“Are you kidding me? Do you honestly want me to take the blame? You were the one who did everything, you were the mastermind! I was just helping you. And now, you expect me to take the fall for you?”
It was ridiculous.
Did Vivian really think she was that stupid? Or was it because of her had no qualms in throwing her under the bus?
“You’re free to refuse, of course, in which case, we will be taking back the million dollars we gave your parents. Ah, but your father is suffering from a serious illness, isn’t he? I’m pretty sure he needs the money.”
Vivian was unfazed. She had come here with the certainty that Allie would do as she asked.
Allie’s words died in her throat.
It took her moment to compose herself, and then she called her parents to confirm everything Vivian had just said.
Sure enough, the woman was telling the truth.
“Well? Have you come to a decision? Time waits for no one, you know.”
As if to goad Allie, Vivian glanced at her luxury wristwatch and clicked her tongue.
“I understand. When Brandon catches me, I will say that it was all my doing.”
Allie didn’t want to do it, but she had very little choice.
If she wanted money for her father’s treatment, then she would have to comply with Vivian’s instructions.
Fear gnawed at her long after she and Vivian had parted ways. She was terrified of what Brandon might do to her, and suspicious that Vivian had tricked her.
Hence, when she came home that night, Allie packed her luggage and headed straight to the airport. She wanted to leave the city immediately and go somewhere no one knew her.
Unfortunately, Brandon’s men were already waiting for her, and they captured her as soon as she arrived at the airport.
In the visiting room.
Vivian was still trying to soothe Allie.
“Since you’re already here, you need to stay calm. There’s nothing you can do to change anything, anyway.”
Allie shook her head frantically. She clutched Vivian’s hand as tears streamed down her face.
“In the last few days, I’ve witnessed first-hand just how ruthless criminals are.I can’t even imagine what might happen to me if I get locked up for good! You have to get me out of this hellhole!”
But Vivian ignored her pleas. She shook off Allie’s hand, her eyes flashing with disgust.
“Brandon believes that you’re behind everything, right?” Allie sniffed.
“Of course. That’s why I’m here, isn’t it?”
Vivian heaved an inward sigh of relief. Her main purpose for coming here was to make sure that Allie had indeed taken the blame for her.
Now that it was settled, she no longer had any business in this place.
