Chapter 383 Vivi Disfigured
Ziana was startled and quickly raised her hand to cover her neck.
Marlyn looked at her and laughed, pointing to the location on her neck. “Right here.”
She fetched a mirror and handed it to Ziana.
Ziana glanced at it and was absolutely furious.
There was a huge h*ckey!
She pulled her collar up in frustration, but Marlyn couldn’t bear to see it and reminded her, “No need to pull it up. It’s not visible.”
“Oh,” Ziana said sheepishly.
Marlyn wasn’t in a hurry and didn’t ask further. She casually waited, not even looking at Ziana anymore, but instead sipped her coffee.
Ziana felt awkward and cleared her throat. “Don’t tell anyone, and don’t mention it to my brother.”
“I’ve got a tight seal on my lips.” Marlyn looked at her eagerly. “Besides, who even talks about this? But wait, do you have a new man in your life, or…”
“It’s him.” Ziana pursed her lips. “Boris.”
“What!” Marlyn was slightly excited. “Have you rekindled your old flame?”
“No,” Ziana quickly responded, “Last night, I… Never mind. Forget it. He explained to me this morning the reason he pushed me for a divorce.”
Marlyn probed, “There was indeed a reason. What is it? Is it similar to what we guessed before?”
Ziana had to admire her. She could guess so accurately, even with a casual guess.
“Exactly, he did have his reasons. He was concerned about the Lewis family’s affairs affecting and hurting me.”
“And then?”
“He begged for my forgiveness.”
Get Bogl
Marlyn observed closely, looking at her expression, and knew what her response would be.
She advised, “Of course, you can’t forgive him so easily! Otherwise, he won’t learn his lesson! You don’t have to forgive just because he made a mistake and apologized. The damage he caused won’t disappear completely with just a few words of apology.”
“Yeah.”
Ziana didn’t want to dwell on this topic any longer. She got up and headed upstairs. “I’ll go rest for a while.”
“Sure, okay.” Marlyn knew she was probably feeling frustrated and distracted, so she waved her off.
After Ziana left, Marlyn took out her phone and logged into her Instagram account to post for the day.
[Are Mr. Lewis and Ziana together today? No.]
Ziana went upstairs and took a nap. When she woke up, Marlyn came to see her again, handing her a box in a secretive manner.
“You might need this.”
Ziana looked down and saw emergency contraception pills.
After getting divorced, Ziana definitely didn’t want to end up pregnant with her ex-husband’s child, so she quickly took the pills.
Marlyn looked at her face and chuckled. “Do you want to go downstairs and take a look? There are guests at home, and he’s making Mrs. Scott all smiles.”
“Who’s here?”
“You’ll find out when you see. Ziana followed Marlyn downstairs, and as soon as they got out of the elevator, she heard Steven’s voice.
“You can’t possibly be a middle-aged woman. I thought you and Ziana were sisters! I’m so heartbroken. I was born more than twenty years too late. Otherwise, I would definitely pursue you, Mrs. Scott.”
Yudel, who was sitting beside them, cleared his throat as a warning, “Tonight, my father might be having dinner at your house, Mr. Howard.”
“No!” Steven conceded, his face showing a fawning expression. “I was merely complimenting Mrs. Scott. I didn’t have any ulterior motives. Besides, how could I ever compare to Mr. Scott? Mr. Scott is handsome, charming, and charismatic. Compared to him, I’m like a toad in a muddy ditch.”
“Good to know.” Yudel glanced at Boris. “The items have been delivered. Is there anything else?”
Boris had been here for a while and kept looking towards the elevator, clearly waiting for someone.
Finally, Ziana appeared, and Boris had no intention of leaving easily
Boris fixed his gaze on Ziana and whispered, “Have Steven explain these instructions and methods to everyone.”
Steven immediately began his performance, saying, “These are the cutting-edge magical beauty devices that create by Kingston Laboratory…”
Ziana simply turned and entered the elevator.
Boris’ eyes instantly sullen, concealing his disappointment.
Although he only glanced at her briefly and saw that she seemed unaffected, it was enough for him.
Before long, he left with Steven.
Observing Boris’ expression in the car, Steven commented, “Boris, Ziana is still upset, so it’s normal that she doesn’t want to see you.”
“I know. She’s not wrong, and it’s natural for her to be angry.”
Steven scoffed lightly. “It’s good that you can understand that.”
“Yes. I won’t blame her.” Boris looked at the passing scenery outside the window, lost in thought. Suddenly, he said, “Let’s go back to Japera City and settle the score with Wade.”
Steven immediately caught on. “Did he do something related to Ziana being drugged?”
Boris shook his head. “It was Vivi.”
He found out from the footage captured by the diamond necklace.
“What! She’s so malicious and cu***ing?” Steven was greatly shocked. “I can’t tell just by looking at her!”
Vivi had a pure and innocent appearance, and her consistent portrayal of a sunny image led everyone to believe she was pure-hearted and kind.
Boris let out a scornful laugh.
Steven continued, “So, what do you plan to do about her?”
“She still has some usefulness, but I’ll give her a little lesson.”
That night, they boarded a plane and flew back to Japera City from Scope Island.
As they exited the airport, a crowd was cheering and shouting Vivi’s name.
Vivi smiled and waved to everyone, feeling an overwhelming sense of vanity.
Since she had posted that Instagram photo of the diamond necklace on social media, her long-dormant fans had begun their activities.
Upon learning that she was returning, they immediately organized a grand welcome gathering in her fan group.
The purpose was to show everyone what it meant to be a top-tier celebrity with massive popularity and influence.
No matter the rumors she had been embroiled in, or the fact that she had broken up with Japera City’s richest man, it didn’t matter.
In the end, Vivi would have the last laugh.
The smile on Vivi’s lips grew deeper and deeper.
“Vivi! Vivi!”
“Vivi, you and Mr. Lewis should be happy together!”
“Mr. Lewis, Vivi is the best girl in the world. You must keep her happy forever!”
As they were about to leave the airport, suddenly, a frail man leaped over the railing and rushed towards Vivi. He held a mysterious bottle in his hand, unscrewed the cap, and splashed it onto Vivi’s face. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Caught off guard, Vivi had more than half of her face drenched, instantly feeling a stinging, scorching sensation that left her mind blank.
She screamed in agony, “My face! My face!”
People around her were startled and quickly stepped back as her face rapidly corroded, emitting smoke.
Only the deranged man from earlier was laughing heartily.
Soon, airport security, upon learning of the situation, swiftly arrived and subdued the man on the ground.
He continued to rant, “Vivi! You deceitful, wretched woman! You betrayed me! I spent so much money on you! You should only marry me! You shameless whore!”
