Chapter 26 " Mr. Wood , it's quitting time . I'm going to head out , " Vivian said , glancing at the clock . " Of course , of course ! " Richard said , practically tripping over himself to be helpful . " Here , let me give you a ride . You're my great benefactor !" Vivian felt a little strange . Ever since she'd come out with the signed contract , Richard had been treating her with an odd mixture of reverence and … fear . " No , thank you . I can just get a cab . " She politely declined . He was being too weird . It must have been the excitement of the deal . " Miss Enna , Miss Vivian has left , " seeing Vivian getting into a taxi from her window , Lana reported to Sienna . " Also , the main Quinn family wants to schedule a meeting to discuss the partnership . Sophie has been trying to find me , likely to try and get an introduction to you and hijack the deal for her own family . " Sophie was truly shameless , thought Lana . The main Quinn family , one of the five major enterprises in Vallarís , had always been generous to their junior branch . SIE's partnership was with the main corporation , who had offered Sophie's family a small piece of the pie out of familial loyalty . But Sophie , not content with her share , was trying to steal the whole thing . She had no idea of the scale of the project . Even if Sienna handed her the deal on a silver platter , her small company wouldn't be able to handle it . Her ambition far outstripped her ability . " She wants to meet you ? " Sienna said , her voice a frozen calm as she watched a bird land on the window ledge . " Then give her the opportunity . " Lana understood immediately . " Yes , Miss Enna . And the main Quinn family ? " Sienna stood up . " When the dust settles , they'll show their true colors . " " Understood , " Lana nodded . Just then , a text from Vivian popped up on Sienna's phone . She picked it up immediately to check the message . [ Sienna , I got a promotion ! I'm the director of my company now . I'm heading back to the apartment to pack some things , then I'll come home . I bought you your favorite blueberry cake . ] A rare , genuine smile touched Sienna's lips , warming her cool eyes , She quickly texted her back : [ Good . I might be late . I'll have Elisa prepare a full banquet . ] Putting away her phone , Vivian happily carried the custom - made blueberry cake back to her old apartment building . But as she started up the stairs , she saw Mason waiting for her . Her good mood evaporated instantly , replaced by a wave of disgust . She walked towards him , voice dripping with disdain . " What are you doing here ? " Seeing Vivian dressing in a smart white blazer and pink skirt , her hair in a bun , Mason was struck by how much she had changed . She was more confident , more elegant , more attractive . But then he remembered that she had blocked his number , and his anger flared immediately . " Vivian , you dare to block me ? " he roared . " Do you know how many times I tried to call you ? I give you an inch , and you take a mile ! You were just waiting for me to come groveling , weren't you ? Now I'm here , apologizing . Are you satisfied now ? " He had only found out he was blocked after his calls and texts went unanswered . For her sake , for Chloe's sake , he was willing to humble himself , to give her an out . Vivian just laughed . " Mason , a game ? You think you're worthy of playing games with me ? I told you , we are over . Now get lost . " Mason had expected her to melt , to fall into his arms , weeping with gratitude . Not this . 1/2 ( +28 Chapter 26 " Vivian , how long are you going to keep this up ? " Mason lost his patience . " I don't have time for your drama . Chloe needs your blood . Let's go to the hospital . Now . " Vivian stared at him , aghast . " Are you insane ? I told you we're done , and you still want me to be your girlfriend's personal blood bag ? Dream on , you scumbag " Mason was momentarily stunned by her insult . " Did your sister put you up to this ? I knew that woman was trouble = " Before he could finish , Vivian's hand landed on his face , cutting him off . Her face was a thundercloud of rage , her eyes blazing with a terrifying , unfamiliar light . It actually scared him . " If you say one more word about my sister , " she hissed , " I will rip your mouth off ." Mason shut up . He understood now . Sienna was her trigger . " Fine , " he said , changing tactics . " I won't mention her . But you are coming with me to the hospital . Chloe needs blood . If you defy me , I won't be so nice . " Vivian didn't flinch . She glared at him and turned to leave , but Mason grabbed her arm firmly . " You're coming with me ," he demanded . " Let go of me , Mason ! " Vivian protested . " Are you crazy ? I'm not going ! " But the strength difference was too great . Without more words , he dragged her towards his car , kicking the blueberry cake out of her hands and threw her into the car . Terrifying , Vivian pulled out her phone to call for help, but Mason snatched it and threw it out the window . " Mason , you're crazy ! " she screamed , her fists clenched . " This is kidnapping . I'm going to have you arrested ! " " Go ahead , " Mason said nonchalantly . " What are the police going to do ? We're a couple having a lovers ' spat . It's normal . I've already apologized , so you should know when to quit . " Vivian trembled with rage , her eyes burning with hatred . " Mason , we have broken up . You and Chloe can live or die for all I care . It has nothing to do with me . " A flicker of doubt crossing Mason's mind . This had to be another one of her games , he thought . This was another test . " Vivian , " he said , his patience wearing thin , " I told you , Chloe saved my life . Even if we get married , I will never abandon her . So be a good girl . I'll give you whatever you want . You will still be the Mrs. Quinn . "
