Chapter 668:
And even if Charles poured resources into supporting Eva, it wouldn’t change a thing. Because public opinion was already stacked against her.
Inside their car, Charles was seething, fighting the urge to smash something.
Millie kept her eyes fixed on Vivian. Her lips curved into a smile.
Vivian’s twisting of the truth and flawless performance didn’t surprise her. Moments later, the giant screen in the venue lit up as Evans Entertainment started a live-stream.
The video was from a phone, the background filled with noise.
“I’m Eva.” A woman’s voice rang out.
Vivian’s head snapped toward the screen, her eyes red. She knew Eva was about to appear on camera.
As far as Vivian was concerned, if Eva wanted to protect her future career, she’d have no choice but to stand at Vivian’s side.
Vivian waited quietly.
She knew that whether or not Eva had planned how to handle Charles later, she first had to get through this moment. Without surviving the present, there would be no “later” to think about.
Today, Eva would surely take her side.
Vivian wiped her tears and glanced at the live stream.
Once Eva told the “truth,” she could pounce on the chance to accuse Evans Entertainment and Millie of slandering her. That would be her win.
The thought brought a faint smile to her lips.
This was all part of her plan—going live now to ride the wave of attention. If she could outshine Millie, it would only push the box office for Love of Vivian even higher. A short distance away, Brandon watched her closely, his brows knitted in disapproval.
The stream came from Evans Entertainment’s official account. The camera hadn’t moved yet, only showing a blurry car interior with voices chattering in the background.

“Vivian.” Millie’s calm voice came through as she watched the stage from the live stream. “You say we’ve known each other for ages, been close friends, and even wiped each other’s tears?”
The voice felt oddly familiar to Vivian, but she couldn’t place it.
She decided it didn’t matter.
With teary eyes, she said, “Eva, have you forgotten?”
She gave a bitter little laugh. “We were so happy once. We were true friends.
Even if you betray me now for pressure or profit, you can’t erase the past.” Vivian looked into the live stream. “Please… Tell the truth.” But Eva only laughed, leaving Vivian unsettled.
“Friends?” Eva repeated with a soft laugh.
Her voice was gentle, yet it carried across the room. “Vivian. I can be friends with anyone… Except you.”
Her tone was steady, leaving no room for doubt.
Vivian froze. She hadn’t expected this turn, and tears spilled again.
She cried. “Why won’t you admit it? Are you scared of being hurt? Or is it because of your contract with Evans Entertainment?”
