After Divorce: Remarried to a Tycoon with Twin Babies-Chapter 36: Vivian Casually Knocks Down the First Love!
Patrick Powell: "He’s President Grant’s good brother. First, Gia pounced on Young Master Holloway; then he pushed her to another man."
"After that, Young Master Holloway disappeared."
"As for the others, especially Miss Monroe, they are all overwhelmed, so who has the leisure to care for her?"
"The one who took over Miss Grant, I found out, has the surname Spencer. He’s a notorious tough guy, violent and obsessive."
"Last night he and Gia stayed in the hotel room upstairs."
"I bribed the waiter to listen for a while, saying the noises from the room sounded rather tragic."
Spencer?
Vivian Sinclair instantly thought of a face.
She knew this person—Liam Spencer from the Spencer Family, who was notorious for being reckless.
Vivian Sinclair had never spoken to him, but he always looked at her with disdain, utterly despising her humble origins.
Unexpectedly, the two of them ended up mixed together last night.
Vivian Sinclair didn’t think she had harmed Gia.
The dress she changed out of last night still had remnants of the juice Gia sent over.
Dr. Archer later took it for analysis and told her that the juice indeed had drugs added.
It was exactly the same substance Vivian Sinclair had given Gia.
So it was Gia who harbored evil intentions first.
Dr. Archer said the drug was very potent.
If Vivian Sinclair had unknowingly consumed it, her unborn child couldn’t have been saved.
Fortunately, Vivian Sinclair had already prepared a countermeasure.
She only added the powdered drug to her cup of juice when she saw Gia approaching her.
If Gia hadn’t rushed to harm Vivian Sinclair, if it wasn’t her evil intent first, she wouldn’t have been outsmarted by Vivian Sinclair.
If the dress hadn’t tested positive for drugs last night, Vivian Sinclair would have had Patrick Powell send over the antidote.
But it’s a pity that everything was Gia’s own doing.
I’ve heard the Grant Family is recently searching for a suitable marriage alliance for Gia.
If this scandal breaks out...
Vivian Sinclair: "Leave it alone. Let her sort it out herself."
After hanging up the phone, Vivian Sinclair was sitting on the bed dazed when the nurse came in.
"Miss Sinclair, we have prepared breakfast for you. Would you like to eat now?"
Vivian Sinclair hadn’t even spoken yet, surprised at such attentive service from this private hospital.
She glanced at the missed call from ’Mom,’ then tossed the phone aside.
"Eat! Of course, I want to eat! Thank you."
Very soon, it was time for Vivian Sinclair to move out of ’intensive care’.
Vivian Sinclair groggily woke up in the hospital bed, and the first person she saw was Austin Grant, who had arrived not long ago.
"Vivian!"
Seeing Vivian Sinclair finally awake, Austin Grant rarely showed a smile.
"Honey, are you still feeling unwell anywhere?"
"Have you eaten anything?"
"Seeing you awake eases my mind."
"By the way, our child is fine, just as strong as their mom. I’m so proud of you."
Austin Grant looked gentle and caring, tucking stray hair behind Vivian Sinclair’s ear in an incredibly considerate way, as if they had returned to their past.
He was about to lower his head to kiss her forehead, but Vivian Sinclair turned slightly away, avoiding him.
She wore a cold expression, not speaking, completely different from the fragile and helpless Vivian Sinclair of last night.
Austin Grant’s hand paused in mid-air, his expression turning helpless.
This version of Vivian Sinclair always tugged at his emotions.
Austin Grant admitted that he had indeed become very passive now.
"What’s wrong?"
"Still mad?"
He patiently moved closer again, trying to comfort her as he used to.
Even Zoe Monroe, when being unreasonable, quickly gave in once Austin Grant put aside his pride.
This time, Vivian Sinclair had suffered grievances, and Austin Grant felt it was okay to comfort her.
As long as she could safely deliver the child, not quarrel with him anymore.
Vivian Sinclair looked at him coldly: "I want to know how you handled last night’s incident."
"This time, I and the child nearly lost our lives, and as a father, don’t you have anything to say?"
Austin Grant became irritable when she opened her mouth to question this matter upon waking up.
"Honey, let’s talk about this after you’re discharged, okay?"
Vivian Sinclair: "Why wait until I’m discharged to discuss it?"
"Even if I lost half my life, you couldn’t bear to harm a single strand of the culprit’s hair?"
Vivian Sinclair’s aggressive interrogation made Austin Grant lose patience.
"What do you actually want?"
He stood up, voice low and angry: "Now Zoe has been chased away by our Grant Family. Isn’t that enough for you?"
"Vivian, Zoe didn’t mean to."
"She said she never touched you, only mistook you for a thief, which led to the incident during the chase."
"Can’t you forgive her?"
"Just consider it even!"
Vivian Sinclair found it amusing.
"Forgive?"
"Evened out?"
"So, you still think I manipulated Zoe Monroe’s departure back then?"
"Austin Grant, what makes you think you can decide everything for me!"
"I won’t forgive you!"
"Get out!"
