The truth about Vivi was far from the refined lady she portrayed. She was merely a young girl from a destitute family, who hadn’t
even finished middle school.
Her illusion of affluence was carefully crafted by a team dedicated to creating Internet sensations. The mansions, fancy cars, and
luxury brands she flaunted were not truly hers, but merely borrowed or group-purchased props.
Her crafted identity unraveled, and Vivi lost everything in the blink of an eye.
As darkness fell over the Larson family mansion, Janet lay comfortably with her head resting on Brandon’s lap, engrossed. in the
latest celebrity buzz on her phone. Vivi’s scandal had skyrocketed to the top three trending topics. A single tap on any headline
revealed a cascade of negative gossip and sordid revelations about her, Janet aimlessly opened one such article. detailing Vivi’s
reprehensible past, from her bullying antics in middle school to physically assaulting her assistant as a budding Internet
sensation.
With a sigh, Janet mused, “Vivi, in all her glamor, has done some deplorable deeds. As a public figure, she should have valued
her reputation, but she consistently chose the path of wrongdoing.” Brandon glanced at the phone screen, a sardonic smile
playing on his lips. “Evil doers can never truly mask their decay, regardless of the glitzy facade they uphold,” he scoffed.

Janet wholeheartedly concurred, “If she had avoided mischief and focused on her career, she might have accomplished
something. Now, she has no one to blame for her downfall but herself.” Mid-conversation, Janet’s phone buzzed with an
incoming video call from Laney.
As soon as she picked up, a concerned Laney inquired from the other end,
“Janet, how are things with Vivi’s scandal? Is there anything I can do to help?”
With a reassuring smile, Janet responded, “Don’t fret, everything’s under control. How have you been? Is Garrett keeping up the
good work?”
Just as Laney finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared behind her. The man, dressed in casual home attire, adeptly held
and fed a baby.
Janet recognized the man and, with a chuckle, teased, “Garrett, | never expected you to become so proficient at caring for a
baby. You seem to have mastered holding and feeding her.”

Cradling his daughter, Garrett wasn’t taken aback by Janet’s jibe. Instead, he wore a proud smile, proclaiming, “Exactly! I’m on
the path to becoming an exceptional dad. My little girl has already taken a liking to me.”
Slyly, he glanced towards Brandon, taking the opportunity to boast, ninja .com “Having a daughter is a wonderful thing.
She’s so adorable and clingy.”
Brandon remained stoic, offering Garrett a simple response. “Piss off.”

With a helpless tap on Garrett’s head, Laney chided, “Behave. You’ve only been looking after the baby for a few days. Don’t let it
go to your head. You’re not off the hook yet.”
Despite her words, the joy and tenderness in Laney’s eyes were unmistakable.
Observing the warm interaction among the duo, Janet felt genuinely happy for Laney. It was hard to believe that Garrett, once a
wealthy playboy who reveled in a glamorous lifestyle, was now a responsible father, personally taking care of his child.
Perhaps the familial bond, along with Garrett’s attentive care, had endeared Anya to him.
Yet, Janet noticed that Laney still seemed somewhat distant from Garrett, hinting that their reconciliation was not yet complete.
With this in mind, Janet inquired, “Laney, when do you plan to forgive him?”
Laney shot Garrett a sidelong glance and deflected, “We’ll discuss that later. If you’re free, come over and visit Anya. I think
you’re the best choice to be her godmother.”
Sensing Laney’s reluctance to continue on the topic, Janet wisely pivoted, “Sounds perfect! I’ve been eager to become Anya’s
godmother.”
While observing the video of the sweet and tender Anya, Janet and Brandon exchanged a knowing smile, silently acknowledging
their mutual yearning for a child.
After ending the call, Janet promptly broached the subject of undergoing a medical check-up. “Shall we get our tests done
tomorrow?” she suggested. “We need to be prepared if we’re planning to have a baby.”
The desire to become a father had been stirring within Brandon, especially during Garrett’s boastful display. Upon hearing
Janet’s proposal about the physical examination, he swiftly nodded in agreement and promptly began organizing everything
necessary.
