The Wedding Where The Bride Was Swapped While I Was Underwater Chapter 07

Ethan’s stare pinned the guard in place.

“Tell me exactly what happened.”

Before the man could answer, Vivian’s knees buckled. She fell hard onto the sand a short distance

away.

Adrian immediately turned. When he saw her pale face and the sweat on her forehead/he humed over and stepped between her and the scene.

“Don’t look, Vivian. This will only frighten you.”

Ethan’s eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched. Yet when Vivian looked ready to faint, his

voice still softened.

“Take her back to the hotel. Nina is already gone. There’s no reason to traumatize Vivian too.”

Vivian lowered her head and bit her lip. She turned to leave.

The kneeling guard suddenly shouted after her.

“Ms. Reed, you can’t leave! What will happen to me?

“Vivian Reed told me to do it!

“She ordered me to loosen the connection on the tank. When I reported the leak, it was real. Even if Ms. Bennett hadn’t pulled out the regulator, she still would have died.”

The entire beach went silent.

Vivian spun around, panic filling her eyes.

“You’re insane! Why are you trying to frame me?”

Adrian’s expression turned glacial. He kicked the guard again.

“You’re blaming Vivian to save yourself?

“She was lying beside me when the cage went down. When could she possibly have spoken to you?”

The guard shouted over him.

“She approached me as soon as you decided to punish Ms. Bennett.

“She didn’t care whether Ms. Bennett lived or died. She said that if Ms. Bennett died underwater,/ she could become the undisputed Mrs. Prescott. She promised me half a million dollars afterward.

vian’s eyes reddened. She clutched Adrian’s arm.

“Mr. Prescott, Nina was always hard on me, but I would never dare hurt her. He knows she’s dead

and wants someone else to take the blame.”

Adrian covered her hand with his. 

Ethan remained where he was, studying her face. 

Whenever Vivian had been wronged before, she had wept in silence. Today, she was rushing to defend herself and refused even to look at Nina’s body.

She had been afraid from the beginning.

Something was wrong.

Ethan seized her wrist.

“You’re staying here.”

Then he turned to his assistant.

“Check every security camera on this property. Now.”

Vivian sagged. Only Ethan’s grip kept her from falling.

Adrian tried to shove him away.

“Have you lost your mind? Nina’s death has shattered you, but you can’t take it out on Vivian. You actually believe a guard trying to save himself?”

Ethan pointed toward my body.

“That is my sister. No one leaves until I know the truth.”

The wind blew in from the ocean, heavy with tension.

Less than twenty minutes later, Ethan’s assistant returned at a run, sweat streaming down his face.

“Mr. Bennett, Mr. Prescott, we found the footage.”

Vivian stopped breathing and tried to shrink backward.
