Suzanne stepped out of the car unhurriedly and remained coollyposed in the face of Vivi’s frenzied


    outburst.


    Adjusting her attire nonchntly, Suzanne queried, “What do you mean by saying I’ve ruined you? We


    had an agreement. I instructed you to approach Natalie and stage this spectacle. In return, your


    liquidated damages would be wiped clean. I also offered an additional 200 grand. You were quite eager


    to ept the term, weren’t you?”


    Vivi’s re intensified as she shrieked at Suzanne, “But I’m destroyed! My life is in shambles! I’m a


    total outcast now, with no hope of redeeming myself!”


    Suzanne’s smirk was full of disdain as she retorted, “Your future is your own concern, not mine.


    However, it’s true that you’ve offended both the White family and the Larson family. There won’t be any


    room for you in Barnes from here on. But with the 200 grand I gave you, you should be able to make do


    for a while.”


    Fuelled by Suzanne’s taunts, Vivi’s face twisted even more grotesquely. “Had you not pressured me


    into confronting Natalie, I could have apologized to her earnestly and possibly salvaged the situation!


    But now, all hope is lost. Everything is over. It’s all your fault! Damn you!”


    Suzanne cast a scornful look at her, withdrew a paper bag from her car, and flung it onto the ground


    with a condescending air. “Here’s 200 thousand in cash. Take it and disappear from my sight. Make


    yourself scarce.”


    Two bundles of cash tumbled out. Vivi swiftly scooped up the money, clutching it tightly.


    Suzanne’s expression grew more disgusted as she took in Vivi’s greedy demeanor, stating, “Now, get


    out!”


    Vivi bristled, ready to retaliate, but when she met Suzanne’s icy gaze, an unexpected fear gripped her.

    Previously, during her stint at Star Entertainment, Vivi had heard whispers about Suzanne. Rumor had


    it that Suzanne had powerful connections, and any


    Inte celebrity who dared to offend her faced severe consequences.


    Vivi recalled a chilling tale of an influencer who had angered Suzanne and had subsequently been sold


    to a nightclub to work as a Stripper, left to the mercy of obese and lecherous men.


    This thought sent a shudder through Vivi, and she no longer dared to raise her voice against Suzanne.


    Sensing Vivi’s newfound meekness, Suzanne nodded approvingly, saying, “Seems you’re not entirely


    brainless. Take the money and get lost. Don’t dare to cross my path again.”


    Vivi bit her lip and hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately didn’t dare to keep arguing. She grabbed


    the money and scurried out of the underground garage, her face flush with embarrassment.


    Leaning against the car door, Suzanne watched Vivi’s retreating form, a cryptic smile dancing on her


    lips.


    Later that night, a news article titled “Inte Celebrity Vivi Died in a Car Crash, An ident or Foul


    y?” rapidly ascended the trending topics.


    Alongside the news of Vivi’s fatal car crash, a video of her desperately begging Natalie for mercy also


    went viral, topping the list of trending topics.


    In the video, Vivi implored Natalie for forgiveness and mercy, but Natalie regarded her coldly, her face


    devoid of any emotion.


    Often, even the most reprehensible individuals garner sympathy once they pass away. This was


    especially true for someone like Vivi, whose young life had ended in such tragic circumstances, eliciting


    a wave of sadness and empathy from many.


    Furthermore, the ambiguity of the news article’s headline, coupled with the video captured outside the


    hospital, seamlessly connected the two incidents, fuelling public suspicion and outrage.


    “She was already on her knees, apologizing. Why did Natalie persist in her arrogance? Does she truly


    believe she holds so much power?”


    “It’s highly probable Natalie was involved in the car ident. What are the odds that Vivi dies right after


    her troll scandales to light?”


    “Indeed. Natalie wields power and influence, she’s fully capable of orchestrating a fatal ident for


    Vivi!”


    Various conjectures and theories kept spiralling across the inte, showing no signs of slowing down.


    At that moment, Natalie had just finished a shower and was sprawled on the couch, browsing through


    celebrity gossip. Suddenly, a headline about Vivi’s fatal car ident surfaced, leaving Natalie taken


    aback. She blinked at the news article, doubting her own eyes, and clicked on it. After reading, a chill


    ran down her spine.


    Vivi… was truly dead!


    What on earth had happened?


    Was it a mere ident or a vicious murder?


    Natalie’s mind swirled with confusion.


    She haphazardly scrolled through a fewments and, just as she had anticipated, numerous users


    were berating her for her supposed cruelty, malice, and high-handedness.


    Some had even cooked up conspiracy theories connecting Vivi’s death to the morning’s uproar outside


    the hospital. They spected that Natalie had not let Vivi off the hook and had someone sabotage


    Vivi’s car, intentionally causing the ident and subsequently leading to Vivi’s demise. Some even


    outrightbelled Natalie as a murderer.
