Donan snapped back to reality and urgently whispered. “How are you here? Run there’s too many of them

“Okay” Dorian and Cordelia agreed without any objections
The sky had gradually darkened by the time they reached the residential complex. As soon as they got out of the car, they immediately brought Dorian and Cordelia into the apartment
Percival poured them some hot coffee and had previously arranged for food to be delivered
Only after Dorian and Cordelia had sipped the warm brew and ribbled on some food did they finally regain their composure.
Upon seeing the worry etched on Vivienne’s face. Dorian reassured her. They didn’t hurt us. They just kept us hungry for a few days. You two don’t need to blame yourselves”
Vivienne’s face remained clouded with concem it was my oversight (should have arranged for post protection sooner
in fact, before she left Havenwood she had specifically allocated people to ensure Doiran and Cordelia’s safety.
in order to not disrupt their lives the bad instructed the quarcs to maintain a discreet doctance
But it was this distance coupled with Rowan’s talent for dinguses that had allowed the impostors to ship into franquil f states unentical
“It’s not your fault Donan was quick to Comfort her “They were after that potion
During their captivity their captors probed Dorian with veiled questions about Karen
He sansed something amiss, and realized that they were after the potion he had once hidden away
“Thankfulh the potion is in your hands Dorian let out a sigh of relief if he hadnt handed the potion over to Vivienne earlier who knew what an
Just as Karen had said when Vivienne was powerful enough, it was time to entrust her with the mission
Vivienne wat The on one who could shoulder the burden he couldn’t bear
“You don’t need to worry about the potion. Vivienne eased his womes. Til handle it
After a pause she looked at them and asked What are your plans now?”
Chapter 332
Donan paused for a moment. His silence made the air heavy
After a while, he began to speak using a slow and steady tone “Vivienne, on the way hem, I had a lot of time to think I might not be your biological father, but I’ve always considered you my own daughter This situation made me realize that with your mother gone, it’s my duty to protect you”
Vivienne didn’t respond. She waited for him to continue
Tve been too weak before, but I want to grow stronger Dorian glanced at Vivienne and Percival, moistening his lips before he continued. “Your grandma has returned to the countryside and I don’t have any immediate family left in Havenwood So, I’ve decided to move to Riverwood and start my own business”
As he ended. Donan turned to Cordelia with an apologetic look on his face “Cordelia, I’m sorry for making this decision without consulting you. You still have family in Havenwood and it isn’t far for me to decide this on my own
Cordelia’s face showed signs of anger. Do you see me at some sort of irrational woman?
Dorian quickly retorted. “No, you’ve always been a wonderful wife and mother”
Then don’t talk about what’s fair or not! When I married you, I became your family. Whatever decisions you make. Til support you take care of them I trust them”
des. my parents
After her outburst, Cordelia looked towards Vivienne “Although I don’t have any blood relation to Vienne, she’s always been there to protect on She’s done so much for behind the scenes. Now it’s our turn to protect her I agree with moving to Riverwood”
Thank you. Cordelia Donan looked truly touched
Vivienne watched them as a warm feeling flowed through her. After a moment, she spoke in the softest voice she could imagine: “Mom Dad you for my sake As long as you’re happy, I’m happy”
Dorian and Cordelia were taken aback. Their eyes widened in disbelief Vivienne, what did you just call us
*
Mom and Dad?
Had they misheard? Was this some sort of daydream?
Percival watched from the sidelines with a small smile playing on his lips.
These affectionate names wouldn’t have come easily to the young girl if she didn’t genuinely care for them. But Donan and Cordelia deserved to be Vivienne They were more deserving than Scott ever was
“Mom Dad Vivienne spoke again. Im sorry for not calling you this sooner”
“It’s not too late” Dorian’s voice choked up as tears spilled from his eyes. “It’s not too late at alii*
Only he knew how long he’d waited for Vivienne to call him dad
But when Vivienne had decided to leave Havenwood, he’d thought she’d never change her mind. But now, after hearing her call himn dad, he felt like Par
Cordelia was also teary–eyed “Yes, it’s not too late. It’s just right”
She wanted to say more, but her voice began to fail her leaving only tears of joy.
Donan suddenly burst out laughing “Who cares if you re Scott’s biological daughter? I got to hear you call me dad first! it was all worth in
He grabbed Cordelias hand as he laughed “Cordelia should we go find those people and get kidnapped again? | feel like I’m dreaming, i don’t want to
Vivienne Percival and Cordelia all stared at him, unsure of how to respond
After a moment of heartfelt emotion, Dorian made a decision “Now that Vivienne has called me dad. I’m definitely going to stay in
He turned to Vivienne “The perfume formula your mother gave me, I was planning on never using it again. But now I want to use it to to use the 10–million–dollar marnage gift your grandfather gave me to start this business want to earn enough to support you
He spoke without any hesitation, causing Vivienne to smile. “Okay”
Suddenly she remembered something. “Did you just now decide to start a company?”
“Yes” Dorian replied. “On the way here, I was thinking about it. Alliance Enterprises is a good company but i cant ovide any help company and stand on my own two feet want to be a strong pillar for my family. When Astrid gets married, her in laws, wort
Vivienne frowned. The people pretending to be you also mentioned starting a perfume company hot long ago. ↑
Donan paused as he recalled something “I remember now. They asked me for the perfume formula. ( told them | had company?

