Fiora never expected Vincent to help her.
She already thought badly of him, but now she was depending on him to save Mathew.
Fiora felt a little embarrassed, but she was grateful and didn’t care.
The important thing was that she wouldn’t have to spend any money and Mathew would be saved.
After all, if Mathew’s name was tarnished and his reputation ruined, she would be dragged down with it and be embarrassed.
After all, she had always boasted that Mathew was a loyal and kind man.
Even if being nice to an opponent could save her from embarrassment, Fiora would do it.
“Vincent, I want to thank you for helping me,” Fiora said in a fake, gentle tone.
“I’ll—
“Help you?” Vincent’s brows furrowed.
“What do you mean, I’ll help you?”
Fiora shrank.
“That 100 million, isn’t that for—”
Vincent’s sinister smile quickly dashed Fiora’s hopes.
“Why should I help you?
You’ve insulted me to the bone, labeled me, and demeaned me so much.
You expect me to forget all that?
Tsk tsk tsk, Lyman, you must be short-sighted.
I, Vincent Keagan, am not one to simply forget insults.
I’m a very vindictive person!”
Fiora swallowed.
“I never insulted or belittled you, in fact—”
Vincent raised his hand, gesturing for Fiora to stop.
Then he turned to Aurelie.
“Baby, do you have your phone?” Vincent asked.
“Of course,” Aurelie said.
She handed it to Vincent.
“Here.”
“Please play the recording of your conversation with that woman earlier, when we were in the car,” Vincent said softly.
Aurelie replayed the recording of their conversation with Fiora in the car.
All the insults Fiora had directed at Vincent were replayed and quickly cut off by Aurelie after all heard.
Fiora’s face turned bright red and she couldn’t argue.
The reporters jeered and jeered at her.
“Did you hear that?” Vincent said sarcastically.
“And she casually said she never insulted me.
Besides being a jerk, you also like to lie, Lyman!”
Aurelie smiled faintly and squeezed Vincent’s hand.
Her actions didn’t go unnoticed by Fiora, who was actually starting to feel jealous of her.
Vincent turned back to the reporters.
“I’ll give you 100 million, not to silence this scandal as Fiora Lyman hoped, but to make it trend online for a whole year, and then keep it circulating non-stop.
How about it?
Are you up to it?
If you’re willing and agree, we’ll discuss this deal further, but if not, whatever, I have nothing to lose.”
“What if Ms.
Lyman is willing to pay more than 100 million for the opposite?” asked a reporter.
“I heard she’s only willing to pay you 20 million,” Vincent sneered.
“What do you expect?”
Naturally, the reporters were excited and excited.
They immediately agreed, and Vincent directed them to speak with Gary as his representative.
Fiora was shaking with anger.
“You’re so cruel, Vincent Keagan!
Why are you making Mathew even worse?
You’re so unreasonable!
“So you think it’s reasonable for the boyfriend you consider the best man in town to commit all this vulgar mess?” Vincent sneered.
“Even though many people are spreading bad rumors about me, I can at least protect myself from such shameful things as those done by your best boyfriend!”
Fiora’s eyes felt hot and red.
She wanted to cry and scream, but she couldn’t.
“If you think I’m cruel, a jerk, and immoral, then what is your boyfriend doing?
You saw with your own eyes, your boyfriend sleeping with multiple men and women at once!
Is that what you call a great man?
Tsk!
Your moral standards are truly messed up!”
All of Vincent’s words were confirmed by the reporters, some of whom were still in the room.
Fiora was speechless.
“You’re too cruel to him,” Aurelie whispered, but there was a hint of laughter in her voice.
Vincent pulled Aurelie into his arms tightly.
“Hey, honey, we’re the perfect couple, aren’t we?
I openly display my cruelty, while you hide your scheming behind a gentle and sweet facade.
We’re a perfect match.”
Aurelie pouted and feigned annoyance.
“I’m a good woman.
My gentleness and sweetness aren’t just for show.
Don’t accuse me of being so bad, husband.”
Vincent became excited and kissed Aurelie on the lips, making her gasp and blush.
“We’re perfect, honey, admit it.
We’re perfect as a couple,” Vincent said softly.
Aurelie pinched Vincent’s waist as he stole another kiss on her lips.
“Hey, stop!” Fiora snapped angrily.
She couldn’t stand the sight of Aurelie and Vincent’s open display of affection right before her eyes.
“You two don’t have to show off your affection in front of me!”
Vincent laughed.
“Why not?
We’re legally married.
Intimacy is our right.
What’s your business?”
Fiora fell silent.
She realized she couldn’t fight Vincent at all.
“Vincent, how—”
“Who are you?” Vincent snapped coldly.
“You don’t know me, you insulted me, and now you dare call me by my name so disrespectfully?”
Fiora was shocked and frozen by Vincent’s outburst.
“I-I’m sorry, Mr.
Keagant.
I just wanted to ask, could you cancel the deal with that journalist?
Please?”
“Of course I can,” Vincent said arrogantly.
“As long as you kneel and apologize to my wife, maybe I’ll think about it.”
Fiora was stunned.
She had to kneel and apologize to Aurelie.
It was the last thing she wanted to do in her life.
“Why should I ask—”
“One!” Vincent counted.
“You have five to immediately kneel and apologize to my Aurelie.”
“But—”
“Two!”
“Three!”
“Four!”
“Fi–”
Fiora decided to swallow her pride and kneel before Aurelie.
It was worth it to save Mathew’s reputation and status.
“I’ll do it,” Fiora said.
“But I want everyone out of here.”
Vincent shrugged and motioned for everyone still in the suite to leave, including the women and men who had slept with Mathew.
They exited, laughing and jeering at Fiora.
Fiora knelt reluctantly.
“I’m sorry, Aurelie.
For all the wrong I’ve ever done to you.
I’m sorry.”
Fiora’s voice was low and stiff.
“I didn’t hear anything,” Vincent said.
“Why are you so stiff and insincere?”
Fiora repeated herself, and this time Vincent took out his phone and recorded the scene.
Fiora glared at Vincent.
“Why are you recording me?”
“Why not?
This is a rare moment, and I think I should keep this video as a precious memento for my Aurelie.”
Aurelie’s heart felt warm at Vincent’s thoughtful gesture.
She squeezed his hand gently.
As soon as Fiora finished apologizing, Vincent lifted Aurelie into his arms to leave.
“Hey,” Aurelie said, startled.
She wrapped both arms around Vincent’s neck.
“Why are you carrying me again?”
“Because we’re about to escape this mess, and carrying you would be much more practical,” Vincent said jokingly.
Aurelie laughed.
Fiora stared blankly at the newlyweds.
