Vivian's POV:
I scaled the walls of the villa and ran across the empty road.
Soon, a car pulled over beside me and the driver rolled down the window.
'It's Richard!' My eyes widened in surprise.
"What are you doing here?"
"Spencer asked me to pick you up. He can't really come himself right now," Richard explained.
'It's Spencer...'
Merely hearing his name made my heart ache.
"Get in the car. We need to get the hell out of here first, or else we'll get caught," said Richard.
I knew that those people weren't going to let me escape so easily. They would probably catch up with me if I tarried here any longer.
Thus, I opened the door to the passenger seat and got it the car.
"Richard, how is Spencer?" I asked worriedly.
Ever since I heard that Spencer had a car accident, I had been worrying about him every day.
"His legs were badly injured. He almost had them amputated. Fortunately, the doctors managed to keep his legs intact. But... he can't walk anymore," Richard responded, sounding melancholic.
"How... how could this be?" I cried. My heart bled for Spencer.
'He's such a proud man. What has he been experiencing these past few days?' I asked inwardly.
"Vivian, he's been waiting for you. You're the only motivation he has to live," Richard replied in a heavy tone, and then he sighed.
Tears blurred my vision and my heart was broken.
"Can you tell me why you divorced Spencer all of a sudden, Vivian?" Richard asked tentatively.
I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes and explained, "After my miscarriage, it damaged my uterus, causing it to become more difficult for me to conceive again. I just don't want to be a burden to Spencer."
Richard fell silent for a while and shook his head. "Actually, you don't have to do this. It will only make him feel guiltier."
I touched my flat belly, and it invoked feelings of bitterness.
Raina's POV:
At breakfast, Dad mentioned the auction.
"Dad, are you going to attend the auction?" I asked.
My dad nodded in response.
Feeling distressed over it, I lowered my head and pursed my lips.
"I don't think Charles wants me there," I remarked.
Ever since Scarlett's return, Charles had been giving me the cold shoulder.
'What's so good about Scarlett? Why can't he just move on from her?'
As I gritted my teeth, sadness and indignation flared up in my eyes.
"Raina, you need to fight for your happiness. Only when you cater to his pleasure can you win him over," said my mother.
My eyes lit up when I understood what she meant.
After eating breakfast, I called Chloe and invited her to go shopping with me.
She was glad to accept my invitation.
While we were shopping, I casually mentioned the auction.
"Are you going to the auction?" Chloe's eyes lit up with excitement as we entered a store.
"Raina, my brother loves this brand of clothing the best. Let's go inside, so you can choose one!"
"Thank you so much, Chloe!"
