Nobody could foresee what would happen tomorrow. The only thing we could be certain of was what we did today, and then accept everything that it would bring to us. After Vivian sent Noelle to the hospital to have the doctor tend to her wounds, she drove her back to her house. It was already very late, and there were very few pedestrians on the street. When Noelle got down from her car, she looked skyward and exclaimed, “Meteor! Miss Carraway, look! It's a meteor!” Vivian looked towards the d
She had no idea why the young girl was with Edward and why she would end up on his bed. She tried to come up with a reason, but her brain refused to cooperate. There was nothing but only blankness in her head right now, and she could not think of anything.Edward was apparently pleased by the girl’s reaction. He let out a snicker and said, “But I don’t want to let you go.” Then, the call was terminated. The weather was cold, yet Vivian’s palms were slick with sweat. She leaned towards the s
Immediately after she hung up on the call, she punched in Wade’s phone number. Then, before he could utter anything, she ordered, “Give Edward the phone.” Wade was stunned for a little while. However, he soon came around to his senses and answered, “Mr. Levin is sleeping, so…” “Give him the phone!” she interrupted forcefully. “I’m sorry, Miss Carraway,” Wade replied once more, his voice apathetic and cold, “Mr. Levin has given me the orders. Nobody is to disturb him when he’s sleeping, not
Vivian had seen this person before when Edward had brought her to Tipsy Tonight the last time. Judging from his attire, she speculated that he must be the manager of Tipsy Tonight. As such, she leaned forward, grabbed him by his collar, and snarled into his ear, “I’ll be straight with you. I guess you already know why I am here. It won’t be a good sight if I make a scene here, so why don’t you do me a favor and tell me where Edward Levin is? I’ll go and look for him myself. I’ll close the door,
Perhaps, she could even take her chance once more. Anyhow, the situation could not worsen anymore, anyhow. It had only taken a moment for her to change her mind. The anger on Vivian’s face vanished and she cracked into a spurious smile to answer his question with a question. “What am I doing? Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it.”The woman actually refused to acknowledge her fault despite facing imminent death. She still had the courage to try to be clever with him, much to Edward’s anger an
Edward leaned forward with his arms propping up his body against the back of the sofa to trap her. He enunciated his words slowly as he asked, “Who do you think you are? How are you going to save her just by coming here yourself? With that ridiculous trifle intelligence of yours or with your identity as my woman? With my approval for you to stab Baldie’s hand? Or with my putting up with you when you took Noelle away today?”His lips maintained his smirk all this time, yet she could see the grim
Edward stopped for a long while before he looked toward Vivian with a faint mocking smile that lasted a moment. He asked her softly, “So, this is what you’re counting on for real, right?”The police that rushed over were actually made up of two groups of officers. The first group arrived after Claude Pointdexter reported the case while the other group was from the special police force. Madam Konstantin had called her deceased son’s old colleague to seek help in her panic. Upon learning that the
Claude blushed scarlet and tried to defend himself, but Vivian gave him a nudge from the side. She lowered her head and admitted her mistake to the police. “I’m sorry, sir. It’s our mistake for messing up the facts. We didn’t do this on purpose.”Almost no one would believe her but the police could see that Edward did not have the intention to press forward with the case and they didn’t want to cause more trouble, so they gave Vivian and Edward a serious lecture before they called it a night.
