Chapter 415

"Ethan Roscente, what gives you the right to take Theo away?" Sophia Evans shrieked hysterically.

"Blood and responsibility." Ethan lifted the child with an impassive expression. "I won't let him stay with a madwoman."

Theo clung to Ethan's neck, tears welling in his large eyes. He peeked at Sophia but flinched at her distorted expression.

"You're insane!" Sophia grabbed a vase from the coffee table and smashed it against the floor. "What poison has that bitch Vivian Laurent fed you?"

Shards flew as Ethan shielded Theo, stepping back.

"Apologize to Vivian." His voice turned glacial. "This is your last chance."

Sophia suddenly stilled, lips curling unnaturally. "Fine. I'll go."

As two bodyguards escorted her out, she concealed a comedone extractor in her sleeve. The sharp needle glinted coldly under the light.

"I'll wipe that smile off her face," she vowed silently.

Meanwhile, in Vivian's apartment.

Emily Garnache fidgeted nervously, stealing glances at the girl called Killer on the sofa. Once vibrant, the girl now sat motionless like a porcelain doll, her breathing barely audible.

"Vivian!" Emily lunged toward the door like a drowning woman grasping at straws. "She's terrifying..."

Vivian patted her shoulder. "Go rest."

Only after Emily reluctantly closed the bedroom door did Killer lift her eyelids. "Finished playing detective?"

Vivian sat across from her. "I've confirmed one thing at least."

"Oh?"

"You're more dangerous than I imagined." Vivian met her gaze unflinchingly. "But I'm not afraid of you."

Killer's sudden smile chilled the room.

"You will be." Her whisper slithered through the air. "Because someone's coming for you with a weapon."

The doorbell rang.
