After Divorce: Remarried to a Tycoon with Twin Babies-Chapter 142: Vivian Reveals the Child Is Not of the Grant Family Bloodline!
Vivian Sinclair gave a light cough, the blush on her face spreading awkwardly: "This matter... is a long story."
"In short, Austin Grant and I have actually never consummated our marriage."
Moreover, back when things weren’t so tense, when Austin Grant and I went back to stay in the main bedroom on the second floor of the old house, Austin Grant slept on the floor to stay chaste for Zoe Monroe.
So even though Austin Grant and I shared a room, we really never slept together.
Catherine Sinclair felt like her brain had stalled.
"Never consummated... pregnant?"
"Wait, let me get this straight."
"Is this how you rich people live, in these Platonic marriages?"
Vivian Sinclair flicked her forehead lightly: "What are you thinking?"
"He was just staying pure for his true love."
"And I was fooled by a meddled-with health report into thinking I was infertile."
"So not long after the real and fake daughter situation erupted, I started preparing for pregnancy, planning to just go ahead with IVF to get the baby business out of the way."
"I thought he wanted to slowly build feelings with me, so I never really delved into the matter of consummation."
"Now, I’m quite grateful that he spared me."
It took Catherine Sinclair a moment to fully digest this information.
She lay on the bed mumbling: "You’ve had it hard too..."
"Being married to such a scumbag."
"You’re really worse off than I am."
Vivian Sinclair just smiled recalling these things: "It’s all in the past now."
"By the way, how’s your marriage alliance situation going?"
Catherine Sinclair got angry at the mention: "What else? It’s stuck!"
"Dad is determined to have me marry into The Holloway Family."
"You know what kind of person Mom is, completely useless for the children."
"They’re all saying The Holloway Family has only one son, Harvey Holloway, and that the family business will be his in the future."
"But they don’t care at all that Harvey Holloway is just an idiot!"
"Even if he inherits the family business, will he be able to keep it?"
"And why should my marriage be controlled by them? Why am I just a tool for their business politics?"
"After seeing your marriage result, they still want to push me into the fire pit."
"I’ve only enjoyed two years of peace at home, and now I’m supposed to pay for it with a lifetime. How thoroughly they calculate and exploit us two daughters equally."
Saying this, Catherine Sinclair let out a series of cold laughs.
With things like this, don’t expect her to care about this already flimsy familial bond anymore!
Vivian Sinclair thought of Harvey Holloway, a somewhat frivolous and indeed reckless person.
Most importantly, he was buddies with Austin Grant.
What good could come from someone hanging out with Austin Grant?
Luckily, Catherine Sinclair is even more clear-headed than I was back then.
"So, what are you planning to do?"
Catherine Sinclair rolled her eyes: "Leave when the time comes."
"For now, I’ll just wait and see."
The two shared their thoughts, and both felt a bit heavy-hearted.
Vivian Sinclair: "Do you think The Sinclair Family has you learning business to prepare for you marrying into The Holloway Family?"
Catherine Sinclair: "It doesn’t matter what the reason is, I won’t follow the path they’ve laid out."
"At worst, I’ll go back to being the lone wolf Catherine Sinclair without family ties."
"In today’s society, can they really force me to marry?"
Vivian Sinclair gently held Catherine Sinclair’s hand: "Don’t underestimate the darkness of human nature. And don’t underestimate their methods."
"Catherine, from now on, I’m your sister."
"Remember, under any circumstances, you can always come to me. I’ll reach out to you no matter what."
Vivian Sinclair’s words were genuine.
Catherine Sinclair was so moved she dove into her embrace.
"Do you think you might be the greatest gain from me finding my family?"
"It’s a pity, if only you were a man."
"Or if I were a boy, maybe we could have developed a forbidden romance."
"Pfft——"
Thinking that, Catherine Sinclair genuinely laughed out loud.
But in Vivian Sinclair’s mind, Julian Thorne’s face flashed inexplicably.
He probably wouldn’t approve.
Wait, he’s just in this to help raise a child together, it’s not like he has a say in my future. Why did I suddenly think of him?
Catherine Sinclair: "Vivian, why did your heart suddenly start racing?"
"Don’t tell me you really like me?"
Vivian Sinclair: ...
The next day, at dawn, it was already bustling outside The Sinclair Family home.
Vivian and Catherine both woke up at the first light of day.
They quickly got up, went to the window, and opened the curtains. It was still dark outside, but The Sinclair Family home was brightly lit.
