Chapter 365
Finally, a sobbing Vivian explained what had happened the previous night. Sandra’s already unpleasant expression became even darker after hearing Vivian’s words. “I thought you couldn’t catch him, but it turns out you did and let him escape. What exactly did you do? It’s been so long, and you can’t even handle one man p>
“Mom… I didn’t want it to happen like that. I don’t even know how he found out. Suddenly, he just ran away. He must have gone to find Eva last night. What should I do now? I don’t want to be with Benjamin. I love Adrian p>
After hearing this, Sandra looked at her with disappointment. “Don’t worry, you won’t be forced to be with Benjamin p>
For the sake of the Morrison family, Vivian had to marry Adrian. Sandra clenched her lips and made up her mind. “We have to take drastic measures to resolve this situation.” “Mom, what should I do p>
After seeing her daughter looking so distraught, Sandra went back outside the room and said with a tone that had softened a bit. “My daughter is not in the right state of mind to discuss this matter right now. We need to take her home and find out what exactly happened p>
Nancy understood that it was impossible to immediately convince the Morrisons to agree to an alliance. However, she was satisfied with Sandra’s attitude. She nodded and said, “Okay, Benjamin was also taken aback by last night’s events, so his mindset is not very stable. We should go home and find out how this all happened. How about we meet tomorrow p>
Sandra looked at Benjamin and couldn’t see any signs of stress. Instead, he seemed cheerful. His appearance infuriated Sandra, almost making her want to slap him again. Knowing that the situation had not turned out as she had hoped, she forced herself to hold back and nodded, instructing someone to see them out.
After they left, Vivian’s father, Hector, came to discuss a solution to their situation.
As Nancy and her family entered the elevator, she sneered. “The Morrison family would never willingly marry their daughter off to Benjamin. The public opinion is not enough, we need to send some messages out. Since they have come knocking on our door, they shouldn’t think they can leave again p>
Benjamin nodded, “I will do as you say, Mom p>
Nancy rubbed his head contentedly.
However, just as the three of them were leaving the hotel, they were intercepted by a group of men in black suits.
Seeing the aggressive manner of the men, they thought it was from the Morrison family.
“Are you Benjamin? And are these your parents? Come with us p>
Benjamin’s father immediately stood in front of his wife and son, “Who are you? If you’re from the Morrison family, I advise you not to act recklessly. The evidence from last night has been preserved p>
The leader glanced at them and replied quietly, “Who said we’re from the Morrison family p>
“Who are you then p>
“That’s none of your business. Get in the car p>
The three of them looked at each other, worried that someone from the Morrison family sent these men to harm them. However, judging from the disdainful tone and expression when mentioning the Morrison family, it seemed like they didn’t care about or want any connection with them.
After exchanging glances, they obediently got into the car.
Eva was not in the right state of mind at work today. Shortly after she arrived at the company, Tim told her about the meeting and asked her to prepare for it. He jokingly said, “I think you better hire an assistant. Otherwise, I’ll end up doing your assistant’s job p>
Hearing this, Eva replied immediately, “Before the company truly takes off, saving every penny is crucial p>
“Tsk.” Tim teased, “You want to save at my expense? That’s harsh p>
Eva smiled and said, “Well, I won’t forget your kindness and dedication once the company takes off p>
“Alright, I’ll hold you to that and look forward to the day when the company flourishes p>
Although she joked with him and shared several sharp viewpoints during the meeting, she unconsciously started to daydream. It was fine the first time, but it was noticed by everyone several times.
After the meeting ended, Tim approached her.
“What’s wrong? You were daydreaming during the meeting p>
Eva shook her head, “It’s nothing p>
“Do you need to take a break p>
Take a break?
Eva sighed helplessly, “Since you joined, I’ve already taken quite a few breaks. If I take more, will this company even continue functioning p>
“Well, you’re the boss. It’s up to you p>
“Bosses can’t neglect their duties either. If everyone in every position had that mindset, a company would quickly collapse p>
Tim smiled, “That’s true, but you have to balance things in all aspects of your life well in order to devote all your energy to work when you’re at work, don’t you p>
Eva didn’t say anything more, and Tim soon left to attend to his own tasks.
Alone in her office, Eva pondered. What did today’s events have to do with her anyway? She was just someone interested in seeing Adrian perform. How things were handled, whether well or not, was Adrian’s responsibility.
He hadn’t even revealed the results of his performance yet, so why was she in such a rush to know?
If she continued to worry, she would truly lose all focus on everything else.
After realizing this, Eva no longer dwelled on the matter and focused on her work.
That evening, just when everyone wanted to hear more gossip and joke about the Morrison family, tragic news arrived.
Vivian attempted suicide.
Her parents discovered her in the bathtub, luckily it was caught early and she was rushed to the hospital for treatment. However, her emotional state was still unstable, and family members kept a constant watch to prevent any further incidents.
Later that night, Vivian’s parents came out to respond to the media. Sandra faced the camera, her eyes red, and said, “My daughter got drunk yesterday, and Benjamin indeed helped her. Our whole family is very grateful. But I’m not sure why there are rumors being spread everywhere that they had a romantic relationship, when clearly no such thing happened. Everyone knows how important a woman’s reputation is, especially considering Vivian’s involvement with Adrian. False news is spreading everywhere, and Vivian couldn’t handle it, as a woman with dignity. She also thought it would harm Adrian if it continued, so she wanted to show determination through death. Fortunately, we found her early, or else… I would’ve lost my daughter today. I really want to ask, who is so malicious, spreading these rumors p>
After Mrs. Morrison’s address, there was an uproar among the crowd.
For a moment, no one knew whether she and Benjamin had truly been involved or if it was just fabricated rumors.
