Kicked Out, Flash-Married, and Now He Won't Let Me Go
Chapter 124: Take Her AwayChapter 124: Chapter 124: Take Her Away
「In the afternoon.」
Vivian Lowell logged onto X and posted a statement.
It stated that the last two designs in the "Swan Design" series, which the Lowell Family had previously provided to a foreign luxury brand, were suspected of plagiarism.
And what they had plagiarized was one of her own previous works.
Furthermore, Vivian would be pursuing legal action against the Lowell Family for maliciously editing videos to spread rumors about her, promising to make those behind it pay the price.
Along with the statement, Vivian posted a draft of the legal document Julian Faulkner had given her, with the key sections censored.
But netizens could still tell that Vivian’s document was authentic. She was definitely going to sue the Lowell Family and the designer who had plagiarized her work.
The moment the statement was published, it blew up.
Vivian had already been the target of a smear campaign by the Lowell Family on X recently, and on top of that, the news that she and Julian Faulkner were married had just been exposed.
Vivian could now be considered a trending topic, her popularity even surpassing that of some minor celebrities.
Vivian could sense that paparazzi were often lurking around the Faulkner Group’s building. Fortunately, Julian Faulkner wasn’t useless, and those reporters had mostly been dealt with.
As a result, Vivian’s normal life remained undisturbed.
After her post on X went viral, Vivian skimmed through the reactions.
The majority of people supported her decision to sue the Lowell Family. Just that morning, they had seen the complete dashcam footage that Julian Faulkner had retrieved.
Robert Lowell and Sharon Galahad’s sudden appearance had been intentional!
They wanted to blackmail Vivian, profit from her, and intimidate her. Afterward, they specifically edited the footage to favor their narrative.
After Julian Faulkner posted the clarification, it was only natural for netizens to agree with the statement Vivian released that afternoon.
In the comment threads, they condemned Robert Lowell and Sharon Galahad, calling them utterly shameless vultures.
Of course...
...a small minority—whether they were paid trolls hired by Robert Lowell and Sharon Galahad or just genuinely clueless—were still criticizing Vivian.
Vivian couldn’t be bothered with them.
She had already noticed that the netizens’ eyes were sharp. Without her having to say a thing, people were already confronting these trolls.
Things were progressing smoothly.
Vivian’s phone was ringing nonstop with calls, mostly from Robert Lowell, Sharon Galahad, and Mason Grant.
She had no idea where they got so many different numbers. Eventually, Vivian got so annoyed she simply enabled whitelist mode on her phone.
Only numbers on her whitelist could get through; all others were automatically blocked.
With that, the world finally fell silent.
Julian Faulkner was by Vivian’s side.
Naturally, Julian noticed Vivian’s small actions.
"Feeling annoyed?"
Julian asked, his tone gentle and tinged with concern.
Vivian’s first instinct was to deny it, but when she turned to look at him, she saw how earnest and warm his eyes were.
The words of denial died on her lips.
"Yeah, a little."
Vivian leaned back in her chair, stretching lazily. "It’s frustrating knowing they have ill intentions but not being able to just yell back at them."
"I have to go through the legal process first and watch them run rampant for a few more days. How could I not be annoyed?"
’But...’
’Among the calls that just came in, I recognized a few numbers from the media.’
’They probably want to interview me, right?’
’Get some firsthand information while the story is still hot, piggyback on the hype, and join in on denouncing the Lowell Family?’
Vivian didn’t need the media for now.
She already had her own plan.
When the time came to make certain things public, she would hold a press conference.
"If you’re tired, let’s not worry about work for a bit. The sun will set in about two hours. I know a place with a beautiful view of the sunset. Do you want to go?"
’Watch the sunset?’
Vivian was a little surprised.
She had always thought Julian Faulkner was a true workaholic. To him, resting probably just meant closing his eyes and sleeping.
’Watching a sunset...’
’He really knows how to enjoy life!’
"Okay."
Vivian agreed, a little curious about where Julian would take her.
Hearing her answer, he took out his phone, presumably to text Vance Wyatt and have him make preparations.
「Fifteen minutes later.」
Vivian and Julian got into a car and headed for the outskirts of the city.
As they reached the suburbs, the traffic gradually thinned out.
Julian led Vivian to the front of a construction site.
"Huh?"
Vivian looked around, and something suddenly clicked. She asked, "Isn’t this the amusement park that a major Aethelburg company was building in partnership with a foreign one?"
"I heard it’s not finished yet. This is where you brought me?"
Julian nodded and explained, "The major company you just mentioned, the one partnering with the foreign firm, happens to be the Faulkner Group."
"It’s a costly project, expected to be completed by the end of the year and open for business before the New Year. Right now... you’re the very first guest."
"My VVV-IP guest. Satisfied?"
Vivian was very satisfied.
To be honest, she loved this kind of theme park, including the one in Valeria.
It was just that she was usually too busy with work and never had time to visit.
Now...
Julian said he was taking her to watch the sunset, but where exactly inside?
Vivian was a little confused, but Julian had already taken her hand and was leading her into the park through a staff entrance.
As they walked, Vivian saw many familiar buildings and various themed areas, many of which she recognized from movies she’d seen.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Vivian said with a grin to Julian when she saw a themed area she particularly liked.
Julian was silent for a moment, as if he didn’t know what to do with her, then asked, "What’s wrong? Are you trying to kill me?"
It was just a sudden whim on Vivian’s part.
’Take his life...’
’What would I do with Julian’s life?’
"No, no, no."
Fearing Julian might misunderstand, Vivian laughed and changed the subject. "Speaking of which, once the park opens, does this mean I can come and play here often?"
"So, as a boss here, I’ll get to use the express pass every time, right? And can I come eat at the restaurant buffets whenever I want?"
Vivian was suddenly filled with anticipation.
Julian sighed.
He pulled a gold card directly from his suit jacket pocket and handed it to Vivian.
"Yes. Anything you can think of. The express pass, the buffets, or even the suites. As long as you like it, this card can make it happen. What do you think? Still satisfied?"
