Meanwhile, the air in the Chief Editor’s office was exceedingly tensed.
Ashley was standing in front of Fabian’s desk with her pupils enlarged in fury as she shrieked, “Fabian,
why didn’t you tell me that Vivian is your uncle’s newly married wife?”
It was very much to Fabian’s surprise that Ashley had found out about Vivian’s identity. He was
befuddled for a while but when he looked at the egotistical way Ashley behaved, an impatient gleam
flashed across his eyes and he replied, “I didn’t keep you in the dark on purpose. It was just not
something I’d deliberately mention out of the blue. Besides, they’d also attend the party on the
weekend. Wouldn’t you have found out by then?”
Ashley got even more irritated when he mentioned the party.
“And you have the cheek to bring up the party on this weekend!” Ashley’s pitch turned even more ear-
piercing. “Have you ever thought about how devastated I would be if I suddenly saw Vivian at the
party? And how should I even address her?”
Ashley had been spoiled by Harvey and Emma since young, as a result, she had always been very
capricious.
However, in order to get along well with Fabian, she had been trying to restrain her temper for the past
six months. Yet, she was in a state of frenzy this time and could no longer suppress her wrath.
All this was a result of her contempt for Vivian, especially when she realized how she thought she had
shattered Vivian William, the person she despised the most in the world. Unfortunately, it turned out
that Vivian had got on top of her and became Fabian’s aunt; therefore, she needed to vent!
“Fabian!” She got angrier. “Tell me the truth now! Did you knowingly hide this from me because you still
care about Vivian? Are you waiting to see me get embarrassed on the weekend!”
Fabian was extremely annoyed by Ashley but when he heard her last sentence, he regained his
composure.
“What are you talking about?” With a scornful laugh and a ruthless beam radiating from his eyes, he
replied, “It’s still not time to tell who will be the one to feel embarrassed yet.”
Though perplexed, Ashley had finally redeemed her cool.
She furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Fabian, what’s that supposed to mean?”
“Don’t you think this is strange?” Fabian lighted a cigarette and started puffing on it. “How could the
Norton family accept a woman like Vivian who had such a murky past two years ago?”
Ashley was still confused but right in the next instant, it suddenly dawned on her the implication behind
Fabian’s words and she was no longer irate. Instead, she became excited at once. “Fabian, are you This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
saying that your uncle is still unaware of what happened two years ago?”
“He’s aware.” Fabian’s face darkened unwittingly.
Again, Ashley was stunned. “Then why did he still…”
“The point is not about Uncle Finnick.” Fabian was increasingly irritated and he interrupted Ashley
hastily. “It’s about my grandpa. For a veteran like him, virtue is what he values most in people. There’s
no way for him to tolerate a woman with a stinking past like Vivian.”
Ashley was instantly pleased. “Well then, Fabian, what have you prepared?”
“I’m preparing to spill the truth about Vivian to Grandpa at the party this weekend.”
“That’s it?” A little disappointment crept on Ashley’s stunning face.
Fabian frowned. “What are you suggesting?”
Under the pointy glare of Fabian, Ashley laughed playfully. “I was simply asking.”
In spite of everything, Ashley was relieved after knowing that Fabian was going to come after Vivian as
well.
Doesn’t that imply that Fabian has no more feelings for Vivian?
Even though it’s a shame Vivian managed to hook up with Finnick, but Finnick is just a cripple after all.
And by disclosing that incident from two years ago, Vivian might just be chased out by the Norton
family.
Ashley felt a lot better thinking of that.
Realizing that she had lost her self-control just then, Ashley was a little rueful and she went up to
Fabian. She sat on his lap ingratiatingly, and said, “Fabian, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lost my temper.
Are you mad at me?”
