Chapter 406:
The speculation sparked a wave of renewed interest online.
People began rewatching old clips, reanalyzing reports.
“Something’s off. Vivian didn’t just tag along; she basically wore a bridal gown. What was that supposed to mean? Was she trying to send a message?” The dress, with its unmistakable bridal silhouette, had indeed been the center of attention that night.
“Didn’t Vivian once say she’d never be the other woman? What does this dress say, then? Millie is Brandon’s legal wife, and she’s still in the picture.”
The narrative online shifted. Millie, once condemned for tolerating her husband’s affairs in exchange for a luxurious life, was now seen in a different light.
The criticism turned toward Vivian—for knowingly staying close to Brandon despite his marriage.
“Aren’t we live-streaming? Vivian, answer us! Weren’t you just sketching your own funeral invitation card? That means you’re watching. Say something!” The comment exploded in popularity, piling intense pressure on Vivian.
She was no longer visible on the stream.
Previously caught on hidden camera, she now dared not speak freely backstage.
She sat inside her car, accompanied only by her caregiver.
“Miss Simpson, what should we do now?” The caregiver’s voice trembled. “There’s no way to explain this. Who would’ve guessed Serena was Millie? Everything’s falling apart…”
Vivian’s face contorted with frustration. She shot the caregiver a harsh look, silencing her instantly.
Meanwhile, in the recording studio, contestants eliminated from previous rounds were being brought onstage again as guest performers. Their voices drifted faintly in the distance.
Vivian pulled out her phone and called Johnny.
He picked up right away, clearly in a panic.

“Miss Simpson, what now?” Johnny’s voice cracked. They might have a bunch of backup plans, but none of them accounted for Serena being Millie. They had assumed Serena was finished and had been preparing to exploit the situation, stoking public anger against her.
Now, they were out of moves.
“There’s still time,” Vivian said, forcing herself to stay composed. “As long as the livestream’s running, I can claim I haven’t seen the online backlash yet.”
“But things are moving fast. Millie’s team already has professionals pushing the fact that you didn’t spend a dime at the charity auction,” Johnny warned.
Vivian closed her eyes, her mind racing. Then, slowly, she turned to glance in Brandon’s direction.
Elsewhere backstage, Brandon stood near Millie’s lounge, waiting for her to come out.
He needed to speak to her.
His thoughts circled back to everything he’d learned about Serena lately. Jayceon’s words echoed—”Serena’s condition on the earlier broadcasts? Anyone with eyes could tell.” Get full chapters from.net
And it was true. Brandon had seen it. He’d even blamed Charles for letting her work despite those obvious injuries.
