Chapter 329
Paula’s face was devoid of warmth. There was a rare hint of fear in her eyes.
“What are you planning?”
“Scared?” Vivienne asked softly. “Too late for that now.”
She didn’t mind seeing Paula and Arabella meet the same fate. It would only barely satisfy her.
“Vivienne…” Judith hesitated before speaking. “Let me deal with Paula.”
She wasn’t attempting to defend Paula. She despised the mistakes Paula had made just as much. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
But they were blood-related, and she couldn’t bear to see Paula in such a miserable state.
Vivienne looked at her and, in a neutral tone, asked. “And how would you deal with her?”
“I promise you’ll be satisfied.” Judith turned to Paula. “Paula, what you did today was way out of line!
Vivienne is Scott’s daughter. She’s a member of the Brooks family. How could you be so cruel?”
“Why shouldn’t I be cruel?” Paula had lost her rationality. “He separated me and my daughter for over a
decade! I just want his daughter to have a taste of suffering!” She yelled.
“You’ve lost your mind! Enough! From now on, you’re not allowed to ever come back here. We have no
ties with you anymore.”
“Mom! You…” Paula looked at Judith in disbelief.
Her confidence came from knowing that her mother would always protect her, no matter what. But now,
even her mother didn’t want her to return to the Brooks home.
She even wanted to sever their relationship.
“I don’t want to say anything harsher.” Judith turned, refusing to look at her. “Take care of yourself.
Jacob, escort her out!”
She still felt motherly love for her. She couldn’t completely forget Paula.
But she had reached her limit. She even had the servants drive Paula out directly.
“Mom! For Vivienne’s sake, you’re even giving up on your own daughter?!” Paula yelled hoarsely,
struggling in vain as the servants supported her. Finally, she was thrown out of the Brooks Mansion.
Vivienne watched Paula being escorted out as the smile on her lips grew colder.
Was this the answer the Brooks family was giving her?
Ha!
Feeling her change in emotion, Percival wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered into her ear.
“Leave it to me; I’ll handle it.”
Vivienne looked at him and smiled lightly. “Alright.”
She had faith in her Mr. Wolf. He would handle it well.
At least better than the Brooks family.
The drama finally ended.
Fiona stood up. “Now that Vivienne’s brother has been found, I should get going. Grandfather is waiting
for news. I need to update him on the situation.”
Percival nodded as his unreadable gaze swept over her.
Fiona couldn’t decipher his expression, but it made her feel cold. It was as if she had been pricked by a
needle.
Fiona hurriedly left.
Judith sat on the couch, holding her forehead. “Vivienne, I apologize for the spectacle. I didn’t educate
Paula well, causing her to behave so poorly and make you and your brother suffer.”
Vivienne looked at her deeply and smiled brightly. “I’m not suffering.”
No one could make her suffer.
If she were unhappy, she would solve it her own way.
Judith held her hand and patted the back of it. “If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell me. I
won’t let it slide!”
“Mmm.” Vivienne replied lightly, not saying anything else.
...
Late at night.
In fake Dorian and Cordelia’s room.
Vivienne sat on a chair in the room, casually playing with a ring in her hand.
Half an hour later, the door opened.
Fake Dorian was about to turn on the lights when he heard a cold voice. “Mr. Hawthorn, Cordelia.”
Fake Dorian and Cordelia didn’t expect anyone to be in their room. They froze, and their expressions
became stiff.
In the darkness, they looked at each other before turning on the lights.
Vivienne was lounging on the chair. Her eyes were cold as she watched them, looking at them like they
were prey.
“Vivienne? What are you doing here?” Fake Dorian asked, feeling unsettled under her gaze.
He knew Vivienne knew he wasn’t the real Dorian. But since she didn’t expose him, he continued to
play along.
But now that Vivienne was waiting for them, he knew something bad was about to happen.
Vivienne glanced at him casually. “Why are you back so late?”
Fake Dorian forced a smile, pretending to be tired. “Cordelia and I were working on company matters,
so we came back late.”
“Is that so?” Vivienne raised an eyebrow. “So you didn’t know Thaddeus was kidnapped?”
“Thaddeus was kidnapped?” Fake Dorian and Cordelia exchanged a glance and frowned.
What happened?
They didn’t order anyone to kidnap Thaddeus.
Who acted on their own?
Vivienne’s eyes rose slightly, watching fake Dorian and fake Cordelia without a word.
Fake Dorian felt uneasy under her gaze. He laughed awkwardly. “Vivienne, why are you staring at us?
Did I say something wrong?”
Vivienne withdrew her gaze and calmly said, “No, I’m just informing you that Thaddeus has been
rescued.”
Fake Dorian hadn’t relaxed when Vivienne changed the subject. “Did you meet with GTO?”
Fake Dorian’s heart jumped. “What do you mean?”
“Mistaking my taste, messing up the dishes, and other series of mistakes. Is this the level of GTO’s
people?” Vivienne looked at them expressionlessly.
"Vivienne, are you okay? You're not making any sense." Fake Cordelia said as a look of unease
washed over her face.
Fake Dorian quickly added, "Yeah, if you're tired, get some rest. We need you well-rested. We don't
want you to get sick. Cordelia and I would worry."
"Rowan and Ismene." Vivienne calmly uttered their names.
Rowan and Ismene froze in shock!
She knew they were impostors, and she even knew their names?!
How could this be?
Few people within their organization knew their real names. How had Vivienne found out?
After a moment of shock, Rowan collected himself. In an instant, his demeanor changed from gentle to
harsh. "Since you've figured it out, there's nothing more to discuss! You won't get a word about GTO
from us, let alone the whereabouts of Dorian and Cordelia!"
If she managed to rescue Dorian and Cordelia, they would completely lose their bargaining chip.
"I never intended to get their location from you." Vivienne said.
Rowan was taken aback, but before he could respond, Vivienne raised her hand.
His vision went black, and he and Ismene collapsed.
While looking down at the unconscious pair, Vivienne's expression remained cold.
At that moment, Matthew climbed in through the window, landing lightly in front of her. "Vivienne."
"Take them away. Lock them up somewhere secure."
"Understood."
With that, Matthew hoisted up the unconscious duo and carried them out.
