Remarriage Failed Again Today

Vivian Yates gave a dry laugh. "I’m not brave enough for this. Why don’t you go on your own? I’ll just watch from here."

’Not brave enough?’

’Of course I know you’re scared. If you weren’t, why would I have spent money on you?’

Ashley Grant urged, "Come on, let’s go. I already paid, so don’t let the money go to waste."

"Why don’t you ask Annabelle to go with you?" Vivian Yates’s face had gone pale, whether from fear or something else. "I’m really too scared for this."

’What a joke. She’s been having fun with Annabelle Linton all day, but the second a dangerous ride comes up, she asks me to go with her? The nerve.’

Ashley Grant let go of her arm, her expression turning cold. "Do you hate me?"

"I don’t..."

Ashley Grant cut her off, her tone serious. "I know you hate me, and I admit I wasn’t very friendly to you before... You probably don’t know her, but there used to be this bitch named Vivian Yates who was always trying to ruin my brother’s relationship with my sister-in-law. She was a truly disgusting piece of work, and her holier-than-thou act was enough to make you puke."

Vivian Yates was left speechless.

If she didn’t know for a fact that Ashley had no idea who she was, Vivian Yates would have thought Ashley was doing this on purpose.

Ashley was, of course, making a veiled attack. Seeing the color drain from Vivian’s face, she continued deliberately, "Then, around the time my brother and sister-in-law got divorced, you almost married my brother. So I just assumed you were trying to break them up too, and I started treating you just like her. That’s why I disliked you so much. But after spending these past few days with you, I’ve realized you’re actually a great person. I want to be your friend. I hope you can let bygones be bygones, okay?"

’To be called a bitch right to her face without being able to refute it... The feeling was enough to make a person physically ill with rage.’

Vivian Yates felt an uncontrollable fire of rage igniting in her chest, burning hotter and hotter until it felt like it was scorching her from the inside out.

She chanted to herself over and over. ’Endure it now so I don’t have to later. A moment of impatience can ruin a grand plan. I can’t let a single impulse destroy everything.’

Vivian Yates replied graciously, "Of course. It would be my honor to go on the ride with you, Miss Grant, but..."

"Then come with me."

"I..."

"You don’t want to? Are you looking down on me? Or was everything you just said a lie?" Ashley Grant stared at her, her expression growing darker by the second.

Vivian Yates understood.

’So the little bitch was doing it on purpose. She was just finding creative ways to mess with me.’

’If I tell her I’m too scared to go, she’ll call me a hypocrite or throw one of those other accusations at me. But I really am too scared to go with her!’

’Now I’m really caught between a rock and a hard place. I can’t move forward or back... If I refuse, knowing Ashley Grant, that little bitch will definitely make a huge scene. What’s more, Leona Grant might just side with his sister and send me packing.’

’Ashley Grant!’

Vivian Yates was furious but didn’t dare let it show. In the end, she forced a beaming smile and said, "You’re such a kidder, Miss Grant. How could I possibly think that? Tell you what, I’ll go with you. I’m terrified, but to prove my sincerity, I’m willing to give it a try."

Hearing this, a faint smile played on Ashley Grant’s lips. She grinned and replied, "Great."

’Just you watch. I’m going to destroy you today!’

With the staff’s help, they both got into their safety gear. Standing on the high platform and looking down at the seemingly bottomless drop below, Vivian Yates felt her head spin. She wanted to back out.

"AHHH—"

Just as she was about to protest, a sudden, hard shove from behind sent her plummeting!
