Chapter 323


    On the other side, fake Dorian and Cordelia were rushed to the hospital. However, after only half an


    hour, they slipped out the back door.


    Dorian''s injuries weren''t severe. His paleplexion and weakened body were all effects of pressure-


    point maniption.


    Vivienne, a skilled doctor, had promptly treated and bandaged him up. So, he was out of danger. After


    a simple treatment, they stealthily left the hospital.


    As soon as they exited the hospital, they received a text message. Their faces changed drastically. It


    was as if they had seen something unimaginable.


    "Quick! Let''s go now!" Dorian, not daring to waste any time, started the car and rushed to the outskirts


    of the city with Cordelia.


    They parked the car next to a vi and entered through a side door. In the living room, a man wearing a


    silver mask was seated on a sofa. They couldn''t see his face, but his chilling aura gave both Dorian


    and Cordelia shivers.


    "Montague…"


    BANG!


    Before they could finish their sentence, the man suddenly stood up. In the blink of an eye, he was in


    front of them.


    Before they could react, he grabbed their necks, and a deep, husky voice echoed in their ears. "Who


    gave you the nerve toy your hands on Vivienne?"


    "Montague, I…" Dorian tried to exin but found himself unable to speak.


    Seeing this, Cordelia quickly chimed in. "Montague, it wasn''t our intention to harm Vivienne. We had no


    other choice. The organization demanded that we secure the potion as soon as possible. Up to now,


    we haven''t even gotten a single bottle. That''s why we had to disguise ourselves as Dorian and


    Cordelia."


    "Today, we targeted Vivienne because she’s too shrewd. If we hadn’t done something, she would have


    realized we were impostors. We just wanted to increase her trust in us to make it easier to get the


    potion.”


    Dorian nodded. “That’s correct, Montague. We have tried pressing her several times, but Vivienne


    always refused to give up the potion. Today at the Ellington gathering, our cover was almost blown. Out


    of desperation, I had to resort to this method.”


    Montague nced at them coldly and flung Dorian away.


    THUD!


    Dorian was thrown against the wall. The intense impact felt like it would shatter his bones, but he dared


    not make a sound. He stood there with his head bowed in respect.


    Montague was a terrifying figure in GTO.


    Nobody knew Montague’s true identity or what he looked like, but everyone in GTO knew that he was a


    big shot that no one could mess with. He held absolute power in the organization.


    “Montague, Vivienne is cunning. Despite our attempts today, we couldn’t get her to let her guard down.


    I think we should use Dorian and Cordelia to negotiate with Vivienne.” Fake Cordelia suggested.


    Dorian nodded in agreement. “That’s right. The organization isn’t giving us much time. Vivienne cares


    deeply for Dorian and Cordelia. She would definitely agree to trade the potion for his safety.”


    Just as he was feeling frustrated, his phone rang.


    He answered it, and his face turned pale at what he heard on the other end. "What did you say?!"


    The person on the other end was panting heavily. "Our hideouts at the Pleasant Club and Lucky House


    have been attacked!"


    "How is this possible…?" Dorian looked at Montague in disbelief.


    Vivienne had found their hideouts and so quickly at that.


    "This is a warning." Montague said in a grave voice. "You''ve been exposed. Evacuate immediately."


    "Rest assured, Montague. We''ll clean up our traces and leave immediately!" Despite the resentment he


    was feeling, fake Dorian had no choice but to retreat.


    He never expected that Vivienne, whom he had just saved and pretended to share a deep father-


    daughter bond with, would attack his hideout.


    This girl was simply too formidable.


    Montague spoke with an authority that made all arguments futile. "Clean everything up. Don''t leave any


    traces."


    "Yes!"


    Over the next two days, several GTO hideouts were attacked by an unknown person.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Vivienne watched the drama unfold with a light smile. She was waiting for GTO to lose their patience


    ande to her.


    As she was scrolling through her messages in her room, Isolde knocked on her door and asked,


    "Vivienne, have you seen Thaddeus?"


    Ever since they met at the Ellington family gathering, Isolde would asionally drop by the Brooks


    Mansion to hang out with Thaddeus.


    They were around the same age, so they always had a st together, and neither family minded their


    frequent interactions.


    Thus, everyone was prettyid-back about it. Nobody tried to interfere.


    "Thaddeus?" Vivienne got up from her bed. "Isn''t he in his room ying with his Lego?"


    She had just bought them for him. Thaddeus was so thrilled that the moment he saw them, he took off


    with them, announcing that he''d put them together immediately.


    "Thaddeus isn''t in his room." Isolde, clutching her teddy bear, shook her head with a hint of


    disappointment. "I wanted to y with him, but I can''t find Thaddeus anywhere."


    The Brooks Mansion was massive. It had multiple floors and even a backyard. It wasn''t surprising that


    she couldn''t find him.


    Vivienne patted her head in confusion. "How about I go with you to find him?"


    "Okay!" Isolde''s face lit up instantly, and she hopped with joy.


    Vivienne took her by the hand to Thaddeus'' room, and, exactly as the little girl said, the room was


    deserted.


    The floor was scattered with half-assembled Lego bricks, meaning that someone had just been there.


    Vivienne''s brows furrowed slightly, but she didn''t say anything. Instead, she took Isolde and headed


    elsewhere.
