Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 402

Vivienne's mind raced. Though she was furious, she instantly recognized this as a golden opportunity to salvage her image in Julian's eyes. She needed him to believe that Leo's departure had nothing to do with her mismanagement—that Leo had betrayed the Sinclair Group because Willow had poached him.

But for the maximum impact, the target needed to discover the truth with his own eyes.

Leaning close to Julian, she whispered that she had left something important in the car. Since the parking garage was a short walk away, she asked if he would accompany her.

Julian found the request odd, but assuming she had something confidential to tell him away from the guests, he agreed.

The moment they stepped out of the private dining room, Vivienne began subtly guiding his line of sight toward Willow's table, while pretending to rummage through her designer bag. Once she was certain Julian's eyes had landed on them, she snapped her purse shut. "Alright, let's go."

Julian didn't respond. His entire focus was already locked onto the sight of Willow and Leo sitting just a few tables away.

Vivienne seized her cue. "Julian, what's wrong? Did you see—"

She feigned following his gaze, stopping mid-sentence with a perfectly calculated gasp. "Wait, isn't that Willow? What is she doing here? And if I'm not mistaken... is that Leo sitting across from her?"

She layered on the shock. "I always suspected Leo's sudden resignation from the company had something to do with Willow, but I didn't think it was actually true! She really did poach him!"
