Chapter 546

Liam Sullivan let out a derisive snort.

"Your cousin truly won't give up until she hits rock bottom."

He reached out and gently ruffled Vivian Bennett's soft hair.

"Let her be."

"She'll regret it one day."

He understood Vivian's feelings all too well.

Only when hurt by someone you care about.

Do you cry so heartbreakingly.

He had tasted that bitterness far too many times.

Betrayal by family cuts the deepest.

"She made you sad."

Liam's voice was low, simmering with anger.

Making his woman cry.

Even if it was her cousin, it was unacceptable.

Vivian quickly grabbed his hand.

"Don't blame her."

"She's just soft-hearted."

"She can't see through that scumbag's true nature."

"Then let her learn the hard way."

Liam snorted coldly.

"If Jason Harper truly loved your cousin."

"He wouldn't have cheated in the first place."

"And he certainly wouldn't force her to cut ties with you now."

"He has nothing but ill intentions."

Perhaps this was for the best.

With Grace Harper moving back to the Harper household.

She wouldn't take up so much of Vivian's time anymore.

They could have more time for just the two of them.

"Cousin thinks I'm too controlling."

Vivian's eyes dimmed.

"She said I want to control her life."

"Did I really do something wrong?"

Liam lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.

"Silly girl."

"Don't doubt yourself."

"Your cousin has been a housewife for too long."

"She has no idea how treacherous people can be."

"She's still living in a fantasy from the past."

"The more you help her, the less she'll grow."

"Let her fall this time."

"Only when it hurts will she understand who's right and who's wrong."

Vivian nodded softly.

She always felt a sense of guilt toward her cousin.

Always wanting to make up for something.

Perhaps this was truly an opportunity.

A chance to force her cousin to face reality.

"As for the Harper family."

Vivian's gaze suddenly turned icy.

"Don't hold back because of my cousin."

"Keep the pressure on."

"I want their true colors to show as soon as possible."

"Alright."

Liam agreed without hesitation.

He actually wanted Grace to suffer a bit more.

But he knew Vivian would never allow it.

"You came back really early today."

Vivian pulled back from his embrace.

Her eyes fell on his outfit.

The corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

"But this getup..."

Liam's eyes lit up.

"Is it a pleasant surprise?"

"Are you touched?"

Vivian struggled to hold back her laughter.

She gave him a thumbs-up.

"Very stylish."

"Couldn't find a chef this handsome anywhere else in the world."

"But do you actually know how to cook?"

The presentation was perfect.

She just worried the final product would be a disaster.

"Underestimating me?"

Liam raised an eyebrow.

"Haven't I cooked for you before?"

He pulled her toward the dining table.

"Your Majesty."

"Would you grace me by tasting this humble servant's labor of love?"
