My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1839

When Manfred heard Vivian's words, a shadow passed through his eyes. "They're too preoccupied with their own troubles to bother me for now."

"Did I really scare them?" Vivian exclaimed in surprise.

Not wanting her to feel disappointed, Manfred nodded. "Yes, they're feeling guilty and uneasy. Your actions just happened to frighten them. They've been taking medicine and resting these past few days."

It wasn't as simple as them being scared. Manfred had done something as well.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at a few books stacked near the bed. It seemed reading really was useful.

If Vivian wanted those two vile people to fall ill from fear, then they'd best stay sick.

"That's great! After the way they've treated you—spending your mother's money while still mistreating you—they deserve punishment! I told you they'd face retribution." Vivian felt like a weight had been lifted off her chest.

These past few days, just thinking about Randall and Zea made her seethe with anger.

Poor Manfred had lost his mother at a young age, with no one to care for him. Instead, he'd been left to endure the cruelty of two heartless individuals.

If she could, she wished Manfred could grow stronger quickly and make those wicked people pay for their actions.

"Oh, I almost forgot! I brought you more books this time—War and Peace, The Thirty-Six Strategies, The Three Kingdoms, and The Rising Tide. You can read them all." Vivian eagerly rummaged through another large bag.

Aside from books, the bag contained food and some medicines.

The weather here was harsh. Even with blankets and down jackets, it was still too cold. She worried that Manfred might catch a cold and had prepared medicine in advance so he could take it if needed.

She also hoped that as he grew older, reading these books would help him gain knowledge, find ways to protect himself, and eventually reclaim what was rightfully his.

"War and Peace, and The Thirty-Six Strategies?" Manfred's eyes lit up.

Though he hadn't heard of these books before, their titles gave him a strong feeling that they would be invaluable to him.

"A surprise?" Vivian's curiosity was instantly piqued.

"Yes," Manfred nodded.

Vivian wanted to ask what the surprise was, but she knew that asking too much would ruin the surprise. So she decided to wait, already looking forward to their next meeting in 15 days.

15 minutes later, it was time for Vivian to leave.

Just as she was about to say goodbye, a piercing, hysterical scream echoed through the quiet night.

"Ahhh! This is a dream! This must be a dream!"

The night was so still, and the mansion so vast and empty, that the desperate cries carried all the way to the secluded courtyard.
