Chapter 302
Carl had already been whisked away by the ambulance. He should be nearing the hospital by now.
Percival’s gaze finally landed on Kala, but it only lingered momentarily before shifting back to Vivienne
as his eyes showed a hint of concem.
“I’m Kala. Vivienne’s cousin Kala quickly introduced herself. She was surprised when she noticed that
Percival’s attention was hardly on her
I mean, she was an Oscar winning actress. Weren’t most men supposed to be head over heels for her?
But Percival seemed indifferent
Interesting!
“It’s getting late Percival’s voice softened when he addressed Vivienne Vivienne, let me take you home.
Vivienne didn’t refuse. On the contrary, it was Leopold who began grumbling and complaining
“Typical As soon as he sees Vivienne, he forgets about everyone else”
But he didn’t have the guts to complain too loudly, fearing that Percival would ditch him like last time
and trick him into eating a bunch of garlic again.
Soon, they arrived at the Brooks Mansion
Percival dropped them off at the front door and left.
Kala watched his retreating figure, then turned to Vivienne as her curiosity piqued to max levels.
“Vivienne, is your engagement to Percival of the Ellington family just a
marriage allianc
Everyone knew that the alliance between the Ellington and Brooks families was a powerful combination
for mutual benefit.
But having witnessed their interaction, she felt there was more to their relationship than just a mere
business arrangement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEspecially since Percival’s and Vivienne’s engagement was arranged before Vivienne disappeared.
Their relationship seemed different from the rumors.
“Hmm” Vivienne raised an eyebrow at Kala
“He seems quite fond of you, and you don’t seem to resist his affection Kala’s blunt assessment made
Vivienne’s eyes flicker slightly.
But she quickly regained her composure, and her usual calm demeanor resurfaced That’s just your
impression
Her engagement to Percival was arranged by their elders. From the start, she never considered that
their relationship would continue or that they would actually marry.
As their interactions increased her attitude towards Percival changed. But she was still uncertain about
their future together
As of now, her main focus was investigating her mother’s death. She didn’t have the time or energy for
anything else, let alone considering their relationship once everything
was settled
“My impression” Kala looked at her, feeling puzzled
Vienne’s eyet narrowed slightly and a hint of curiosity appeared in her gaze “You seem quite interested
in Mr. Ellington and me”
Realizing the probing look in Viviennes eyes, Kala quickly explained herself ‘No, you misunderstood I’m
just curious because there are some unpleasant rumors about Mr Ellington
“On” Wienne studied her for a moment longer before turning to enter the house
Meanwhile after receiving treatment at the hospital, Carl quickly returned to the Brooks Mansion
His sneaky trip to the race and the resulting injuries were impossible to hide from his mother, Cheryl
The entire family knew about it.
Although Cheryl didn’t destroy his beloved cat she was furious She grounded him and locked up his car
forbidding him from racing again.
arl resented the idea of not being able to race, but he hadn’t forgotten one thing
If it werent for Viviennes help in the North Peak race he didn’t know what would have happened
After watching half of the race and hearing about Vivienne’s impressive performance from Kala, his
attitude toward her shifted dramatically
As such as he returned from the hospital be hobbled over with his crutches to knock on Vivienne’s door
your autograph? Carl asked his eyes shining with excitement.
Vivienne unly raised an eyebrow in response
“Did you fat prout head too? Wienne crossed her arms and spoke with a hint of amusement in her
voice.
Can towever didn’t seem offended
Even though Wonenne was younger than him, her racing skidis far surpassed his.

Chapter 302
Despite not getting a definite yes, Carl was still overjoyed
Just imagining that scenario made him wish he could immediately remove his cast and jump in a car to
the racecourse
“By the way, Vivienne Carl suddenly seemed to recall something and hesitated before he spoke. “I
noticed you passing by the cat shelter today. You wouldn’t happen to be the one who left the cat food
and treats, would you?
He had his suspicions, but at the time, he couldn’t quite believe that Vivienne could be so kind hearted
Now, having witnessed Vivienne’s skill in a NASCAR race and becoming het fervent fan, he found
every action of hers reasonable and justified
“You’re overthinking it Vienne interrupted him nonchalantly, adding, “It wasn’t for you I just felt sorry for
the cat”
Carl was taken aback. Her response seemed icy cold, but somewhere within them was warmth
He was used to thinking of Vivienne as someone cold and calculating, but after spending time with her,
he realized that beneath her indifferent exterior lay a tender and
warm side
Even though Vivienne wouldn’t admit it, he chose to believe what he saw
“Regardless, thank you Carl muttered, looking down shyly I don’t know what i would’ve done without
those cat supplies you left”
After a moment of thought he sincerely apologized Tm sorry for my previous behavior. I hope you won’t
hold it against me. If you ever need help with anything, please feel free to ask. I’ll do my best to support
you”
“Enough chatter” With an expressionless face, Vivienne shut the door, clearly uninterested in his
rambling
