Chapter 68\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane had thrown a celebration dinner for Logan, rounding up a table and inviting a bunch of his rowdy friends. By the time Logan arrived, everyone was already mid\u2013drink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the others noticed him arriving alone, someone asked, \u201cWhere\u2019s Vivian?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan\u2019s eyes darkened, and a flicker of impatience crossed his face. \u201cShe didn\u2019t come.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane quickly stepped forward to greet Logan, smiling at the questioner. \u201cWhich Vivian are you talking about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Laughter broke out around the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane continued, \u201cVivian\u2019s never liked us much. She wouldn\u2019t come to a dinner like this. If she\u00a0<\/p>\n
did, she\u2019d just give us all the cold shoulder and ruin the mood. If it were the other Vivian, that would make everyone happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan gave him a sharp look. \u201cShut up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane tapped his mouth theatrically. \u201cAlright, three drinks for me. But I still mean what I said\u2014 Vivian\u2019s temper is brutal. Only you can put up with it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His face darkened even more. \u201cIf you keep insulting her, I\u2019ll have no choice but to sever ties with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane\u2019s smile faltered. Logan ignored him and strode past, taking his seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few of the guys immediately crowded around, raising glasses and showering him with compliments. Logan soaked it in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a few drinks, Logan said, \u201cAfter today, I probably won\u2019t have time to hang out with guys again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone showed their understanding with a nod.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After taking a verbal scolding from Logan earlier, Zane now sat silently, swirling his drink with a hint of resentment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, he asked, \u201cLogan, is this because Vivian doesn\u2019t want you hanging out with us?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan didn\u2019t answer, though it was indeed part of the reason.\u00a0<\/p>\n
you\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Logan didn\u2019t respond, Zane cursed under his breath. \u201cYou should teach her a lesson. Let her understand who really calls the shots. Yesterday, she embarrassed you in front of all those business partners. If it were me, I wouldn\u2019t have tolerated it. I know how to deal with women.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Look at my wife. No matter how much I go out and fool around, she keeps her mouth shut at home. Follow my way, Logan, and I guarantee Vivian will do exactly as you say. Even if you bring another woman right in front of her, she wouldn\u2019t dare make a sound.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan\u2019s gaze darkened further as he asked, \u201cAnd what do you suggest?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Stella had invited Vivian for a private dinner to thank her for securing Kingston\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they passed by Logan\u2019s room, they overheard part of the conversation inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella shot a worried glance at Vivian, but Vivian stayed composed and paused in her tracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane lowered his voice, and a waiter stepped forward to close the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian stopped it with a raised hand and walked in uninvited. \u201cGo on. I want to hear how Mr.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Carter plans to teach me a lesson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She crossed her arms and leaned slightly against the private room\u2019s doorframe. A faint smile played in her eyes, but it held no warmth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room went still. Everyone broke out in cold sweat, pretending to shuffle food around.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane froze, forcing a nervous laugh. \u201cVivian, I\u2019m drunk. Don\u2019t mind me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan\u2019s frown deepened as he glared at Zane, then strode over to Vivian. \u201cVivian, why are you here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he reached for her hand, she raised hers and pushed it away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
