He wondered if Sean was really planning to let her die out here tonight.
He glanced at Sean, hesitating.
It wasn’t that he felt sorry for Vivian. She was vicious and ruthless, with blood on her hands. Compared to the things she had done to innocent people, what she was endring now hardly counted as punishment
But it she died at Sean’s hands, it would be hand to explain to Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Sr.
Still, Sean’s expression remained blank, showing no intention of stapping
Lake couldn’t tell what he was thinking. He knew just how much Charlotte meant to Sean. He wouldn’t be surprised if Sean was ready to kill Vivian himself, just to avenge her…
But what about Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Sr.?
Vivian was still their adopted daughter, and Mrs. Jasper Sr. had always doted on her. No doubt, in their eyes, no matter what crimes she had committed, she should be handed over to the legal system—not dealt with like this.
For a moment, Luke thought Sean really was poing to let Vivian freeze to death in the cold snowy night
Then suddenly, Sean gave him a hand signal.
Luke understood instantly and spoke into the walkie–talkie. “That’s enough. Bring it down
The helicopter began its descent.
Vivian was now pale with cold, her lips bluish–black. Ice clung to her eyelashes and hair.
She lay motionless on the ground, completely still like a corpsie.
Sean said coldly, “Get a medic. Don’t let her die that easily.”

Vivian was stabilized after emergency
cy treatment.
She now lay in the compound’s infirmary–barely alive, but alive nonetheless.
The next day, Sean made a trip to the Jasper family estate.
Lillian was having tea in the living room. Seeing Sean, she looked up in surprise. “Sean, what brings you back?“”
Sean sat down on the sofa, crossing his legs casually. “Has Dad not returned yet?”
She eyed him. “Is something wrong? Do you need to speak to him?
“Yes.” Sean’s voice was calm and even. “I just called him. He should be arriving soon.”
“What is it about?”
He replied without emotion, “It’s about expelling Vivian from the Jasper family.”
Lillian’s eyes widened “You caught her?”
“When?”
a few days ago, Lillian had been livid upon learning Vivian had been working with Joseph.
She had planned to beat some sense into her before handing her over to Mr. Jasper Sr.–but the men she had sent returned empty–handed, saying Vivian had escaped

And as for Mrs. Jasper Sr., she had refused to believe her beloved adopted granddaughter would
When the truth came out, she had been so distraught that her health flared up again, landing her in the hospital. She had only just been discharged yesterday
“She was brought back from Atlantis yesterday
Lillian looked shaken. “Have you told Grandpa and Grandma?”
“Yes. Grandpa said he won’t be able to come back and has left the matter entirely to me. Grandma’s been informed roo.“.
Lillian let out a sigh. “Your grandmother just got out of the hospital. You shouldn’t have”
She paused, frowning. “You know how much she spoils Vivian. She’ll do whatever she can to protect her.”
Sean gave a cold smile, “So what if she does? Not even Grandma can overturn my decision.”
