Chapter 604

Chapter 604:

Stunned by the slap, Kyla momentarily lost her bearings. Regaining her senses, she shoved Vivi away, screaming in protest, “That’s absurd! Why would I seduce him? He’s the one who should be ashamed!”

“Enough! Both of you, shut up!” Moses interjected, his voice booming as his temples throbbed visibly.

He shifted his piercing gaze from Vivi to Tiana, who stood nearby.

“What’s going on with her?” he demanded sternly.

Vivi faltered, her eyes flickering as she stammered, “She… she just came to talk to me about something.”

But Moses, having raised Vivi, saw through the excuse. His suspicion deepened the more she tried to deflect.

“Mr. Quinn.”

A deep voice suddenly cut through the tension. Anson, buttoning his shirt, descended the stairs with casual indifference.

“Vivi hurt Amy and pinned the blame on Sadie,” he stated calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter.

Vivi’s face drained of color at his words.

She stared at Anson in horror, her voice quivering.

“How do you know?”

Anson didn’t respond directly, merely offering a nonchalant glance her way.

Tiana moved to Anson’s side, her head lowered, avoiding eye contact with Vivi.

Struck by the revelation, Vivi felt as if lightning had hit her.

Tiana wasn’t there for help—she was working for Anson. It was all a setup.

Moses, in a sudden fury, backhanded Vivi, sending her sprawling on the floor.

“Didn’t I tell you to talk to Amy and secure the deal with Zoe? How could you hurt Amy?” he roared, his eyes bloodshot with anger.

Vivi clutched her face, tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Amy was biased. She never intended to help me. She deserved it!”

At this point, further excuses were pointless.

Moses suppressed his anger and turned to Anson, mustering a sycophantic smile.

“Anson, Vivi was just not thinking clearly. Please, be magnanimous and don’t hold it against her. We need your support and the marriage alliance.”

Anson regarded Vivi with a faint smile.

“My grandfather is concerned about Vivi’s reputation, but I am indifferent. However, the Quinn family is now at odds with the Wall family. You should be aware of Noah’s capabilities. He will find out what Vivi did.”

Anson paused, seeming to consider the Quinn family’s situation.

“If the Quinn family wants a chance at survival, there’s only one way—to ally with my family against the Wall family.”

Moses furrowed his brows.

Anson was correct. Moses had seen Noah’s cruelty firsthand.

But Anson was just the heir, not the head of the Olson family. Could he really make such decisions?

Moreover, even the Howe and Perry families, when allied, hadn’t managed any advantage over Noah.

The Perry family had even relocated abroad entirely.