Apparently, everyone had been awakened by the commotion.
Footsteps echoed in the hallway outside.
"What’s happening?"
Catherine Sinclair: "They’re not trying to drag you off to the hospital this early, are they?"
Vivian Sinclair: "No, probably not."
"Let’s go and see."
Vivian Sinclair was not restricted from leaving the room.
So she easily followed Catherine downstairs to the living room.
Simon Sinclair and Wendy Warren were anxiously sitting on the sofa. Seeing Vivian and Catherine coming down together, their expressions changed simultaneously.
Before they could say anything, Elias came in from outside.
Seeing Vivian appear, his face turned cold, "Who allowed you to come down?"
"Go upstairs!"
"Without my permission, don’t take a step out of the room!"
Elias’s reprimand not only made Wendy a bit flustered, but even Catherine noticed something unusual.
What could possibly make Elias, who clearly cared about Vivian, so angry so early in the morning?
Wendy stepped forward to stop the furious Elias, "Elias, what’s going on?"
"What’s worth arguing about so early in the morning?"
"Vivian finally came back home, didn’t we agree to get along as a family?"
Elias: "Mom, do you know which family the people outside are from?"
Seeing her son’s extremely unpleasant expression, Wendy sensed something was wrong, "Wh-which family?"
Simon remained indifferent, "Elias, regardless of which family, do you think we, The Sinclair Family, are afraid of them?"
"Remember, our family is not the top aristocracy in Ardis, but we’re not ones to be bullied!"
He looked at Vivian, "Troublemaking daughter!"
"Look at the mess you’ve caused!"
"The Sinclairs surrounded so early in the morning."
"Do you know these people are here because of you!?"
"Coming back for a day and causing unrest!"
If it were the old Vivian, she might have already teared up and turned around to go upstairs.
But the present Vivian was no longer the little girl who cared about people’s opinions.
"Did I ask you to bring me back?"
"These troubles are entirely of your own making!"
Vivian spoke calmly, moving towards the sofa and sitting down.
"If I’m not mistaken, the people here for me are here to take me away."
"Why are you, brother, so agitated unless you have no solution against them?"
Vivian poured herself a cup of hot tea to soothe her throat.
Only then did she look up, calmly meeting Elias’s gaze, "Do you think this way you can control my movements and decisions?"
"Brother, I haven’t belonged to The Sinclair Family for a long time now."
"You can’t stop me."
Elias’s expression grew increasingly distorted and wrecked.
He clenched his fist and dragged Vivian by the arm, "Let’s go!"
"I’ll take you abroad right now!"
After saying that, Elias attempted to pull Vivian towards the back door’s hidden passage.
Vivian struggled, but her strength was too weak to be effective.
Catherine, seeing the situation, rushed forward, grabbing Elias’s arm, "Are you insane?"
"Brother, let go!"
"Vivian is pregnant!"
Elias, however, ignored this, violently shoving Catherine aside.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing things getting out of control, Wendy hurried forward to stop Elias, "Elias, can’t we talk it out?"
"Don’t scare Vivian more!"
Elias roared, completely losing control: "Scare her? You should ask her what mischief she has done first!"
"The child in her womb is not from The Grant Family!"
With these words, the room fell silent.
Even the servants quickly retreated.
Everyone was left stunned. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Wendy looked at her obedient daughter in disbelief.
Catherine swallowed hard, surprised by such a shocking revelation.
Indeed, her sister Vivian is remarkable...
Simon felt as if his vision darkened.
Only Vivian managed to pry Elias’s fingers off and freed her wrist.
She looked up at Elias and revealed the truth word by word, "Yes."
"The child in my womb is indeed not Austin Grant’s."
"So now, do you still want to claim it’s for my own good to avoid the Grant Family’s entanglements and attempt to forcefully remove my baby?"
As the father, Simon was already in a furious rage.
"Abort the child!"
"Go to the hospital immediately!"
"The bastards in her womb must be aborted!"
"How could someone from The Sinclair Family behave in such a disgraceful, shameful, and indecent manner?"
"If these bastards aren’t aborted, I’ll strangle you with my own hands first!"
Simon’s anger, Wendy’s panic, Elias’s loss of control.
However, it only made Vivian chuckle lightly.
She didn’t tremble in fright from Simon’s words.
Instead, she fixed her gaze on Elias and asked, "Brother, do you dare?"
"You know whose child I’m carrying, do you still dare?"
