The reporters exchanged glances and then immediately put on ingratiating smiles.
“Since Mr. Harrington has spoken, we’d better follow his order.”
They left in a hurry, not even daring to hide in the shadows for secret shots.
In Swinford, anyone who went against Edmund would never stand unharmed on this land.
Once the reporters were gone, the air turned deathly silent and cold.

Edmund’s gaze darkened as he looked at Vivienne, who was cradled in another man’s arms. A chilling aura radiated from him.
His thin lips parted, and he coldly spat out two words. “Get down.”
Being held by a stranger already made Vivienne uncomfortable.
Now that the news about her was spreading like wildfire, she didn’t want Dante to be dragged into
She lowered her voice. “Put me down!
- it.
Dante, as if oblivious to Edmund’s dark and terrifying expression, refused. “No. Your ankle is sprained. You need to get to a hospital quickly.”
Edmund’s gaze remained locked onto Vivienne’s face, his deep eyes like frozen ice, exuding a suffocating chill.
He spoke slowly, enunciating every word. “Vivienne, I told you to get down.”
Edmund had always been unreadable, his emotions rarely visible. Vivienne had almost never seen him. show any fluctuations.
But now, his eyes were dark and piercing as he looked at the two of them, as if he were staring at something he utterly despised.
Seeing her remain still, his expression grew even more frightening.
He stepped forward, approaching them at an unhurried pace.
Reaching out, Edmund attempted to pull Vivienne down.
Dante blocked him with his arm, but holding Vivienne limited his movement. He failed to stop Edmund.
Vivienne was yanked from Dante’s arms.
Edmund gripped her wrist tightly and turned to leave.

Edmund halted, turning his gaze to Dante. His voice, laced with ice and contempt, squeezed from his throat.
“Let go of her
Dante’s lips curled into a careless smile. “Shouldn’t I be the one saying that?”
Edmund’s eyes sharpened. “Do you think you’re worth
Dante let out a low chuckle. “Whether I am or not isn’t up to you. What matters is what Vivi thinks.”
He turned to Vivienne, his voice gentle. “Vivi, do you want to go with him?“.
Vivienne knew Dante had called her that deliberately, to Irritate Edmund,
Her gaze swept past Lillian, who stood not far away. Edmund and Lillian had come out of the same.
restaurant.
They had likely just finished their meal, and Edmund had conveniently informed Lillian about Vivienne’s captivity, perhaps to earn a smile from his beloved.
Vivienne’s expression cooled. She didn’t look at Edmund but turned to Dante instead. “My ankle is Sprained. Mr. Sinclair, could you please take me to the hospital?”
Dante’s smile deepened. “Of course, there’s no need for formalities between us.”
A flicker of disbelief appeared in Edmund’s eyes. His voice was icy. “Vivienne, don’t tell me you’ve gotten involved with this man again.”
Vivienne frowned, clearly uncomfortable. “Mr. Harrington, you’re amusing. First, there’s no scandal between me and Mr. Sinclair. Second, we have no unclear entanglements. It was just a simple meal, and when I ran into trouble, Mr. Sinclair lent a hand… Yet in your eyes, that means I’ve already attached myself to another man.”
She glanced at Lillian, her expression indifferent.
“So as long as I talk to a man, that means I have an improper relationship with him? Mr. Harrington, are you just projecting your mindset onto others?”
Dante’s smile carried a teasing edge. “Mr. Harrington, you didn’t step in to save her in time when Vivi was being surrounded just now. And now, you want to take credit from me?”
Edmund’s gaze darkened, and he was at a loss for words
Lillian, standing beside him, spoke on his behalf. “Eddy just arrived not long ago. He never meant to refuse to save Ms. Everest…”
Dante’s thin lips curled slightly. “Just now, when the reporters went to interview Ms. Lillian, Mr. Harrington reprimanded them. But when those same reporters slandered Vivi in every possible way, Mr. Harrington didn’t say a single word to defend his wife.
Lillian seemed unable to listen any longer. Lillian furrowed her brows and said, “Ms. Everest herself admitted some things. They’re not baseless rumors. Mr Sinclair, if you don’t believe it, you can ask Ms. Everest.”

Dante didn’t even spare Lillian a glance. Instead, he looked straight at Edmund. Mr. Harrington, is that what you believe as well?”
Edmund’s gaze was deep, but his eyes landed on Viviene. “Are you coming down or not?”
It seemed Dante’s words had been wasted. Talking to him was just wasting time. It was completely pointless.
Vivienne said calmly, “Mr. Sinclair, take me to the hospital first.”
Dante chuckled softly. “At your service, Vivi.
Carrying Vivienne, he walked past Edmund, stirring up a cool breeze.
At the hospital, the doctor examined Vivienne’s foot.
It was just some surface wounds, with no damage to the bone.
Dante stepped out to take a call. Vivienne leaned back in the chair and, before she knew it, drifted off to sleep.
Her dreams were bizarre and unsettling.
One moment, she saw Lillian’s twisted, malicious smile. Next, she was reliving Edmund and Theo pushing, her into an abyss.
Vivienne jolted awake with a shudder.
Her breathing was rapid, and a thin layer of cold sweat clung to her forehead.
“Had a nightmare? She received a few clean tissues and heard a deep, cool voice from the side.
Vivienne took them and instinctively murmured, “Thank you.”
After wiping her forehead, she turned her head and suddenly saw a tall, familiar figure.
Her movements froze. She blinked in surprise, then frowned. “Why are you here?”
Edmund saw the coldness in her expression and let out mocking laugh. “What’s wrong? Didn’t see the person you were hoping for, so now you’re disappointed?”
Vivienne said indifferently, “Not seeing who I want to see is one thing. Seeing someone I don’t want to see? Now that’s just disgusting.”
Edmund stared at her and suddenly said, “If you’re willing to apologize, I’ll publicly clarify that this was all a misunderstanding”
Apologize?
Vivienne nearly laughed. “I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?”
Edmund hadn’t expected her to still be this stubborn after all this time. His voice turned cold. “Vivienne/4

even now, you don’t think you did anything wrong?”
Vivienne clenched her fists instinctively, her knuckles turning pale from the pressure.
She was already being driven crazy by everything being said abo waiting for her to admit fault.
What an absolute joke.

her online, and yet Edmund was still
She sneered. “The biggest mistake of my life was choosing to marry you!”
Edmund’s face darkened. “Vivienne, that’s enough.”
Vivienne smirked. “I’ve had enough. If you want to turn a blind eye for Lillian’s sake, go ahead! But I won’t be the fool who keeps swallowing my pride and taking the blame.”
Edmund’s gaze grew heavier. “You want too much.”
