Chapter 315
Dorian agreed without hesitation. He thumped his chest and declared, “Absolutely! I’ve quit my job and
made a resolution! Besides, Vivienne, you’re also in Riverwood.”
Dorian flashed a charmingly ingratiating smile. “With your help, our perfume company is bound to
establish a foothold in Riverwood!”
Vivienne responded coolly, without directly addressing him
She could afford to give him anything, whether it was money or the perfume formula
But that didn’t mean this Dorian here could handle it
After dinner, Vivienne took Thaddeus to the quest room, while Donan and Cordelia retreated to their
own quarters.
The guest room was filled with children’s toys and picture books, and the bedding was freshly changed.
Vivienne led him to the desk and patted his head gently “You’ll stay here for now Don’t worry about
anything else, okay?
Thaddeus, his eyes still red from crying bit his lip and nervously asked from the chair, Sis, will I go back
to my aunt and cousins?
His cautious demeanor broke Vivienne’s heart
“No” Vivienne hugged him closer and murmured soothingly into his ear. “I won’t let you go back.”
Thaddeus finally relaxed.
He clung to Vivienne and, with his childish and soft voice, asked, ‘Sis, can I stay with you from now on?
“Yes” Vivienne responded as gently as she could
“You’re so nice, sis. Thaddeus finally managed a smile. But it quickly faded as his little face scrunched
up: “Only you haven’t changed everyone else has. Dad and Mom
don’t love me anymore “
Vivienne’s hand froze on his head and a flicker of darkness passed through her eyes. Then, she smiled
and reassured him. “Don’t be afraid. Your parents haven’t changed. They still love you. They’re just
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsick, and their temperaments have become different. I’ll cure them.”
Thaddeus asked, not fully understanding what she meant “Can you really cure them, sis?”
Vivienne nodded i can Have you forgotten that I’m a doctor?”
“No, I remember that you’re a great doctor Thaddeus looked at her in awe.
“So trust me when I say I’ll cure your parents, okay?”
“Okay”
After settling Thaddeus. Vivienne received a phone call from the research institute
Vivienne, theres some matter that requires your attention When can you come over?”
Vivienne established this institute. They specialized in the research of antidotes for potions.
Although the staff was small in number, each one was an elite scientist with a reputation that was
highly respected in the industry
Vivienne glanced at the time and quickly replied. “I’ll be right there”
She hung up and humedly left, taking a cab straight to the institute
Half an hour later she arrived at the institute. The researchers handed her the newly developed
antidote. “Vivienne, this is the new antidote. Please take a look.
Vivienne put on some stenle clothes, took the antidote into the lab, and began to test it herself.
She skillfully used the tools and chemicals on the table to neutralize the antidote.
When the drugs interacted, they turned a mysterious, deep purple,
The potency was still not enough
Vivienne furrowed her brows, removed her safety goggles and exited the lab
“Vivienne, how is it? The head of the institute quickly greeted her and anxiously asked for some
feedback.
“The potency is far from my standards Vivienne handed him the report she had just written as she
looked around at the ongoing experiments in the institute. 1 gave you the cobra grass, so no matter
what, you need to develop the antidote I want
“Yes We’ll adjust the formula again The scientist responded respectfully. “It might take some time,
though. We hope you can provide us with some
No one could deny Viviennes capability. Even the littlest advice from her could lead to great progress in
the experiments.
However, Vivienne couldn’t possibly oversee everything herself so she delegated some research tasks
to them
Tl give you another report Vivienne nodded. ‘Adjust everything according to my reference data and
finish as soon as possible.”
After giving out a few more instructions, she left the institute
At this moment, Calista, who was just leaving another institute, saw her and froze
Vivienne?
Why was she here?
All the institutes around here were top–notch organizations that researched medicines. Lach one was a
titan in the industry.
Their achievements left the entire medical community in awe so why was Vivienna beza?
Calista stared at the institute Vivienne had just left the pretended to casually walk up to her
Vivienne turned around and saw Calista Her expression noticeably turned cold
I called out, “Vivienne?
Calista felt a bit awkward when Vivienne didn’t respond. But in order to find out what she wanted to
know, the managed to squeeze out a polite smsie. 78’s such a coincidence to run into you here What
brings you to this place?
Does it concern you? Vivienne asked.
Calista was taken aback. She struggled to maintain her smile as she continued probing for answers.
‘Are you meeting a friend hearty?”
Chapter 315
Vivienne glanced at her while standing at the entrance of the institute as she looked off into the
distance “Can’t you understand human language?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Vivienne Calistas smile twisted, and her nails dug into her palms Tve been very respectful towards
you, yet you keep giving me the cold shoulder! Have I offended you in some way? Even if we have
some kind of grudge, at least show some basic decency”
“Decency. Are you worthy of it? Vivienne crossed her arms and spoke in an icy tone Ms Pendleton,
maybe you should go home and discuss decency with your mother You seem to have forgotten how to
act like a noble lady”
“Your
Calista pointed at her angrily She was ready to burst into a tirade
However a black sedan pulled up in front of them at that moment
The car window rolled down to reveal Percival comfortably seated inside
“Mr Ellington Calista was taken aback, and she momentarily restrained her fury
“Vivienne
Percival barely glanced at Calista He instead stepped out of the vehicle to open the passenger door for
Vivienne. “Kept you waiting, didn’t
He had scheduled this pick–up at this exact time and was punctual to the minute, not wasting a single
second
Calista humedly approached him, trying to strike up a conversation with him. Mr. Ellington! About the
research project, I have something to discuss with you!”
She was convinced that Percival was deeply invested in this research and decided to use it as her
bargaining chip.
“Talk to the person in charge”
However Percival didn’t so much as spare her a glance. His attention was solely on Vivienne, as if he
were physically unable to divert it elsewhere. I’m busy at the
moment
With that, he shut the door for Vivienne and climbed back into the driver’s seat.
Before Calista could utter another word, he drove off with Vivienne
Calista gritted her teeth in frustration as she watched them recede into the distance.
Why? Why did all the good things belong to Vivienne?
Where did she fall short compared to Vivienne, and why couldn’t Percival pay her more attention?!
