“Are you kidding me? Do you honestly want me to take the blame? You were the one who did everything, you were
the mastermind! I was just helping you. And now, you expect me to take the fall for you?”
It was ridiculous.
Did Vivian really think she was that stupid? Or was it because of her had no qualms in throwing her under the bus?
“You’re free to refuse, of course, in which case, we will be taking back the million dollars we gave your parents. Ah,
but your father is suffering from a serious illness, isn’t he? I’m pretty sure he needs the money.”
Vivian was unfazed. She had come here with the certainty that Allie would do as she asked.
Allie’s words died in her throat.
It took her moment to compose herself, and then she called her parents to confirm everything Vivian had just said.
Sure enough, the woman was telling the truth.

As if to goad Allie, Vivian glanced at her luxury wristwatch and clicked her tongue.
“I understand. When Brandon catches me, I will say that it was all my doing.”
Allie didn’t want to do it, but she had very little choice.
If she wanted money for her father’s treatment, then she would have to comply with Vivian’s instructions.
Fear gnawed at her long after she and Vivian had parted ways. She was terrified of what Brandon might do to her,
and suspicious that Vivian had tricked her.
Hence, when she came home that night, Allie packed her luggage and headed straight to the airport. She wanted to
leave the city immediately and go somewhere no one knew her.
Unfortunately, Brandon’s men were already waiting for her, and they captured her as soon as she arrived at the
airport.
In the visiting room.
Vivian was still trying to soothe Allie.
“Since you’re already here, you need to stay calm. There’s nothing you can do to change anything, anyway.”
Allie shook her head frantically. She clutched Vivian’s hand as tears streamed down her face.
“In the last few days, I’ve witnessed first-hand just how ruthless criminals are.I can’t even imagine what might
happen to me if I get locked up for good! You have to get me out of this hellhole!”
But Vivian ignored her pleas. She shook off Allie’s hand, her eyes flashing with disgust.
“Brandon believes that you’re behind everything, right?” Allie sniffed.
“Of course. That’s why I’m here, isn’t it?”
Vivian heaved an inward sigh of relief. Her main purpose for coming here was to make sure that Allie had indeed
taken the blame for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow that it was settled, she no longer had any business in this place.
Seeing that Vivian was about to leave, Allie shot to her feet and stopped her.
“You haven’t told me when you’re getting me out yet!”
This woman was her last hope for salvation.Vivian pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes.
“Are you really that naive, or are you just plain stupid? Don’t you see what’s happening?”
Allie balked at the sight of the other woman’s face.
An ominous feeling gripped her heart.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I’m not getting you out of here,” Vivian scoffed.
“The Turner family and I are no match for Brandon Larson, so we needed to pin the blame on someone else, that’s
all.”
This bitch was about to ditch her! Allie realized too late that she had truly become a scapegoat.
Different emotions played across her face-shock, despair, then finally, rage. She was so furious that veins started
appearing on her forehead.
