Chapter 1098
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1098 â Terrible Torture
Sean remembered how Vivian had been a few days before. Back then she had appeared to be in
normal spirits. Now she seemed completely insane. âDidnât Brandon send you here to collect Vivianâs
things? Itâs all in that box inside. Sean, you donât need me to ask someone to help you carry it to your
car, do you?â Luke nodded toward the big box on a round wooden table and snorted disdainfully. Sean
glanced at the box, smiled, and said, âItâs fine. I can handle it myself. I can see that youâre very busy
here. If you need my help, tell me. Iâm willing to be of assistance.â
There was no emotion on Lukeâs face, beside the ubiquitous look of cunning in his eyes that everyone
was used to seeing. âWe have enough help here, thank you. Go and tell Brandon that Vivian has gone
mad. Three days ago, Vivian wanted to commit suicide. I donât know if she is really crazy or just
pretending, nor do I really care. The more she wants to die, the more I want her to live in this world and
suffer.â
âWhere are they taking her?â
Title of the document
The logo on the ambulance was from an asylum.
One which was infamous.
That place was known for its cruel therapies, which were practically abuse and torture. No patient got
well there or came back from that place. It was said to be like hell on earth. Luke was more ruthless
than Sean had realized.
âItâs a nursing home abroad. Donât worry. I have spoken to the doctors, and they will take good care of
Vivian.â Sneering, Luke ordered the medical staff to remove Vivian from the premises as soon as
possible.
âHurry up. This crazy woman is polluting our air. She stinks!â
Sean didnât notice the stench of excrement until he heard Lukeâs words.
He watched as the medical staff bundled Vivian into the ambulance. Her dress was stained yellow and
brown.
âNo one cleaned her? She was your adopted daughter after all.â Seanâs voice was cold. Disgust filled
his heart.
âSheâs not our adopted daughter, but just a lunatic.â Luke pulled a handkerchief from his trouser pocket
and wiped his fingers. âWe had to keep her locked in the basement. We gave her liquid food to keep
her alive.â
The medical staff behaved as though Vivian was worthless cargo. They ignored the humanity of their
prisoner. At one point the stretcher tilted, and Vivian would have fallen to the ground had she not been
strapped in place. She sobbed for help. Sean lost himself in her eyes. She was struggling and crying,
completely lucid and aware of what was happening.
He suspected Luke was lying when he claimed Vivian was mad. This was her punishment. Revenge for
the shame Vivian had brought to the family.
Vivian would spend the rest of her life in torment. âWhy are you looking at her like that? Are you
sympathizing with Vivian?â Luke glanced at Sean. A weird smile marred his features.
âShe doesnât deserve my sympathy.â Sean then turned away and entered the villa to grab the box.
When the van holding Vivian left, the villa was quiet again.
Sean gazed around the spacious and brightly lit living room, realizing he hadnât seen Catherine.
Catherine had loved Vivian. She had tried to give the girl a happy life and a hopeful future. Sean
wondered what Catherine would think if she saw Vivian strapped down and raving.
âWhat are you looking at? Vivianâs things are all here.â Luke approached Sean and stared at him
curiously.
Sean looked down at the box before he picked it up. He weighed it in his hands and smiled. âI was just
thinking how lovely your living room looks.â Then he got in the car and left.
