You Are The Apple of My Eyes -
Chapter 605 Ask For Help
Vivian laughed mirthlessly, her eyes wild with misery and bitterness. Tears welled up in her eyes and started endlessly streaming down her pitiful face. Her eyes darted from Noah to Henry. And then at last, fixed on Howard.
She did not remember hating anyone more than this man. He got her mother pregnant with her without her consent, and after she was born, he disregarded her and her mother. He stood by while everyone branded her mother mistress and she was cursed as an illegitimate daughter.
He took her and her mother to the Ye family estate but never treated them with respect. She was never a daughter to him. He just wanted to train her and hone her into a tool that could seduce powerful men. He gave the Ye Group to her elder brothers. He was unwilling to give it to her. All she was to him was a problem that could be solved by throwing money at it.
Vivian stopped laughing. "Do you even have any idea, Dad? I treated you like a father. I respected you and looked up to you. And how did you treat me? You abandoned me!"
Vivian recalled the day when she was supposed to marry John. Tears welled up in her eyes once again.
"You threw me to the Shi family like I was a piece of meat and you were warding off a pack of wolves. You didn't even attempt to protect me. Since that day, I've hated you to my core. You don't deserve to be a father at all, you worthless son of a bitch!"
"You..." Howard's withered hands trembled, and he collapsed against Henry. He had no strength left to slap Vivian again.
He was so angry that he started having trouble breathing. Henry caressed Howard's back to soothe him and sighed. "Are you really that impenitent? After everything, you still think you did nothing wrong? Does blaming your transgressions on others make you feel better?"
"Yes!" Vivian opened her eyes wide and struggled stubbornly. "I didn't do anything wrong! This is all your fault! You made me like this!"
Howard took a deep breath and then fainted.
"Dad? Dad! Noah, Dad just lost consciousness. I'll take him to the hospital." Henry carried his father on his back and turned to leave the police station.
"I'll come with you." Without even glancing at Vivian, Noah helped Henry carry Howard out. Vivian had him locked up for a long time. He needed to see a doctor immediately.
Vivian could only watch as her two brothers made their way out of the station with their unconscious father. There was no way she was going to escape going to prison now. With everything she just said, she had implicated herself enough to skip a formal interrogation.
With a wave of Rayden's hand, someone helped Vivian up from the floor and took her away.
The arrogant spark had left Vivian's eyes.
Looking at her father's and brothers' receding figures, she thought about the life she was going to have behind bars. She was going to be locked up with all kinds of criminals. There would be no beautiful clothes, expensive cosmetics, good wine, or a soft, comfortable bed waiting for her.
She was no longer the noble lady of the Ye family. She was going to live the rest of her life as a lowlife felon.
Panic surged through Vivian's muscles, and she began to struggle once again.
"Let me go! Let me go! Noah! Henry! Please help me! Please! I'm your sister!"
Her cry for help made Noah and Henry stop at the same time, but they did not look back at her.
When they stopped, hope sparked in Vivian's dull eyes. She continued to ask them for help with a mad smile on her face.
"Noah, Henry, please don't let them take me away. I was wrong. I'm so sorry. Please. I'm your sister. I don't want to go to prison. I will die in there. Please help me...' However, Noah and Henry did not turn around. They continued to walk forward with Howard dangling between them. The police officers started dragging Vivian away.

As the distance between them got farther and farther apart, Vivian thought of a different strategy. In a heartbeat, the arrogant spark in her eyes hissed to life. She screamed at Henry.
"You must save me, Henry. If you don't, you will regret it. I will let the whole world know who your whole world is!"
Noah stopped.
He knew that Vivian was talking about Adrian. Henry referred to him as his Whole World.
'Does she know about our relationship?'
"I know, Henry. I found out long ago. I saw you one night. Help me, and I will keep my mouth shut." After saying that, Vivian stopped struggling and smiled. "You'll help me, won't you? I need you to help me find Tim. Find Tim, do you understand?"
After that, Vivian was finally taken away. Without her around, the police station fell eerily silent but not silent enough to reveal Henry's galloping heartbeat.
"Ignore her. Let's take Dad to the hospital." Noah patted Henry on the arm, and they left.
The case was practically open and shut. The evidence collected against Vivian was irrefutable, and there was no legal loophole for her to take advantage of.
Upon finding out that her daughter had been arrested, Julie ran to her husband and cried for several days. One day, Howard just got tired of all of it and told her, "I will divorce you if you don't stop badgering me about Vivian."
There had been nothing but tears on Julie's face for days. She wanted to visit her daughter in prison, but Howard forbade her from leaving the mansion. She could only think of asking Henry for help.
She did not come to Noah for help because Noah was an upright man of the law. She would only embarrass herself if she went to him. More importantly, she did not dare approach him because of his late mother.
Unfortunately, when she went to the Ye Group to look for Henry, Noah was also there. They were at a general shareholders' meeting.
Julie sat in the reception room, fiddling with the coffee cup in her hand. From time to time, she poked her head out and asked the assistant when she could see Henry.
When Julie asked the tenth time, the assistant finally saw that the meeting had been adjourned. The assistant smiled with relief. "Mr. Ye has done with the meeting. I'll tell him you're here."
"Okay, okay. Thank you." Julie was neatly dressed, and her hair was meticulously combed. But even so, she still looked dispirited. She did not even talk as arrogantly as she used to.
Henry stepped out of the conference room with Noah. As soon as the door opened, Julie stood up. When she saw Noah, her face suddenly turned pale.
She had been having nightmares for the past two days. In one of them, Vivian died in prison, and in another one, Noah's mother came back to kill her.
"Noah, you're also here." The corner of her mouth twitched.
Noah did not say anything. He just gestured to Julie to take a seat.
As she reluctantly sat back down, Noah and Henry took the seats across from her.
"Are you here to talk about Vivian?" Henry pointed out Julie's intention.
Julie was only surprised for a moment. Then, she knelt in front of Henry and begged with tears in her eyes. "Yes, Henry. I came here for my daughter. Please. I beg you to save Vivian. She's still your sister. You two had the same pitiful childhood, and you were both raised by your mothers. Please get her out. You must have a way to save her. Yes, she did all those wrong things, but she can change. Please, Henry. Give your sister a chance. Please help her."
Tears started rolling down Julie's cheeks. Deep in her heart, she could not help blaming herself. If she had been a better mother, Vivian would not be in prison right now, alone and helpless.¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
