Chapter 28 Yet it was this very man who had once sweet talked her , vowing she was the only one for him and he would love her till death did them part . Looking back now , Vivian wanted to kick her past self , ' How could I have been so damn blind ? Mason ? Reliable ? Responsible ? What a fucking joke . I gave him everything my heart , my soul , my goddamn sanity . Thought he was my knight in shining armor . Turns out I am just his personal clown , a walking blood bank , his fucking doormat . How pathetic ! I'm just a lovesick fool who fell for the oldest trick in the book . " Vivian , are you satisfied now ? Is this what you want ? Now go and give her your blood . " Mason said . Vivian's gaze swept over the two of them , icy with disdain . " Satisfied with what? Marrying you ? Mason , get over yourself . You think you're some kind of catch ? If you want my blood , 100 million . Cash upfront . Then we'll talk . " * 100 million ! Vivian , have you lost your mind ? Why don't you go rob a bank ? Even the Federal Reserve doesn't just cough up that kind of cash . You'll get 100 million when pigs fly . " Before Mason could react , Chloe was the first to explode . She was really pissed off , never expecting Vivian to be so greedy . Vivian's face stayed stone cold , her words just as icy . " Oh , so even you know this could only happen when pigs fly ? " Chloe glared at her , seething with anger . Mason , too , thought Vivian was being utterly unreasonable . The girl who used to jump when he said jump was now giving him hell at every turn . Frustrated , he rubbed his temples and snapped , " Vivian, you're only making me hate you more . Stop this nonsense , okay ? " Vivian barked a laugh , ' God , these two are so pathetic . ' Then she tilted her head , " Cut the crap . If you can't pay up , then shut your mouths . 100 million , plus you begging on your knees , maybe I'll spare a vial . Otherwise , let's see how long Chloe lasts without my blood . " Chloe and Mason gaped , speechless . Then Chloe caught Mason's eyes fixed on Vivian . It rubbed her the wrong way . She bit down hard on her lip , thinking , " This bitch is putting on an act just to get Mason's attention . Pathetic slut . " Just then , Chloe's sister , Lily , barged in . " Vivian , you're finally here ! Hurry up , come with me . We're drawing blood now ! " She reached out to grab Vivian's arm , but Vivian sidestepped . Lily's voice turned shrill at once , " You're not going ? " O Vivian didn't flinch . With her big sister back , she wasn't alone anymore . " That's right . I'm not going . If your ears are just for decoration , I can cut them off and feed them to the dogs . " " How dare you say that to me ! " Lily gaped at the girl who'd once been quiet and obedient . Before , Vivian wouldn't even make a sound when yelled at . But now , she was talking back . Lily was the sort who never let a slight go unpunished . In the blink of an eye , she smacked Vivian right across the face . The loud slap echoed through the air , and the whole hospital room went dead silent .
