Chapter 308
After dinner, Vivienne led Dorian and Cordelia to the quest room
Judith had already arranged for the room to be tidied up. It was spacious and comfortable.
Furthermore, everything inside was brand new
Dorian looked around and let out a few sighs of relief “After seeing Vivienne living well, I can finally feel
at ease I was worned about her being mistreated by the Brooks family”
Cordelia chuckled “With Vivienne’s capabilities, who would dare bully her? Don’t worry too much
Donan sighed. “You don’t understand. As a father, how can one not worry about their daughter? Even
though Vivienne has now been recognized by her biological family, in my eyes, the will always be my
own daughter”
Vivienne lifted her eyes subtly and cast a glance at him without him noticing. Her smile seemed to
deepen with every passing moment
After a moment she collected herself and spoke evenly “Mr Hawthom, did you take leave from your job
at Havenwood to come to Riverwood?”
Donan was taken aback then frowned “No I quith”
Vivienne raised her eyebrows “Quit?”
“Yes” Donan nodded. “At first, I thought the job was fine. It was decent, and it gave me a high salary.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut you wouldn’t believe how the chairman of Alliance Enterprises treats his employees. Despite my
projects being flawless, he would always find faults. He even insulted me in front of my colleagues. I
was so angry that I resigned
Vivienne found this amusing. “You mean, the Chairman of Alliance Enterprises publicly berated you?”
Interesting
“Yes!” Donians face was grim “So we came to Rivenwood not just to mend our relationship with the
Brooks family but also to seek new opportunities
Vivienne arched her eyebrow “What do you want to do?”
Dorian hesitated while looking at Vivienne. “Vienne, I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but I need
your approval.”
Vivienne listened with a placid expression. “Let’s hear it.‘
“I want to start my own business using your mother’s perfume formula Dorian paused and observed
Vivienne’s reaction.
Vivienne lifted her eyes, signaling for him to continue
Seeing no change in her expression Donan continued: “The Hawthorn family is in the past now, and I
don’t want to work for someone else forever. Thaddeus is still young. and his future education and
living expenses will be costly. Working at Alliance Enterprises alone won’t be enough to support our
family.
But as you know, the Hawthorn family got their start in the perfume business, and I don’t know much
else Your mother left her perfume formula, so I thought I could develop it and start my own company
However
Donan paused, then continued “When Cordelia was tidying up, she accidentally tore the formula I tried
to piece it together, but it was no use. So
Vivienne lifted her eyes slightly as her slender fingers played with a trinket on the table. “You want me
to provide the perfume formula”
Donan looked a bit embarrassed” “I know this might be difficult for you, considering it’s something your
mother left behind. But I thought that if i could start a successful business it would be a great help to
you, wouldnt it?”
Vivienne smirked Fine i give you the formula
Dorian was delighted “Vivienne, you’re wonderful I knew all the care I’ve shown you wasn’t in vain.”
Vivienne looked at him with a cold gaze and an inscrutable expression.
“By the way, there’s one more thing” Dorian suddenly remembered
Vivienne lifted her eyes signaling for him to continue again.
We don’t have any startup capital Dorian looked embarrassed “Right now I only have the 300 thousand
that Judith gave us if we want to start a company, 300 thousand is far from enough Vivienne, could you
talk to your father and ask him to invest in us?”
Vivienne’s fingers, resting on the table trinket, paused. Her gaze was thoughtful as she asked, “How
much do you need?”
“For startup capital, we’d need at least 2 million to begin with Donan said
Vivienne withdrew her hand from the trinket and casually said, “Fine! I’ll give you the 2 million. There’s

Donan and Cordelia were shocked
Neither of them expected Vivienne to agree so readily. They were momentarily speechless
After seeing their surprised expressions Vivienne arched an eyebrow “What?”
“Nothing” Donan quickly gathered his thoughts and laughed awkwardly just didn’t expect the Brooks
family to be so good to you. Giving you 2 million just like thach i your mother knew shed be so happy
Vivienne’s lips curled slightly as she looked at Dorian and Cordelia You two should mest now Don’t
worry about anything i
“Alright
Vivienne nodded and returned to her room
As the door closed behind her Vivienne’s eyes narrowed and an aura of stemness radiated from her.
She took out her phone and quickly dialed Matthew’s number
The call connected quickly “Visienne‘
“Did you find anything? Vivienne’s voice was cold and du of any warran
Thaddeus is currently staying at his cousins place near Capital Elementary School Durian had tim
removed hom school. There’s no suspicious activity around the cousin’s place, but Matthew hesitated
unsure if he should continue
“Go on Vivienne commanded him to continue Her face however retained expressions
“Thaddeus isn’t doing well His cousin feeds him only one meal a day it’s just sume green and bread.
The two kids there bully him constantly. When we arrived Thaddeus was all bruised and noticeably
thinner To avoid detection, i secretly treated his injunea and gave him some food”
