Mutual Backstabbing

Vivian clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. 

 

She struggled to steady her trembling voice. "Brother Logan… it's not what you think. I—I acted impulsively. I assumed Lily wouldn't do anything too excessive, so I asked Miss Clark to apologize." 

 

"I should have investigated the matter before speaking. I'm sorry. I'll keep quiet from now on." 

 

Vivian bit her lip, stepping aside with an air of grievance, her eyes red as though the world had wronged her. 

 

Selina observed her melodramatic act, her eyes flickering with mischief. 

 

Playing the victim? Two can play at that game.

 

Feigning dejection, Selina sighed, "Logan, don't blame Miss Cooper. She thought I was just your kept mistress, so it's only natural she looked down on me. After all, the eldest daughter of the Cooper Family wouldn't want to associate with a mistress."
