Vivian Walters naturally didn’t dare to tell the truth. Although the swelling on her face had subsided, the bruises were still there.
However, unlike her previous pig-faced look, Vivian’s skin was now fair and delicate. Even with bruises, she looked pitiful and sympathetic.
“Forget it, this isn’t your fault. You’re carrying Austin’s child in your belly, and it’s fortunate that it wasn’t hurt.”
Michelle Carter now harbored extreme hatred for Lily Gray and had slightly changed her perception of Vivian, who had been remembering to track and take care of Austin during the dangerous times.
She was about to call Brandon Lucas when a commotion broke out outside the door.
“Ma’am, the young master… the young master has returned…”
Hearing the butler’s shout, Michelle hurried to the hall.
Vivian followed with a panicked expression.
She never would have thought that Austin Lucas would return on his own.
Damn it!
She hadn’t had time to get her story straight with Austin yet. In order to make a good impression in front of Michelle, she had just deliberately distorted the facts.
She was confident that she could get Austin to follow her lead.
But the prerequisite was to give her time to “serve” him well.
Vivian anxiously followed and her heart was in turmoil.
When she accompanied Michelle to the hall, she saw Austin being helped in by a group of servants.
“Austin, my son… how dare they hurt you like this!” Michelle threw herself beside Austin, her delicate eye makeup ruined by her tears.
“Mom, I’m fine… it’s nothing.” Austin was a man, after all, and he gritted his teeth despite the pain in his left hand.
“Son, don’t worry. 1’11 avenge you! That little bitch, Lily Gray, I will settle this score with her!”
Austin frowned at Michelle’s words.
Although his injuries were indirectly caused by Lily Gray, the person who ordered them was Mr. Lucas.
With this thought, his gaze shifted to Vivian’s face.
Seeing her significantly improved complexion, he spoke coldly, “You sure can run fast… knowing to come to the Lucas family for help.”
Austin’s face was grim. He remembered how this woman had cowered in the corner when he was taken away by Sebastian Lucas VII.
“Austin, 1… I’m of course concerned about you. I came here early in the morning to notify your mother. I’m worried that something might happen to you…”
Vivian’s words were cut off by Austin’s livid face, “Early?! Vivian Walters, where were you when I was taken away by those people in front of you? Hiding in the corner and pretending not to see, what else did you do?!”
“And… from last night until now, more than a few hours have passed, and you dare to brazenly say that you came early to notify my mother?”
Seeing Austin’s anger, Vivian immediately cried and explained, “Austin, 1… I was actually just released by them as well. After they caught you, they caught me too, I…”
“Wait a minute!” Michelle suddenly rushed over and inserted herself between the two.
She pointed at Vivian and asked Austin, “Austin, is what you just said true?!
This woman didn’t try to save you but hid instead?”
Austin didn’t want to lose face in front of his mother, but it was an undeniable fact that the woman he had chosen had hidden and pretended not to know him when he was in danger.
He closed his eyes and nodded slowly, “Yes. She hid, as if she didn’t want to know me. Not only that… 1 also learned that she was released by them very early. They didn’t bother her at all, a woman..”
