Chapter 416

Chapter 416:
In the crowd surrounding Vivian, angry voices began to rise.
“How can you destroy someone’s marriage and bully the wife? You’re disgusting!”
“That’s right! Answer us! You’re not walking away this time!”
“Speak up! Apologize, Vivian!”
The more polished Vivian’s public image had been, the harsher the backlash now. Many who once supported her felt deeply betrayed. Their anger ran deeper than that of her critics.
Sure, Vivian still had loyal fans online who believed she was innocent. But none of them were there tonight. The ones who showed up had come to vent their rage. This update is available on
“This is just too satisfying!” Barbara laughed, pumping her fist. “She had it coming!”
The SUV dipped slightly as Charles climbed in. Barbara kept peeking out the window, watching the chaos unfold. Millie found it a little amusing.
“Close the door. If we linger too long, it’ll get too crowded,” she said.
Barbara hesitated but finally shut the door after one last look. The SUV rolled forward.
Just before they turned the corner, Millie glanced back at the crowd still swarming Vivian. Charles noticed.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
Millie shook her head. “Just curious how she’ll handle this.”
Charles let out a loud laugh. “Forget her. Let’s go celebrate. We’ve earned it!”
“Sounds good,” Millie replied. But this time, she wasn’t going to the Blue Lounge. She had no intention of bumping into Darden or Brandon again and getting dragged into another scene.
Now that the dust had settled with the show, she could finally focus on new projects—the Bennett family lawsuits and Ari’s health. Ari’s surgery application had already been submitted. The operation could be scheduled any day.
Just thinking of Ari’s chubby little face brought a soft smile to Millie’s lips. Laughter filled the car as they headed to the celebration. Meanwhile, outside the Heavenly Melody recording venue, Vivian faced the angry crowd alone.

Many who felt betrayed pointed fingers and shouted harsh words. Reporters shoved microphones at her, refusing to back off.
“There are claims you got involved in Brandon and Millie’s marriage. What do you say?”
“Did you target Serena—who’s actually Millie—on purpose?”
“What exactly is your relationship with Brandon? Did you interfere in his marriage?”
Each question was sharper than the last.
Vivian wanted to leave, but the crowd hemmed her in. Inside, she burned with frustration, but on the outside, she looked delicate. Her eyes turned red as she whispered, “I didn’t know Serena was Millie.” Tears rolled down her cheeks, making her look helpless. “And I’m not a homewrecker,” she added.
But someone in the crowd yelled, “We’re not Brandon! Save your tears! Stop playing the victim!”
Vivian pressed her lips together and wiped her cheeks, though the redness in her eyes remained.
“I never lied to anyone,” she said quietly. “I wasn’t a homewrecker, and I’m not trying to paint myself as a victim. I just… honestly didn’t know Serena and Millie were the same person.”