Percival spoke up. They must have thought that the formula for the potion was written unto the perfute fonitula

Chapter 333
After exiting the apartment. Vivienne and Percival headed straight to the place where Quincy was being held captive.
En route. Vivienne leaned against her chair with her mobile phone clutched in her hands. The screen lingered on a single text message
GTO dispatched two teams Dorian and Cordelia have been relocated. Quincy is their new point man
Percival glanced at her phone, then spoke slowly “Still thinking about that message, are you?”
Vivienne’s gaze dropped, and her voice became weary “Yeah”
She’d received the text the previous night
immediately, she d tried to trace the sender using her hacking skills
She wasn’t one to brag about her abilities, but finding the name of a phone’s owner was usually a piece of cake for her
This time, however, she found nothing Not only was she unable to trace the sender’s name, but she couldn’t even locate them.
This person was a hacker with skills far surpassing her own. Every move she made seemed to be anticipated. This mysterious opponent effortlessly evaded all her attempts to find him
It was perhaps the most frustrating experience she’d ever had in the realm of hacking
The sender created a local network to send the message. They’re indeed quite skilled. When I tried to trace them, I was blocked Percival spoke with a grave expression.
Vivienne blinked in surprise Mr Wolf, you know how to hack?”
She’d had no idea that Percival possessed such skills
“I learned from my mentor Percival lit a cigarette and blew out a ring of smoke “Her hacking skills were unparalleled, not just in Veridia but in the world Unfortunately only learned the basics
Vivienne stayed silent. Her mothers hacking skills were indeed formidable. The first thing she learned from her was hacking
Her own skills, heavily influenced by her mother’s teachings, were perhaps even stronger than her medical knowledge
After her mother’s death, she’d never encountered another hacker of the same caliber
And now not only had a highly skilled hacker emerged, but they also seemed to know everything about her and the people around her
Upon seeing Vivienne’s troubled expression, Percival spoke again. “GTO doesn’t have a hacker this skilled My sources tell me that you already took care of their best hacker, Felix The rest are not on Felix’s level”
Percival paused for a moment before adding, “Whoever is sending you these messages is likely an ally, not an enemy”
Vivienne nodded Her suspicions were confirmed it was due to this realization that shed managed to handle Rowan and Ismene and then meet with Quincy
Sure enough, the person sending the messages was indeed helping her
Suddenly Vivienne’s phone rang again.
It was another text message
She opened it to find another message from the same sender.
Watch out for Scott]
Vivienne’s eyebrows knitted together as she handed the phone to Percival
After reading the message, Percival fell silent for a moment. This person seems to know a lot about everyone around you We still don’t know much about Scott, but they seem to know everything
Just as he finished speaking. Vivienne’s phone rang once more
Another message from the same sender Abandon the potion. GTO The virus experiment. Newborn baby”
Vivienne’s eyes widened as she turned sharply to Percival Have there been any reports of missing newborns recently?
Percival, having read the message as well frowned deeply 1 haven’t received any such news
His current mission, given to him by the government, was to find the potion that Lark had taken. So far, he hadn’t received any other notifications.
His intelligence network hadn’t picked up on any unusual activities from GTO either
Viviennes expression suddenly changed “We ve been played They’re trying to distract us with the potion!”
As she finished speaking, the two exchanged a glance before simultaneously pulling out their phones to make calls
Vivienne called Matthew I need you to send everyone out Look for any missing newborns in the past six months Nationwide I want to know the results as soon a
possible
Matthew sensing the urgency in Vivienne’s voice, responded seriously “Yes, Vivienne
Next she sent a message to Draven Issue an order of the Nine Mystics Society Nationwide search for missing newborns
Meanwhile Percival called Leopold inform the intelligence network to look for missing newborns Report back to the government.”
Leopold acknowledged the order and began to arrange it
After hanging up Percival stepped on the gas, speeding the car along
. Soon, they arrived at a factory This was Percivaly priv
The two of them got out of the car and walked straight in
Quincy was tied to a chail with her eyes covered. She was remarkably calm
After sensing them approaching a sly smule appeared on her face Finally decided to show up, have you?
Percival looked at her impassively and gave Thomas a nod
Understanding the gesture. Thomas stepped forward to remove the blindfold from Quincy’s eyes

Chapter 333
The harsh light hurt Quincy’s eyes, but after tilting her head slightly, she was able to see Vivienne and Percival clearly
She let out a cold laugh. I never thought I’d end up in your hands Well, do what you will!
From the moment she was captured she knew what her late would be
Percival had someone bring over two chairs. He and Vivienne then sat across from Quincy He crossed his legs and tapped his fingers rhythmically against his knee “Quincy, real name Barnaby, twenty–five years old Kidnapped and sold to GTO at the age of thirteen You were supposed to be a test subject, but you were smart You chose to join them instead
You’re a genius. You finished all the middle school courses by the time you were in the sixth grade You’re a master of disguise, and you’re excellent at conducting chemical experiments You’ve completed many missions for GTO You were always successful, but
He stopped abruptly at this point
Quincy smirked “But what?”
“Every person you’ve been assigned to is still alive and kicking Percival said in a leisurely tone
Vivienne peered at him in surprise. His words mirrored exactly what she had discovered during her investigation.
Quincy frowned at him with confusion etched on her face Who exactly are you?”
