Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 471

Chapter 471:

“No personal grudge?” Kyla sneered, as if she had just heard something absurd. “Vivi, don’t fool me. Are you seriously going to pretend you don’t want to surpass Sadie? That you don’t dream of making your studio the most prestigious in Helva?”

Her expression hardened. “And now, you’re telling me to handle it alone? Vivi, do you take me for a fool? What’s the plan—if this backfires, you’ll wash your hands of it and pin the blame on me? Do you think I’m that easy to fool?”

Vivi was momentarily stunned by Kyla’s sudden sharpness. She hadn’t expected the usually gullible Kyla to catch on so quickly.

“Kyla, you misunderstand.” Vivi quickly regained her composure, flashing a warm, reassuring smile. “I would never do that to you. We’re a team, remember? We’re in this together.”

She stepped forward, linking arms with Kyla and leading her to a nearby sofa. “Kyla, I know you’re frustrated. Don’t worry—I’ll take care of everything,” Vivi said soothingly, gently taking the phone from Kyla’s grasp.

“Leave the draft with me. Just sit back and enjoy the show. This time, Sadie won’t recover from the disgrace she’s about to face at the competition.” Kyla’s tense expression finally relaxed. She gave a small nod. “That sounds more like it.”

“Kyla, trust me,” Vivi assured her, patting her chest confidently. “When this is over, we’ll celebrate properly.”

“Alright. It’s a deal!” Kyla grinned.
