Chapter 644
Vivienne rolled her eyes at the scene before her and silently slipped out of the room.
Anna stood at the doorway, gripping Mara, who was feigning unconsciousness.
"Ms. Vivienne, what should we do with her?"
"Forget her," Vivienne waved dismissively. "Just feed this to Aaron when he wakes up."
Anna nodded in understanding. "Got it."
As Vivienne left, she couldn''t help but give Mara a wry smile.
Meanwhile, Keh was floundering in the bedroom, shouting, "Isn''t anyoneing to save me?
Hello? Anybody?!"
Anna nced indifferently at Keh, then descended the stairs, dragging the "passed out" Mara
behind her.
Mara bit back the pain, seething with resentment. Couldn''t this woman carry her down the stairs

properly instead of dragging her like some rag doll?
Her legs were probably covered in bruises!
And why on earth was Keh here?
Mara had nned to trap Aaron and Vivienne together and then bring Percival over to witness. Even if
nothing happened, the misunderstanding would be enough.
Without Percival, and with a rift between her and Aaron, her mission would beplete.
But Keh ended up being the one to show up, ruining everything!
Idiot!
It wasn''t until nightfall that Aaron finally opened his eyes, lying atop Keh.
With a throbbing headache, he sat up, parched and clueless about what had happened.
"Dude, you''ve been sitting on my junk," Keh groaned.
Aaron jumped back as if electrocuted, stumbling until he hit a dresser, finally snapping to his senses.
"What the... How did you end up here? What the hell were you doing?"
Keh sat up, cradling the fire extinguisher like a prized possession. "I should be asking you. You''ve
been on top of me the whole day. You''ve got some Hulk strength or something; I couldn''t even shove
you off. Look at this bruise!"
Keh lifted his shirt to reveal a red mark on his chest where Aaron had been lying.
Just then, Anna, who had been waiting, walked in to check on them and caught Keh with his shirt
up and Aaron blushing.
She blinked. "Sorry, didn''t mean to interrupt."
With that, Anna hurried downstairs, thinking she had chosen the worst possible moment to appear.
Keh tried to follow her, but Aaron held him back.
"Exin yourself! What''s going on here?"
All Aaron remembered was being locked in a room with Vivienne, who seemed to be checking his
pulse, and then nothing else.
As for why Keh was there and what Anna was doing there, he was utterly lost.
Keh sighed. "I came here to sort you out. What were you doing here, and why were you holding
Vivienne''s hand like that? I rushed in to rescue her from your clutches, and you just dragged me down
andid on top of me, trying to rip off my shirt. If I hadn''t knocked you out with the fire extinguisher, my
virtue would''ve beenpromised!"
Aaron frowned, clueless. "You brought a fire extinguisher?"
Keh licked his lips, guilt flickering in his eyes.
The truth was, he had received a text from Percival saying Anna wasing over to discuss some
college prep with Aaron, so he brought the fire extinguisher as a precaution for the confrontation. But
he hadn''t expected to find Aaron and Vivienne in a bedroom, which altered his ns somewhat.
Anna: Do I sense Keh got yed by someone?
Percival: Really? I didn''t notice.
"Why do you care what I bring? What about you, holding onto Vivienne''s hand with dubious
intentions?" Keh pressed.
Aaron was at a loss for words, remembering nothing.
Seeing Aaron drop the fire extinguisher inquiry, Keh pped him on the shoulder, walking him out.
"Forget it. Let''s head back to campus."
...
Elsewhere, Vivienne smiled in satisfaction at the sessful chip synthesis on her screen.
Percival was by her side, meticulously wiping her wrist with antiseptic wipes, one by one.
"That''s enough," Vivienneined, withdrawing her hand. "The chip has fused with Mara''s body.
Three more times, and it''ll beplete."
Percival smiled faintly. "Vivienne, you''re amazing."
Vivienne shot him a sideways nce, "Not as amazing as you. How did you know something was off
with Aaron today?"
Vivienne, skilled in medicine, could usually tell at a nce if someone was poisoned or ill. But she
hadn''t noticed anything amiss with Aaron today.
Nor had she found anything unusual in Mara''s home, be it the fruit tea or anything else.
How could Percival have been so certain?
Percival pinched Vivienne''s palm gently. "I''ve got a sixth sense."
"Mr. Wolf, that''s not funny."
Percival raised an eyebrow yfully. "Actually, the drugs Mara bought were sold by Leopold."
"Of course not." Percival pulled Vivienne into his embrace. "Because I knew you wouldn''t let anything
happen."
Vivienne narrowed her eyes at Percival.
Any drug from his hand would be potent; Aaron must have been in agony.
She hadn''t expected Mr. Wolf to be so cunning.
Not only had he manipted the medication, but he had also orchestrated a small punishment for
Aaron and even involved Keh.
Such a childish scheme!
It was a ploy designed by Percival, specifically targeting Aaron. New chapter avаble o?

Percival didn''t deny it. Childish or not, he didn''t care. He treated anyone who liked and had designs on
Vivienne with equal regard.
But getting close to his Vivienne was no walk in the park.
He couldn''ty a finger on Aaron since he was Vivienne''s friend, apprentice, and the leader of the
Miller family, the one Vivienne had pinned all her hopes on.
To discipline him, Percival had to be subtle.
Vivienne found it both exasperating and amusing. A grown man in his thirties, getting into petty
squabbles with a kid.
Percival leaned his head on Vivienne''s shoulder, gazing at her delicate profile, and couldn''t resist
pecking her on the cheek.
Vivienne chuckled, "Yeah, Gillian''s the key. Lately, she''s been meddling in Vanguard Agency''s affairs
more than a little. Leopold''s been up in arms about it plenty of times."
