Chapter 466

Vivian's fingers trembled slightly as she tapped open the trending topic.

A flood of discussions filled her screen—all about Sophia Evans being photographed with Ethan Roscente and a child.

"That kid called Mr. Roscente 'Daddy'! Must be his real son!"

"Sophia hid this well. Fans thought she was a single goddess, but her kid's already walking and talking."

"Disgusting. Playing the innocent virgin while secretly having a child. She should be canceled."

Though Ethan had swiftly removed the trending tag, the damage was done. Screenshots and gossip had already spread like wildfire across every platform.

Vivian stared at her phone, her chest heavy as if weighed down by a stone.

"Vivian..." Emily Garnache approached cautiously. "Are you okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Vivian forced a smile. "It's just tabloid gossip."

"But they're saying... it's Mr. Roscente's child..."

Emily hesitated. Everyone knew Ethan had been pursuing Vivian. What did this sudden child mean?

"It doesn't matter." Vivian's voice was eerily calm. "It has nothing to do with me."

She calculated the timeline silently. The child was over three years old. They had only been married for three years.

That meant Sophia had been pregnant before their wedding.

No wonder Ethan had chased her to the airport back then.

Outwardly composed, Vivian dug her nails deep into her palms.

"I'm tired. I need to rest." She stood abruptly and walked to her bedroom without looking back.

The palace was silent in the dead of night.

Ethan stood outside Vivian's door, an unlit cigarette between his fingers. He debated knocking but feared disturbing her.

Inside, Vivian tossed and turned.

Exhausted but sleepless, the cruel words haunted her mind.

She thought she had moved on. Yet seeing Ethan with Sophia's child still made her heart twist.

Turns out, she still cared.

If she had known, she never would have married him. Never would have entangled with him after the divorce.

Ethan Roscente—you're nothing but a liar.
