Chapter 238
He walked in with his wife, Cheryl, and his eldest son, Ronald, followed by his second son, Carl. They
were surprised to see Eddy kneeling before Vivienne in the living room and a furious Paula making a
scene.
“What’s going on?”
“Brother!” Paula cried out to Timothy as if he were her only hope, accusing Vivienne of being
disrespectful. “Look at what our eldest brother has brought back. She’s being so rude, and she even hit
Eddy!”
Timothy’s brows furrowed with displeasure. Ronald tried to intervene, but Timothy had already started
scolding Vivienne “Vivienne, you’re acting out of line! Your aunt Paula may be blunt, but you can’t
disrespect your elders, let alone lay hands on your cousin
Ronald and Cheryl exchanged helpless glances.
Paula had been harboring resentment toward Scott for many years. Now that he saw Scott’s daughter,
it was inevitable that she would vent her anger at
her.
Timothy, however, was always swayed by Paula’s persuasive language out of sympathy for his beloved
sister.
Vivienne looked annoyed She was about to speak but was interrupted by Percival’s phone ringing.
He glanced at the caller ID and picked up the call “Granddad.”
All eyes were immediately on Percival. He held the phone out and put it on speaker mode, so everyone
could hear Richard’s irate voice bellowing from
the phone
“Where is my granddaughter–in–law!? You were supposed to bring Vivienne to meet me and spend
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsome time with me. Where is she? Didn’t you come back to Rivenwood with her? At least let Vivienne
come and keep me company Why did you kidnap her?”
1 didn’t kidnapher Percival replied while looking at the Brooks family with cold eyes. “Vivienne is the
daughter of the Brooks family’s head, and our car was stopped in the middle of the road by his
entourage.”
He passed the blame to Scott without hesitation. 1 accompanied Vivienne to meet her family”
“Vivienne is Scott’s child?” Richard sounded surprised, then laughed heartily. “It seems like the Brooks
family is blind. Why had they previously recognized Arabella as their own?”
The Brooks family fell silent as they began reflecting on their past mistakes.
Paula was the only one who chuckled sarcastically
“It seems like the Brooks family doesn’t welcome Vivienne. Percival sighed as his cold gaze fell on
Scott. “We hadn’t even had a chance to sit down before her aunt started ridiculing Vivienne for being
engaged to me.”
The Brooks family’s faces turned pale. They knew they were in trouble.
Richard’s enraged voice echoed from the phone. “What?! My precious granddaughter–in–law is being
bullied in Scott’s house?!
Bring Vivienne back to our house immediately! If the Brooks family can’t tolerate her, the Ellington
family has plenty of space. I’d love for Vivienne to stay
with us. I can’t believe they have the guts to bully my granddaughter–in–law! I need to go give old
Baron a piece of my mind!”
After hanging up the phone, Percival looked at Scott with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. “You heard
my granddad. If your family doesn’t welcome Vivienne, don’t force her to stay I’ll take her back with me”
The many members of the Brooks family looked uncomfortable. They didn’t expect Percival to report
this to Richard.
Timothy, guessing the gist of the situation, felt it was beneath him to apologize as the elder of the
family.
“You must be Vivienne. You’re very pretty” Cheryl stepped in to smooth things over, taking Vivienne’s
hand with a smile. “Your uncle Timothy is a bit slow. Don’t mind him”
She was practically calling Timothy stupid for being easily manipulated by Paula
Timothy opened his mouth to make his case, but Cheryl glared him down
She introduced Ronald and another young man to Vivienne “This is your cousin Ronald and your
second cousin Carl.”
“We we met in Havenwood Ronald greeted Vivienne with a friendly smile
“Hello” Vivienne responded indifferently
Carl scoffed and didnt even glance at Vivienne. He headed upstairs, declaring m tired. I’m going to rest
for a bit
His disrespectful behavior made Cheryl instantly feel awkward
“He just got back from abroad and is still adjusting to the time difference He didn’t mean to offend you”
Ronald explained apologetically to Vivienne
But Vivienne didn’t care Whether it was intentional rudeness or genuine tiredress, it had nothing to do
with her
Returning to the Brooks family was not about living peacefully with them
So she didn’t give a damn about how the Brooks family felt about her or how they perceived her
In short, they better not mess with her
If they did, it would be their own fault. And if they were at fault, they were going to receive a serious
whooping!
It had been a long time since she had had a good brawl. The last time she had a really good fight was
when she saved someone from Felix. It wasn’t enough.

Melissa thought Vivienne might be upset about Carl’s actions after seeing her be so silent. She quickly
diverted the topic by introducing Ashley “Oh, 1 forgot to introduce you. This is your cousin Ashley, my
nter. I’m your aunt”
“I also have a son who is older than
you.
but he isn’t home
You’ll
eet him later at lunch.”
“Nice to meet you.” Vivienne nodded politely
Vivienne, you and Mr. Ellington must be tired from the journey” F
is ready. Why don’t you folks freshen up and change?”
up her mother’s cue, Ashley immediately got chummy with Vivienne. “Your room
Vivienne and Percival didn’t object, and they followed Melissa and Ashley upstairs.
As soon as they left, Ronald’s cell phone rang. He glanced at the screen and grimaced at Scott and
Timothy
“It’s my grandpa”
Timothy took a deep breath, while Scott waved his hand, indicating for Ronald to answer the call.
Ronald reluctantly picked up the phone, bracing himself for Baron’s wrath,
As expected, the moment he answered the call, Baron unleashed a barrage of curses and insults. “Are
you a bunch of pigs? First, you misidentify her, and now, when you finally recognize her, you’re still
causing her trouble?
If your brains don’t work, see a doctor! Don’t be a pain in my neck all day Vivienne has been wronged
for so many years, so you better make it up to her if you dare mess around again, I won’t let you off
when I get back!”
Ronald rubbed his temples, listening without daring to interrupt.
“Give the phone to Paula Baron roared from the other end.
