Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 469

When Vivienne explained herself, some people finally understood her—though they still criticized the way she handled things, claiming she just wasn’t thinking straight.

Others, however, kept repeating the same accusation:

“So that gives you the right to hurt Emilia? You knew exactly what would happen when you streamed those things live. You knew what people would say about her, but you did it anyway!”

Vivienne looked exhausted, almost defeated.

“That wasn’t what I intended. I… I wasn’t thinking clearly at the time. I just got swept up in it all.”

She hesitated, searching for words. “I don’t even know how to explain myself anymore.”

She took a shaky breath and looked right into the camera. “If you want a solution, then… here it is: I’m putting the Ultra-Luxury Villa Floral Series on indefinite hold. This chapter ends here. Consider it my apology to Emilia and everyone affected by this incident.”

“My feud with Emilia was always about winning, about throwing a wedding with Tyler that would outshine hers. Now I’m cutting off my own chance at victory. That should show how sincere I am.”

Her words were punctuated by another fit of coughing—this time, so violent she doubled over, retching.

Someone rushed to her side, steadying her, while an off-camera voice scolded, “Ms. Vivienne, I warned you—your condition is already critical. You keep pushing yourself like this and you won’t even make it to four months from now!”

Vivienne only waved them away, unwilling to hear more.

Meanwhile, the live chat exploded.

Some praised her for her “radical honesty,” saying she was willing to make real sacrifices and was brave enough to admit her mistakes. Others accused her of fishing for sympathy, pointing out her failing health.

But after this wave of public drama, despite the ongoing arguments, Vivienne managed to win back most of her supporters.

#NotTheSmartestButTrulySincere#

That phrase shot straight to the top of the trending topics.

At the same time, news broke that *Vivi’s Whispers*—her latest movie—had landed a theatrical distribution deal, with a release date soon to be announced.

Vivienne herself posted a new update, promoting *Vivi’s Whispers*.

Over at Donovan Entertainment, Christian nearly had an aneurysm when he saw the trending topic.

“That’s supposed to be about me! How did that become her whole persona?” he fumed, slamming his hand on the desk.

“So what’s our next move?” Christian asked, still fuming.

“I need a concert,” Emilia said, tapping her nails on the table.

Christian nodded. They’d already started the paperwork for it.

They’d discussed this before—The Glenn Group was on board, and Emilia’s concert would run alongside her new single release, pushing her music from every angle.

“We’ll have to file to change the date,” Emilia said, pulling out the revised contract.

“And there’s the situation with Emy,” she added, her eyes growing cold.

She glanced at her tablet, where Vivienne’s latest *Vivi’s Whispers* promo was still up.

Even after all this, Vivienne was determined to push *Vivi’s Whispers* no matter what.

So be it, Emilia thought. She had no intention of holding back now.

Some things were long overdue for a reckoning.
