Logan clenched his teeth and drove around in circles without any direction. Then, he furiously slammed on the brakes and irritably tugged at his tie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana had been frightened by Logan\u2019s earlier outburst and didn\u2019t dare speak. Now that the car had stopped, she cautiously said, \u201cLogan, Sloane\u2019s carrying a child. Don\u2019t scare her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sloane\u2019s face was pale, and she looked at Logan pitifully. \u201cI\u2019m fine. I\u2019m just worried about\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana ground her teeth and said to Logan, \u201cIf she dares to cheat on you,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe wouldn\u2019t!\u201d Logan cut her off sharply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian loved him so much. How could she possibly cheat on him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
then you\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sloane\u2019s eyes reddened. She bit her lip lightly and looked at Logan with a pleading expression. \u201cLogan, don\u2019t be angry. Your mother didn\u2019t mean it like that. She\u2019s just worried about you.\u201d \u201cLogan, don\u2019t be angry. Your mother didn\u2019t mean it\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan raised a hand and ran it frritably through his hair before picking up his phone again. He called Vivian once more, but she still didn\u2019t answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sloane sat quietly in the passenger seat, saying nothing. She could barely contain the joy in her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As long as a seed of doubt took root in Logan\u2019s heart about Vivian, cracks would form in their relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sooner or later, Logan would give up on Vivian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana was about to speak again, but Sloane immediately shook her head at Diana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their eyes met, and calculations started to brew in their minds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the car arrived at the underground parking garage, Vivian had just finished the long tug- of\u2013war and defeated the enemy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the word \u201cVictory\u201d appeared on the screen, a triumphant smile spread across Vivian\u2019s face. She waved her phone at Kingston. \u201cBingo. I got it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, she continued, \u201cMr. Howard, how much better do you think my skills are compared to yours?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston took the phone from her hand and said leisurely, \u201cYou\u2019re just a tiny bit better. This was mostly thanks to me for laying the foundation for this win.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vivian was utterly speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He sure had some nerve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the driver parked the car, he got out and opened the door for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d been completely focused on the game and hadn\u2019t noticed that this wasn\u2019t the destination they\u2019d agreed on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian said, \u201cMr. Howard, we came to the wrong place. This isn\u2019t the Halcyon Group.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston bent down and stepped out of the car. Standing beside it, he turned back to look at her. \u201cYou expect me to meet a client like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian\u2019s gaze fell on his chest, where the coffee stains on his black shirt had already dried, leaving several marks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She awkwardly looked away. \u201cSorry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, he\u2019d been dragged into this because of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston withdrew his gaze from her and walked toward the elevator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The driver respectfully invited Vivian out of the car. \u201cMs. Hartwell, please step out.\u201d Vivian hesitated for a moment before she said softly, \u201cI won\u2019t go up. I\u2019ll just wait for you here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The driver didn\u2019t respond, nor did he close the car door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston\u2019s voice came from the direction of the elevator, echoing faintly in the open space. You keep saying you\u2019re sorry, but you show no intention of making it up to me. So, Ms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hartwell, what exactly are you apologizing for?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian\u2019s ears instantly turned red.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way Kingston spoke had a way of leaving her utterly cornered at any moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The driver smiled kindly and lowered his voice. \u201cTh\u00e9o isn\u2019t in today. Normally, he\u2019s the one who prepares Mr. Howard\u2019s outfits. I don\u2019t understand these things, so I\u2019m afraid we\u2019ll have to trouble you, Ms. Hartwell.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
