“No way! Absolutely not!”

Paula was adamant about refusing to accept the current turn of events. “This is a big deal. Mom! It’s

not right for you to make all the decisions on your own! We’re part of the Brooks family too! We have a

right to voice our opinions!

The thought of Vivienne bringing Dorian’s family into the Brooks Mansion was unbearable the would

rather be killed than have to endure such humiliation

Baron had forbidden her from returning home, and each visit was a tightrope walk of fear and caution.

Now, she always had to avoid her father

Why should outsiders be allowed to waltz night through the doors of the Brooks Mansion?

Judith gave her a stern look, and there was a hint of authority in her voice “This house isn’t yours to

rule I’m old, but I can still make decisions on trivial matters

Paula was livid She almost collapsed onto the couch Mom! Have you lost your mind?! You’re actually

siding with strangers! Do you want to watch as the stolen from us? is that what will satisfy you?!”

Shevelled hysterically, but no one took her seriously

Timothy was a weak willed man who always followed the orders of his parents. He didn’t dare to speak

up now

His wife Cheryl wisely said, “Let’s listen to Mom Dad’s health isn’t good. We need her to take care of

things

Kala and Carl agreed wholeheartedly. They basically raised both hands and feet in support

“Very well” Judith nodded in approval while patting Vivienne, who was sitting next to her. ‘It seems we

all agree. Not just about this, but for the future as well. Vivienne is now family Anyone who dares to

harm Vivienne will be harming me I don’t want to hear any complaints! Her gaze swept across the com.

It was quite sharp and intimidating for an old woman

Timothy quickly nodded in agreement “We’ll listen to Mom Of course, we have no other ideas We’re

glad that Vivienne is back, we wouldn’t dare harm her

Judith’s strong presence kept the situation under control. Then this weekend, let’s have Vivienne’s

parents move in We’ll have a proper meal together as a family, as a way to welcome them.”

Despite Paula’s strong opposition. Dorian and his wife, Cordelia, smoothly moved into the Brooke

Mansion

That evening Judith personally ordered the staff to prepare a lavish dinner She invited all the members

of the Brooks family to attend

Aside from Baron, who was not feeling well, and Scott and Ronald, who were busy with work, everyone

else was present

It was clear that Judith attached great importance to this gathering

Ashley couldn’t help but laugh as she looked at the grand arrangement ‘Grandma really values our

cousin. Who else has received such special treatment? Even her parents are allowed to stay at the

Brooks Mansion Who wouldn’t be envious?

Paula had been looking for someone to vent her frustration to She had begged for half the day to

attend this dinner, and naturally, she wasn’t pleased

Why should she have to tread carefully around her own family while Vivienne and her parents could

stride confidently into the Brooks Mansion?

“Anyone would think that the Brooks family had fallen on hard times. Why were they letting any Tom,

Dick, or Harry in

Paula‘ Judith’s stem ga silenced her instantly

Melissa, too hurriedly hushed her outspoken daughter.

As long as Baron and Judith were still around, they were the ones who called the shots. Anyone else

had to know their limits, even if they were unhappy about it.

Donan and Cordelia sitting in the middle, were clearly uncomfortable

“We didn’t mean to intrude. We just wanted to see Vivienne and clear up any misunderstandings We

didn’t expect to cause such a commotion.

Donan glanced at the silent Vivienne, then said, “As long as Vivienne is doing well, it doesn’t matter if

we’re here or not. After all, she is a Brooks. Seeing her return to her roots makes us happy”

“Of course you’re happy Paula was outraged “Vivienne has returned to the Brooks family and assumed

the role of the heiress. Now you can enjoy the benefits by clinging to her Today you move into the

Brooks Mansion What’s to keep you from claiming it as your own tomorrow?

Paula was being very harsh, but Vivienne seemed unfazed it was as if she were watching an

entertaining show.

Paula, Vivienne is part of the Brooks family Her adoptive parents have done a great deal for her, and

she wants to repay their kindness, is there something tha Kala unsympathetic to Paulas attitude asked

pointedly

Pauta glared at her then stood up abruptly if she wants to repay them, fine! But why use the Brooks

family as a way to do it? Haverit, we given her enough albas even brought strangers into our home!

Her reach is becoming far too long

“Enough Judith, who had been listening quietly could no longer stand it. She slammed the table

forcefully as she yelled at her good for nothing daughter. “Do not here? Your gossip has reached my

eats!

inviting Viviennes parents to stay here was my decision No one is allowed to object if not for their care

and attention, wo the Brooks family?

She turned her gaze towards Dorian and Cordelia who were sitting next to her Her tone changed it was

This 300 thousand may but seem like much, but it accept it

The maid brought forward a check and placed it on the table

Donan and Cordelia looked taken aback and refused the money with

We just enjoyed having her around We cant possibly accept thus money

300 thousand was no petty cash for them Dorian was a regular salary worker, and this amound was a

fortune to herm.

Vivienne lifted her gaze and let it slide over the couple before resetting on

No need for modesty

aged them to accept it

Since her grandmother was trying to give Donan and Cordelia mone nerew shamelessly

ooka fartuly has treated them with nothing but kindrets. They

Paula was furing She was ready to explode. “Why on earth should they get the money grateful already!

What do they think they are? How could they accept money from the Brocka fataly?

For the rest of the Brooks family, 300 thousand was trivial

1/2

They could spend millions on a whim without batting an eyelid. They wouldn’t even spare a thought for

a mere 300 thousand

This 300 thousand was a gesture from the family matriarch, and no one would be foolish enough to

challenge her decision

“Sister, if this is what Mom wants, let’s just go along with it‘ Melissa chimed in while glancing at the old

lady’s expression.

Paula’s face turned beet red it was as if she wanted to overturn the entire table of food

Dorian and Cordelia exchanged a look and then spoke up. “Well, if Judith insists, we won’t turn down

her goodwill !

How shameless!

Paula huffed and plopped down onto her seat. She didn’t even bother to give them another glance

Everyone had their own thoughts during dinner, only Vivienne teemed unperturbed the was seemingly

indifferent to Paula’s furious glares.
