Chapter 1572 The Consequence Of Harming Their Princess
The decorative statue was a statue of the Venus Goddess. Vivian bought it earlier for her convenience. She had been using it as a model whenever she designed clothes or jewelry at home. It was placed in the living room all this while.
Somehow, it never occurred to Vivian that the decorative statue would be a threat to her.
Surrounded by the guests, Vivian stood like an elegant princess in front of her birthday cake with candles lit. She closed her eyes gradually amid the best wishes from her friends and Adalyn.
At the same time, Sonia helped to turn off the light for her.
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…” Everyone started singing birthday songs joyfully for her.
Meanwhile, Vivian made a wish with her hands crossed and eyes shut. Ah! I wish…
Creak!
All of a sudden, a weird voice sounded out of nowhere, startling everyone in the total darkness.
When everyone turned instinctively, it almost scared the crap out of them. One of the girls seemed to have bumped into the decorative statue unwittingly, causing it to sway!
“Vivi!” Panic-stricken, everyone shrieked at the top of their lungs. They foresaw Vivian would sustain severe injury if the heavy statue tumbled over.
Dwayne was a bundle of nerves and was about to dash forward to drag Vivian aside.
Even so, someone stretched out her hands and grabbed hold of him tightly. Dwayne was vexed when he turned and found out Helena was the one grasping his arm.
His face turned grim, but he could not shrug her off in time.
On the other hand, Vivian finally sensed something awry. She opened her eyes and stared at everyone around her, perplexed. Little did she realize that the heavy statue was tumbling down and was only a few inches away from her!
“No! Vivi!” Everyone was on pins and needles at what was going to befall Vivian.
At the eleventh hour, a black figure appeared out of nowhere and darted toward Vivian. Like a bolt of lightning, he wrapped his arms around her waist and jumped aside swiftly.
Thud!
The next moment, the statue collapsed on the floor with an ear-splitting sound and broke into a few pieces! What a petrifying scene!
Everyone was rooted to the ground and at a loss of words for quite a long time, except Helena.
Hitting the roof, she glared at the figure who spoiled her plan with her flaring eyes. It was as though the intense resentment in her eyes had turned into a dagger that could rip him apart at any time. D*mn it! How could he have the audacity to spoil my plan? Doesn’t he know who I am? I’m Ms. Helena from the prominent Goldin family!
Nonetheless, her heart thumped when the light of the living room was switched on again. Right that instant, a middle-aged man swiftly turned as though he was a beast moving agilely in the jungle. His hard-arched eyebrows and crew cut suddenly sent an inexplicable shiver down everyone’s spine!
They could not resist but wonder who he was.
After regaining her composure, Vivian stammered, “Mr. Frost, w-why are you here?”
The moment she saw the man she had not seen for ages, tears started to well up in her eyes.
Karl put her down and patted her back gently. “Ms. Vivian, I’m around all the time.”
Everyone gasped as they felt a chill down their spine.
“Ah! Is he calling her Ms. Vivian? Then he must be someone from her family! Look at his intimidating vibe! There’s even a listening device with a blinking light in his ear! He’s clearly her bodyguard!” Someone pointed out right away.
Again, everyone held their breath and could not utter any words.
When Helena realized Karl’s identity, blood drained from her face in an instant. Nonplussed, she staggered and was about to stumble. D*mn it! How could she have a bodyguard here?
“Ms. Vivian, you’d better go up and have a good rest. Just let me settle everything here,” he advised Vivian.
“Okay…” Vivian took his advice and went up to her room.
Right after she left, everyone in the living room discovered that a few men in black appeared out of nowhere from the villa. All of them were exuding an intimidating vibe like Karl and seemed to be emanating sheer frigidness. Devoid of expression, there was only viciousness in their eyes.
Mustering up her courage, Adalyn asked, “Sir, what are you…”
“Lady Adalyn, I’m sorry, but we need your co-operation. It’s not an accident. We suspect someone has been pulling off some tricks in the dark. Not to mention, Ms. Vivian is the apple of my boss’ eye. Now that she has such a scare during her birthday party, I must get to the bottom of the matter for him!” Karl explained coldly.
In the next second, all the doors to the villa were blocked. Shortly after, the men in black started to have a body search for the guests.
Everyone broke out in cold sweat. So someone caused the incident?
None of them had the audacity to fight back against the men in black. Apart from that, they finally had the opportunity to see what it meant to be a real princess.
No doubt, Vivian had been low profile in her school.
On the other hand, Helena had been having her nose in the air and spreading rumors about her. Subsequently, they thought the latter was a princess by the name.
