Just a few months ago, Edward had brought Vivian's personal maid before everyone.
She was given compensation.. so much that it was enough for her and her entire family to live in comfort for seven generations.
When the maid was brought in, she broke down crying.
She confessed that Vivian had told her to act the part. He had never touched her, not even once. Everything had been a lie.
That was the moment their family truly fell apart.
Elena stopped talking to everyone after that day.
She would only nod when someone asked her something.
No words ever left her mouth. In a way, it was fortunate that she didn't harm herself.
Vined knew she was drowning in guilt. It was her words that had driven Vivian out of the house.
She had even called him the greatest mistake of her life.
And yet, despite all that guilt, Elena couldn't bring herself to apologize to her son….whose fate was still unknown, whether he was alive or dead.
Vined let out a long sigh as he looked ahead.
