Chapter 153 The wannabe mistress
Liliana’s scandal had been in hype since she had stepped foot in P city.
No one had forgotten the blood test reports Jonathan had shown about him being drugged or him asking Vivian to clarify their relationship.
Judging by the video, it was clear that Vivian was the wannabe mistress, while the married couple had been more than merciful towards her.
Even when releasing the video, they blurred her naked form.
‘I can’t believe this is true.’
‘The experts have verified.’
‘I thought the experts were bribed, so I took all the footage that has been released in this case, and had them personally verified – and guess what they are all real.’
‘Was the gentle and kind Miss Stone a facade? Have I been blinded for years?’
‘How can she sell herself like that just for petty grudges?’
‘Oh my god!’
‘Hey, does this mean Miss Stone had tried to hurt Mrs. Liliana? She had clearly said ‘I even asked my husband to compromise and suffer grievances to give you some dignity.’ It must mean this, right?’
‘Why doesn’t Vivian Stone kill herself?’
‘Such a cheap slut!’
‘No wonder President Smith had never admitted to being in a relationship with her.’
‘I can’t believe she would do this to another woman.’
‘Mistress accuses the married couple of duping her. What a story!’This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
‘I apologize to President Smith and Mrs. Liliana for saying those things wrongfully.’
‘I wonder why President Smith never released this footage.’
‘The couple must have had enough to finally retort to this.’
‘Do you guys remember when Vivian Stone had called Jonathan her man in front of Liliana and accused her of holding onto Jonathan despite already having a kid? Had anyone expected this twist?’
‘Oh, God! That reminds me, Mrs. Liliana referred to Vivian Stone as the woman who hurt her daughter. How vicious is she?’
‘Why is she so vicious?’
Vivian was still in shock by night. She was robotically reading the comments as they increased in number and curses.
She felt too numb as she realized how spectacularly she had failed.
At around dawn, she finally fell asleep due to exhaustion, only to be awakened shortly after by her assistant who said her father was on the line.
Vivian whimpered as soon as she held the phone, “Daddy!”
Mr. Stone, however, was not in the mood to console her, “Vivi, what the hell did you do? Why is our company getting targeted?”
Vivian felt that a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head waking her up instantly, “What do you mean, dad?”
Mr. Stone hissed, “Someone is deliberately targeting Stone Group. At this rate, our capital chain will break within the next two days. After that, it’s just a matter of time before we go bankrupt.”
Vivian hesitated before she asked, “Don’t we have any cooperation with Smith Group?”
Mr. Stone was infuriated by her question, “How can you still be obsessed over a man after all this? Do you think he will help you?”
Vivian, however, still held hope. After all, the video had been released by Liliana’s assistant and not by anyone from Smith Group.
Besides, they still had a trump card. Liliana had given birth to someone else’s children, cuckolding Jonathan.
Thinking of this, Vivian confidently said, “I will fix this, dad. Give me some time.”
Vivian then texted Rose and hyped up Liliana’s bastard children.
Slowly, she also built momentum on the fact that Jonathan had started a relationship with Vivian after finding out that his wife had cheated on him.
The video was a deliberate attempt from Liliana to screw things between them that had been scripted behind the scenes.
Vivian planned to salvage her reputation by playing the victim card as she turned Liliana into a big bad victim.
Vivian felt relieved after sorting out her thoughts.
She had a backup plan ready even if Stone group went bankrupt. She had established a shell company and had used it to launder money. Behind it, she had saved up quite a bit of capital which would allow them to start fresh even if everything went south.
Thinking of this, she finally relaxed and gave instructions to her assistant to buy a villa on the outskirts of P city immediately under her maternal grandmother’s name, and an apartment in the P city center under her fake ID. This would give them a place to stay when they wanted to be secluded.
While her assistant went out to carry on her instructions, she took a quick shower and got changed before heading out.
