Chapter 646

"Move aside!" Bianca Semona shrieked hysterically. The crowd recoiled at her frenzied appearance.

Vivian Laurent clamped down on her wrist. "Trying to leave?"

"What more do you want?" Bianca struggled.

"Apologize." Vivian's voice was glacial. "You promised."

Bianca gritted her teeth. "I won't. What can you do about it?"

"Then you're not going anywhere." Vivian tightened her grip.

Bianca gasped in pain. "I'm sorry!"

"Be specific." Vivian remained unmoved.

"You—" Hatred flashed in Bianca's eyes. "Fine! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have framed you. My parents' deaths had nothing to do with you!"

Vivian finally released her. "Get lost."

Bianca staggered away, her retreating figure pitiful.

The onlookers regarded Vivian with admiration.

"Show's over." Vivian said calmly. "AN Atelier's products are perfectly safe."

The crowd gradually dispersed.

"Viv, you were amazing!" Emily Garnache bounced excitedly. "Did you see Bianca's face?"

Fiona Grandelle nodded vigorously. "She deserved it!"

Vivian smirked. "She thought fainting would earn sympathy."

Ethan Roscente stood nearby, his gaze inscrutable.

"Thanks for earlier." Vivian glanced at him.

"For what?" Ethan arched a brow.

"Don't play dumb." She snorted.

He chuckled lowly. "I'd prefer tangible gratitude."

"Such as?"

"Such as..." He stepped closer.

Vivian raised a threatening hand. "Want a beating?"
