I Cancel the Engagement and Level Way Up 99
Chapter 99
“Didn’t you hear? That woman is pregnant. She was probably using the baby to pressure Logan into marrying her. That’s why Vivian went after her. But no one expected Diana to actually have a video.”
“I’m telling you, none of them are innocent. When they turn on each other like this, nobody looks good in the end.”
“Aren’t you curious what’s on that video? I’ve heard the quiet, classy women are always the wildest in bed.”
The man, leering as he spoke, wore a lewd grin, his eyes lingering on Vivian like he couldn’t get enough.
Up on the second floor, Theo stood beside Kingston and clicked his tongue.
“Diana’s assuming Vivian can’t prove they were behind what happened last night, so she’s going all in on destroying her reputation.
“Anyone who watched this is going to spread it around. Aren’t you going down there to clear things up for her?”
Kingston leaned on the railing. The veins on the back of his hand stood out, yet his expression gave nothing away.
“I’m not that bored,” he said flatly.
Theo raised an eyebrow when he realized Kingston was heading down after all.”
Kingston was as stubborn as ever. He said one thing and did another.
Logan didn’t stop Diana. He stood off to the side with a dark expression.
This was going to affect him, but if the blame got “shared“, the damage aimed at him would be blunted.
Hearing the crowd’s gossip, he knew his goal had basically been achieved.
His face hardened. He shot his relatives a look, and they immediately stepped in to take Diana and Sloane away.
They’d barely reached the entrance when someone blocked them.
Victor walked into the hall.
Chapter 99

“Ms. Hartwell, I’ve come to deliver your wedding gift.”
With that, Victor clapped his hands.
The next second, Zane and the other men were dragged in by Victor’s people and thrown to the floor.
Zane wore nothing but shorts. Beneath his rumpled shirt, lash marks were visible, ugly and stark against his skin.
His hair was damp, clumped together with some unknown liquid that made people’s stomachs turn just looking at it.
Diana’s face changed instantly. Instinctively, she looked at Sloane, only to see Sloane shrinking back, her whole body tense.
The sudden turn made Logan’s face go dark. His eyes snapped to the doorway and met Zane’s.
Zane immediately started begging, his voice cracking with panic. “Logan, save me! I did this for you! I was trying to help you get leverage on Vivian, so Whitfield Group could belong to you alone. That’s why I hired those guys to sleep with Vivian. You can’t just stand there and let
me die!”
The hall went dead silent. Everyone stared, eyes wide.
The rumors collapsed on the spot.
No one had expected things to turn around like this.
Everyone in Baymoor knew Whitfield Group had been built by Logan and Vivian together. But no one expected Logan to try to turn it into his own personal property by setting Vivian up, even if it meant cuckolding himself.
After pulling something that disgusting, they’d still tried to smear Vivian.
It was beyond shameless.
In the workplace, the weight on women’s shoulders was already heavier than men’s. If Diana’s scheme had worked, Vivian wouldn’t have had a single chance to defend herself.
The Whitfields were vicious.
Halfway down the stairs, Kingston stopped in the shadows. His expression stayed calm, giving nothing away.
Theo leaned in and murmured, “It looks like Ms. Hartwell doesn’t need you to testify for her.” Kingston said coldly, “I’m not blind.”
