" Theo's small face was icy . " Being in a game together doesn't make her my mom ." " But when everyone asked , you didn't deny it , " August said , his voice brimming with childlike innocence . " And didn't you say Ms. Everest is just a nanny at your house ? " Nanny . The word hit like a thunderbolt .

The room fell silent , the air thick with tension . Everyone's expressions shifted subtly . Some truths were unspoken yet understood by all , too delicate to voice aloud . If word got out that Mrs. Harrington was treated like a nanny at home , the gossip wouldn't center on Vivienne but on Edmund and the entire Harrington family . At that moment , Dante , who had been quiet , broke the silence . " Vivi , I came to give you something . " Dante said . All eyes turned to him .

Dante's lips curved into a casual smile as he handed Vivienne a phone . She unlocked it and found a video . Playing it , she saw herself and Lillian on the screen , captured at the staircase . Vivienne froze . " This is … " " The video showing why Ms. Lillian fell down the stairs , " Dante replied . " Video ? " Lillian's eyes flickered with alarm . " But there aren't any cameras in that part of the staircase … " Vivienne turned to her . " How would Ms.

Lillian know there are no cameras there ? " Caught off guard , Lillian forced a smile . " When I was looking for Theo , I glanced around and noticed there didn't seem to be any cameras in that direction … " Dante's tone was languid . " True , there are no cameras there . But August was filming Vivi coming down the stairs and happened to catch this intriguing moment ." His phone was state - of - the - art , its resolution razor - sharp .

The video laid bare the truth , Vivienne hadn't touched Lillian . Lillian had chased after her and stumbled on her own . When the video ended , a heavy silence enveloped the room . Dante chuckled . " No cameras , sure , but thank goodness August recorded it . Otherwise , Vivi would've been in deep trouble . " Lillian hastened to clarify , " I never said Ms. Everest pushed me . " Vivienne met her gaze .
