Vilgefortz was a true antagonist. Now that he realized that he might be in trouble, he did not hesitate using one of his trump cards. With Olivia, he had to play the card of love.
There was no love between him and Olivia. In the pursuit of power, love was nothing but a burden. Instead of educating Olivia by himself, he had tossed her to Lydia, his personal assistant, and friend with benefits.
Love was merely a tool for him to manipulate others. He knew that Lydia loved him with all her heart. She did not even need him to return her love. Hence, he used her affection to bind her to his will and do his bidding…
Vilgefortz was aware of how close Lydia and Olivia were. Lydia cared for Olivia, more than anything else.
At this moment of life and death, he had to create a stopgap measure. The arrogant master was insulted by the need to use such a despicable tactic to escape. It was the most humiliating day in his life!
