Chapter 19 Vivian stared at Vivian's face - so noble , so cool , so impossibly beautiful . A slow , dangerous smile spread across Vivian's own lips . She strode forward , and then - two sharp slaps , one for each of Linda's checks . Linda was stunned into silence . She couldn't believe it . The little tramp had actually hit her . " Vivian , you dare to hit me ? " she screamed . " What's wrong ? " Vivian spat . " Your mouth is filthy , Linda . And so are you . A shameless , disgusting , morally bankrupt woman . " How dare you speak to me like that ! " Linda was furious , but she could do nothing . " Excellent . " Sienna crossed her arms , a flicker of amusement in her eyes , then she turned to the security team . " The rest of you will collect the remainder of the debt on my sister's behalf . " One of the guards stepped forward and delivered a rapid series of slaps to Linda's face . She didn't even have time to scream before her face swelled up like a balloon , a symphony of throbbing pain . " And you , " Sienna said , turning to the maids Linda had hired , the ones who had stood by and watched Vivian's breakdown . " You're all fired . " They looked pleadingly at Linda , who could only glare back through her swollen eyes , speechless with rage . " On what grounds ? " Linda fought back . " They work for me ! Sienna , your father and I are a legally married couple ! " " A couple ? " Sienna laughed . " A couple needs a marriage certificate . Did you ever get one ? " Linda's face went pale . Sienna knew they wouldn't have . Marrying Linda would have required Aiden to relinquish his shares in the Hart Corporation , and he was far too greedy for that . Selina had been brilliant . Even in death , she had ensured her deadbeat husband couldn't use her money to marry another woman . Just then , Aiden burst back in , dragging a large , balding man behind him . " What's the rush ? Why'd you drag me to your house ? " the man grumbled . The moment Vivian saw him , the blood drained from her face , the old wounds tearing open anew . Linda , however , smirked . Aiden was panting , his face a mask of fury . No matter how flawed Vivian was , she was still his daughter . " Kevin , you bastard ! " he roared . " I considered you a friend , and you assaulted my daughter ! " Kevin Wagner feigned confusion . " What are you talking about , Aiden ? I don't understand . " " Don't play dumb with me ! Nine years ago , I invited you to my home as a guest , and you attacked my daughter ! " Aiden snapped . " Do you want to die ? " Kevin's face stiffened . He saw Vivian and it all came back to him . He realized they were digging up old dirt . But it was so long ago . " I don't know what you're talking about , " he blustered . " You need proof to make accusations like that , Aiden . What proof do you have ? " Sienna put a comforting arm around Vivian . " It's okay . Let's show them the proof and send him to prison , shall we ? " Vivian sniffled and nodded , her voice ringing with conviction . " I have proof ." 1/3 7:38 pm DD ISDD Chapter 19 All the cameras in the house had been removed back then , but the one in her room had remained . She had kept the evidence for nine long years , knowing her father wouldn't believe her , that Linda would just talk her way out of it . ( +20 ) " You brat , that was years ago ! You're talking nonsense ! " Kevin's face paled . He then turned to Aiden , " Keep her in line , Aiden ! " Crash ! Sienna picked up a teapot from a nearby table and smashed it over his head . Blood instantly matted his hair . With a scream , Linda staggered back , trembling at the sight of the blood . Sienna tossed the broken porcelain aside . " You will pay for this ." she hissed . Painfully , Kevin stared at her in terror , his hands flying to his bleeding head . He saw the ghost of Selina . Just then , the door bell rang . It was the police . " We received a report of an assault , " a police officer said , stepping into the room . " Mr. Wagner , you're under arrest for the violent assault of a minor . Come with us . " As they cuffed him , Kevin struggled . " On what grounds ? What proof do you have ? " " We have video surveillance of the crime , " the officer stated flatly . " If you resist further , we will be forced to use non - lethal force . " Vivian turned to Sienna , her eyes wide with disbelief . " Sienna , how did you get the video ? " She thought she had kept that video hidden so carefully . Sienna just smiled and ruffled her hair . " Because I'm your sister ." The previous night , after Vivian's confession , she had immediately sent Lana to investigate . There was no physical evidence , but Sienna remembered the camera in Vivian's room . She had Lana track any packages Vivian might have mailed , and sure enough , they found a record of a video file sent to a secure storage facility nine years ago . Vivian nodded , a feeling of absolute safety washing over her . The secrets that had poisoned her for years were finally out in the open . She looked at her sister , who seemed to radiate a light that chased away all shadows . " Miss Sienna , Miss Vivian , " the chef announced . " Dinner is served . " Linda couldn't believe it - there was evidence . Fury burned in her chest . Aiden , meanwhile , looked at Vivian , his face heavy with guilt . A sixteen - year - old girl … how could he have been so blind ? He remembered her trying to tell him , and yet he'd slapped her , called her a liar , accused her of framing an innocent man . He had believed Linda's silver - tongued lies . The truth was more horrific than he could have imagined . His gaze toward Linda hardened . When she tried to take his arm , he brushed her off and walked away . Linda's expression darkened . ' Sienna , you think a few small wins will break me ? Dream on , ' she vowed silently . Soon , it was dinner time . But at the dinner table , not a single dish was to Linda's liking . " Who cooked this ? " Linda demanded . " Why didn't you follow my menu ? " But no one answered . The staff ignored her completely . Aiden had no nerve to reply as well . He handed Vivian a piece of bread , guilt written all over his face . If he had shown her even a fraction of this concern nine years ago , perhaps she wouldn't be the broken girl she was today . 2/3 7:38 pm S D Chapter 19 Vivian still took the bread . Bit into it without a word . The three of them ate in comfortable silence , leaving Linda to fume . Sienna , catching her venomous glare out of the corner of her eye , gave a quiet order . " It seems this meal is not to Ms. Lambert's taste . We wouldn't want to inconvenience her . " Two guards appeared , grabbed Linda by the arms , and threw her out the front door , ignoring her screams and protests . Aiden opened his mouth to protest , but then thought better of it and returned to his meal . AD
