Chapter 303
Half a month had passed since the North Peak race
Scott needed to leave town for a few days, so Vivienne decided that it was time to make her move
She carefully calculated her timing, planning to sneak into Scott’s study under the cover of night when
all of the Brooks family were sound asleep. Her goal was to unlock his safe and discover its secrets.
However, before she could even begin her mission, Kala turned up in her room to invite her to watch a
show
“Vivienne!” Kala was in high spints. She pulled Vivienne towards their home theater to share a new
show she was hooked on “This show is absolutely brilliant! The chemistry between the leads is simply
unparalleled!”
Vivienne didn’t know what to say.
Could she admit that she couldn’t care less about TV shows?
Oblivious to Viviennes lack of enthusiasm, Kala dragged her to the home theater regardless
Once Kala started a show she couldn’t stop. She discussed the plot with Vivienne until late into the
night, showing no signs of fatigue.
“Look at him, Vienne! Don’t you think the lead guy is just so handsome 71”
Vivienne glanced at the screen without much interest
Was he handsome?
He was nothing compared to her Mr. Wolf
While resting her chin on her palm, she barely took notice of the cliched drama on the screen, choosing
instead to think of Percival, who was off somewhere
They hardly saw each other lately. She now felt lucky to see him once every couple of weeks.
She’d grown accustomed to the feeling of having Percival around her. Once a person got used to
something, it became hard to break that habit.
They continued watching the show until the wee hours of the morning. It was only around three o’clock
when Kala finally felt exhausted. She rubbed her eyes as she said. “I’m so tired, Vivienne. Let’s call it a
night”
“Alright Vivienne stood up, preparing to return to her room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKala waved her off sleepily, yawning as she headed to her own room.
Vivienne first disabled the surveillance in the study, then skillfully located the safe.
The safe was exactly where it had been. There were no signs of it having been moved it seemed Scott
hadn’t realized it had been tampered with
Vivienne carefully observed the safe, then pulled a pair of tweezers from her tool kit. She was about to
start working when she heard a faint noise outside.
Someone was there?
Her eyes narrowed as she grabbed her toolkit and crouched next to Scott’s desk, listening to the
movements outside.
The footsteps slowly approached the study, paused outside the door, and then opened it
Vivienne held her breath, hiding her presence completely
“Where is it?”
It was a familiar female voice
Vivienne looked up, and her brows instantly furrowed
Paula Brooks?
What was she doing here?
Paula didn’t live at the Brooks Mansion anymore. After her previous tantrum, Baron kicked her out and
banned her from returning.
It seemed that she still had the gall to sneak back into the mansion in the middle of the night and enter
Scott’s study
Vivienne squinted her eyes. What was she looking for?
Noticing that Paula was approaching the desk where she was hiding Vivienne took out a marble from
her toolkit and threw it out the door
The marble rolled quickly and hit a vase stand in the hallway making a loud noise
“A” Paula let out a yelp of surprise, then quickly covered her mouth and started looking around in panic
She didn’t see anyone around, but her guilt added to her fear
She had snuck back into the Brooks Mansion and was rummaging through Scott’s study if Baron or
Scott found out, they’d be furious
Paula’s heart pounded like a drum in her chest as she turned and fled
Once she was gone, Vivienne reopened her toolkit, took out her tweears, and started working on the
safe again
The safe was made of special materials and had three layers of security to ensure its contents were
kept safe and intact
She switched out her tools as needed, and within three minutes, she turned the hande
The safe made a click and she opened it
She carefully pulled open the door to find a ring and a
notebook inside
Vivienne took out the notebook and flipped through it as her eyes harrowed with every page it was a
love letter Scuff had antten to her mother
“Karen, where are you? I think about you every moment of every day if you were still here we might be
matching the snowtail at Anci
“Today weather is so beautiful just like the day we first met I wonder if you remember. For me, it was an
unforgettable memory “
“You are the love of my life I could never love anyone else‘
Vivienne read a few more pages, but her beautiful face remained expressionless
She picked up the ring from the safe and stared at it for a while.
Then she chuckled as a mocking smile spread across her lips

Chapter 303
Heh!
She had underestimated Scott after all
Did he really think that preparing these items would make her believe him?
Her expression cooled as she put everything back into the safe
She didn’t bother to wipe off her fingerprints
Since Scott had already detected her presence and had thoughtfully prepared these items for her to
find erasing her traces would be superfluous.
She might as well tell him straight out that she had been here and that she had seen everything.
The next day
After breakfast at the Brooks Mansion, everyone left and only Vivienne remained when Mila came over
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDespite being scolded the last time she visited, Mila hadn’t given up She was determined to change
Baron and Scott’s opinions of her
“Vivienne I’m glad you’re here”
As soon as she walked in, Mila headed towards Vivienne in the living mom with a bag in her hand She
sat down next to Vivienne, saying warmly, “I came to apologize for last time Calista was out of line for
upsetting you I’ve spoken to her about it. It was just a misunderstanding, after all. It’s normal to have
some friction. As long as we clear things up, everything will be fine.”
Mila sat near her, and her lips moved rapidly as she continuously chattered away.
Vivienne found it nothing short of noisy
This woman was amusing Her eagerness to see Scott was as clear as day, yet she always chose to
come when Scott was absent
What was her game?
Was she intending to win over the daughter since she couldn’t win over the father?
Hal
Vivienne was toying with her smartphone, not bothering to look up at her. She was too lazy to even
make up a response
“Vivienne” Seeing that Vivienne was ignoring her, Mila awkwardly brushed her hair as the smile on her
face froze
She had humbled herself to apologize, yet the other party didn’t even bother to give her a respectful
glance. Vivienne treated her as if she were invisible, like she was not even worth acknowledging
This is a gift brought for you. It’s the latest fashion item, it’s not even yet on the market. It’s a creation
from the designer, Myrna”
As she spoke. Mila carefully took out a coat from a paper bag, presenting it as if it were a treasure.
She had spent a significant amount of money and pulled many strings to purchase this piece of clothing
all to win Vivienne’s favor
Even though it cost her a pretty penny, thinking about the potential of becoming the matriarch of the
Brooks family made all the money seem insignificant. She grudgingly accepted the cost
Only those who could endure would succeed. She had to win over Vivienne’s heart; that was the only
shortcut to success
“Oh? A piece from Myma? At this moment, Kala leisurely descended the stairs.