She knew Vivienne She had made sure to thoroughly investigate Vivienne before embarking on her mission
And naturally she knew about Percival as well. Since he was Vivienne’s fiancé, she had made it her business to know about him. But all she found out was that he was the underachieving seventh grandson of the Ellington family
There was nothing remarkable about him
Yet he seemed to know an awful lot about her
“Who I am isn’t important What you need to know is that we can bring down GTO and reunite you with your family” Percival said slowly
“Why should I believe you” Quincy scoffed Ever since she had been trafficked into GTO at the age of thirteen, she knew that the only person she could trust was herself
“Because your brother is one of mine Percival responded indifferently.
Quincy’s expression shifted. “I don’t believe you”
Her brother was long dead. He was murdered by the people of GTO
Chapter 334
Percival said nothing and just glanced at his wristwatch
Soon after, the hooting of a car horn echoed from outside
Thomas immediately stepped out
Shortly, he returned, accompanied by an attractive young man who looked to be in his late twenties
Upon seeing Quincy, the man’s eyes instantly moistened “Quincy“”
“Brother Quincy looked stupefied at the man before her “How could it be? Weren’t you
She witnessed the GTO gang murder her brother
No!
It was a lie!
It must have been a hel
“I didn’t die Caspian’s eyes were glassy with tears. Ever since you were kidnapped, we searched for you for years with no luck I swore to join the national forces. After graduation joined Captain Percival’s team and infiltrated GTO under a false identity. They discovered my cover, but the captain had a contingency plan. They shot me and left me for dead in a mass grave Caspian glanced at Percival Captain Percival sent someone to rescue me”
After seeing the disbelief on Barnaby’s face, Caspian stepped forward “Quincy. I truly am your brother Nobody is lying
Thomas moved to untie Barnaby’s ropes
Barnaby reached up to touch Caspian’s face as tears welled up in her eyes “Brother, it really is you! You’re not dead!
She learned of Caspian’s undercover mission to infiltrate GTO when they recognized each other But to fulfill his mission, he had to keep his distance from her after a brat reunion, they lost contact
The last time she saw him, she heard that GTO had caught an undercover agent. The higher ups sent someone to eliminate Caspian Upon hearing this, she rushed to save him When she arrived she couldn’t act in time, but Caspian gave her a look, signaling her to stay calm.
She had many internal battles, but in the end she restrained herself from saving him.
She knew that if she had acted both she and her brother would be killed
She wanted to live to finish the business her brother couldn’t, and avenge her brother
“Yes, I’m not dead Caspian embraced her as his tears and laughter mingled “You stubborn girl, why did you change your code name? if you hadn’t, the captain
known that you were my sister”
When he infiltrated GTO and met Barnaby, she told him her code name was Black Fox.
So the captain had always thought that his sister’s code name was Black For
It was during a mission when he saw Barnaby that he was startled. He didn’t react at the moment but reported the incident to the captain after returning to the team
“I was afraid that the Black Fox code name would leave traces for GTO to discover, so I changed it. Barnaby hadn’t expected that a code name would almost prevent from ever seeing her brother again.
Enough! You can catch up later Percival suddenly interrupted them. Barnaby, are you ready to talk to us now?”
After regaining her composure Barnaby turned to face Percival 1 know what you’re going to ask, but I don’t know much Every command GTO tiny tech devices. As for the higher–ups. I only know one, Mr. B
“Mr B Percival’s brows furrowed slightly. “Who is he?”
dont know I’ve been trying to win his trust and get close to him, but even now, I have no idea what Mr B looks like I only know he’s in Riverwood. should have had contact with him Oh, and Mr B is the second–in–command of GTO As for who the boss is, that’s still a mystery
Percival and Vivienne simultaneously furrowed their brows
The second–in–command?
GTO seemed to be more complex than they thought
A moment later Percival spoke up want you to make contact with Mr B
It’s no use Mr B has an extensive information network. The moment a mission fails on my end, he will know immediately I can’t go back to GTO
The news was blocked immediately My men are disguised as GTO members and are guarding the place. You’re safe for now. (I give you a po
Barnaby was taken aback “You’re entrusting me with something this important?”
Yes First win Mr E’s trust Percival said
“What’s in it for me if | help you? Barnaby asked after a moment of silence
What do you want?

experiment
Her mother’s potion only amplified a person’s strength indefinitely
But a virus could be spread on a large scale
GTO’s objective was still unclear
But most importantly, if there were missing infants, they had to save those children
“Yes, I’ll handle this After a pause, Percival continued. “Vivienne, I plan to hand over the potion to the government.”
“Alright The potion was of no use in her hands
Her lab was developing an antidote for the potion, and she believed results would be out soon.
At that moment. Vivienne’s phone rang
It was Matthew
She picked up the call, responded to whatever was said on the other end, and finally told Matthew, “Alright, bring them over”
“Drive me back to the Brooks Mansion. She said after hanging up
Percival cocked his head. “Who are we bringing over?”
Vivienne gave him a coy smile. “You’ll see when we get there”
Percival didn’t ask further and started the car
Half an hour later they stopped about a mile away from the Brooks Mansion.
Soon, another car pulled up
Matthew got out, and with him were Dorian and Cordelia
Percival raised an eyebrow Rowan, Ismene?”
The Dorian and Cordelia in front of him were actually Rowan and Ismene in disguise.
