Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 840

Preston shook his head. "No. You only have one choice. You have to kill the Ravenshire."

"Why?" Kael demanded.

"Because if you try to ally with the mastermind, Vivienne will use it as the perfect excuse to annihilate both of you."

Kael crossed his arms, defensive. "Aren't you giving her a little too much credit? If she's so brilliant, why doesn't she even know who's trying to kill her?"

"Perhaps she already does," Josslyn suggested softly. "Her condition was that we kill the mastermind. Vivienne isn't naturally bloodthirsty. Under what circumstances would she so casually order a hit?"

Kael froze. When the cards were entirely on the table.

Josslyn took another sip of wine. "Or maybe she knows exactly who wants her dead, but because of the Ravenshire family's internal politics, she can't strike them herself. So, she took this massive detour to dump the problem in your lap."

"It's a textbook execution by proxy. Even if someone investigates this later, her hands are completely clean."

Kael refused to accept defeat. "Do I look like an idiot? If she tries to take me down, I'll expose her part in this!"

"And she'll expose your entire operation," Preston countered smoothly. "You're your father's only heir. He's counting on you to take his seat in Congress. If this blows up, your political career is over before it begins. Trading an adopted Ravenshire daughter for the sole heir of the Garland family? I'd say that's a brilliant trade for her."

"..." Kael's stubborn resistance shattered entirely. He collapsed into the sofa, defeated.

"I can't accept this. She's just bullying me! God damn it, when did that little lunatic get so smart?!"

Preston smiled. Truth be told, he was incredibly thrilled by today's turn of events.

He had thought she was just a bit more entertaining than the average socialite. He never expected her to be this ruthless. The Ravenshires treated her like royalty, yet she was willing to orchestrate a hit within their ranks without blinking. Watching her methodically set her trap was utterly intoxicating.

Vivienne had no idea her every motive had just been surgically dissected. After leaving the Denley Equestrian Club, she headed straight for Crown Hospital.
