Chapter 210 - Chapter 210: Why Should I
When her plan failed, Vivian immediately changed her mind and gave up her original plan. She decided to approach Caroline.
She could tell that Caroline was not as cowardly and incompetent as the rumors said. On the contrary, she was not a simple person. That was why Edwin was temporarily lost in her trap, and she seemed to have placed her suspicious eyes on her.
So Vivian thought of playing along and admitting that she did what she did last night, so that she could approach Caroline in a half-true and half-false way.
Her goal was not to gain Caroline’s trust. She only needed to make Caroline unable to tell her true appearance and true purpose, so that Caroline’s attention would be distracted. That was enough.
However, Vivian did not expect Caroline to be so much more powerful than she had imagined. In just a few words, Caroline was able to detect the problem and discover her disguise.
Caroline’s merciless words pierced the deepest wound in Vivian’s heart, and Edwin’s apology shattered all her fantasies.
So, Vivian broke down!
She would not allow Edwin to bow to anyone, especially to Caroline, who she felt was especially hateful and superior.
She questioned Caroline. “Why are you standing in front of him? What right do you have to make him lower his head? All of you are high and mighty, annoying geniuses. Why do you naturally have the confidence to walk up to him and make his gaze stop for you?”
Why?
In the past, Vivian had never been able to understand this question.
She was clearly a child of the Smith family, but why was she not loved by her father? Why did the servants in the family ignore her? Why did her siblings bully her? Even the head of the Smith family, her grandfather, said that he treated her equally, but he still secretly avoided her and secretly gave good things to her other siblings.
Vivian never knew what fairness was.
She had thought that she would be free and fair after she broke away from the Smith family and the shackles of the family.
However, the cruel reality told her that the world was not as simple as she had imagined. Whether it was inside the Smith family or the outside world, it was just as dark.
She had suffered all kinds of unfair treatment in her studies and in the workplace. Perhaps it was because she had no background, or because she was a girl. For all sorts of reasons, she had never been respected or treated fairly.
Vivian, who had suffered a great blow, decided to learn from the painful experience. Since the world was dark, she would dye herself black.
Therefore, she used everything she could to climb up step by step. She became as unscrupulous as those people she hated. At the same time, her thoughts became more and more extreme.
In her heart, those who were born with everything and were high above others were extremely annoying existences. However, at the same time, she yearned to become an existence like them.
This contradictory mentality made Vivian’s personality more and more distorted, so she unconsciously disguised herself as that kind of personality.
Vivian accepted the darkness of this world and integrated herself into it. But even so, she was still very unwilling and often wanted to ask why.
In her desperate screams, Caroline seemed to see another little girl named Caroline in her memory. She was so similar to Vivian.
However, because of her appearance, the original Caroline’s life had changed. Otherwise, one day, Caroline would have become like Vivian, just like the original plot.
What was even more heartbreaking was that in the thousands of corners of the world, there were many girls like them. Some of them might become extreme people like Vivian, some of them had long withered in unknown corners, and some of them silently endured and became numb, and thus lived a mediocre life.
Caroline sighed and looked at Edwin. “Let her go first.”
Edwin looked at her disapprovingly. He was worried that Vivian, who was in a state of madness, would do something bad to Caroline.
Caroline shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine.
Seeing that she was insistent, Edwin had no choice but to let go of Vivian..