Vivienne smirked its only polite to return a favor”
Rowan and Ismene approached her. “Vivienne”
“Hmm” Vivienne responded nonchalantly ‘Once inside, just act like before”
“Don’t worry. Vivienne We’ll do as you say Rowan assured her But the antidote.”
“You’ll get your antidote once the job is done. Vivienne replied indifferently
“Understood
It was a long night at the Miller household
Chapter 335
Mark hadn’t come home again Paula tried calling him numerous times throughout the night, but to no avail
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable” The automated female voice once again echoed in her ear
Frustrated Paula threw her phone onto the bed and was just about to take a shower when suddenly, someone climbed in through the balcony window
“Ah Paula let out a scream, only to have it muffled when someone covered her mouth with a cloth. After a brief struggle she felt dizzy and farted
When Paula finally came to she found herself looking into the eyes of Vivienne and Percival
She was bound and could not move
She struggled and glared at Vivienne with hatred in her eyes Vivienne you little witch! What do you want with me? I’m warning you; you better let me
Vivienne stood over her while looking down calmly Didn’t you want to know where Arabella is? I can take you to her
Paula was taken aback. You would do that? Out of the kindness of your heart?
Heh Vivienne laughed Tve always been rather kind
Right She would never admit that she wasn’t a kind person
“Where is she?” Paula asked impatiently
“She’s
Vivienne deliberately trailed off as her eyes twinkled with amusement in a certain state, entertaining clients, I believe
Upon hearing this Paula started shaking with rage Vonenne” How dare you? How dare you do this to my Katara
Vivienne just shrugged as she wore a smirk on her face Paula, you’re being rather ungrateful I was just trying to save Katara
“You re full of crap! You sent her to that place, and you have the nerve to say you saved her? Paula was beside herself with anger
She was right
It was Vivienne
While she was living the good life at the Brooks Mansion, she sent Katara to suffer in that hellhole
Entertaining clients
How could her Katara be doing such a thing?
“Katara tried to commit suicide several times but was always saved in the nick of time. Despite the scar on her face, she knew how to use her assets and win over clients Now she’s the top girl in the state, and she’s making a lot of money So, you see her laugh grew deeper. I did save her didn’t [7′′
“Ahhhh” Paula screamed at the top of her lungs “Vivienne, I will kill your
She struggled with all her might, but the person behind her kicked her to the ground and pinned her down, rendering her immobile
She lost all rational thought and began hurling a barrage of insults at Vivienne
“You’ll pay for this! You’re just like your mother! You’re a cheap harlot who seduces men! Your mother’s in hell, and you’ll join her soon! If you have the guts.
Il come after you for the rest of my life! I will avenge Katara!”
Vivienne just laughed. “You wont get the chance. Paula‘
Paula thought back to Vivienne’s earlier words about taking her to Arabella, and a wave of fear washed over her
But then she burst into hysterical laughter Hahahal Scott lost Katara, and now she’s ended up like this, but he never thought his own daughter would tum You didn’t come to find your family you came to bring disaster to the Brooks family!
You’re just like your mother You’ll bring nothing but doom to the Brooks family its pitiful how my parents think you’re a good person and ans laughable how have they are! God Why don you strike this little witch down with lightning and let her join her mother?”
She continued her trade but Vivienne remained calm. She showed no signs of anger
Exhausted, Paula collapsed on the floor while continuing to glare al Vienne with pure hatred in her eyes
Seeing that she had stopped talking Vivienne crouched down and looked at her. After a pause, she said. “) am not Scoffs
Paula’s eyes widened in shock. “You

daughter. Let’s gun
12:39
With that Percival and Vivienne left.
The following days were quiet
Rowan and Ismene continued to play the part of Donan and Cordelia, coming and going freely while staying at the Brooks Mansion
Meanwhile, the investigation into the missing infants led by Vivienne and Percival hadn’t yielded any results yet
These past few days. Vivienne had been splitting her time between the lab, checking on her experiments, and arranging the establishment of a new company with Donian
Rowan had previously attempted to swindle the perfume formula from Vivienne under the guise of starting a company In reality, they had no intention of setting up a business, it was all a charade for Vivienne’s benefit.
However it was undeniable that Dorian had a knack for business
In Havenwood Beatrice looked down on her meek son and was constantly suppressing him Little did she know that the one with true potential was Dorian
In just a few days. Donan had already formulated a plan, located a suitable business premise, and started recruiting staff
However, with Mr B still at large and the person who had been messaging Vivienne still unidentified, Dorian had to keep the formation of his company under wraps.
The most pressing issue at the moment was Thaddeus education
Since Donan and Cordelia decided to stay in Rivenwood. Thaddeus could no longer attend Capital Elementary School in Havenwood, especially since the school was on break
A few days ago. Vivienne had arranged for Thaddeus school transfer to Heston Elementary School in Rivenwood, another prestigious institution
However Thaddeus had experienced constant abuse and kidnapping during his transition from Havenwood to Rivenwood, causing him significant emotional distress. He was finding it difficult to fit in with his new classmates
Furthermore, he was lagging behind his peers
Dorian and Cordelia were worried that he wouldn’t be able to keep up academically, so they asked Vivienne to find a private tutor for him.
While Vivienne was capable of teaching him herself, she had her plate full with her lab work, investigating the situation with GTO, and searching for the missing infants With so much on her plate, Vivienne agreed to Donians request.
