After Divorce: Remarried to a Tycoon with Twin Babies-Chapter 11: Grandma Scolds the First Love!

Julian Thorne shut the window expressionlessly, blocking out the lively noise from The Grant Family’s side.

Special Assistant Linden: "Your sperm was mistakenly taken by a nurse at the hospital and has successfully been cultivated into a live embryo."

"If nothing unexpected happened, it should have already been implanted into the womb of some surrogate mother..."

"In a few months, perhaps... there’ll be a bloodline of yours coming into this world..."

Special Assistant Linden dared not continue speaking.

This absurd drama is something even novels don’t dare to write about!

Who would have thought it would happen to their Mr. Thorne?

And suddenly having an additional child, who can accept this happening to them?

Julian Thorne’s handsome face was already covered in frost, his eyes cold and stern like ice, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Keep investigating!"

"Get to the bottom of it, find everything out!"

"Who made the mistake, who is the surrogate mother, give me answers by this time tomorrow night."

Special Assistant Linden: "Yes."

Fortunately, as long as the child isn’t far along, everything should still be reversible.

After all, The Thorne Family could never have a child of unknown origins.

Nor could they let the future heir have such a controversial birth.

But the hospital and the doctors in charge of this matter are going to be unlucky!

Special Assistant Linden turned to leave, his face already wearing a cold expression...

No matter who it is, daring to offend Master Julian, someone must pay for it!

Vivian Sinclair sneezed. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Austin Grant looked down and asked her gently, "What’s wrong?"

"Are you feeling cold?"

He took off his coat and draped it over Vivian Sinclair’s shoulders, and not far away, Old Madam Grant nodded in satisfaction at the scene.

"Mrs. Archer, look, without that vixen, Austin and her are so good together."

Mrs. Archer said nothing.

She saw that Young Madam’s face was about to lose her patience with disgust and resistance.

Better not throw up all over the young master later...

Vivian Sinclair indeed had to endure to keep from throwing off the coat on her.

Now, as soon as she smelled that familiar scent on Austin Grant, her stomach started churning.

She hadn’t reacted until now purely because she didn’t want to affect Old Madam Grant’s mood tonight.

At this moment, the final guest finally arrived belatedly.

Seeing the newcomer, Vivian Sinclair noticeably felt the person next to her stiffen slightly.

Even she was a little surprised.

Grandmother actually invited Zoe Monroe?

Zoe Monroe carried an elegantly packaged gift box, deliberately not glancing at Austin Grant as she passed, heading straight to Old Madam Grant.

"Old Madam, thank you for your invitation."

"This is a small token from Zoe, I hope you like it."

Zoe Monroe’s arrival caused quite a stir.

Although the rest of The Grant Family didn’t know that Zoe Monroe was Austin Grant’s first love from his youth, everyone recognized her as the female secretary Austin Grant brought to The Grant Family’s night banquet last time.

Their ambiguous interaction that night did not go unnoticed by many.

For a moment, most people’s attention shifted back and forth between Vivian Sinclair and Zoe Monroe.

Zoe Monroe wore a figure-hugging light purple gown, accentuating her already tall and slender figure into a more graceful silhouette.

With her elegant face and exquisite makeup, one couldn’t deny she was quite striking.

While Vivian Sinclair, although possessing an exceptionally beautiful face, wore minimal makeup.

However, with a similarly tall and well-proportioned figure, she donned a moon-white cheongsam tonight, adding an extra touch of elegance to her demeanor.

The two women’s different styles of beauty had everyone making comparisons in their minds.

Ultimately, Vivian Sinclair’s grace and poise won out.

Though most men, after all, have always adored the kind of enchantress that can captivate hearts.

Vivian Sinclair pretended not to notice everyone’s gaze, taking the opportunity to gently remove Austin Grant’s arm around her while thoughtfully asking, "Austin, aren’t you going over to say hello?"

Austin Grant suddenly looked down, giving Vivian Sinclair a look that suggested she was out of her mind.

"Vivian, are you truly indifferent, or are you putting on a show for me?"

In Austin Grant’s bedroom, there was a photo of Zoe Monroe.

Before finding Zoe Monroe again, Austin Grant used to console his longing for her with that photo.

Therefore, having occasionally been to Austin Grant’s room to retrieve or place things, Vivian Sinclair had long seen Zoe Monroe’s photo.

She knew Zoe Monroe was the one Austin Grant held dear to his heart.

But from that banquet night until today, Vivian Sinclair remained so calm upon seeing Zoe Monroe, which made Austin Grant’s previously settled heart surge with a feeling of frustration.

Vivian Sinclair sighed with feigned helplessness, "In public, do you expect me to have some other reaction?"

Austin Grant stared at her, and only when he seemed sure she wasn’t lying did he flicker his gaze, "Don’t overthink it."

"Regarding Zoe’s matter, I’ll explain to you later."

Vivian Sinclair would never overthink it.

Because she had long seen through the entire situation.

