Vivian descended slowly.
A cold smile rested on her face.
"Have you seen the new maid before?"
The question sounded casual.
But Alexander immediately sensed something darker beneath it.
He glanced at Elena.
Then back at Vivian.
The pieces began falling into place.
Vivian had always been controlling.
Demanding.
Obsessed with appearances.
But Alexander never imagined she could be cruel.
Now he noticed bruises hidden beneath Elena's sleeves.
Fresh injuries.
Signs of mistreatment.
And suddenly, the truth became impossible to ignore.
Alexander excused himself and walked into his office.
The moment the door closed, he picked up his phone.
His voice was calm.
Dangerously calm.
"Freeze all accounts linked to Vivian."
The financial director on the other end didn't ask questions.
He simply replied,
"Understood."
