Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 320

"I know. Thank you."

What did it matter if he came from a normal background? What did it matter if he liked men? At the very least, for the foreseeable future, they were going to be each other's sanctuary.

The engine purred to life, but Quinn kept her eyes fixed on the passing scenery outside the window.

A trace of helpless resignation edged into her voice.

"Even though I managed to humiliate Vivienne today, reality can be pretty brutal."

"For instance, even with solid proof that she framed me and orchestrated the theft, both the Ambrose and Yates families are pooling their resources. I'm guessing the police will buckle under the pressure and release her soon enough."

"She'll just lay low for a while, and the public will eventually forget."

"Then she'll find some perfect excuse to step back into the limelight—maybe win another award overseas or make a hefty charity donation. It won't take long to scrub her reputation clean."

A mysterious, almost predatory amusement flickered in Raymond's dark eyes.

"Nonsense. We live in a society governed by laws. You have to trust the authorities."

"Who would dare abuse their power like that nowadays?"

(Somewhere across town, Luke Bennett sneezed: *Thanks a lot. Who was the one who just ordered me to abuse my power?*)

Quinn was speechless.

Raymond was just too innocent. He didn't understand how sinister the elite circles could be; he viewed the world through rose-tinted glasses.

The "innocent" Raymond, upon returning to Lunas Crest, immediately retreated to his bedroom.

Slipping back into his ruthless billionaire persona, he made two back-to-back phone calls.

The first was to Luke Bennett, ordering him to keep the pressure on the precinct and ensure Vivienne remained locked up without bail.

The second was to a top-tier law firm in Riverton, commanding them to work through the night compiling evidence to formally sue Vivienne and guarantee she spent a long time reflecting on her mistakes behind bars.

With those loose ends tied, he strolled downstairs, feeling incredibly relaxed.
