Chapter 486

A few days later, Vivian Bennett returned to the country with Liam Sullivan.

She had thought leaving Country M would free her from the nightmares.

But even back in familiar surroundings, the terrifying dreams still haunted her.

Liam was heartbroken by her poor condition and insisted she quit her job to rest at home.

Vivian, however, was determined to return to work.

She refused to wallow in anxiety and idleness.

On her first day back, she accompanied her department manager, Thomas Carter, to meet an important client.

The meeting started smoothly enough.

Suddenly, the client lost control and grabbed Vivian's hair violently.

"You bitch! Why aren't you dead yet?"

A harsh slap struck her face.

The bodyguards arranged by Liam rushed forward immediately.

The client's entourage also closed in.

The situation quickly descended into chaos.

Thomas called the police at once.

Order was only restored after the police arrived.

The client who had attacked her was taken away in a police car.

Ryan Johnson broke into a cold sweat when he received the report.

He braced himself and knocked on the CEO's office door.

"Mr. Sullivan, there was an incident during Miss Bennett's client meeting."

Liam stood up instantly, his face dark and terrifying.

The thought of Vivian being wronged made his heart ache sharply.

Ryan secretly regretted not arranging tighter security.

He deliberately omitted the specific details about Vivian being struck.

Liam was already striding out of his office.

By the time Ryan reached the parking lot, he only saw the sports car's taillights disappearing rapidly.

Liam sped all the way to the hotel.

Seeing Vivian's swollen cheek and disheveled hair, a frightening chill rose in his eyes.

The menacing aura around him made everyone present shudder.

The responsible bodyguard approached nervously to apologize.

"Boss, we failed in our duty."

Liam gave him a cold glance.

"Don't come back tomorrow."

The bodyguard wanted to explain, but Liam's glare silenced him immediately.

Liam quickly walked to Vivian and pulled her trembling body into a tight embrace.

Feeling her fear, his heart wrenched painfully.

Vivian fell into the warm embrace in a daze, unsure if it was reality or another dream.
