Looking at Harvey incredulously, Rachel was really upset with his words.
Though Vivian knew Harvey was a heartless man, she did not expect him to treat Emma in such a way.
How I wish I could drain all the blood from my body so that I could sever ties with this scumbag!
"You are a heartless man!" Vivian remarked sarcastically.
Harvey disagreed and responded, "What's wrong with that? Isn't that what you wish for? How dare you scold me!"
Vivian did not bother to speak anymore and ordered, pointing at the door, "Get out now!"
Harvey was bursting with anger. "Vivian, no matter how much you hate me, I'm still your father!"
"I don't care if you're my father. We don't want to see you. I'm asking you to leave now!" Vivian replied in an agitated tone.
It left Harvey no choice but to leave sulkily, as he was afraid of Finnick and tried to avoid any conflict with Vivian.
Looking at Harvey's back, she had a lingering sadness in her eyes while recalling the past. Vivian hated him for being such a coward and despicable man.
When she was young, Harvey did not stand up for her whenever Emma bullied her.
He just watched her being bullied and was always on Emma's side. Harvey even scolded and beat her.
If I didn't meet Finnick, mom and I would still be bullied by them and live a hard life.
Meanwhile, Rachel's eyes were prickling with tears after she saw a glint of sadness in her daughter's eyes.
Vivian comforted Rachel and put her to bed before she left.
When she got home, Finnick was not there.
Suddenly, Vivian received a message from Finnick: I'll be working overtime. She then grabbed some food and chatted to Peggy on WhatsApp while lying on the bed.
Peggy was her classmate, who was working in Sunshine City as well.
She was the only person who believed in Vivian when the latter was framed and despised by the
others in the university.
Peggy sent Vivian a text message: Hey what's your schedule like tomorrow?
After thinking for a while, she replied: Nothing much to do. Peggy then invited Vivian to her house.
