âAre you kidding me? Do you honestly want me to take the blame? You were the one who did everything, you were the mastermind! I was just helping you. And now, you expect me to take the fall for you?â
It was ridiculous.
Did Vivian really think she was that stupid? Or was it because of her had no qualms in throwing her under the bus?
âYouâre free to refuse, of course, in which case, we will be taking back the million dollars we gave your parents. Ah, but your father is suffering from a serious illness, isnât he? Iâm pretty sure he needs the money.â
Vivian was unfazed. She had come here with the certainty that Allie would do as she asked.
Allieâs words died in her throat.
It took her moment to compose herself, and then she called her parents to confirm everything Vivian had just said.
Sure enough, the woman was telling the truth.
âWell? Have you come to a decision? Time waits for no one, you know.â
As if to goad Allie, Vivian glanced at her luxury wristwatch and clicked her tongue.
âI understand. When Brandon catches me, I will say that it was all my doing.â
Allie didnât want to do it, but she had very little choice.
If she wanted money for her fatherâs treatment, then she would have to comply with Vivianâs instructions.
Fear gnawed at her long after she and Vivian had parted ways. She was terrified of what Brandon might do to her, and suspicious that Vivian had tricked her.
Hence, when she came home that night, Allie packed her luggage and headed straight to the airport. She wanted to leave the city immediately and go somewhere no one knew her.
Unfortunately, Brandonâs men were already waiting for her, and they captured her as soon as she arrived at the airport.
In the visiting room.
Vivian was still trying to soothe Allie.
âSince youâre already here, you need to stay calm. Thereâs nothing you can do to change anything, anyway.â
Allie shook her head frantically. She clutched Vivianâs hand as tears streamed down her face.
âIn the last few days, Iâve witnessed first-hand just how ruthless criminals are.I canât even imagine what might happen to me if I get locked up for good! You have to get me out of this hellhole!â
But Vivian ignored her pleas. She shook off Allieâs hand, her eyes flashing with disgust.
âBrandon believes that youâre behind everything, right?â Allie sniffed.
âOf course. Thatâs why Iâm here, isnât it?â
Vivian heaved an inward sigh of relief. Her main purpose for coming here was to make sure that Allie had indeed taken the blame for her.
Now that it was settled, she no longer had any business in this place.
Seeing that Vivian was about to leave, Allie shot to her feet and stopped her.
âYou havenât told me when youâre getting me out yet!â
This woman was her last hope for salvation.Vivian pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes.
âAre you really that naive, or are you just plain stupid? Donât you see whatâs happening?â
Allie balked at the sight of the other womanâs face.
An ominous feeling gripped her heart.
âWhat do you mean by that?â
âIâm not getting you out of here,â Vivian scoffed.
âThe Turner family and I are no match for Brandon Larson, so we needed to pin the blame on someone else, thatâs all.â
This bitch was about to ditch her! Allie realized too late that she had truly become a scapegoat.
Different emotions played across her face-shock, despair, then finally, rage. She was so furious that veins started appearing on her forehead.

âYou liar! Youâve planned this since the beginning, havenât you?
How could Vivian do this to her?
âGet your dirty hands off me!â Vivian snapped viciously. She swatted Allieâs had away and proceeded to slap the latter in the face. âCount yourself lucky that youâre still alive. That is the extent of my mercy.Allie, Miss Turner used to treat you well, didnât she? Just take this as a way for you to repay her kindness.â
Vivian leaned close and smirked at the stunned woman.
âDonât worryâ she said in a low voice.
âI will never stop trying to avenge Charis, and I will succeed one day.â Allie finally broke down.
âDo you really think I canât do anything to you?â she screamed.
âIâm going to tell the prison guards all about your crimes. If I have to go down, then Iâm taking you and the Turner family along with me!â
Vivian smiled again before stating the address of Allieâs parents.
âOh, Allie, Allie. You never learn, do you? Have you forgotten that your parents are still benefiting from the money that I gave them? If the Turners and I are put to jail, whoâs going to support your poor, ailing father? Think about it carefully.â Allie crumpled to her knees in defeat. She didnât want Vivian to get away with what she had done, but she couldnât risk her parentsâ safety, either.
Just then, a prison guard came over with his electric baton.
âTime is up.Come with me, Allie Olson.â
He pulled her up by the arm and ushered her toward the door.
