Mr Roswell got to his daughter's residence and met her crying. Seeing her state he couldn't bring himself to shout at her. He drew her closer to him in trying to comfort her.
When she raised her head up, her eyes were blood shot, swollen, she's been crying for so long.
Then she said "I'm sorry, I know how hard you've worked in trying to win this contract I'm sorry I ruined it" And I love Alexander Vaughn, I just don't know what came over me" she continued. She's was really pained and he could feel it for her. At that moment he hated Alexander. He was able to put her to sleep before leaving her residence.

“I love you,” Vivian cried softly. “I swear I do.”
Alexander closed his eyes briefly.
