“L” Vivian stuttered under the weight of everyone’s gaze. The pressure was overwhelming.
<b>I </b><b>was </b>jealous of how close you were with my brother,” she mumbled, her voice shaky. “I just wanted <b>his </b>attention. I’m sorry I was wrong
charlotte’s eyes stayed sharp, fixed on <b>Vivian</b>. “That’s all? Nothing else?”

“That’s it.”
-old.”
Lilian sighed. “Honestly, Vivian, how can you be so childish? You’re acting like a three–year–o
Vivian’s head hung low, and her voice broke into a sob. “<b>I’m </b>sorry, Moim. I won’t do it again. I promise.” |
James frowned. “At least you know you were wrong. Don’t ever
tever let this happen again, You’ve embarrassed our entire family,”
Charlotte continued to watch Vivian intently, she knew Vivian wasn’t telling the whole truth. But getting her to admit her feelings for Sean in front of James and Lilian was unlikely.
Charlotte didn’t press further. Instead, she gave a casual, almost dismissive smile. “Oh, so that’s all it was, huh?”
James turned to Desmond. “I apologize on behalf of our family. It’s our failure in raising Vivian properly. I hope you can <b>forgive </b>us. About those <b>videos </b>online…”
Desmond pretended to be confused. “What videos?”
James exined, “Someone posted <b>a </b><b>video </b>of what happened at the partyst <b>night</b><b>.</b>”
“ph?” Desmond took a sip of tea. “Let me take a look”
He pulled out his phone. “Where are they?”
Charlotte walked over and pulled up the videos <b>on </b>social media
Desmond watched the clips, his lips twitching as he read the dramatic tities It was <b>almost </b>enough to make himugh.
Thement section was even better. Everyone was roasting Vivian
Desmond chuckled. “Honestly, I think this is fine. When <b>you </b><b>do </b><b>something </b>wrong, you <b>should </b>be ready to face the consequences. If she’s being criticized online, she brought it on herself.”
<b>James </b>looked frustrated. “I understand your point, but this doesn’t just embarrass her. <b>It </b>drags down the reputation of both our families.”
Desmond smiled calmly. “I don’t see it <b>that </b>way. My <b>daughter </b>wasn’t the one who did anything wrong. Besides, no one online knows Vivian is connected to your family. They <b>didn’t </b>see Mrs. Jasper Sr., and Sean didn’t appear in the video either. So how is this damaging your family’s reputation?<b>” </b>
James hesitated, “Hot everyone who attended the party knows <b>it </b>was Vivian<b>, </b>and they know she’s part of the Jasper <b>family</b>.”
“Exactly. Those who know already know. Those who <b>don’t </b><b>never </b>will. Removing the videos or trying to take down the trending posts won’t change that.”
James wat momentarily speechless. Desmond’s logic made too much sense.
The conversation dragged on for another two hours.
Vivian st
i stayed kneeling the entire time<b>, </b>and by the end, she was limping when she got up, her knees clearly bruised.
As she walked ahead of Bean, she tried her usual trick–stumbling slightly, hoping he would feel sorry for her.
But Seandidn’t <b>even </b><b>look </b>at lur. Itis gaze was <b>cold </b>and indifferent.
At the hospital, the tests showed that the bone <b>w </b>door was a perfect match, and the hospital scheduled the transnt for two dayster.
Matthew’s face lit up with a smile that <b>hadn’t </b>been there in a long time. “<b>This </b>is amazing! <b>I </b><b>can’t </b>thank you enough, Miss Riley. <b>You </b>saved my sister’s life. I don’t even <b>loww </b>how to repay you. From now on, whatever you say gors–I’ll do anything <b>you </b><b>ask</b>” <b>His </b>voice broke with emotion as he wiped away his team.

“I’m just <b>d </b>I could help Luna,” she said gendly, slipping her arms around Sean’s. “But I can’t take all the credit. It was my face who helped find the matching
Matthew thanked Sean over and over, his gratitude overtlowing
Jenny was just as overjoyed.
Charlotte had promised Luna that she would help her with makeup today. After a few our words with Matthew, she left the roam and made her way to Luna’s
