But they weren't in Cerulion; this was Alden City.
Inside the CEO's office at The Glenn Group, Theodore stood quietly before the massive floor-to-ceiling window. He looked at Raymond, a cold glint flashing in his dark eyes.
He lowered his gaze slightly and said in a calm tone, “He does need to pay a price.”
Raymond gave Theodore a strange look.
Theodore looked up, let out a soft laugh, and took a step forward to face Raymond.
He leaned in close and whispered something in Raymond's ear.
Raymond looked Theodore up and down.
But beyond the man's placid exterior, he couldn't see a thing.
“I'll think about it,” Raymond finally said, turning to leave.
Theodore watched his back calmly, saying nothing.

The peaceful days in Alden City felt eerie to the online onlookers. After several days of quiet, Vivienne suddenly posted an update.
She was the first among the group to post anything in days!
But her update wasn't an apology to Emilia or an explanation for the copyright infringement.
She simply announced the relaunch of the Ultra-Luxury Villa Floral Series.
The post immediately got dragged on social media.
“Does Vivienne have any shame?!”
“Right? Didn't she say it was suspended? I guess she's done pretending?”
“Vivi's Whispers has been canceled everywhere. She probably thinks that’s a lost cause, so she’s back to this!”
“Where is she planning to stream this time? Last time it was Emilia’s marital home. Is she going to leech off Emilia again? So disgusting!”
***
In an instant, the hashtag #ShamelessVivienne exploded.
Emilia soon heard the news as well.
She was puzzled by Vivienne's actions.
She didn't understand what Vivienne was trying to accomplish.
Could she turn the situation around with donations from a single live stream?
Was that even possible?
