"ughh!! Where do I even start?" Vivianne sighed, leaning back slightly in her chair as her gaze drifted toward the ceiling of the chamber.
The earlier playfulness in her demeanor had faded, replaced by a weariness that hinted at how tangled the situation truly was.
The ceiling above reflected the soft ambient light of the room, but her eyes were unfocused, clearly searching her memory rather than admiring the architecture.
After a brief pause, she straightened her posture and leaned forward, resting her elbows lightly on the table.
"Remember, Katherine got kidnapped recently!!" she said, her tone sharpening as she forced herself back into the present.
Then, as if another thought collided with the first, she tilted her head slightly and added casually,
"By the way, how is my daughter doing?? Has she started bullying others already? hehe."
Her question earned her tense expressions from everyone.