Chapter 336
Vivienne’s intention to hire a private tutor for Thaddeus soon caught Judith’s attention.
She promptly came over and volunteered enthusiastically “Vivienne, I heard you’re looking for a tutor for Thaddeus so he can have lessons at home. Why don’t you let me handle it?
Although Thaddeus being kidnapped wasn’t her doing, it was still linked to her nonetheless
She, as Paula’s mother couldn’t pretend that the havoc she had caused didn’t happen
“That’s not necessary!” Vivienne refused outright
If she had felt a bit of fondness for Judith before, she certainly wouldn’t show her true feelings now
If it weren’t for Paula’s foolishness and the mess she made. Thaddeus wouldn’t have been traumatized Judith sighed and continued) Temble Let me make amends by finding a tutor for Thaddeus
very time i think abou
Despite Judith’s sincerity Vivienne remained unmoved Judith can handle my brother’s matters The Brooks family need not concern themselves
Judith stiffened when she heard Vivienne address her like this
Vivienne used to call her grandma
Now she wouldn’t even use that term
It seemed that Paula’s actions had deeply hurt her
Judith sighed “Vivienne i know you bear a grudge against me and against the Brooks family, but I sincerely want to do something for you Finding a tut promise to find a reliable teacher for Thaddeus ”
After a pause, Judith continued I noticed you ve been coming home late recently, so I assume you’re quite busy I also heard your foster parents are sta and you’re probably helping them Let me handle these small matters
The foster parents she mentioned were actually Rowan and Ismene.
She didn’t know their charade so seeing them frequently coming and going, she knew about their plans to start a company
Vivienne narrowed her eyes. Indeed, she had been quite busy lately Selecting a tutor required careful screening and interviews Regardless of other factors, the le family should be able to handle this well
After a moment of silence Vivienne nodded Alright, thank you”
“Dont worry Judith patted her hand with a smile will find the most suitable tutor for Thaddeus. I will make sure he doesn’t fall behind in his stu
While they were talking a servant came to knock on the door
What is it? Judith asked
“Miss Pendleton is here She wishes to see you” The servant quickly reported.
Miss Pendleton?
Vivienne raised an eyebrow Calista was like a bad penny
Was she trying to make her anxious to give her some entertainment?
Judith could tell Vivienne didn’t particularly like Calista, but she was a guest and a close friend of the family. They couldn’t tum her away, so the signated the
her in
The servant nodded and left
Soon, she brought Calista in
As soon as Calista entered the living room, she saw Judith and Vivienne sitting there
Her heart skipped a beat and she smiled Judith. Vivienne
Her visit wasnt for anything else but to inquire about Vivienne’s situation
The last time she ran into Vivienne near the research institution she couldn’t figure out why she was there and was even more envious that PercÍNÚ

gave Vivienne the right to be cherished by both Percival and Judith?
The more she thought about it, the more she didnt understand, causing her resentment to grow
Judith didn’t notice the expression on Calista’s face She turned to the maid beside her and said, ‘I want you to find the best private tutor in town. Someone with pristine credentials and a spotless background I want nothing but the best, and I want it quickly. Don’t delay!”
The maid nodded and left immediately
Upon hearing this, Calista asked Judith how come you suddenly thought of hiring a private tutor?”
Judith didn’t think it was a secret that she needed to hire a tutor for Thaddeus “Vivienne is thinking about getting a tutor for her little brother”
Vivienne’s little brother?
Calista had heard that Vivienne had a little brother, and he was currently living with the Brooks family
Wasn’t this a golden opportunity?
If she could become Thaddeus tutor, she could legitimately come and go from the Brooks household and interact more with Judith and Baron.
She didn’t particularly care about her relationship with the Brooks family, but she was aware of the ties between the older generations.
If she could win the favor of Baron and Judith, her mother could easily marry into the Brooks family, and with the connection of the Brooks family, marrying Percival would be a breeze
With that thought, Calista chimed in Judith, I actually have some free time lately, so I could help him catch up on his studies.”
“You? Judith was taken aback
Calista came from a medical family and was currently working at a research institute. Where did she find the time to tutor a child?
Calista explained with a smile, “Judith, there’s some misunderstanding between me and Vivienne I thought this might be a good opportunity to ease our relationship You wouldn’t want us to act like enemies every time we meet, would you? We’re all from the same social circle, after all, and our families interact regularly. This hostility isn’t good for either of us
Judith could somewhat see through Calista’s little scheme, and although she was aware that Calista was trying to marry her mother off to Scott, she couldn’t deny that Calista would indeed make an excellent tutor Her credentials were top–notch She was among the elite nationwide
After much thought, Judith agreed “Alright, if you’re willing, then I’ll have to trouble you Thaddeus is a child of the Brooks family, and i hope he can learn well, so he won’t let Vivienne down
Calista’s lips curled up in a smile as she replied. “Leave it to me. You won’t be disappointed
Chapter 337
With Judith’s consent, under the guise of tutoring Thaddeus, Calista began to frequently visit the Brooks Mansion
The Brooks family was somewhat surprised by her frequent visits, but out of respect for their matriarch, no one raised any objections “Thaddeus could you try solving this problem?
