Vivian was out of pocket money, and she saw it as a monumental betrayal.


    And after a disastrous blind date with Finley, she med the whole fiasco on Ste.


    Whatever her father had warned her about the consequences of crossing Ste? That was ancient history to her. When she spotted Ste, rage consumed her, and she lunged at her like a woman possessed. But Ste wasn''t a pushover.


    To make matters worse, Sirena wasn''t the best at breaking up fights.


    Sirena clung to Vivian, pleading, "Vivian, let it go. Stop fighting."


    Vivian struggled in Sirena''s grip, unable tond a decent punch.


    Ste seized the opportunity to scratch Vivian''s face several times and even managed a few kicks.


    Vivian was desperate to hit Ste back, but Sirena held on too tight. "Sirena, let go!" she yelled.


    With her face scratched and temper ring, Vivian decided to w back at Ste. But with Sirena holding her back, she couldn''t get near.


    Sirena kept holding her tightly, urging, "Seriously, it''s not worth it."


    If it kept up, things could really get out of hand.


    Tegan stood by, stunned by the scene, especially Sirena''s attempt at breaking up the fight.


    Stended a few more kicks before Tegan finally stepped in to help, proving more effective at separating them.


    She grabbed Vivian''s wrist, saying, "Vivian, remember you''re a Warner. You have to keep yourposure."


    Vivian was already immobilized by Sirena, and with Tegan joining in, she waspletely restrained.


    To anyone watching, it might have seemed like a proper intervention. But by the time they were done, Ste looked pristine, while Vivian was a mess, her face scratched up.


    Alerted by themotion, security from the mall hurried over to finally separate the two.


    Vivian''s hair was messy, looking like she''d just rolled out of bed. She pointed a trembling finger at Ste, struggling to find the words. "You, you..."


    "Come on, Vivian. Let it go," Sirena said, trying to lower her hand, worried she''d break a finger. Vivian red at Sirena, her fury reaching a boiling point. "Let it go? Whose side are you on?"


    Tegan stood there, speechless. She wasn''t sure whose side Sirena was on, but she was certainly skilled at restraining Vivian.


    t belongs


    Caught off-guard by Vivian''s outburst, Sirena''s expression shifted from shock to anger. "Vivian, that''s enough."


    "Enough? Are you siding with Ste?


    Let me tell you. Even if you do, it won''t help. Jaxon doesn''t even like her, and he''s got a kid now." Vivian fumed. "You and Jaxon? That will never happen."


    What is the meaning of going wild, making frivolous usations, and biting recklessly? This is what''s happening right now!


    It would have been fine if Jaxon hadn''t been mentioned, but the moment he was, Sirena''s face darkened as well. She directly threw the napkin she had used to wipe Vivian''s mouth, bloody from the bite earlier, right back onto Vivian''s face.


    Vivian red at Sirena fiercely. Then, she turned her eyes to Tegan and Ste, "You two wait and see; I won''t let this go."


    Ste and Tegan exchanged nces, their minds buzzing. Without a word, they both whipped out their phones.


    Ste called Ronald, and Tegan dialed Uriah.


    Ronald picked up first. "Hey, Star."


    Steunched into her tale. "Ronald, someone called me a dog for the Lugar family."


    Uriah answered Tegan''s call next.


    Tegan wasted no time. "Uriah, someone said I was a dog fed scraps by the Horner family." Vivian was bbergasted.


    Sirena nced at Ste and Tegan with disbelief.


    Wait, what? Were they tattling? And why? They weren''t even the ones who got hit.


    Vivian was incredulous. "Hey! I''m the one who got beat up here, and you two are whining?"


    She was on the brink of losing it.


    Look at her! She got the bruises and scratches, while Ste and Tegan were untouched and still tattling? Ste began to sob theatrically into the phone, "It was Finley''s blind date. She hit me."


    Vivian was speechless, utterly bbergasted.
