The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 105

Vivica took out her phone and pulled up the security camera footage she had given to the police.

"I did it to get this," she said, handing the phone to him while explaining her reasoning. "Now we have evidence of his infidelity, his domestic violence, and his refusal to pay for our son’s medical bills, which could be considered child abandonment. I figured with all of this, our chances of winning the case would be much higher."

Joseph took the phone, his face a grim mask as he watched the few minutes of footage. The video showed Vivica desperately clinging to the doorknob, trying to keep them in. When the door was finally yanked open, she turned to run, but Fletcher caught her, grabbing her by the hair and slamming her head against the wall. The sickening thud was enough to make one’s skin crawl, and the pain on Vivica’s face was impossible to miss. Then Riley joined in, helping Fletcher overpower Vivica and wrestle the phone from her grasp.

Joseph couldn't even finish the video before a surge of unfamiliar anger rose in his chest. He looked up at her and demanded, "Do you not trust my abilities?"

Vivica had expected him to praise her for being clever. The question caught her completely off guard. She blinked, trying to explain. "Of course not. Your professional skills are undeniable."

"Then why would you put yourself in danger like that?"

"I…"

Vivica’s mouth hung open, but she couldn’t find the words to respond.

Roderic sensed that something was very wrong with his boss today. He could understand Joseph being more invested in Vivica's case for the sake of the boy, but this level of concern seemed to have crossed a professional boundary. If he didn't know any better, he'd think his boss had feelings for her. Because he was being so protective.