Calista, bored out of her mind, flipped through his textbook and tossed a workbook in front of Thaddeus
Thaddeus was still just a kid He was hardly capable of basic arithmetic
After looking at the exercises in the textbook the felt like a joke
Here she was a medical prodigy admired by all teaching a child to add and subtract
One plus one equals two two apples plus three apples make five
If it weren’t for her ultenor motives, she would never put up with this
“Calista Thaddeus. holding his third–grade workbook, said uncomfortably can’t
“You’re so stupid Calista scolded him. She closed the textbook and said, “If it werent for your sister, Vivienne, do you think you could stay in the
no connection with the Brooks family You’re a mere branch member trying to climb up to the main Brooks family it’s wishful thinking?
Thaddeus bit his hip as tears welled up in his eyes
“You dam cry?” Calista sneered “You’re just like your sister! You’re pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy. Who do you think you’re fooling? Do you thi the Brooks family?
As she spoke she gave Thaddeus a pinch out of frustration “Its all because of your sister! She stole everything that was mine! You two siblings are the same. You both deserve deathr
Thaddeus tried to dodge, but he still defended Vivienne. “My sister is not like that! You can’t speak ill of my sister! She’s good to me! She’s good at everything
The more Thaddeus defended Vivienne, the angrier Calista got
Why did everyone think Vivienne was so good? Baron and Richard were also fond of Vivienne, and Percival treated her like a treasure
“Shut up!” Calista snapped and lost her temper
Thaddeus stubbornly looked at her with tears streaming down his face
Thaddeus, come have some fruit! Just then, Judith and a maid walked in and saw this “What’s wrong? Why is he crying?”
The maid placed a bowl of fruit on the table, and Judith quickly strode over to wipe Thaddeus‘ tears. “Thaddeus, tell Grandma why you are crying”
L‘
Thaddeus was about to answer honestly when Calista glared at him sharply
He closed his mouth in fear and turned his head away
The problems were two difficult Calista quickly pretended to be considerate and answered, “Thaddeus couldn’t solve them and got upset.
Judith believed her and comforted Thaddeus if you can’t solve them, just learn slowly Calista is very good if you learn from her, you will succeed in your studies.
“Of course, Thaddeus is very smart and can catch up quickly I believe he will catch up soon” Calista’s gaze was threatening as she stared at
That’s right Thaddeus is Vivienne’s brother so of course he’s smart”
Judith patted Thaddeus head Then study hard Grandma will have someone prepare your favorite snacks. You can eat them after class
Thaddeus nodded timidly not daring to look into Judiths eyes
Judith soon left with the maid leaving Calista and Thaddeus alone in the room
“Good Just like that if you dare tell the truth, Fl make you regret it Calista satisfyingly said
Thaddeus lowered his head in fear, not daring to speak
A few days

After handing its matter Vivienne returned to the Brocka
When she arrived it was lunchtime
As soon as she entered she saw Calista stung at the dining table
She frowned, walked over and sat next to Thaddeus with a displeased expression.
Judith laughed. “Vivienne we haven’t seen you for a few days Did something happen?”
Vivienne glanced at Thaddeus and replied to Judiths question “Yes, I had some things to take care of”
As she finished speaking, she reached up to pat Thaddeus head, but he deftly sidestepped her
Vivienne’s fingers hovered, and her voice was a soft murmur as she asked. “Thaddeus, how have you been these past few days?”
I’m I’m doing fine” Thaddeus voice was so soft that Vivienne who was sitting next to him could barely hear him.
Vivienne glanced at him with an indecipherable gaze She then swept her eyes over the crowit gathered at the dinner table as a cold chill emanated from her
She looked up at Judith, her voice as cold as a winter frost “Who has been bullying Thaddeus while I was away?”
Judith looked startled, then she quickly replied. “What are you talking about? Thaddeus is well respected in the Brooks household I’ve made that clear to everyone. No one would dare bully him”
“Is that so
Vivienne’s fork clattered onto the table “Do you think I am blind to the changes in my brother
The Brooks family members exchanged surprised glances
“Vivienne have you misunderstood something? I can assure you that no one in the Brooks household would dare bully Thaddeus Judith said quickly
“Assure Vivienne coldly looked at her “1s your assurance worth anything?”
Judith was taken aback.
Her assurance was indeed worthless
Despite Paula’s repeated disruptions the Brooks family, although they promised strict punishment, always ended up protecting her because she was their kin
Just a few days ago, the Miller family unexpectedly showed up, claiming Paula had gone missing. Even though Judith had claimed to sever ties with Paula, she still pert people to search for her
Judith’s game fell or Thaddeus She hadn’t noticed any changes in him
From the moment Thaddeus arved at the Brooks household he rarely spoke and seemed afraid to interact with people.
So she didn’t understand why Vivienne was so upset
On second thought Vivienne and Thaddeus had a close relationship. Perhaps Vivienne had noticed something that others hadn’t After a moment’s consideration, Judith proposed an idea. “Is it the tutoring? Has it been too tiring and made Thaddeus unhappy?”
“Tutoring Vivienne asked as she furrowed her brow
“Yes. Vivienne, I am currently Thaddeus home tutor Calista responded calmly, “Were you not aware?
Chapter 339
The International Mathematics Olympiad tests might not have tons of problems, but each one is devilishly difficult
They were fraught with traps and quirks, requiring the solver to patiently unravel them.