However, her not overthinking didn’t mean that The Grant Family’s friends and relatives wouldn’t tonight.

"Why did she come?"

"What does this mean from the Old Madam?"

"Austin’s wife is really pitiful, isn’t this embarrassing her in front of everyone? I heard the Old Madam favored her the most, but it doesn’t seem that way now."

"But isn’t today a family gathering? How could they invite an outsider?"

"Who can say if they’re an outsider? Maybe they’ll become one of us one day. Just wait and see! Vivian won’t have many good days left."

Everyone whispered among themselves.

Vivian listened to these words but merely lowered her head slightly, her expression numb, as if she didn’t care.

Austin barely held back from scolding these people to be quiet and kept a watchful eye on the suddenly appearing Zoe, worried she might be wronged.

Old Madam Grant looked at the large gift box brought by Zoe and replied politely, "It’s enough that Miss Monroe came, you didn’t have to bring a gift."

"I wouldn’t look at anything ordinary either."

Zoe’s smile froze awkwardly in the congealed air.

Someone snickered, and it was Gia Grant.

Lillian Rivers glared at her foolish daughter and stepped forward to have Zoe’s gift taken away.

When it was opened, it turned out to be a valuable and collectible tea set!

Lillian Rivers was quite surprised.

This Zoe Monroe really went all out to win the old lady’s favor.

But could it be that she used her son’s money?

Zoe walked over, holding the tea set herself, and said, "Old Madam, how could the younger generation dare to bring just anything for your birthday?"

"I heard you enjoy drinking tea, so I specifically found a tea set worthy of you."

"It’s just a small token of the younger generation’s regard, and I hope you like it."

Everyone immediately crowded around.

"This is a nice piece."

"Yeah, it looks like Teacher Tris’s work. This set must be worth at least a hundred thousand."

"How can a mere secretary give such a generous gift?"

It’s not about being generous.

This very set was once Vivian’s collection at home.

Two months ago, it suddenly disappeared.

When Vivian asked about it, Austin said he had given it to someone important who loved Teacher Tris.

Austin only knew it was something precious to Vivian.

But he didn’t know it was part of Vivian’s dowry.

Nor did he know that Tris was Vivian’s teacher.

Moreover, that tea set was custom-made by Teacher Tris for Vivian, not only unique in the world with value beyond tens of thousands but also imbued with the teacher’s affection for the student.

Vivian treasured it so much she couldn’t bear to use it and kept it in storage.

Austin had taken it without a word, and though Vivian was angry, she didn’t hold it against him.

She thought Austin was facing some difficulty in social dealings.

She just felt sorry for her teacher.

Now she realized that Austin had actually used his wife’s belongings to appease his first love!

Vivian squinted at the suddenly recovered item before her, then turned her cold, questioning gaze heavily onto Austin: "Austin, don’t you have anything to explain to me?"

Austin dared not meet Vivian’s eyes.

He looked over at Zoe with both a headache and helplessness, merely replying, "I’ll give you an answer."

Then he walked toward Zoe.

"Grandma, you invited my secretary, how could you keep it from me?"

"I didn’t even know you liked Miss Monroe, Grandma."

Austin glanced at Zoe: "Why didn’t you tell me anything?"

He wasn’t just questioning Zoe about her unexpected visit, but also how she happened to bring that tea set; wasn’t it intentional? Austin could see through it, couldn’t he?

Being blamed, Zoe pouted slightly.

She was filled with joy, intending to surprise Austin.

Who knew he’d hold her accountable for such a trivial matter?

"President Grant, it was the Old Madam who invited me today, you can’t blame me."

Old Madam Grant was annoyed at her superficial demeanor.

Flirting and bantering in front of so many people, did she really think everyone was blind and couldn’t see the trickery between her and Austin?

Her seductive expression seemed almost glued to Austin; was she really that shameless?

Old Madam Grant had little formal education.

But she was a good judge of character.

She let out a cold chuckle.

"Yes, I just wanted to see what Austin has been busy with lately."

"He’s never home, I, who’s almost six feet under, can’t even catch a glimpse of him."

"Miss Monroe, I specifically asked you here to inquire, as his secretary, if Austin has been enchanted by some vixen lately?"

"You’re the person who sees him most every day; you should know better than any of us."

"A man should prioritize his family."

"Otherwise, no matter how successful his career, if the family breaks apart, what’s the point?"

"Miss Monroe, I heard you also come from humble beginnings."

"My family was poor too. If it weren’t for marrying my well-meaning husband from the countryside, I wouldn’t have what I have today."

"But even people from the countryside know the importance of propriety, integrity, and chastity, especially for a woman, preserving her true nature and purity is most important."

"The temptations in today’s society are plenty, but in The Grant Family, we absolutely won’t allow a despicable third party to intentionally tear apart another’s family and happiness!"

"Tell me, am I not right?"

"Go on, who exactly is the vixen that bewitched Austin?"
