NovelEndChapter 73 Olivia said, "Alright, Miss Sullivan." Vivian and Olivia's voices overlapped almost perfectly.
Vivian was momentarily speechless. Olivia, too, said nothing.
After a while, Vivian finally spoke, disbelief coloring her voice. "Olivia, did Serena threaten you? Is that why you're listening to her? Tell me, and I'll stand up for you." Olivia felt awkward. She had once accepted money from Cynthia Lynwood to keep an eye on Serena. But now, she just wanted to do the right thing.

Vivian was still reeling from shock. "Se... Serena, did you...?" Could Serena have drugged Olivia? She remembered that Olivia used to look down on Serena more than any of the other staff! Serena ignored Vivian and walked over to the couch, taking a seat.
Vivian was stunned by the indifference. Not long ago, Serena would have bent over backward to please her, fearful of saying the wrong thing. Could the rumors be true? Had Serena really stopped caring about her brother? Impossible...
Just then, the sound of a car horn cfrom outside. Aaron had returned.
Vivian brightened and rushed to greet Aaron. "Brother!" she exclaimed, though her eyes flicked back to Serena, who remained seated on the couch, unmoved.
How could this be? In the past, whenever her brother chome, Serena would be eagerly at his side, ready to help with his bags or serve him tea. She practically played the role of a servant.
"Hello," Aaron acknowledged her with a brief nod, his gaze landing on Serena.
Feeling Aaron's eyes on her, Serena turned to greet him, her discomfort evident. "You're back," she said with a slight smile, a stark contrast to her previous coldness.
Aaron's eyes glimmered with an unreadable emotion. "Dinner should be ready soon. I had Olivia prepare something light for your stomach." Serena lied effortlessly, but to Vivian, it looked like she was trying to curry favor.

"Brother, it's so good you're back," Vivian said, clinging to Aaron and pouting. "Serena's been so mean to me. You have to set her straight!" As the only daughter of the Vance family, Vivian was adored by everyone, including Aaron. So she was confident...
After speaking, Vivian smirked at Serena, expecting Aaron to scold Serena harshly. But to her surprise, Aaron gently pushed her away and said, "Vivian, you're a Vance. Where are your manners, calling people names like that? Apologize to Serena." Vivian's eyes widened in shock. "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Had he lost his mind, asking her to apologize to Serena? he was the esteemed Miss Vance! Serena, too, was taken aback.
"I said apologize. Didn't you hear me?" "But, Brother!" Vivian protested, pouting in defiance.
Aaron's expression chilled. "Are you ignoringnow?"
Vivian's heart fluttered nervously. Within the Vance family, Aaron's authority was absolute, his word final...
After a long pause, Vivian reluctantly lowered her head. "Im sorry." Serena merely curled her lips, unfazed by the apology.