One misstep, and you’d be lost in the fog. Your calculations would lead nowhere
Yet, Vivienne claimed to have solved everything in just fifteen minutes
How was that possible”
Mila looked at Vivienne in disbelief, while Calistas heart was in turmoil
This was her second attempt at the problem set, and she was not even halfway through.
How could Vivienne have done it so quickly? She must have just scribbled down answers without even reading the questions
“Vivienne, problem–solving isn’t just about speed, it’s also about accuracy Mila cast a glance at Judith, who was waiting for the results “What does it prove if you write quickly but don’t answer correctly? It’s better to take your time and produce a flawless paper
Vivienne raised an eyebrow as if she’d heard a joke “Waste of time
“What did you say? Mila was taken aback
Vivienne tossed her paper to Mila I can do five sets of these problems in an hour”
“You.” Mila suppressed her anger. Do you know that these are problems from the International Mathematics Olympiad? They were designed by math experts! Anyone who scores above 90 is considered exceptional!
She was continuously praising Calista’s skills, hoping to impress the Brooks family
However, Vivienne was unfazed, and her expression remained unchanged.
“Hmm!” Vivienne scoffed “Your daughter took so long to solve one set. What makes her qualified to tutor my! brother?”
Mila was indignant. But she could find no words to counter.
At this point, Calista had finally completed her paper.
She had given it her all, but she had no idea if she stood a chance
After seeing Mila about to check the answers, Kala interjected. ‘For fairness, let’s let Grandma check them
Upon hearing this, Mila and Calista were taken aback
Mila had onginally planned to cover up any errors Calista might have made while checking, but she didn’t expect her plans to be thwarted by Kala’s sudden interruption
“There’s no need to trouble Grandma with such trivial matters. I can handle it” Mila said.
Kala chuckled “Don’t you trust Grandma to be fair? Or do you think she can’t handle such a small task?”
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Mila could only hand the papers to Judith.
Judith was eager to see the results of the contest. She wanted to see whether Calista or her own granddaughter was the better
She first corrected Calista’s paper and praised her. Not bad. Got 98 questions right
This score was an improvement over Calista’s first attempt. A reflection that she had indeed been revising
Mits also quickly added, Calista’s level is something many graduate students cant match
How could Vivienne possibly outperform her daughter? Even if she was a double doctoral student, it didn’t matter
Her Calista wasnt inferior
In terms of intelligence Vivienne was certainly no match for Calista
Judith immediately began checking the next paper. Her expression grew brighter as she progressed, unable to hide her delight by the end.
Full marks! Full marks Vivienne didn’t make a single mistake!”
Mila and Calista exchanged stunned looks.
How was that possible?
7) knew my cousin wouldn’t be outdone by anyone else Carl acted as if he had won the competition himself. He was both proud and elated. It seems Ms. Pendakorra skills are mediocre I wonder if she really is capable of tutoring Thaddeus
Calista felt as if she had been slapped across the face. She could genuinely feel the sting in her cheek.
If it werent for Judith’s presence she would have lost her temper right then
“Vivienne is indeed impressive Calista grudgingly admitted, although she was seething inside. “But fim more than capable of tutoring Thaddeus
“Really? Viserne looked at her then walked over to Thaddeus and gently patted his head. “Thadkus, tell your sister, do you want her to tutor you‘
Thaddeus bit his lip and didn’t dare speak. He was just staring at the ground.

With the support of the Brooks family. Thaddeus felt somewhat reassured.
“Calista doesn’t teach me She just gives me problems to solve. If I can’t solve them, she hits me, yells at me, and pinches me.”
Thaddeus timidly replied as he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his bruised arms from Calista’s pinches
“What?” Judith stood up in a huff from the sofa
Vivienne’s eyes narrowed Her gaze turned to Calista with a burning intensity that could tear her to shreds.
“No, no Calista quickly defended herself “Why would I harm a child? Thaddeus, did you just fall and get that bruise?”
She shot Thaddeus a warning look, cautioning him to remain quiet
Kala, catching sight of Thaddeus’s injury was seething with rage She blurted out, “You dare deny it? You say a fall caused this? Then why don’t you fall and show me how it’s done? This is obviously a finger shaped bruise
Carl chimed in “We can have the injury examined. The examination will reveal whether he fell or was beaten. We can find the truth!”
A sudden fear gripped Calista
An examination was out of the question
If they conducted one, everyone would know about her disciplining Thaddeus
With that thought she quickly said. “This is all a misunderstanding. I was just being hard on him because I care.”
“Yes, that’s right Mila joined in, defending her daughter “How else do you get a child to behave? A little spanking always does the trick!
“Absurd” Judith slammed her hand on the table as her whole body shook with anger. “You dare call hurting Thaddeus a misunderstanding? You’ve inflicted harm and left him with emotional scars! Can you bear that responsibility?!*
As Judith’s words hung in the alt, Vivienne spoke in a calm tone. “Judith, you’re saying too much.”
Chapter
Chapter 340
Judith froze, not understanding what Vivienne meant.
Although it was her mistake to employ Calista as Thaddeus‘ tutor and her failure to notice that Calista was physically punishing Thaddeus, she was now clearly taking
Thaddeus” side
Vivienne ignored Judith. Instead, she walked up to Calista with an expressionless look on her face.
Calista was visibly rattled under Vivienne’s gaze “Vivienne! I…….“
WHAM!
Calista barely got out two words before Vivienne sent her flying with a kick.
