Chapter 164
“Exactly” Paisley looked at Millie’s parents. If you’ve made a mistake, you should apologize”
Vivian’s face turned pale, her teeth clenched tightly. There was no way she would apologize to that vixen and her daughter.
She had miscalculated, thinking the cameras wouldn’t capture her actions. She hadn’t expected them to catch her foot in the act!
Before she could say anything, a sharp slap landed on her face. Caught off guard, Vivian fell sideways and hit the ground in an undignified heap. Her cheek burned, and her ears rang-
Stunned, she looked up at her husband, unable to believe he had struck her in front of everyone. “You hit me?”
Millie was so scared that she started crying out loud
Other parents quickly stood up and tried to stop Nate, urging him to calm down. No one expected things to escalate this way.
Who would have thought that Vivian intentionally smashed that bottle of wine and framed Rena for it? What was her goal in doing this?
“Are you crazy? Why did you destroy that bottle of wine! Do you know you’ve ruined my job too? he yelled, glaring at his wife with bloodshot eyes.
“It’s just a bottle of wine! You’re hitting me over a bottle of wine!” Vivian shouted, her emotions running high as she propped herself up on the table. “You can buy a few more next year. It’s not like you can’t get them!”
There’s
‘s no next year!” Nate shouted uncontrollably. If his contract didn’t get renewed, he would be unemployed next year.
Vivian paused, beginning to understand what her husband meant. Regret filled her heart, and she turned to glare at Paisley. “It’s all your fault!”
Paisley was completely confused. “What’s my fault! Mrs. Morgan, you’re the one who invited Rena and me to your daughter’s birthday”
She had let all the sarcastic remarks slide earlier, focusing on the kids‘ friendship, but now that the truth was out, why was she being blamed?
“If it weren’t for you trying to seduce my husband in the bathroom, I would never have been so impulsive Vivian blurted out in anger.
Paisley instantly understood, So, this was the core of the issue.
She scoffed. “Mrs. Morgan, you need to back up your accusations with evidence. What you’re doing now is defamation, and I have the right to hold you accountable”
“How am I defaming you? Isabella sawit Vivian pointed to Isabella, asking her to testify on Vivian’s behalf.
Isabella didn’t expect Vivian to drag her into this and felt awkward. “I did ser Ms. Sutton talking with Millie’s dad when I went to the bathroom,” she said hesitantly.
Paisley looked at Isabella. So, this was where everything had started.
“This bathroom is shared, and I’m sure there’s surveillance that can show what happened around the sink. We can ask the manager here to check the footage and see what really happened.” As Paisley spoke, she stared at Nate, making him feel uneasy.
He knew exactly what happened–it wasn’t Ms. Sutton who was seducing him, but rather him making advances toward her. If that footage were shown publicly, it would be like rubbing his face in the dirt.
Kevin tugged at his wife. “What nonsense are you talking about! This whole mess is your fault!”
“How is it my fault?” Isabella quickly rebutted. She wasn’t going to take the blame for this. “If Ms. Sutton had been acting properly, I wouldn’t have said anything”
“Besides, it was Vivian who said it–Ms. Sutton is single and doesn’t have a proper job, so she’s just looking for a rich man to latch onto Paisley couldn’t help but laugh. She didn’t know that being single and raising her daughter alone was now gossip material for others. Once the conversation was out in the open, Vivian no longer tried to hide her feelings. “Yeah, I sakl that. You’re single and don’t have a steady job- how are you supporting your daughter!
“You just want to find a rich nun to be your meal ticket, right My husband is so great, so you want to women like you before
make a move on him, don’t you? I’ve seen
Paisley looked at Vivian and felt nothing but sadness and pity, even more so than she had for herself in the p given everything to this man.

At that moment, Paisley
All her pride and achievements came from him. But this man turned out to be so disgraceful.

“Vivian, why can’t I raise my child on my own! I don’t need any man to support my life,” she
sald
That sounds good, but you don’t even have a steady job. What proves that what you’re saying is true?” Vivian mocked.
“Exactly, everyone can say nice things, Isabella chimed in.
“But why should I prove anything to you? Paisley didn’t fall into the trap of proving herself to them, nor did she need to.
At that moment, Lucy rushed over, out of breath. “Tm here! Luckily, the studio isn’t too far. Am I late!”
done
Lucy casually placed two boules of Cloud Crest Reserve in front of Paisley, as if they were the most ordinary things in the world. “I was worried bottle wouldn’t be enough, so I brought two.
She glanced around at the parents and kids, grinning “Looks like I was right. Good thing I brought an extra bottle. With so many people, one bottle wouldn’t be enough”
Kevin came over and closely examined the two bottles of wine. “Hey, no kidding, these look exactly like the bottle Vivian brought”
Other parents gathered around to take a closer look. Sure enough, they were identical, even the anti–counterfeit marks on the bottles were the same. When Vivian showed the bottle earlier, she had even pointed out the anti–counterfeit mark
“Is this for real?” Isabella was skeptical, leaning in to check. “What if it’s fake1“
“It can’t be. Look at that anti–counterfeit mark. It’s exactly the same,” Kevin pointed
Kabella examined it and nodded repeatedly. It was indeed identical. At that moment, her gaze toward Paisley changed.
Ms. Sutton had actually brought Cloud Crest Reserve, and not just one, but two bottles. She was stunned and looked at Vivian, nodding at her. “It really is the same”
Vivian’s expression became strange. She tugged at her husband. “Go check if that wine is really genuine”
Even though she was angry, she still remembered what her husband had said about his job situation. If these bottles were real, her husband could give them away as gifts.
Now that the truth was out, she won’t sure if Paisley would still be willing to give her the wine. Thinking about it, Vivian started to regret speaking so impulsively earlier. She had put herself in a very difficult position.
Still furning. Nate was being dragged by his wife to look at the two bottles of wine.
“There’s no way they’re real. He lifted his gaze reluctantly–only to freeze when he saw Lucy standing beside Paisley. “M–Ms. Green?”
