Chapter 148

Sophia Miller's pupils constricted sharply.

"An illegitimate child?"

"Whose child?"

Isabella Sullivan lowered her voice.

"Isabella Sullivan has a son."

Sophia gasped sharply.

"Is it Liam Sullivan's?"

Vivian Bennett's fingertips trembled slightly.

"The whole company is gossiping about their unusual sibling relationship."

Sophia immediately grasped her hand.

"Let me investigate this."

After finishing their meal, they walked side by side into the boutique.

Vivian was trying on a dress.

Her gaze inadvertently swept past the store's glass window.

Jason Harper's figure flashed by.

A young woman was with him.

"Jason?"

Vivian dropped the clothes and rushed outside.

The hallway was empty.

It felt like she had imagined it.

Sophia chased after her.

"Who did you see?"

Vivian shook her head blankly.

"Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me."

Sophia pulled her back into the store to continue shopping.

......

The first day back from vacation.

Vivian was called into the VP's office immediately after arriving.

Hannah Green slammed a file on the desk.

"You're handling this project."

Vivian silently accepted the contract.

Emily Davis leaned over to look.

She gasped in shock.

"Mr. Richardson? That old pervert?"

Vivian froze.

"You know him?"

Emily stomped her foot anxiously.

"Several female colleagues have been harassed by him before!"

"The VP is deliberately setting you up!"

Vivian's fingertips turned cold.

Another deliberate obstacle.

But she had no other choice.

Inside the private dining room of an upscale restaurant.

Mr. Richardson eyed Vivian with a lecherous gaze.

His oily eyes roamed over her body.

Vivian suppressed her discomfort and raised her glass.

"Mr. Richardson, regarding the contract terms..."

Mr. Richardson suddenly pressed his hand over hers.

"What's the rush, Miss Bennett?"

"Have a few drinks with me first."

His fingers deliberately stroked the back of her hand.

Vivian jerked her hand back.

The wine glass shattered on impact.
