Chapter 640


    Vivienne was testing whether the chip could integrate with the human body through ionic fusion,


    eventually solidifying within and migrating with the flow of blood.


    She had been wracking her brain for a suitable test subject, even considering the drastic measure of


    extracting Fiona from a high-security federal penitentiary.


    But then Mara walked right into herp, a perfect volunteer. When Mara had begged Vivienne for


    treatment, she agreed to any terms set forth. Even the prospect of being a human guinea pig did not


    deter her.


    So Vivienne wasn''t about to pull her punches. If she did not conduct this experiment on, the powers


    behind Mara would not hesitate to find another way to make it happen. Better to be the one in control,


    she figured.


    “Keep your face dry for the rest of the day,” Vivienne instructed as she gathered her belongings, ready

    to leave. “I''ll check back in a week.”


    Mara caught her arm. “Wait, what exactly are you experimenting with? Can you tell me?”


    Vivienne considered for a moment. “It''s a biotechnological study on quantum entanglement and GPS


    phenomena analysis. Does that make sense to you?”


    Mara blinked,pletely lost. Her school days were spent just sliding by, barely scraping into Elite


    University. This scientific jargon was like a foreignnguage.


    “Forget it. It''s over my head,” Mara sighed, figuring she would just ry Vivienne''s words to Gillian so


    she would stop asking her about it every day.


    Vivienne left with a small smile.


    Downstairs, Aaron greeted Vivienne with concern.


    “Is everything wrapped up?” he asked.


    Vivienne nodded briskly, pausing to offer a piece of advice. “Aaron, know what you should and


    shouldn’t meddle with.”


    Aaron looked taken aback. “I can exin...”


    “No need,” Vivienne cut him off, turning to leave. She had another chip prototype to perfect and no time


    for Aaron''s love life dramas. She didn’t mind as long as Mara did not beg to be killed, and she was only


    angry because Aaron was blind.


    Vivienne was disappointed because Aaron was so quickly seduced by Mara in just a few days,


    improvements were so slow, and it turned out it was because his attention was elsewhere!


    Aaron watched Vivienne go, at a loss. He had never seen her so upset.


    Copsing onto the couch, Aaron was overwhelmed with regret.


    Mara descended the staircase, a smirk ying on her lips as she observed Aaron''s dejection.


    “Everything okay, Aaron?” she asked, offering him a Coke – Vivienne''s favorite, if she recalled correctly.


    Aaron''s mood darkened further, pping Mara''s hand away. “Why did you deliberately make her


    misunderstand me?”


    Feigning surprise, Mara said, “Aaron, Vivienne is the girl you like?”


    Aaron wavered, guilty. Mara, ying the understanding big sister, reassured him. “It''s perfectly normal


    to like her. She''s like a goddess among mortals. It''s no wonder if every guy falls for her.”


    She pulled Aaron down back on the sofa and continued, “Liking someone isn’t something you should


    be ashamed of.”


    “But Vivienne is...”


    “Forget about Percival. I think you and Vivienne are a much better match.”


    “Are you serious?’ Aaron’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Mara.


    “Of course. You two are about the same age, and I heard from Keh that you’ve known each other


    for years. You knew her and liked her before Percival. The only reason they’re together is because


    Percival took advantage of the time you two were separated.”


    Aaron could not agree more. He had always felt it unfair how Percival won Vivienne’s heart before him,


    although he knew and liked her longer than Percival did. Plus, Percival was so old he could be


    Vivienne’s uncle!


    Aaron had nevere to terms with this, but no one ever took his side or understood him. As time


    passed, he began to subconsciously think that he was the paramour.


    Mara tapped his shoulders and said, “Aaron, you know what I think? I think you might have a spot in


    Vivienne’s heart, only she doesn’t realize it. Plus, Percival has her so wrapped around his fingers that


    she has lost sight of her true feelings. You don’t know this, but just because of how I sounded so


    intimate with you earlier, she threw a hit fit at me upstairs.”


    “Really?” Aaron could not believe it.


    “Of course. Why would I lie? To be frank, I don’t think my cousin and Vivienne arepatible. If


    possible, I think you should be together with Vivienne.”


    “Are you saying that you’re willing to help me?”


    Mara nodded. “Yes. I’ll help you.”


    Meanwhile, Vivienne was off to the YQ Research Center, where Percival was overseeing the


    development of thetest chip prototype.


    "How''s iting along?" Vivienne approached, now donned in a whiteb coat, her hair swept up into


    a practical bun at the back of her head.


    Percival turned around and was struck by such a look.  Draмanоvеls


    Something deep inside him felt like it had been hit hard, as if a surge of electricity shot straight to his


    brain.


    Vivienne, oblivious to Percival''s transfixed gaze, walked straight to the machinery. "The synthesis has


    gone well. I''ll add a bonus to your paycheck."


    His gaze was so intense it was as if it could prate her.


    Vivienne let out a chuckle, walked over, and wrapped her arms around Percival''s neck.


    Her body coiled around his like a vine, pressing tightly against him. "Mr. Wolf, what are you looking at?"
