Chapter 23
When Love Comes Late
âLook at what your PR officer did to me.
â
In Stellaâs absence, Vivien felt free to spin many lies.
Save for earlier, Matthew always took her side.
Vivien was sure that the bruise would arouse his sympathy, so she continued to complain, âShe was so rude to me.
She called my unprintable names and also said that my career was dead.
As if that wasnât enough, she said that I didnât deserve to be here.

For good measure, she held her chest with her other hand and forced a tear.
She also managed to make her voice shaky.
Matthew glanced at Vivien with an indifferent expression.
Having known her for years, he could tell that she was only putting up an act now.
When Matthew got bored of listening to her lies, he said coldly, âYou are a public figure, so you should act right in public.
Donât cause a scene here.
Otherwise, Iâll get you thrown out.
â
Vivienâs jaw went slack.
Only moments ago, she thought that Matthew would punish Stella on her behalf.
This direct opposite response of his was like a punch to her gut.
At this time, she noticed that someone was watching them.
Her face flushed with embarrassment.
She hated Stella even more.
She gritted her teeth while cursing in her mind.
Matthew was being mean to her.
And it was all because of Stella.
âYou know what? You should go home now.
Iâll ask my driver to take you,â Matthew suddenly said.
Vivien decided that if she must leave, she had better leave with him.
So, she pleaded, âCan you go with me? I donât want to be left alone.
â
âYou wonât be alone.
Itâs either you allow the driver take you home or you wait here for your agent.
Itâs your call.
â Matthewâs decision was loud and clear.
Vivien was embarrassed.
Through clenched jaws, she said in a low voice, âIn that case, Iâll go with your driver.
â
Matthew wasted no time calling the driver over and then sent her off.
As he looked away, his mind went down memory lane to how he first came to know Vivien.
Years ago, when he wasnât a member of the Clark family, he and his mother were poor and homeless.
The constant sufferings put a strain on his motherâs health.
She did many menial jobs, so she had the body of someone way older.
One day while he was far away from home, his mother fainted when she went out to buy food.
It was Vivien who saw her and rushed her to the hospital.
