Chapter 270

After she turned her around, the young man couldn’t help but break into a hearty laugh. “Dr. Pendleton,

your medical skills are impeccable. I thought Id be bedridden for at least a couple of weeks after that

beating I took. But after your treatment, I’m up and about today”

“Even with the best medical skills, your body can’t handle continuous reckless behavior Don’t be so

rash next time.” Calista wamed him casually can’t believe you meddled in Tam’s affairs. You even live

streamed it. Look at where that got you”

“But I gained a lot of popularity because of it.” The young man stuck out his tongue at Calista in a

playful manner, showing her his phone “Look, I’ve got a million followers now. That beating was worth

it”

Calista simply shook her head as the young man left, chuckling

“That guy Paula asked in surprise Isn’t he the one who live streamed Tam’s mistress scandal?”

–

“Yep Calista answered nonchalantly “He’s a popular live streamer known as Stardust He’s quite the

daredevil

“These internet celebrities would do anything for fame Last time when Tam’s fifth wife was ganged up

on by the other four for feeling left out, Stardust sneaked in and live streamed the whole thing. He got

seriously injured and was sent here”

“He’s so bold enough to live stream anything?” Paula’s eyes sparkled with intrigue.

“Yes. Anything” Calista answered. “He once told me about a celebrity who drugged her rival to create a

scandal. He was going to live stream it but got beaten to the punch

“1 see” Paula munched on an apple, not asking any further

Calista exchanged a knowing glance with Mila

Two hours later

Fiona was walking weakly in the hospital garden. The memories of being trapped for three days in the

Spring Pavilion by the woman in a golden mask were still fresh in her mind

When the resort staff found her three days later, she was severely dehydrated, starved, and had lost

control of her bodily functions. It was a complete mess. If it weren’t for her mask and her refusal to let

them take it off, she would have died of shame

It was her subordinates who finally received the message and secretly brought her to the hospital. She

could never forget their faces as they tried so hard to hide their amusement.

It was clear that the Frostfire Intelligence Agency was behind the whole ordeal. She decided she would

never cross paths with them again

At least she managed to get her hands on the boar poison.

Last time. Isolde took the hit for Percival This time, he wouldn’t be so lucky

But before that, she had to take care of one person, Vivienne

She knew that it was Vivienne who had cured Isolde of the boar poison. So Percival’s fiancée had to

go.

Suddenly, she heard two people talking from behind a holly bush.

“Is it true that the Brooks family’s newly recognized daughter could cause such a scene at her reunion

banquet?”

“Yes. She’s a country bumpkin She is very crude and has no respect for decorum

Fiona recognized the two people talking One was a young man she didn’t know, and the other was

Paula.

She listened quietly

“You don’t need to do anything” Paula told Stardust. Tll have the pinhole cameras installed. All you

need to do is live stream the footage Simple”

“Okay, sure” Stardust nodded. Although he had just been hospitalized for live streaming a scandal, he

knew they were nothing compared to the prestigious Brooks family

After hearing Paula and Stardust’s conversation, Fiona turned off her phone’s recording function and

quietly slunk away. It seemed like the Brooks family had its own problems, and Vivienne’s life wasn’t as

smooth as she thought

Two days later

Viviennes reunion banquet was held at the luxurious Yette Palace Hotel’s top–floor banquet hall in

Riverwoodi

The Brooks family took this banquet very seriously, especially after the scandal involving the fake

Arabella

The hospitality the Brooks family showed today was completely different from what they showcased at

Arabella’s munion banquet in Havithwood

At that time, the Brooks family with their high status let Arabella greet the quests alone. Hul this time it

was the cumplete opposte

Judith and Baron played host in the grand ballroom while Vivienne secluded herself in the lounge,

waiting to make her grand debut when she was formally introduced to the guests

By the time the Ellington family arved, the ballroom was bustling with guests. Richard took a glance

around the room as a least they haven’t disgraced Vivienne this time

He then turned to Percival, who was trailing behind him “Your engagement party must be grander than

this, under

“Richard have you lost your marbles? Baron retorted angrily as his mustache quivered in indignation.

Must you always com of desecrated your ancestors graves?”

afed grunt escaped (

“Steal my wife? You couldn’t even manage that when we were young, let alone now when you re

knocking on heaven’s door Even if you did try, you’d never succeed!” Richard haughtily huffed As for

desecrating my ancestors graves, try me

“Your” Baron was so choked with rage that he was rendered speechless

shire’s Vivienne?” Percival asked, ignoring the heated exchange between the two old men.

still getting ready in the lounge. Scott responded.

Til go see her then. Percival had been finding it hard to see Vivienne lately. Each time he tried to visit,

Baron would find a way to make things difficult for him.

Sure enough, just as he was about to step forward, Baron, who had been seething with fury at

Richard’s taunts, swiftly blocked his path. “It’s not right for a young man and woman to be alone

together!”
