Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 200

Chapter 200 Delusions of Grandeur

In the middle of the crowded expo hall, Vivienne stared coldly at Richard.

She couldn't help but recall what Rebecca had told her the last time they met.

Rebecca said the killer wasn't Alistair.

Vivienne didn't believe Rebecca would say that without reason. She wasn't sure if she had overanalyzed it or had acted impulsively, but she'd shared her suspicion with Alistair, speaking from a place of friendship.

She had no idea whether Alistair had taken her words to heart or just brushed them off as a joke, but she'd said what she needed to say, and that was enough.

Now, she couldn't even be bothered to keep up a polite front. "Choose your words carefully. Being an adult means owning what you say and do."

Richard snapped back, "Everyone thinks it's him. What makes you so sure it isn't?"

Vivienne countered, "If public opinion were enough to convict someone, why would we need a legal system at all?"

Not getting the last word, Richard turned on his heel and left in

When he returned to where Theresa had been chatting, he found a very different

scene.

Henry, who had seemed quite taken with Theresa just moments ago, was now deep in conversation with a young woman.

Or rather, the young woman was doing most of the talking, and Henry was listening with full attention, nodding along and clearly engaged.

Theresa had been pushed to the sidelines. She tried to chime in several times but couldn't get a word in edgewise.

The woman stood with her back to them-tall, poised, and graceful, her ponytail sleek and perfectly in place.

Richard instinctively quieted his steps.
