Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 531

Inside the ultra-exclusive VIP lounge.

Mina Blackthorne’s brows furrowed, her gaze locked onto Vivienne Lexton as she scrutinized her from top to bottom, left to right, and front to back.

Damn it. They were both wealthy heiresses, so why did Vivienne get to eat so well?

The moment Vivienne had stepped out of the elevator, Mina felt completely outclassed.

Vivienne was amused by Mina’s visibly defeated expression. To smooth things over for their upcoming business, she offered an olive branch by handing over the iPad. "Here, order whatever you want. My treat."

She was so familiar with this routine—a true regular customer.

Mina turned her head away in refusal. "I'm not ordering anything. I already have someone I like. I absolutely refuse to sink to your level."

Vivienne gave her a look and tapped the iPad screen. "Fine. I'll get an avocado milkshake frappe, and you can stick to tap water."

Mina’s expression shifted instantly. She snatched the iPad back, scrolling through the menu with a sheepish look. "Why is it all fruit drinks?"

Vivienne leaned back against the sofa, crossing her arms as she watched her. "What else did you expect?"

Mina pretended not to hear her and casually ordered a high-sugar strawberry milkshake.

After ordering, she clicked her tongue, giving Vivienne another appraising look. "I didn't expect you to play so fast and loose."

Vivienne couldn't be bothered to explain.

Her relationship with Mina was delicate right now—somewhere near friendship, yet far from actual trust. It wasn't the right time to share certain secrets.

Mina took Vivienne's silence as an admission, glanced around the room, and finally remembered why she was there.

"You asked me to meet you here. Is there something you wanted to say?"

"I assumed you had something you wanted to say to me," Vivienne replied.

After all, in Mina's mind, Vivienne was the only person other than Rowena Blackthorne who knew the truth about her identity and posed a threat. If Mina wanted to keep her secret safe, she didn't just need to stall Rowena; she had to find a way to keep Vivienne quiet too.

Mina fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly. "Can you pretend you don't know anything about this? As long as you agree, I'll do whatever you want."

As soon as the words left her mouth, the green label hovering above her head expanded slightly.

Nothing Mina said right now would surprise Vivienne. After all, Mina wasn't Aurelia Ravenshire. She didn't even realize how out of character she was acting; at most, she just felt pathetic and ashamed.

"I know you probably look down on me right now. But I really don't want to lose everything I have. I'm scared. I'm terrified I wouldn't survive going back to that miserable life. If you just promise to keep my secret, I'll do whatever you ask."

One wrong step, and there was no turning back.

Vivienne already knew the cause and effect. As far as she was concerned, she was currently standing at the finish line of Mina's life. If she intervened now, Mina's trajectory would change entirely.

Likewise, if she chose to ignore it, Mina would be trapped in a lifetime of manipulation.

The power of the Drama Plot gave her authority bordering on a creator god.

"What about me, then?" Vivienne asked. "You paid me fifty grand to watch a good show, and now you're trying to bribe me. Do you want to fight, or do you want to back down?"

Mina froze, looking up at Vivienne.

"You know?"

Vivienne nodded. Of course she knew. Right at that moment, the 'Justice' label above Mina's head was slowly expanding, nearly overtaking her third-tier 'Malicious' label.

Mina stayed silent, looking down at the blade in her hands.

After receiving Rowena's threat, she had immediately spiraled into a battle with herself. Everyone was selfish; everyone had things they were afraid to lose. She was no exception.

She wanted to double down on the mistake and keep stealing someone else's life, yet she couldn't remain entirely heartless. She loved the Blackthornes. Because she loved them, she couldn't bear to leave, and because she loved them, she didn't want the people she cared about to be separated from their true flesh and blood.

But she knew herself. She was narrow-minded, selfish, and even a little mean. The moment that woman said a few threatening words, she knew she would waver. To cut off her own escape route, she had made a bold decision: she voluntarily invited a supervisor.

This supervisor had to be someone unafraid of the Blackthorne family's power, unafraid of her retaliation, and completely immune to her bribes or threats. They needed a sense of justice, but also the ruthlessness to act.

At first, she had thought of Sophia. But Sophia was too soft-spoken and too close a friend to meet the criteria. After much agonizing, she had chosen Vivienne.

So, the moment she transferred that massive sum of fifty grand, she had essentially burned her own bridges.

Vivienne smiled, stood up, and wrapped her hand over Mina's, turning her palm so the blade pointed outward.

"Don't be nervous, you little gutter snipe. Take a gamble—it might not be a dead end after all."
