Marry You Like A Thief

Chapter 1 A Blind Date During The Daytime

The city lights were brighter than the stars above them, especially in an international metropolis like H

City.

In a presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel.

Soothing music echoed across the large room. The moonlight sprinkled across the king-sized bed

through a floor-to-ceiling windows.

Vivien Pei felt like she was floating in dream-like clouds. It was something she had never felt before.

She never had such an experience.

Although it was just a dream, she could feel everything happening around her. It was as if it had

actually happened. Strange.

Vivian Pei slowly opened her eyes in confusion as she thought back to what had happened.

Before Jeffrey Shen could speak, Vivian Pei quickly interrupted him,

"I can't believe this! I thought you were nice when we had our blind date. I must've been on drugs!"

Vivian Pei was the eldest daughter of the Pei Family. Normally, she wouldn't usually go on blind dates,

but this was considered an exception. The Pei Group had been suffering from financial difficulties

recently. Now, they needed a sum of money to get them out of their predicament. She had no choice Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

but to follow her father's wishes in going on a blind date.

Her blind date was none other than Jeffrey Shen, the eldest son of the most powerful family in the city.

"There must've been some misunderstanding."

During their blind date, he actually had a good time with Vivian Pei. Being a traveling reporter, she had

traveled almost all over the globe. She had so many stories hidden in that little head of hers, and she

was also extremely funny. Not only was she an avid talker, but she was also smart. She could give him

an advice or two about his company. That was for sure.

If things had gone out like the way it was, they would've been married in a span of two months.

But now, everything had changed.

She had slept with him!

"How could you, Jeffrey? It seems that I was wrong about you!" she sputtered out, not really knowing

what else to say.

He frowned when she stood up from bed.

He didn't expect that things would turn out the way it did.

It was Riley Zheng. She handed him that glass of wind and told him that Vivian Pei was upstairs. She

had also added how the woman had been satisfied with their date. Then Jeffrey Shen had gone up

there with good intentions.

It seemed that Riley Zheng had lied to him.

"You're so screwed, Riley,"

Jeffrey murmured. His face was as cold as ice.

He wouldn't allow anyone to hurt Vivian Pei. In fact, he wouldn't allow anyone to lay a hand on the Pei

Family.

After changing her clothes, she shot him a glare.

At the sight of her cold gaze, Jeffrey Shen had something bad stirred in his stomach.

"Vivian, let me explain!"

He stood up. Her eyes gleamed with unshed tears, but she wasn't going to cry in front of him. She

wouldn't dare.

"Let me make this clear. I would never marry you! I would rather die alone in this world than be tied to

you. I don't want to see you again!"

After saying that, she turned on her heel and strutted out of the room.

His heart ached at her words. Before Vivian could leave, Jeffrey grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Before I went upstairs, Riley gave me a glass of wine and..."

"Jeffrey! You have the guts to do what you did, but you don't even want to admit what you've done? Do

you really want to blame Riley? Are you even a man?"

She struggled under his grip, snarling,

"Let me go! Maybe then, I'll remember one good thing about you."

Hearing this, the man loosened his grip.

She stared at him helplessly.

Putting aside what had happened between them, Vivian had to admit that the guy was incredibly

handsome. But after what he did, there was no way she was going to forgive him.

"We'll talk about this later."

After giving him a hard kick, she stalked out of the room.

It was not until she returned home did she finally cry. The tears that she held back for so long rushed

down her cheeks as she sniffled.

Fortunately, it was already late at night, and all the servants had gone to bed.

Although she didn't believe Jeffrey's words, Vivian still wanted to ask her sister why the man was in her

room.

In order not to wake anyone up, she tiptoed up the third floor and towards her sister's room.

The door was already ajar. But before she could knock, her sister's voice echoed out the corridor.

Vivian froze.

"Vivian and I are daughters of the Pei Family, but why do I have to be Zheng? It's not like I'm uglier

than her. Hell, I'm in much better shape than that bitch. But as long as she's here, it's as if no one

wanted to pay attention to me," she snarled. "They would forever see me as some daughter of one of

his mistresses. I hate her! Mom, you're already the official wife now, right? Yet everyone still thinks of

her as the real daughter of the Pei Family. It's ridiculous!"

Kelly Zheng, or Mrs. Pei, felt heartbroken when she heard her daughter's words. Her beautiful face was

distorted into one that was similar to a fire-breathing beast.

Suddenly, a vicious smile slipped into her lips. "Don't worry. If I could get rid of Claire, then Vivian's

going to be a piece of cake. You won't be seeing her once I'm done."

With a sly smile, Riley snorted. "Right? Did she really think that she could hook up with Jeffrey? Do you

think I could let go of her that easily? After what would happen tonight, he wouldn't even look at her.

He'd just think of that bitch as someone we'd exchange for money. Who would fall in love with such a

cheap thing?"

Kelly Zheng nodded in approval. "The Shen Family is not just any ordinary family. If they know that

Vivian and Jeffrey shared a bed before marriage, he would definitely reject the marriage."

"Exactly!"

Hearing their conversation, Vivian couldn't take it anymore.

She pushed the door open. "How could you do this to me?" she demanded. "What the hell did I do to

make you hate me this much?"

Kelly hurriedly stood up. Her smug face immediately turned to one filled with sadness and innocence.

"Vivian, it's not what you think-"

"Cut the act, Mom. You don't need to explain it to her." Riley waved her hand

before strutting up to her so-called 'sister'. She had to admit that Vivian was a true beauty. Vivian had a

small oval face with delicate features that heightened her bright eyes. However, there was something

about her that made Riley want to cut her face.

"Well? What if we did set you up? What do you care? Aren't you a daughter of the Pei Family?

Shouldn't you do something to help us? As long as you have sex, then Jeffrey would give everything to

us."

Vivian clenched her fists. "And driving my brother away? Did you also do that for the sake of the Pei

Family?"

"You shouldn't say such awful things..." Kelly covered her mouth. "It was the servant who lost him. We

have nothing to do with it."

"Drop the act. I've heard what you just said," Vivian snapped.

The old woman smiled innocently. "You must've heard it wrong. How could I have done such a thing?

I've always treated you like my own children."

"I never knew that you'd sell your children like they're objects," Vivian snarled.

It was then when she saw their true colors. It seemed that they weren't good as she had thought. They

were actually hiding their disgusting and hideous souls.

"It's late at night. Why are you so noisy?" Albert Pei walked over, wondering what the noise was all

about. "Why are you being so thoughtless? Kelly was just thinking about your date, and you treat her

like this? Apologize to her!"

"Dad! Don't let them convince you. They were planning to sell me!" Vivian exclaimed, pointing at them.

"In fact, they set me up to have sex with Jeffrey."

"Albert, Vivian just didn't want to go to her date, so she came back with a bad temper," Kelly murmured

innocently, making a long face. "Don't yell at her. Just let her vent her anger at me. Maybe she'll better."

"Do you hear that? Do you see how nice your stepmother is?"

Vivian clenched her fists. "Dad, why can't you stop being so oblivious? Do you even see what that

woman is doing to you? She already tried to sell me. In fact, she's also the one who lost my brother,

your son! She even said it herself!"

Albert Pei pointed at her. His hand was trembling. "You-You..."

Suddenly, he slumped back and lost consciousness.

"Albert!" Kelly rushed towards him as her arms flailed in different directions.

"Vivian! How dare you?" she shrieked. "Riley, go and call an ambulance."
