At the hotel, Vivian took in the shabby decor and the rundown atmosphere. With Lawrence gazing at her with that lovesick look, she just felt sick to her stomach. 

Especially when Lawrence started snorting and pushing against her, she couldn’t hold it in anymore and gagged. 

Lawrence frowned at her strange reaction. “Vivian, what’s wrong?” 

Vivian patted her chest, trying to calm herself down. “I’ve been so wrapped up in my research lately that I barely have time to eat. My stomach’s really acting up.” 

Hearing that, Lawrence’s expression immediately softened. 

He gently patted her back. “I’ll take you to the hospital for a check–up later. I’m not always around, so you need to take care of yourself, no matter how busy you are. Otherwise, it’ll break my heart.” 

Hearing that, the nausea Vivian had just managed to push down hit her all over again. 

She really had overestimated herself. 

She kept telling herself that as long as revenge came first, she could put up with him, no matter how much she hated him. 

But when she heard Lawrence’s sickening sweet talk, she just couldn’t take it anymore. 

Just being close to Lawrence made her skin crawl with disgust. 

Vivian took a deep breath, forcing herself to endure the nausea. She had to hold it together. No way could she let Lawrence see how much she was struggling. 

“I’ll just pop some meds for my stomach. The hospital’s too much trouble. After all these years of toughing it out, I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel,” she said. 

Lawrence let out a heavy sigh. “All these years, seeing you all lovey–dovey with someone else… It tore me up inside.” 

He leaned in closer, loosening his tie as he moved toward Vivian. 

Vivian wrapped her arms around him, playing along. 

But when he tried to undress her, Vivian suddenly shoved him away. 

Lawrence’s face instantly darkened. “Seriously, what is it now?” 

Back then, whenever Vivian and Lawrence met up, she was always the eager one, barely able to wait to get things started. 

She said she worried about Lily coming back during the day, but now, even here in the hotel, she kept turning him down again and again. 

Instead, Vivian slid the toys from the nightstand over to him. “Wouldn’t it be a waste to just let these sit here unused?” 

Lawrence’s eyes burned with desire as he stared at the toys, and he could feel his body responding even more intensely. 

Honestly, Vivian was already in her fifties. She kept herself in great shape, but that youthful allure was long gone. 

Normally, he could control himself around her.

But right now, he just couldn’t help himself. Vivian was driving him crazy. 

Lawrence glanced up at Vivian, and for some reason, she seemed weirdly captivating to him. 

Vivian immediately caught the burning desire in Lawrence’s eyes. 

She gave a cold, mocking laugh.

For tonight, she’d spent a fortune on a rare aphrodisiac, applying it through her navel. Now, her body was releasing a subtle, alluring fragrance that would make any man lose control. 

Lawrence grabbed Vivian’s hand with one and slipped the other around her waist, sitting her down on his lap. “Vivian, I can’t hold back anymore. Tonight, I’m going to make it up to you for all these lost years.” 

Vivian felt completely sick inside, but there was nothing she could do about it. 

For the sake of her plan, she just had to go all in and pretend to want it with Lawrence. 

Otherwise, Lawrence would definitely get suspicious. 

They were locked in a heated kiss. 

ust as Lawrence was about to take things to the next level, with a deafening bang, the door was slammed open from outside. 

Vivian was overjoyed. ‘Finally,’ she thought to herself. 

What are you two doing?” Rylie snapped, her eyes wide with shock and fury as she barged in. 

The guy who always claimed he loved me is sneaking around with another woman? And he’s into all this kinky stuff? Seriously?‘ Rylie fumed, her thoughts racing. 

Trying to act like some wild college kid and using toys and everything? Pathetic‘ 

Rylie totally lost it at the sight of all those toys. She yelled, “Lawrence, are you even human? After everything I’ve done for you, having your kids and all, this is how you treat me?” 

Let’s see which shameless woman dares to seduce you!” Rylie snapped, reaching out to grab Vivian. 

Vivian’s back was to Rylie, so Rylie couldn’t see who Lawrence was messing around with. 

Lawrence hadn’t expected Rylie to barge in like this. 

Just as Rylie lunged to grab Vivian’s hair, Lawrence caught her wrist. “Why are you here?” 

At the same time, he quickly pulled the blanket over Vivian’s head. 

Rylie was about to go ballistic. 

Someone had sent her a tip, but she thought it was just gossip. 

She finally saw Lawrence swaggering into the hotel with some woman clinging to his side. 

And now, there he was, stark naked, practically on top of some woman. 

But as soon as he spotted her, Lawrence scrambled to cover up the woman beneath him.

Who am I to him, really? Rylie thought. All those things Lawrence said to me… Did any of it ever mean a damn thing” 

“Messing around behind my back and you’ve got the guts to ask why I’m here?” Rylie snapped, her whole body shaking with fury 

Lawrence bent down, voice low and urgent. “Let me handle this mess. Just stay under the blanket and whatever happens, don’t make a sound” 

The last thing he needed was for Rylie to barge in and throw a wrench in everything he’d set up. 

The next second, he snatched his pants off the floor, pulled them on, and stormed straight at Rylie. 

His gaze was sharp and cold as he stared her down. “Didn’t I tell you to stick to your own role and stay out of my affairs?” 

Rylie started, “Lawrence, 1- 

Lawrence didn’t even let her finish before he smacked her hard across the face. 

His eyes were vicious. “Get out.” 

Rylie was left reeling, staring at Lawrence in utter disbelief. “You hit me?” 

A flicker of emotion crossed Lawrence’s eyes. He couldn’t pretend Rylie didn’t mean anything to him, but under no circumstances could he let Vivian see her. 

If Vivian caught sight of Rylie, she’d go completely off the rails. 

He wasn’t about to let anyone mess up his plan. 

Lawrence seized Rylie by the throat, his eyes glinting with a dangerous red, his expression cold and vicious. “Get back! Don’t make me kill you.” 

Rylie was completely stunned, staring at Lawrence in disbelief. 

She never imagined, not even in her worst nightmares, that the man she’d loved all her life and had children with would ever say he wanted to kill her. 

Just for another woman, he didn’t care at all about everything they’d been through together. 

Then what did all those years mean?‘ she thought, feeling utterly betrayed. 

Rylie shoved Lawrence away, letting out a crazed laugh. “Kill me? Fine. But if I’m going down, I’m taking someone with me.” 

She rushed over to the bed and yanked the blanket off. 

When she saw Vivian hiding underneath, Rylie was completely floored. “Vivian? Why is it you?” 

She stumbled back, feeling like all the strength had been sucked right out of her. 

All these years, Rylie always strutted around like she was better than Vivian. 

Their mom totally favored her. Even when she snatched Vivian’s boyfriend right out from under her nose, their mother would help her keep it a secret. 

Vivian even had to raise her daughter for her.

That was because she knew Lawrence never gave a damn about Vivian. She was just a pawn to him. 

So every time she saw Vivian getting played for a fool by Lawrence, Rylie always got a wicked kick out of it. 

Who would’ve thought things would end up like this?

Vivian gave Rylie a sideways glance, totally unfazed as she picked up her clothes and started getting dressed. “Shouldn’t I be asking you that? What brings you here?”
