Chapter 149

The storm was coming.

Vivian Laurent's days passed in their usual rhythm.

She moved between the hospital, Isabella Langley's design studio, and Lucas Lefèvre's shop.

That day, while scrolling through her phone, Sophia Evans' name dominated the trending list again.

The video showed Sophia holding a patient's hand, tears glistening in her eyes. "Let's fight this together..."

The comments overflowed with emotion.

"Sophia is so kind!"

"How could anyone slander such a pure soul?"

"Vivian should leave the entertainment industry!"

Vivian swiped past without expression.

Sophia's new drama was officially announced.

At the press conference, reporters pressed her about the brake line incident.

Sophia smoothed her hair. "I understand her jealousy. After all, Ethan and I..."

Her words ignited the internet.

"Sophia is too forgiving!"

"Someone like Vivian deserves to be blacklisted!"

"Let's expose her!"

Vivian smirked and turned off her phone.

She knew Sophia's tactics all too well.

The storm arrived without warning.

Heavy raindrops hammered against the windows all night.

Standing by the glass, Vivian felt an inexplicable unease.

The next morning, the downpour intensified.

"Vivian! It's an emergency!"

Lucas burst into the clinic, drenched.

Vivian's medical file clattered to the floor.
