Chapter 5: You Scheme Against Me, I'll Sleep with Your Man
Colton's forehead bulged with veins as he seethed, "You're a damn troublemaker, Vivienne..."All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Vivienne sneered at him. "Yes, I'm a troublemaker. But who gave birth to me? It was you."
Colton felt his lungs ache with anger. "I should have strangled you when you were born," he said.
Vivienne leaned against the table and laughed. "Yes, you should have killed me like you drove my mom to her death." Everyone said Vivienne's biological mother was Colton's mistress, but little did they know that Mrs. Scully was the true mistress.
After Colton married Vivienne's mother, he fell in love with someone else and slowly caused her death.
To cover up these ugly truths, he colluded with Barbara Montague, now Mrs. Scully, and claimed that Vivienne's mother seduced him while Mrs. Scully was pregnant with their first child and that Vivienne was born afterward. Later, when Vivienne's biological mother died in an accident, Mrs. Scully took pity on the poor girl and allowed her into the Scully family.
Thus, it became widely known among Los Angeles' high society circles that Mrs. Scully had a kind heart and treated her husband's illegitimate daughter exceptionally well despite never officially acknowledging her as part of the family. During the years she spent in the Scully family household, Vivienne endured humiliation after humiliation just so they could revel in their own pleasure.
The image of her mother jumping off a building to commit suicide remained etched in Vivienne's mind, even after all these years had passed. Hatred burned within her day by day, consuming almost every fiber of her soul. When she entered The Scully Family at the age of eight, all the warmth and happiness in her life were shattered that day.
The hatred in Vivienne's eyes made Colton shiver with fear. It suddenly dawned on him that his eldest daughter, whom he had ignored for so many years, had transformed into a devilish creature before his very eyes.
She was already consumed by darkness, waiting to devour every single member of The Scully Family without hesitation, even if it meant taking herself down along with them.
Colton trembled as he asked, "You... you want revenge for your mother?"
It was only now that Colton realized what Vivienne truly wanted to do.
Vivienne stared at him like a demon emerging from hell, her red eyes fixed intently on him. "From the moment you brought me into this family, you should have known I would come back to make sure none of you could ever rest easy again." Colton felt guilty, but he was a selfish and self-centered person who would kick anyone out of his way if they blocked his path towards wealth and prosperity without any sense of guilt or remorse.
Vivienne laughed like a madwoman as she looked coldly at Colton, making him feel chills run down his spine.
