Chapter 42
But he never thought that the drug would be used on him, let alone his affair with Emma being exposed.
Emma was the nanny from last night.
He had been keeping it a secret very carefully, nobody knew about it.
But after the incident last night, the whole thing was exposed by the media. He couldn’t cover it up anymore, and the most embarrassing part was, Octavia had a paternity test done to confirm that they were father and son, and then she asked for a divorce and demanded
compensation.
Now, Octavia’s entire family had come to the Hawthorn family, demanding an explanation from him.
He was really stressed out. He had no choice but to sneak out and find Vivienne.
“Anyway, I don’t care. It’s all because of Vivienne, Octavia wants a divorce. Vivienne has to explain to me, otherwise, if I’m not living a peaceful life, your family won’t be either.” Joseph
looked fearless.
“You!” Dorian was shocked by his nonsense, not knowing what to say for a while.
Vivienne scoffed, “What do you want me to explain to you?”
“Of course it’s…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Vivienne cut him off, “You want me to say that you didn’t cheat on your wife, didn’t have an illegitimate child, or didn’t bring your mistress into the Hawthorn family?”
“I…” Joseph was left red-faced and speechless by Vivienne’s words.
“Joseph! You planned everything so perfectly, wanting Octavia to maintain your dignity and your mistress to enjoy the treatment of your wife, do you think Octavia is a fool?”
The trending topic about Joseph’s personal affairs wasn’t leaked by her, she wouldn’t stoop to do such a thing.
“You bitch! I’m your elder, how dare you speak to me like that!” Joseph couldn’t refute Vivienne’s words and was so embarrassed that he became angry.
“I don’t just dare to speak to you like this, I dare to give you aphrodisiacs again!” Vivienne looked at him coldly, her voice icy, “Want to try again?”
“You!” Joseph pointed at Vivienne, “It was you! It was you who drugged me with aphrodisiacs, you bitch!”
With that, he raised his hand to hit Vivienne, but suddenly, he fell to the ground.
He fell on his butt and tried to get up, but he had no strength.
He glared at Vivienne and gritted his teeth, “What have you done to me?”
Dorian and Cordelia were both stunned by the scene.
They never thought that Vivienne had really drugged him with aphrodisiacs.
What shocked them even more was that when Joseph was about to hit Vivienne, Dorian instinctively wanted to protect Vivienne, but then he saw Joseph collapse without any warning.
Vivienne clearly didn’t do anything, she didn’t even move.
This was too strange!
Did Vivienne do it?
Vivienne didn’t say anything.
Of course she acted!
Otherwise, how could she have slipped the drug to Joseph?
It’s just that she was very quick, so others rarely saw it clearly.
Vivienne squatted down in front of Joseph, looking at him indifferently, “I don’t like repaying hatred with kindness, I prefer immediate revenge. Joseph, when I was five, you tried to rape my mom in her room, have you forgotten about that after just over a decade?”
“WHAT?!” Dorian was shocked and quickly went over to ask anxiously, “Vivienne, is that true? Bro…”
Joseph also looked shocked, he never expected Vivienne to know about that incident.
Vivienne snorted, looking down at Joseph, “If Octavia hadn’t shown up, you would’ve had your way, right?”
Back in the day, her mother was living with the Hawthorn family for some reason. Her mom kept her skills under wraps. She was handy and knew medical stuff, but the Hawthorns figured she was just some country bumpkin who couldn’t do anything.
So when Joseph started getting fresh with her, she just tried to dodge him.
Truth be told, nobody knew that if Joseph hadn’t stopped, her mom would’ve made him die!
And, nobody knew who pulled this off.
Joseph should be most thankful that Octavia came along just then and saved his life. Of course, Octavia didn’t see that scene.
“You!” Joseph’s mouth fell open, his face pale with shock, “How did you know?”
Vivienne graced him with a bright, dazzling smile, “I was just outside the door!”
Even though she was smiling, it still sent chills down your spine!
