Vivienne took a deep breath, realizing there was no way she could neutralize the poison coursing through her veins. She turned to look at Zelda, relieved to see her aunt unharmed and conscious.

Zelda’s eyes, large and watery, were fixed on Vivienne, filled with concern.

“Vivienne, are you okay? Does your head hurt? Feeling dizzy?” Zelda asked quickly, her voice tinged with guilt.

Vivienne shook her head, only to feel the room spin even more. “I’m fine, Auntie. Are you hurt?”

“I’m not,” Zelda replied, her voice heavy with worry, then her gaze shifted to Diana. “Diana, you double-crossing snake, how could you collaborate with GTO? You know full well that’s Dad’s Achilles heel!”

“So what?” Diana stepped forward, her face twisted with resentment as she slapped Zelda hard across the cheek.

“Who do you think you are to tell me what to do, Zelda?”

Diana then grabbed Zelda by the throat. “Do you have any idea how much I’ve loathed you since you married into the Perez family? The only ones who ever dared to cross me were you and that smug Maddox. I’ve wanted you out of the Perez family for ages!”

Zelda could not speak, but her defiant gaze never wavered.

That defiance only fueled Diana’s spite. “Oh, so you like playing the doting auntie to Vivienne, huh? Well, watch closely as I show you just how she’s going to die!”

Vivienne turned to Diana. “Die? You really think you’ve got the chops for that?”

Diana’s hatred for Vivienne boiled over. She clenched her fist and punched Vivienne in the stomach with the force that could take down a mastiff.

Vivienne coughed up blood, but her eyes remained icy as she stared at Diana.
