Chapter 499 The Third Party
Amelia totally didn't expect to bump into Vivian while she was out shopping at the mall.
She'd done some digging on Vivian recently and knew what she looked like, so she recognized her right away.
Man, sometimes the world is just way too small.
Seeing Amelia's reaction, Vivian sauntered over with a smirk and said, "So you know who I am, huh? Looks like you've been keeping tabs on me."
Vivian had heard through the grapevine that Owen's family had caught wind of something and were snooping around, causing a bit of a ruckus.
She thought it was Owen's wife, Paige Martinez, who had found out, but turns out it was Amelia.
Well, whatever, that works too.
Vivian didn't care if Amelia found out, 'cause she wasn't happy with how things were. As the president's daughter, she wanted the treatment she deserved; that was only fair.
Amelia's face went pale instantly.
She hadn't expected to meet Vivian face-to-face so soon, totally catching her off guard.
Amelia scoffed, "Your servant acts just like you. They say like master, like dog."
The servant immediately got pissed and shouted, "Who are you calling a dog? Watch your mouth."
"I'm talking to Vivian. Who do you think you are to interrupt? Get lost."
Vivian didn't let Amelia's words get to her. Dealing with Amelia would be a walk in the park for her.
Vivian fiddled with the branded bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile, "I know you're mad, but it won't do you any good. I'm here, and that's a fact. You just gotta deal with it."
After all, over the years, Amelia had way more than she did.
"Vivian, let me tell you, don't get too full of yourself. I've seen plenty of women like you. If you think you can take away the Richardson family's wealth, you're dreaming. If it weren't for my mom, my dad wouldn't be where he is today. Everything my dad has belongs to my mom. You won't get a penny."
"Is that so? But it's not up to you. Paige has long stepped back, and now Owen calls the shots. When the time comes, he can give the assets to whoever he wants."
Vivian said this on purpose to rile Amelia up, hoping to catch her slipping.
Amelia was instantly enraged and raised her hand to hit.
But at that moment, Susanna grabbed Amelia's hand and said, "Don't stoop to her level. You'll just dirty your own hands."
It was only then that Vivian noticed the woman sitting on the nearby sofa.
Seeing Susanna, Vivian was first taken aback, then showed a smug expression as she spoke, "So you're the one who leaked the info to Amelia?"
Susanna said with a half-smile, "After all, there's no such thing as a secret that stays hidden forever. How long did you think you could keep your identity a secret? You should be grateful I did this."
Vivian laughed loudly, covering her mouth. "You're right. I never intended to hide my identity. I want everyone to know who I am so I don't have to keep hiding and being looked down upon by people like you."
Amelia said angrily, "So what if Susanna told me? Your shady background isn't something to brag about. You're just a despised mistress."
Amelia thought Vivian was way too full of herself.
Did she seriously think that being a side chick and having a kid would let her waltz into the Richardson family?
Owen's not about to ditch Paige and marry some young girl just to keep his spot as president.
Vivian's face turned icy. "What right do you have to say that to me? If Paige hadn't been the homewrecker who stole Owen, I wouldn't be living like this. Everything you have should've been mine."
"That's a load of crap. You say my mom stole Dad? You're the one trying to steal him now."
Amelia found Vivian's words kinda off.
Hearing this, Vivian raised an eyebrow and looked at Susanna. "So you didn't tell her the truth? You just let her think I'm Owen's mistress?"
Amelia looked at the two of them, confused. "You two know each other?"
Vivian smirked and replied, "We more than know each other; we're pretty tight."
Amelia turned to Susanna and asked, "What does she mean? What's her deal with my dad?"
Susanna hesitated and explained, "It's a long story. Owen threatened me to keep quiet. So last time, I only told you there was a woman and a kid in that room, hoping you'd dig into it yourself. After all, it's your family matter. But it seems you got the wrong idea."
Vivian wanted to pin the blame on her, but no way was Susanna letting that happen. She wouldn't give Vivian the chance.
Amelia was on the edge of losing it. "So what's her deal with my dad? And that little boy, is he my dad's kid?"
Vivian laughed. "You're asking the wrong question. You shouldn't be asking if that little boy is Owen's kid; you should be asking if I'm Owen's kid."
"What? What did you just say? You're my dad's kid? No way. You're just my dad's side chick. How could my dad have a kid as old as you?"
Amelia had looked into Vivian and found out she was a few years older than her. How could she be Owen's daughter?
If that were true, it would mean Owen had cheated a long time ago.
Vivian said smugly, "That's right. I'm Owen's daughter, and he and my mom were first loves. They knew each other long before Paige. If anyone's the homewrecker, it's Paige. She wrecked my mom and Owen's relationship."
"Shut up. My mom isn't like that. When she got together with my dad, he was single and never mentioned your mom."
"That's because your dad felt too guilty to mention it."
"You're lying. Your mom must've tried to climb the social ladder by getting pregnant on purpose and not telling my dad. She wanted to use the kid to blackmail him, but her plan flopped, didn't it? My dad didn't acknowledge you because he hates being played."
Vivian's face changed instantly upon hearing this.
Amelia really knew Owen. When Vivian had found Owen back then, he was furious and only gave her some money to get rid of her, never acknowledging her.
Why did he treat her like this?
Vivian said angrily, "You're the one lying. Your mom, Paige, knew Owen had a girlfriend but went after him anyway, wrecking their relationship."