Vivian thrust a pillow at Austin, then angrily swept the teacup and fruits on her bedside table to the floor.
She was intentionally causing trouble while also genuinely venting her emotions.
But this move undoubtedly stomped all over Austin’s pride.
When had he ever been humiliated like this in front of her?
His face was full of barely contained anger: "With such a stubborn nature, besides me, no one else in this world could tolerate you even a bit!"
"Now that you’re out of danger, I’ve conveyed Zoe’s apology, and whether you accept it or not is up to you."
"From today on, you’d better reflect on yourself!"
Having said that, Austin left the ward with a dark expression.
His proud nature wouldn’t allow him to stay after Vivian had practically thrown him out.
Once he was gone, the furious expression on Vivian’s face vanished instantly.
As expected, just as she had imagined, everything that happened last night didn’t sway Zoe’s position in Austin’s heart much.
She only needed to play the victim, make up some random excuse, and Austin would unhesitatingly choose to believe her and side with her.
As for the sweet talk about living a good life together she heard in the ambulance last night, he probably didn’t even remember saying it.
However, there’s no need to rush.
Vivian had long anticipated it wouldn’t be easy to destroy them, so she had already prepared herself mentally.
She planned to slowly, and step by step, tear apart their rotten and foul relationship, one that disregarded others for their own happiness.
"Ha, the real show is yet to come."
Vivian picked up her phone and called Patrick.
"Send Miss Monroe’s phone number to Gregory Monroe."
Patrick: "Yes, boss."
As expected, it wasn’t even an hour after Austin left that Zoe showed up.
Vivian was strolling down the hallway when Zoe ran up and grabbed her.
"Vivian, what do you really want?"
"Do I have to literally kneel before you for you to let go of me?"
Zoe seemed on the verge of collapse.
"I know you hate me because of Austin’s past feelings for me."
"But it ended long ago. Now, with Austin, it’s nothing more than a classmate bond. If he doesn’t help me, what will become of my life?"
"If it weren’t for you suddenly showing up back then, if it hadn’t been for you seeking to marry in, I wouldn’t have been forced to flee abroad. My future shouldn’t have turned out this way."
"Don’t you bear any responsibility?"
Zoe cried, distorting the facts, shouting loudly as if she wanted everyone to hear.
Seeing her acting this way, Vivian was certain Zoe intended more than just throwing dirt on her. She might have other schemes prepared.
For instance, which of these people holding filming phones are hers?
If that’s the case, Vivian decided to help her along!
In a blink, Vivian’s eyes reddened.
She grabbed Zoe’s arm and pressed closer to her: "So even though Austin and I are married, and I have a child, you still think I’m the other woman who intruded on your love with him?"
"So, last night at your birthday party, you got jealous and attacked me with a stick, even wanting to harm the child I’m carrying with Austin?"
Zoe froze for a moment, not expecting Vivian to counterattack so swiftly and calmly.
With more and more people gathering around, Zoe had no choice but to continue arguing through gritted teeth: "But in love, there’s always a first to come, a first to arrive...!"
"And I already said, last night I didn’t know it was you, and I never touched you. I have no idea how you fell!"
"I’ve been wronged about this!"
"I never wanted you to miscarry, because—"
Of course, Zoe was wronged.
Because only those who framed her truly knew how wronged she was.
Vivian sneered, advancing: "Because of what?"
"Zoe, what are you trying to say?"
In her panic, Zoe almost bit her tongue.
She certainly couldn’t say it out loud!
All she could do was let Vivian continue pressing: "You almost caused me to miscarry. How can I let you go?"
"Zoe, if I really lost my child, I would fight you to the death!"
The determination in Vivian’s eyes almost made Zoe blurt out the truth: But the child inside you is really mine and Austin’s!
It’s not your blood, Vivian.
But Zoe clenched her teeth and didn’t say it.
If she spoke it out now, Vivian would definitely abort the child on the spot, and Zoe would lose everything.
Zoe was growing desperate; she had initially planned to pressure Vivian, to have her abusive treatment recorded, painting herself as the innocent victim to Austin, and provide excuses to Gregory Monroe.
But she underestimated Vivian’s tactics and reactions!
Moreover, did Vivian overhear anything scandalous last night?
Feeling she couldn’t uncover the truth and being backed into a corner, Zoe’s eyes darted around; she had to make a last-ditch effort!
Zoe pretended to push Vivian, but then suddenly lost her footing and fell backward with a thud—
"Ah!"
Zoe let out a scream as she was abruptly shoved by Vivian, who genuinely and deliberately pushed her hard, causing her to fall backward, hitting her head heavily against the edge of a flower pot.
In the moment of her fall, Zoe looked frightened.
Because she clearly sensed that while she pretended to fall, Vivian’s push was genuine and intentional!
Just as she was feeling a bit smug for achieving her goal, Zoe’s fear peaked.
She realized she couldn’t understand Vivian at all!
What was she really up to?
Fortunately, in that critical moment, an urgently arriving Austin stepped out of the elevator.
Seeing Zoe fall, he shouted in rage: "Zoe—"
