Chapter 274

The room was buzzing with conversation. The scales were tipping dramatically against Vivienne

The people at this banquet were influential figures in Riverwood. They wem unaccustomed to such

humiliation

Percival surveyed the room as a storm brewed in the depths of his eyes

Just as he was about to make a scena a calm voice achoad from, the staircase What evartly did | ) to

deserve this dumped?

All eyes were drawn to Vivienne. She was chili in her camuni attire med migs, strolling nonchalantly

into the spotlight

She glanced around the room. “Did I miss some sort of spectacle?

Her appearance was like a thunderbolt. The crowd was lah etunnad

She was cleark in the live video earlier yet hare she was acting as if nothing was amies, leaving

everyone in a daze

Before anyone could voice their confusion, the video feed shifted again

The camera swung to the lounge when Eddy was dressed in a designer dress. He was flushed and

nocherent white rested in a chair

Sudden someone hurst into the mom and grabbed Eddy leading him away

The crowd was utterly baffled

What was happening”

Was that s kidnapping”

Why would anyone kidnap Eddy?

He was a spoiled nich kit with no money and he certainly wasn’t his father. Mark’s favorite

Even if they wanted to ransom him to Mark, he probably wouldn’t pay

“War teen Eddy weaning Ms. Vivienne’s dressTM

Finally someone realized the anomaly and shouted it out

Only then did everyone recall that when Eddy was taken away he was wearing a dress

That dress had been showcased on the social media of the designer that the Brooks family had hired

for this special occasion,

So, everyone immediately recognized that Eddy was wearing the same dress from the designer’s post

Everybody was dumbfounded and then someone finally shouted. “So the kidnappers were actually

after Ms. Vivienne? Eddy

“is Vivienne cursed or something? How could Eddy come to a party and end up getting kidnapped?”

The Brooks family looked on as the faces tumed ashen as the murmuri continued

Suddenly a disgruntled varor broke through the noise

“What the hali dom Eddy getting kidnapped have to do with Vivienne? Are you people just bored

Impar speaking

Although the Churchill family wasn’t one of the four major families, they held significant influence in

Rivenwood

Therefore, they had been invited to Vivienne’s banquet.

However, since their daughter, Faye, had also received an invitation from Vivienne and wanted to

attend, they had to pick her up first. They ran into traffic on their way, which made them late.

“Thank you.” Vivienne replied with a polite smile.

Her smile was like a mynad of blossoms bursting into full bloom, stunning everyone present

Who was it that said Ms Vivienne was a country bumpkin? Did she look uncouth and clueless about

etiquette?

Just from her casual conversation with Egbert and Doreen, one could see she was anything but

“Ms Vivienne cured my daughter Egbert adjusted his glasses as a smile played on his lips Tve been

wanting to thank her in person but never found the right moment Maybe we could grab a burger

sometime when you’re free?”

“Sure.”

After some light chit–chat. Vivienne excused herself to attend to some matters, telling them to make

themselves at home.

Suddenly, Charlotte, her face turning icy, broke the friendly atmosphere. Who was it that said Eddy’s

kidnapping had to do with Ms Vivienne? Stand if you have maggots or crap for brains”

Charlotte had been a troublemaker for years. Her sharp tongue was always ready to cut at someone’s

dignity.

Faces around the room instantly darkened

Unfazed by the crowd’s reaction, Charlotte continued coldly, That dressing room is Ms. Vivienne’s.

Eddy, her cousin, not only intruded but also tried on her gown is he some sort of pervert who gets off by

wearing women’s clothes? How did he even squeeze into it without ripping it?”

If he hadn’t intruded into Ms Vivienne’s room, would he have been kidnapped? Can’t you people even

think straight?”

“Earlier, Ms Vivienne was falsely accused of misconduct on the live stream, and then Eddy showed up.

Which of you half–wits came up with the idea that Ms. Vivienne kidnapped him? And what’s with calling

her ‘cursed? The only ones cursed here are you lot! Can’t you tell right from wrong?”

Charlotte’s tirade stung, leaving many in the room visibly uncomfortable

Paul, standing at the back, bore the brunt of it. He was one of those with ill intentions. He was planning

to kidnap Vivienne amid the chaos, only for Eddy to make a complete fool of himself

Worse still, his men had mistakenly kidnapped Eddy instead

The nerve of that guy!