Vivienne’s kick was full of power
Calista, having no fighting training and no regular physical exercise, was sent crashing into the opposite wall by Vivienne’s kick and then fell heavily to the floor
At the moment of the fall, Calista felt as if all her bones were falling apart
Then she spat out a mouthful of blood “Puh”
Mila was so shocked by the scene that she was completely stunned and didn’t react for a long time
When she finally came to her senses, she let out a loud yell, ‘Ah Calista”
She rushed over to help Calista, but Calista was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak. She could only look at Vivienne with wide eyes, unable to make a sound
Judith, along with the Brooks family members, were all taken aback by Vivienne’s quick action.
After Mila had just picked up Calista and while the Brooks family members were still stunned, Vivienne quickly moved forward, grabbed Calista by the collar, and flung her
away
Calista felt as though her bones were about to break from the fall
Now she felt as though her internal organs were about to explode, causing her to gasp for air
She looked up to see Vivienne approaching her like a demon from hell.
With each step Vivienne took towards her, Calista felt like she was being crushed by an invisible giant mountain, causing her breath to quicken.
She struggled to back away and finally managed to let out a sound. “What… what are you doing? Murder murder is illegal!”
Vivienne continued to walk towards her with an expressionless face and a voice as cold as ice Twon’t kill you! I’ll make you wish you were dead?”
In that moment. Calista felt fear
A fear that she had never experienced before
She panicked and quickly began begging for mercy. “I was wrong! I will never do it again! Please spare mel
Vivienne stood in front of her, looking down at her like she was an insignificant ant. “I said whoever dares to hurt my family will suffer a fate worse than de
Upon hearing this. Judith’s eyes narrowed
Vivienne was do protective of her adoptive parents‘ family yet she was distant with them
Clearly they had hurt Vivienne’s heart
“What
what do you want? Calista saw the coldness in Vivienne’s eyes, and inexplicably, she felt as though the end of the world was near
Vivienne didn’t answer She just picked her up and punched her in the stomach
Calista spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot
Mila screamed in fright: “Vivienne” Let go of Calista! I will fight your
As she said this, she rushed forward to hit Vivienne, but was instantly kicked away.
Mila was positioned against the door so Viviennes kick sent her crashing into it.
Everyone heard a crack. It was the sound of her bones breaking
Vivienne turned her head, then landed another punch on Calistas stomach
This time her fingert were wrapped around several silver needles, which pierced into Calistas stomach when she punched her
Instantly an unknown liquid flowed out of Calista & body
Upon seeing this, Kala, Carl, and Ashley all covered their hoses and took a step back.
How embarrassing
The daughter of the prestigious Pendleton family actually wet herself in public.
After receiving that punch, Calista completely p

How was his cousin this incredibly wealthy?!
He had to hold onto her tightly
Perhaps if his cousin was in a good mood, she might give 12 million to compensate for the money he lost in the auction
With this thought, Carl happily returned to the Brooks Mansion
When he got back, Calista was still lying unconscious on the ground
Mila was also writhing in agony on the ground from Vivienne’s kick.
The others in the Brooks family were silent, watching Vivienne, who stood in the middle of the living mom, as she exuded a powerful aura,
Cart handed the money to Vivienne “Cousin, I’ve got the money”
Vivienne took the money “Thanks”
Then, she walked up to Calista, took out a silver needle, and pricked her
Soon, Calista woke up
Vivienne threw the two hundred thousand dollars in front of Calista. This is for your medical bills.” She coldly said
Calista gritted her teeth as she looked at Vivienne. “I won’t let you get away with this!”
She felt pain all over her body, even breathing was difficult
She hated Vivienne
She would definitely not let Vivienne off easy
The icy glint in Vivienne’s eyes sharpened. “You think a beating will make up for the hurt my brother has endured? Calista, you’ll pay for your folly
Before Calista could respond, Vivienne whipped out her phone and dialed a number
“William Pendleton! Your daughter and I have a score to settle Be at the Brooks‘ residence in ten minutes!”
Without waiting for a response, she ended the call
Ten minutes later a flustered William dashed m
Upon seeing Vivienne he hurried over and with respectful urgency, said, “What’s wrong teacher?”
The room fell silent Mila and Calista were stunned. They were unable to recover from their shock
Calista was the first to regain her senses and exclaimed, “Dad What are you doing? Why are you calling her teacher? She’s just a hick from the sticks who’s done this to me Dad, you need to avenge me!”
“Quiet William barked. The clearly spoiled you rotten!”
Without asking for specifics, William turned to Vivienne and apologized. “I’m sorry for not disciplining my daughter”
He didn’t beg Vivienne to forgive Calista
He knew Vivienne well enough to know that she wouldn’t have called him unless she was extremely angry
“I didn’t call you here to hear an apology Vivienne said coldly
William bowed his head ‘Yes, it’s too late to apologize. I’ll discipline my daughter better in the future, so she won’t offend you again.”
Vivienne pulled out a chair and sat down, crossing her legs as she leaned back with a casual air. Her cool gaze fixed on William, and after a long pause, she stated. “Wikan, you’ve been a cuckold for over twenty years. Surely, you’ve had enough”
William stiffened and felt perplexed. “What do you mean?”
Mila however had a sudden sinking feeling in her heart.
No!

Vienne couldn’t be talking about that
Only a few people knew about that
