Chapter 814: What Trick Are You Playing Now?

At that moment, the door to their room was flung open by Victor from the outside.

The loud noise startled the middle-aged man, who instinctively turned toward the source of the sound. Luke Gill, blood staining the corner of his mouth, stood with slightly reddened eyes, his expression causing the man's face to darken. Vivienne let out a scream, snapping Victor out of his shock. He hurriedly instructed someone to help Luke Gill up. "Ella Bailey, have you completely lost your mind?! Are you trying to murder your own husband?!" Ella Bailey stared blankly at her own hand, her pupils dilated in disbelief. That shouldn't have happened.

From her observations of Luke Gill in recent times, this man's frail and weak demeanor was clearly faked.

Sure, she might have been a little impulsive earlier, and her movements were heavier than usual, but there was no way it could have caused him to spit blood.

She opened her mouth, her gaze drifting over Luke Gill, who looked pitiful yet possessed a certain ethereal beauty. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly. "Who knew he was so fragile? I was just messing around with him."

The girl's lips curved into a light smile, her carefree attitude stoking Victor's anger even further. Raising his hand, he prepared to strike her. Behind him, Kelly's eyes lit up at the sight, a glimmer of schadenfreude flashing uncontrollably in her gaze.

Only Vivienne reacted differently. Her pupils contracted as she suddenly lifted her leg and stepped forward.

Smack!

The familiar sting of pain didn't explode on Ella Bailey's face as expected.

Surprised, she opened her eyes to discover that someone-slender and frail-had stepped in front of her, intercepting Victor's blow. Ella Bailey arched an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over Luke Gill, who was being supported, and Kelly, who stood smugly by the door. Finally, her eyes landed on the visibly shocked Victor.

Then, she glanced at the person shielding her. Though reluctant to admit it, she came to a conclusion about their identity. Vivienne. Not bad at all.
