Chapter 7
Chloe handed Nathaniel a stack of photos–they showed Vivienne with different men abroad. With each one he examined, his expression darkened further.
She thought she’d hidden her activities well. Mrs. Grey was in America–her reach couldn’t extend
overseas.
What Vivienne didn’t know was that Chloe had developed numerous connections abroad over the years, including people who specialized in information gathering.
After the pregnancy test day, Mrs. Grey felt increasingly suspicious and called Chloe, asking her to investigate.
Chloe paid handsomely for these photos. Beyond that, she discovered that when Vivienne initially went abroad, her official reason was anger at Mrs. Grey for trying to match Nathaniel with me. In reality, she had gotten pregnant while cheating on Nathaniel and fled abroad for an abortion, afraic he would discover the truth.
Vivienne couldn’t stand being alone. She was confident Nathaniel wouldn’t forget her–why else would he collect so many kept woman resembling her to make her jealous?
Rather than waiting, she decided to enjoy herself with wealthy men, have her fun, and return to him later. Men were pitiful creatures who valued what they couldn’t have.
She slept with different rich men daily, had over a dozen abortions, and eventually became infertile only then did she grow frightened.
Wealthy families valued their bloodlines. At this rate, she’d never marry into money. So she returned to reconcile with Nathaniel, blaming her infertility on me.
She was confident she could manipulate Nathaniel’s guilt and sympathy to control him for life.
Nathaniel threw the photos to the ground and stared at Vivienne, suddenly laughing–a chilling, unnerving laugh.
“So this is how you ‘stayed faithful“? This is your ‘constant thoughts of me“?”
Exposed, Vivienne abandoned her aggressive stance. She knelt before Nathaniel, clutching his leg and sobbing:

“Nate, I was wrong. I didn’t mean to frame Ruby. I was just afraid you wouldn’t want me. I swear I’ll be a good wife and love you properly. Please forgive me.”
Nathaniel looked coldly at the bodyguards:
“Who told you to stop? Strip that dress off her. If she resists, break her arms and legs. Don’t damage the dress–Ruby will wear it.”
Seconds later, Vivienne’s screams filled the hotel lobby.
Nathaniel gripped her chin, his eyes as cold as if looking at a corpse:
“I always thought I loved you. Now I realize I was just spoiled–used to getting whatever I wanted. When you rejected me, my competitive nature made you a target. I mistook wounded pride for love and hurt the one who truly loved me.”
“You know? When I saw Ruby’s wedding just now, I had a terrible thought–I’d rather she died from her blood disorder than marry someone else. But if she really died, I realized I wouldn’t want to live
either.”
“Your deception doesn’t matter–I blame myself for not understanding my own heart. I deserve this for hurting her. I’ll go apologize to her. But you framed Ruby with your period blood, causing her to lose our child and nearly die–for that, you must pay!”
“Since you enjoy servicing men so much, you’ll go to the South Islands. The bosses there like women like you–infertile, no risk of children. Oh, and I should warn you–it’s dangerous there. Those guys can get rough, and they’re not big fans of protection. Whatever diseases they have…well, I can’t guarantee how long you’ll survive.”
Vivienne shook her head in terror, but before she could speak, bodyguards gagged her and dragged her away.
Recalling his earlier words, Mrs. Grey frowned: “Nathaniel, Ruby is married now. Don’t disturb her.”
Nathaniel smiled obediently: “I understand, Grandma.”
As Chloe escorted Mrs. Grey out, they didn’t notice the madness lurking beneath Nathaniel’s docile expression. He picked up the wedding dress from the floor, then seemed to reconsider and threw it back down, muttering:
“Ruby’s always been fastidious about cleanliness. This is soiled now–she wouldn’t want it. I’ll have a new one made for her. She’ll be my most beautiful bride.”
