Meanwhile.
"Walter, don't move, the doctor said you can't get out of bed yet," Clara looked at her son with concern.
Who would have thought Jared's throw could fracture someone's bones so easily? If not for the hospital, Walter
might not have survived.
Walter limped to the couch, "I've almost gone mad lying in bed all this time."
And lying down wasn't helping; the pain was unbearable, better to move around.
Walter waved his hand impatiently, "Leavebe for now. What's the deal with Vivienne? Why was she kicked
out?"
At this, Clara was furious, "What else could it be? That wretch Tina schemed it all, and Jared's no better. No
matter how well Vivienne treated him, how could he drive her out of the company?"
"I said from the start-letjoin the company instead of letting Vivienne take all the limelight. And now, what are
we supposed to do? Wait to starve?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClara retorted, "Wasn't it initially your refusal to join the company, preferring your useless paintings instead?"
Walter exclaimed, "You really are my mother!"

Alexander, sitting nearby, was also furious, yelling towards Vivienne's room upstairs, "Vivienne, what are you
doing hiding in your room all day? Think hiding there will get you back in the company? Cout and figure out
a way to get your grandfather to get you back in!"
Vivienne was their financial pillar; half their savings cfrom the profits she generated at the company.
Now things had really turned sour, as she was ousted from her position, losing at least half of her sustenance.
Vivienne sat in her room, listening to her parents and Walter downstairs, airing their grievances about her. She
put on her headphones, locked the door, and ignored them. Being kicked out of the company wasn't what
worried her most. What truly troubled her were the covert deals she had been involved in. Her business dealings
extended far beyond the art gallery; they also involved leveraging her company's resources and connections,
even using the company's transportation for shipments. This was her way of making money, the very foundation
of her existence. Moreover, she had signed agreements with certain individuals, and failure to meet the
obligations could be deadly.
Vivienne unlocked her phone and dialed an unknown number. "How's it going?"
"The person is still in our hands, slowly being moved as per your instructions." "Good, keep an eye on them. I'll
find a chance to send her away."
After hanging up, Vivienne rubbed her fingertips, her usually cold face gradually losing its color. Then, she
unexpectedly received another call. It was from an unfamiliar number. After a moment's hesitation, she
answered, "Who is this?" A female voice cthrough, "Miss Farrell, this is Lily."
Vivienne paused. Lily? She wasn't close to Lily, but being in the scircles, she had heard of her. Lily had once
been considered a prodigy doctor, the adopted daughter of the original head of the Reed family. However, since
Jasper was arrested, Lily seemed to have faded from the public eye. Why would she call now?
"What can | do for you?" Vivienne asked, her smile instantly dispelling the gloom.
Lily's voice brightened, "Do you have stime? Maybe for a coffee?"
"Sure, see you in a bit."
Elsewhere, Jared had taken Hugo's family to see a psychologist and then picked up Tina. They drove Hugo and
his family back home. On the way, Jared mentioned, "The doctor said there's nothing to worry about. Bobby has
grown up; he won't have nightmares anymore."
Zackary nodded vigorously, proudly looking at Tina, "Yeah, sis, Hayden bro said this incident was just an
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexperience in life, something to brag about over drinks years from now. I'm not scared at all."
Tina ruffled Zackary's hair, "You're really brave."
But what on earth was Hayden bro? Tina looked at Jared, who just shrugged. Who else but Hayden? On this
journey, he'd almost becsworn brothers with Zackary. They even insisted on calling him Hayden bro, which
sounded mighty impressive.
Hayden: Isn't it impressive?
Tina helplessly said, "Mom and Dad, you don't have to go to the office today. Take a good rest. I've already asked
for leave for Bobby at school."
Hugo nodded, still a bit shaken by the events of the previous day, indeed not in the mood for work. Then he
looked worriedly at Tina, "And you?"
"I'm here, Dad, don't worry," Jared said, wrapping an arm around Tina's waist reassuringly.
Hugo didn't say more, feeling reassured with Jared by Tina's side.
After dropping Hugo and his family off, Jared and Tina had to leave due to other commitments. After they left,
Elsa's door cracked open slightly. Just then, her phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, she answered. Whatever
was said on the other end, Elsa replied, "Yes, agreed. I'll prepare everything, and I'll bring her over tomorrow."
"Understood."
Elsa hung up, her eyes shadowed with unreadable thoughts.
