Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 174

Vivienne naturally refused to bow her head and apologize to Quinn. "Dante, I didn't do it. Quinn is just trying to force me into submission."

"You don't have to apologize. Those three dresses are still upstairs anyway. I really don't mind bringing them down later and letting all the guests see just how impressive your handiwork is."

Quinn's tone was unyielding, showing zero intention of backing down.

She made it crystal clear that if Vivienne didn't apologize today, she would rip away her disguise in front of the entire party.

Vivienne's face turned deathly pale as she bit her lip hard.

She hated the idea of apologizing.

But if what she did was exposed to everyone, it would completely destroy the innocent persona she had painstakingly maintained for years.

Quinn was driving her into an absolute corner.

Mrs. Hayes was just about to speak up and suppress the conflict again when chaos suddenly erupted nearby.

A waiter slipped, his tray tilting violently to the side and crashing straight into the towering, multi-tiered champagne pyramid.

A deafening crash echoed through the room.

The sound of shattering glass followed instantly.

Caught off guard, the entire champagne tower collapsed like a violent flood rushing toward them.

Crystal glasses shattered and exploded outward, champagne splashing everywhere as jagged shards of glass flew through the air like razor blades.

Mrs. Hayes and Yasmine were standing further away and hurriedly jumped back, barely dodging the flying shrapnel.

But not everyone was so lucky. The few standing closest simply didn't have time to evade.

Dante's very first instinct was Quinn and their child.

But before he could even lunge forward, a slender figure threw herself at him, exposing her own back entirely to the impending danger.

Then, he heard Vivienne cry out in agony.

Vivienne was wearing a backless gown tonight, leaving her entire back exposed and unprotected.

The sharp shards of glass slashed violently across her luminous skin, instantly tearing several deep gashes. Crimson blood rapidly oozed down her back in a gruesome, terrifying display.

"Ah!" Vivienne screamed.
