From Divorce To Dominance

Darren sneered and quickly hung up the phone.

Vivian panicked.

She was not in the mood to record the show. Holding her phone in a daze for a moment, she suddenly bolted for the door.

Hannah chased after her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Luther Group building. As soon as Vivian got out of the car, she saw reporters with cameras not far away. They also spotted her and quickly gathered around her. "Vivian, did Darren dump you?"

"Ms. Zavala, were there some misunderstandings between you two? Or did you betray Mr. Luther, making him break up with you?"

Vivian took a deep breath and explained to them seriously, "Mr. Luther and I just had a small

disagreement. That's why I'm here. We'll reconcile soon."

She was so certain that many reporters believed her.

Seeing that she had calmed them down, Vivian politely asked, "Could you please get out of my way? I just called Mr. Luther, and he's expecting me in his office now." "Uh, okay, okay." The reporters quickly made way for her.

Vivian straightened her back and walked into

into the building.

Tony was waiting for her. "Ms. Zavala, please come upstairs with me."

Vivian nodded. When she was in the elevator, she got herself ready to meet Darren. As soon as she entered the CEO's office, her eyes were welled up with tears.

"Darren..." she choked, walking towards him."W-Who told you that? I was the one who saved you five years ago! I took care of you in the hospital, day and night. Have you forgotten?"

After finishing signing the last document, Darren, sitting behind his desk, took off his glasses. He put the index finger in front of his lips and told her to shush.

Vivian bit back the words and burst into tears.

Darren remained unmoved. He wore a white shirt and a pair of chain glasses, making him look less aloof and elegant. However, the coldness in his eyes still sent shivers down Vivian's spine. "I have a recording. Let's talk when you hear it tout," he said, taking out his phone and clinking it.

Two 1 female voices instantly sounded in the office. "If you have a death wish, don't take me with you!"

"If you don't help me, I'll go to Darren right now and tell him that the woman who saved him five years ago was me, not you."

"Alright,

Chloe. I know. You found Darren first five years ago. You are his savior."

The more Vivian listened, the more gloomy her face became.

On her way here, she imagined many possible scenarios.

But she never expected Chloe to record their conversations! She was so furious that she wanted to strangle her!

In the end, her face was deathly pale. However, she still denied it. "That's not true! Listen, Darren, the recording is fake!"

Darren laughed out of anger. He turned off the recording calmly and raised an eyebrow at her. "Do you think you can fool me that easily?" he asked, staring daggers at her.

Vivian couldn't help but tremble slightly. She thought, Yes, he's Darren Luther! He's scheming and cunning! He always fools others. No one can fool him.'

she knew there was no use in denying it.

this point, she

Biting her lip, she cried, "Yes, the recording is real. Chloe is my sister, but what she said is half true!"

"Huh?" Darren teased. "Then tell me, what did she say wrong?"

"It's true that she found you at the beach first, but I was the one who saved you. I gathered money for your corneal surgery and cared for you when you were in the hospital. In a very real sense, I saved your life!" Vivian clenched her fists tightly. She knew that Darren's eyes were the primary reason he was willing to pay her back.

She was certain that Darren didn't know anything because he was unconscious at that time. Luke, who knew about the secret, was sent abroad by her. There was no way that Darren could find it out. That was why she dared to say it. Unexpectedly, Darren shook his head. "Are you still denying it?"

Darren's voice turned dant to

"What?" Vivian didn't get it.

cold. "At this point, are you still lying to me?"Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Vivian's went weak, but she insisted, "Darren, I didn't lie! Everything I said is true! I will never deceive you!"

Darren

to listen anymore. He clapped his hands, and a man walked out from the inside room. The man kept his head down but suddenly raised his head as he walked in front of her. "Ms. Zavala, long time no see." "You-" Vivian was shocked. "Weren't you abroad? Who allowed you to come back?" she asked anxiously.

After finishing her sentence, she quickly covered her mouth and looked at at Darren regretfully.

Darren snapped his fingers, Luke repeated slowly what Vivian said back then. "You must remember, once he asks, just tell him I gathered the money for his cornea surgery."

"Ah!" Vivian interrupted Luke. e. "Since you knew it, why didn't you tell me? Why did you make me a fool?" she asked, looking at Darren with tears in her eyes.

Vivian was terrified. She cried I and pulled at

"Haven't you treated me like a fool these years?" Darren asked back, his eyes sharp. "If I hadn't found out the truth, were you going to deceive me forever?" I at Darren's sleeve, but he shook her hand away. "I was right. Even though I lied about the cornea surgery, I took care of you for months!" "You only took after me for a few months. I've already repaid your kindness for five years. Isn't that enough?" Darren retorted.

He decided to to put it t it all on the table. "We're done. For old times' sake, I didn't take things public. That's good enough for you. I can help you with your career, but I can also ruin you." "Darren, you can't do this t do this to me. I love you!" Vivian whimpered. "I really love you! Please, let me stay by your side, okay?"

"Tony! Get h her out of here!" Darren shouted.

After Vivian was dragged away, Luke left at once.

The office fell into silence. Darren massaged his brows. As he thought Vivian had deceived him for five years, he was furious. What made him even more furious was that if she hadn't insisted on marrying him, he wouldn't have divorced Natalie. Actually, Natalie was wife material. Darren thought of their three-year marriage. Every time he came home, she would look at him with love and admiration. She always cooked delicious food for him.

She had complete faith in him. He also thought of her perfect body.

He couldn't forget that steamy night and morning they had together.

At that time, the office door was pushed open again.

"When I came upstairs, I saw Vivian crying. Isn't she your savior? Weren't you going to marry her? Why did you break up with her?" Ethan asked doubtfully, walking in with Nichole.
