Upon hearing the door open, Iris turned her head while covering the half of her face that had been hit. She forced out a smile that was uglier than a sob. “Vivienne, you’re here?”

“Mmm.” Vivienne responded coldly.

I’m really sorry this time.” Iris apologized. It was obvious that she felt guilty.

Vivienne didn’t respond.

“Finally deigned to visit this old lady, have you?” Beatrice sneered at Vivienne.

“I’m just here to pick up my brother.” Vivienne said with an expressionless face as she scanned the room before asking coldly, “Where’s Thaddeus?”

“He’s locked in the bathroom next door.” Iris confessed. Shame was written all over her face;

she barely had the courage to meet Vivienne’s eyes.

She never imagined that Beatrice would be so ruthless. Not only had she used Iris to lure Thaddeus here, but she, Michael, and Joseph had been threatening Thaddeus non-stop.

When the young boy refused to speak, they locked him in the bathroom, ignoring his cries and Iris’ pleas for mercy.

Iris felt deeply ashamed.

Vivienne turned to leave.
