Chapter 376

The news of Ethan Roscente taking over the unfinished building project sent a shiver down Vivian Laurent's spine.

Her fingers tightened around the phone, the tips burning slightly.

Ethan's voice carried amusement through the receiver. "If you're touched, come back and thank me properly."

Vivian's ears grew warm. "Don't flatter yourself."

"Then have dinner with me?"

"Depends on my mood."

After hanging up, Vivian gazed out the window. Ethan's move was brilliant—it solved a public issue while boosting Roscente Group's reputation.

But not everyone was pleased.

Natalie Valrose stared at the news, her nails digging into her palms.

"Bitch!" She hurled her phone against the wall.

To her, this was clearly a scheme between Vivian and Ethan. Valrose Realty went bankrupt while Roscente Group reaped all the benefits.

"This is all your fault..." Natalie's eyes turned bloodshot.

She started her car and tailed Vivian, who had just left the construction site.

Under the night sky, two vehicles entered the main road in succession.

Vivian glanced at the rearview mirror. The silver sedan had been following her for three blocks.

"How interesting." She lightly pressed the accelerator.

The traffic light turned green.

A cargo truck approached from the opposite direction.

Natalie suddenly grinned and slammed the gas pedal.

"Die!"

The silver car shot toward Vivian's vehicle like an arrow.

At the critical moment, Vivian jerked the steering wheel.

The tires screeched against the pavement.
