The Stand-In Who Burned the Script novel Chapter 517

Did those ordinary girls who married rich men really live happily ever after?

Not necessarily.

Dominic understood this logic perfectly well, but according to his own investigations, Silas Sterling was unusually generous when it came to Vivian!

"So, what you're saying is, you refuse to pay?"

His cold, demanding tone made him sound exactly like a ruthless loan shark.

Vivian's eyebrows twitched slightly. She smirked. "Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying."

As soon as the words left her mouth, a dense, turbulent storm brewed in Dominic's eyes. He looked like he was struggling with a heavy internal conflict.

A moment passed, though it felt like an eternity.

Vivian casually lowered her gaze.

"Don't even try using any other dirty tricks to get cash out of me. I don't have it, and I wouldn't give it to you if I did. Now that I have my own family and my own career, do you honestly think there's anything left in this world that you could use against me?"

"What about the truth behind your mother's death?!"

Dominic finally snapped, his bloodshot eyes locking onto her like a predator.

"Give me 1.5 billion dollars, and I'll tell you the real reason she died!"

Vivian didn't speak, but her fingernails dug so viciously into her palms that they nearly pierced her skin. It was real... It was actually real!

That old bastard actually dared to use this as leverage to extort her!

"Fine."

The word burst through her gritted teeth, the muscles in her jaw twitching violently. "Give me the proof, and I'll get you the 1.5 billion."

In the end, not a single bite of food was eaten.

Dominic agreed to hand over the evidence in exactly one week, giving her seven days to liquidate the funds.

Being blackmailed for a billion dollars by her own biological father—she was probably the only person on earth dealing with such insanity.

Even after she got back into her car, Vivian felt a freezing chill seeping into her bones.
