Chapter 38

Arabella felt a chill run down her spine under Vivienne’s piercing gaze.

Vivienne was downright terrifying!

She instinctively took a step back.

Everyone else in the room was equally unnerved by the commanding presence Vivienne exuded.

“Is she really just a country girl?” they all wondered.

Vivienne had an aura around her that even the most well–bred socialites couldn’t match.

The room fell into an eerie silence. Dorian broke the silence, asking Vivienne, “Is there really no other way?”

“There is. Wait till the drug wears off!” Vivienne’s tone softened when she addressed Dorian.

Upon hearing this, Dorian simply nodded, not uttering another word. “If you can’t fix this, then let’s just head home. We won’t be coming here anymore unless absolutely necessary,” he said.

His words were a direct challenge to Beatrice.

She immediately shot back, “Dorian! What are you implying? Are you cutting ties with me?”

“If you can’t stand Vivienne, I won’t bring her here to be humiliated. She’s my daughter. If you can’t love her, then I’ll love her for you!”

With that, Dorian took Vivienne and left.
