Chapter 20 Are You Coming Down or Shall I Go Up?

Having failed to hit her, Vivian was enraged. She pointed at Nancy’s nose, shouting. “Nancy,wake up! If it weren’t for my lack of desire for this marriage, you, being the useless daughter you are, would have never had a chance to become Mrs. Firth!”

Nancy slapped away her hand and said, “Yeah, I don’t deserve him. But we’re related by blood. We have the same father. What makes you more capable? After following mom into a wealthy family, you really think of yourself as a princess!”

“Sure!”

Vivian lifted her chin, “Even though we’re related by blood, mom loves me, not you. Otherwise, why didn’t she take you with her as well?”

Nancy’s face turned pale instantly. Her mom leaving only with Vivian had always been a painful memory

for her.

She didn’t yearn for wealth or nobility. But her mom had abandoned her and their father.

Every child longed for mother’s love.

Nancy had never felt it.

-Vivian saw that her words hurt Nancy and became even more pleased, “You’re destined to be wretched

You can only marry a poor man like your dad. But I’m different. Mom loves me, and dad also loves me. 1 am a little princess. You, a cheap woman who can’t hide her hillbilly nature even when wearing luxurious clothes, can never compare!”

“Vivian, enough!”

Nancy nearly bit her lip to bleed and shouted in anger.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Vivian not only wasn’t afraid but rather became even more smug. “Oh, are you angry now? Heh–heh, Nancy, if both of us stand in front of Charlie, who do you think he will look at? Me or you?”

Nancy didn’t need to think to know that Charlie would definitely look at Vivian.

In his heart, he had always liked Vivian.

Nancy could hardly breath. Her eyes turned red. She knew that everything she had today was only. because she had taken Vivian’s place. Now that Vivian wanted to tell everyone the truth, once Vivian returned to Charlie’s side, he probably wouldn’t even spare her a glance.

Heh–heh…

What was her heart bleeding for?

At this moment, Nancy’s phone, which was just thrown to the ground by Vivian, suddenly vibrated -violently with the ringtone.

Both Nancy and Vivian looked down at the phone at the same time. Charlie’s name flashed on the phone

screen.

Charlie was calling!

Almost at the same time, Nancy and Vivian reached out their hands towards the phone. Just as Nancy’s hand was about to touch the phone, Vivian pushed her away and snatched the phone.

Holding the phone, Vivian glanced at Nancy sitting on the ground and proudly put the phone to her ear.

From the earpiece, came Charlie’s deep and mellow volce, “Are you coming down or shall I go up?”

“Hmm?”

Slightly taken aback, Vivian immediately turned and ran to the window. Looking through it, she saw Charlie standing at the entrance of her villa. Her heart filled with joy, and even her smile became brighter.

With a feigned gentle voice, she said, “I’ll come down.”

Then she hung up the phone, walked to Nancy, and looked down at her, “Heh… Nancy, did you see that? You haven’t been gone for long, and Charlie couldn’t wait to come to my villa. If it wasn’t for my name, do you think Charlie would spare you a single glance?”

With that said, Vivian didn’t even give another glance at Nancy. Holding the phone, she happily ran downstairs.
