You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 449

Before the trouble of the bug was over, another one came. Vivian stepped back, her face draining of color. She had to leave this awful place as soon as she could.

She stopped after taking one step back.

She could not run away now, or everyone would think that she was guilty.

Besides, Chester could not possibly show proof of his accusations. She would be fine as long as she kept her cool. She would not allow a boy to take her down.

Vivian took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down.

Putting on a surprised expression, she asked, "What are you talking about, Chester? Did my mother do something else that I don't know?"

Chester had already known the truth of the whole matter. When he saw Vivian's skilled acting, he could not help sneering. "I take it you don't know about that either?"

Vivian's pupils narrowed, and a bad feeling started to creep into her heart.

"About what? I don't know anything." She insisted on denying.

Chester glanced around the room, making eye contact with every member of his family who looked completely confused. Jessica stood up and asked with a serious look, "What do you mean, Chester?"

"You haven't told anyone about your divorce, have you?" Chester turned to look at Sam, who was sitting in his wheelchair. "Grandpa had a stroke and fell down that day because somebody brought him bad news. Someone called him and told him that you and Uncle Jason had divorced a long time ago."

"Hmm." Sam let out a muffled sound and looked at Vivian with sharp eyes.

Vivian's scalp tingled under Sam's gaze, but she still stood her ground and kept herself calm and composed.

'It wasn't I who called Sam. Don't panic.

Don't panic,' she repeatedly told herself.

Even if she tried hard to relax herself, terror still slightly obscured her face. If anyone observed her carefully, they would find that she was uncomfortable and scared to death of getting exposed.

Angela looked at Vivian's face and said in a surprisingly cold voice, "It's true that no one knows about Jessica's divorce. She didn't talk about it except when she was at her home. But there was a bug in her necklace, so you knew about it, didn't you?

Vivian, did you call Dad? Did you cause his stroke?" She watched Vivian carefully and waited for her answer.

"No, I didn't," Vivian replied quickly. She did not lie.

"If it wasn't you, then who was it?" Angela kept staring into Vivian's eyes and pushing her to tell the truth, leaving her no time to think.

"It's..." Vivian almost blurted out her doom. As soon as she uttered a word, she quickly corrected herself. "It's not me."

"You were about to mention someone just now. Who was it?" Angela pressed, taking slow, deliberate steps toward Vivian. "Was it Julie? Was it your mother? Was this a conspiracy you and your mother cooked up?"

"No, no." Vivian went back half a step, grievance and fear swirling thickly on her face. "Why are you trying to frame us? We did nothing."

"You did nothing? What about the bug? Julie already admitted it. Why are you still denying it?" Jessica snapped and gritted her teeth. "We can't trust anything that comes out of your mouth now."

Vivian stopped and tried to defend herself with tears in her eyes. "My mother did install the bug and spied on you, but we had nothing to do with the phone call that caused Sam's stroke. Besides, why would we want to hurt him? What do we have to gain from that?"

"I would never trust you again." Jessica walked up to Vivian and slapped her across the face.

The unexpected slap stunned Vivian.

"Why did you hit me?"

She put a hand against her throbbing cheek.
