The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1986

Hence, while she had kept up appearances by treating the ailing Rosalie as well as she could all the while, the former was actually the one who had secretly orchestrated all the intrigue and ostracism that Rosalie had to contend with.

That included the episode of her wanting to change her name.

The reason for desiring that change stemmed from Rosalie's personal fondness for Vivian's name back in the day. She started to pay close attention to Vivian ever since the day she discovered that there was a megacorporation of equal standing with the Tilan Palace that also had an heiress.

Afterward, she found out that Vivian had led a very blessed life.

With twins for older brothers and parents who saw her as the apple of their eyes, a bright smile was always seen on Vivian's dainty face whenever she made any media appearances.

That made Rosalie extremely envious.

From a sense of envy toward her counterpart for the family she had and her looks, Rosalie eventually arrived at a point where she also wanted to have the exact same name as the other.

Vivian... What a lovely name. I bet it feels great to be called that name.

Egged on by the incitement of her older sister Melinda, the clueless adolescent girl went on to request that Hugo rename her "Vivian."

On that occasion, Hugo stopped short of beating her to death.

Men were naturally competitive. As the leading drug lord in Southeast Astoria, Hugo certainly did not wish for his own daughter to bear the name of someone else's daughter, especially not the daughter of Sebastian Hayes, the man whom he didn't have the courage to take on.

Rosalie almost died that time.

It was only through the efforts of the house steward, Zylan, to reach out to the girl's maternal grandmother's family that the enraged Hugo was convinced to spare the girl's life.
