A flashy red Lamborghini glided into the underground garage. Abruptly, a disheveled figure lunged in front of the car, bringing it to a sudden halt.
The individual obstructing the car was none other than Vivi, who had pleaded with Janet earlier that morning.
At this moment, Vivi was glaring at the car's occupant with a venomous look, shouting hysterically, "Suzanne! You monster, this is all your fault! You've ruined me completely!"
Suzanne stepped out of the car unhurriedly and remained coolly composed in the face of Vivi's frenzied outburst.
Adjusting her attire nonchalantly, Suzanne queried, "What do you mean by saying I've ruined you? We had an agreement. I instructed you to approach Janet and stage this spectacle. In return, your liquidated damages would be wiped clean. I also offered an additional 200 grand. You were quite eager to accept the term, weren't you?"
Vivi's glare intensified as she shrieked at Suzanne, "But I'm destroyed! My life is in shambles! I'm a total outcast now, with no hope of redeeming myself!"
Suzanne's smirk was full of disdain as she retorted, "Your future is your own concern, not mine. However, it's true that you've offended both the White family and the Larson family. There won't be any room for you in Barnes from here on. But with the 200 grand I gave you, you should be able to make do for a while."
Fueled by Suzanne's taunts, Vivi's face twisted even more grotesquely. "Had you not pressured me into confronting Janet, I could have apologized to her earnestly and possibly salvaged the situation! But now, all hope is lost. Everything is over. It's all your fault! Damn you!"
Suzanne cast a scornful look at her, withdrew a paper bag from her car, and flung it onto the ground with a condescending air. "Here's 200 thousand in cash. Take it and disappear from my sight. Make yourself scarce."
Two bundles of cash tumbled out. Vivi swiftly scooped up the money, clutching it tightly.
Suzanne's expression grew more disgusted as she took in Vivi's greedy demeanor, stating, "Now, get out!"
Vivi bristled, ready to retaliate, but when she met Suzanne's icy gaze, an unexpected fear gripped her. Previously, during her stint at Star Entertainment, Vivi had heard whispers about Suzanne. Rumor had it that Suzanne had powerful connections, and any Internet celebrity who dared to offend her faced severe consequences.
Vivi recalled a chilling tale of an influencer who had angered Suzanne and had subsequently been sold to a nightclub to work as a stripper, left to the mercy of obese and lecherous men.
