For someone who was so trained in compartmentalizing his emotions to the point that he hardly batted an eyelash at snuffing someone’s lights out, he was surprisingly skittish about this little action. In fact, he was so averse to being called out about what he had done that he balked at returning to the couch, preferring to stand a few feet away and gawking at her with his cup of water in hand.Vivian, for her part, ignored him. After snipping away every picture in the pile, she put her scissors
“It’d be great if that’s true,” Vivian said with a doubtful expression after taking a glimpse of Edward.Edward wanted to tease her further. However, she did not seem keen on continuing the conversation. After sorting out the photos and placing both her pictures as well as Renne’s photo into two separate bags, she got up from the couch and walked toward the bedroom. However, Edward did not want to let her go, so he stopped her without hesitation. “Viv.”She stopped and turned back with a fro
Renne lifted her head and took a glance at her, then lowered her head again to continue flipping across the photos. Softly but rapidly, she whispered, “I should be the one asking this question. Can you tell me what’s happening? Do you know how Liam got my contact? He got Jono to help him, the guy I used to have a crush. Liam sent me an email using Jono’s email!”Renne glared at Vivian as she lifted her head again. “Are you planning to be a spy? What are you hiding from me? What has Edward done
Vivan’s gaze remained unchanged and she refused to give any comment.In fact, she was having an inner conflict. While she was glad that Edward murdered Morris, she was also feeling guilty that the entire Baker family had died because of her. Even though Morris deserved to be killed, his family was innocent. Somehow, she was also the victim when she pondered further. She was already as helpless as prey that had been caught by the predator, yet unbelievably, she still bothered to sympathize wit
Without waiting for Vivian to ask, Edward tried to casually explain out of guilt as he pointed at the corporate office, “I was running some errands there, and coincidentally saw you.” Wade heard him as he walked toward them. He smiled as he slightly lifted his chin and gazed at the corporate office located far away with a fountain and numerous statues built before it. Secretly, he wanted to mock his boss, ‘Wow, your eyesight is amazing, Mr. Levin! How could you have seen Miss Carraway sitting
Vivian pretended that she didn’t notice the eye communication between the two of them and agreed, “Great, let’s go then.”Vivian and Edward went for dinner. Certainly, it was a good restaurant just like the CEO of Levin Enterprise recommended as the ambiance and the food quality was definitely above average. However, there was not much conversation between them as usual. Vivian’s goal was to be close to Edward without getting him to feel suspicious, while he was trying his best to please her wi
Unexpectedly, that was truly what Edward wanted to hear. The expression on his face improved, and he nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he looked at the celebrity behind Seth and asked, “Is she your friend?” Seth appeared like he was deeply frightened. He could not utter anything for a short while. That celebrity was a new movie star who had become famous recently. She was smart, lively, and knew how to behave appropriately. She went forward when she saw Seth’s reaction and took off her su
Vivian won a lot of chips that were stacked high before her. She soon lost interest in the game, thus she turned around and said to Edward, “I’m tired. Your turn.” While Edward was slightly reluctant, he wasn’t actually afraid of losing the game. He just knew that Vivian would sit over on the sofa if he joined the game instead of sitting beside him and watching them. He smiled faintly. “Don’t play anymore if you’re tired. Let’s go home.” The other players were infuriated. How could they lea
