Chapter 375

Vivian finally released her grip and sneered, "Take a good look at yourself before hitting on women. Move!"

"You're amazing, Viv!"

Sophia, lounging in the passenger seat, leaned out the window like she was watching a drama unfold. "Still too soft on him. Creeps like that get off on harassing women. Should've broken his arm!"

The man paled and bolted before she finished speaking.

Vivian slid back into the driver's seat, cool as ever. "A warning's enough. I can't afford to draw attention."

"Fine, we'll play it your way."

The engine roared to life, the sleek car weaving through traffic under the afternoon sun.

Neither noticed the camera capturing the entire scene.

Hours earlier, they'd arrived at Sophia's secret penthouse downtown—a recent purchase even her brother Nathaniel knew nothing about.

"You're safe here. Stay as long as you need. Ten years, twenty—no one would find you."

Vivian smirked. "So if assassins come knocking, I just hide here and poof, they vanish?"

"With your skills?" Sophia scoffed. "Anyone dumb enough to try would be signing their own death warrant."

"Speaking of which..." Vivian's fingers darted to Sophia's ribs. "You plotting to kill me?"

Sophia shrieked with laughter, squirming away.

Grown women? More like giggling schoolgirls.

Mid-tickle fight, Vivian suddenly sat up and grabbed her phone.

"What now?" Sophia smoothed her tousled hair.

"Haven't checked on the kids or Evelyn yet."

"Adrian! Abigail!" Sophia clapped like it was Christmas. She practically glued herself to the screen.

The call connected.

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

Two cherubic faces filled the display, their voices melting Vivian's heart.

"Did you two behave? Miss me?"

Abigail blinked her starry eyes. "So much! Did you see Aunt Sophia? Does she miss me?"

"Every second, princess." Sophia blew kisses. "I'd teleport just to pinch those cheeks!"

Vivian noticed Adrian's unusual silence. "What about you, sweetheart? Cat got your tongue?"
