Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1134

"My advice? Lay out every single gritty detail of Vivienne's crimes. The heavier her charges, the bigger your contribution looks to the authorities. The police will reward that kind of cooperation with a significantly lighter sentence."

Mira continued to smoothly orchestrate the trap.

A glimmer of desperate hope sparked in Luna's eyes.

"And if there are any other accomplices, you'd better name them too. It all adds up to a better plea deal. Because if you stay quiet and the police uncover the rest of the conspiracy, they'll assume you were the sole mastermind. When it comes time for sentencing, they'll throw the book at you."

*Anyone who tried to destroy me is going down.* Mira thought ruthlessly.

Armed with this psychological leverage, Mira knew for a fact that Luna would spill every ugly secret Vivienne possessed, likely even exaggerating the details to save her own skin.

Mira wasn't doing this out of the goodness of her heart. Having Luna serve as the primary witness against Vivienne was a far more lethal and efficient strategy than Mira filing a direct lawsuit.

Plus, letting Luna surrender voluntarily saved Mira the hassle of personally dragging her down to the precinct.

The very next morning, Mira unlocked her phone to find the internet flooded with breaking news of Luna's surrender. The real bombshell, however, was the dramatic arrest of Vivienne Voss.

Coming hot on the heels of Vivienne incinerating her fortune on Wall Street, this new scandal completely shattered the internet.

"Who would've thought? The high-and-mighty Miss Voss isn't just a so-called 'Oracle' of Wall Street, she's a literal criminal."

The title "Oracle" was, of course, dripping with absolute sarcasm.

"Not just a criminal—she conspired with the terrorists in the Balkan Underworld to target our own citizens!"

"And she helped those monsters try to assassinate our Melvion Goddess!"

"Thank God they were totally incompetent and Mira survived."

He issued a public statement legally severing all familial ties with Vivienne. Moving forward, the Voss family completely disavowed her actions and declared they would no longer interfere in her legal battles—or spend a single dime on her defense.

With a single press release, Vivienne was entirely stripped of the Voss family's protection, discarded like absolute garbage.

Reports leaked from the detention center that upon hearing the news, Vivienne had collapsed, weeping hysterically for twenty-four hours straight, refusing food and water.

Yet the public's relentless assault showed no signs of slowing down. Thousands tuned in to daily live streams tracking the minute-by-minute updates of her criminal case.

The entire nation had appointed itself as the jury.

At one point, Vivienne's mother attempted to pull some back-channel strings to secure a lighter sentence. The internet sleuths immediately exposed her, utterly obliterating the fragile goodwill the Voss Group had barely managed to salvage.

Her husband nearly filed for divorce over the stunt. Eventually, the mother was forced to post a tearful, humiliating apology online, vowing to never assist Vivienne again. Only then did the public fury marginally subside.
