    Chapter 77


    North Shire.


    Vivienne coldly stared at the olddy in front of her, standing tall and saying frostily, "Quit tailing me,


    please."


    The olddy looked back at her with a heartbroken expression. "Missy, lend me a hand, will you? Let


    me tag along with you to the city. I''m broke, lost my phone, and can''t reach my family."


    "I''m not a saint!" Vivienne retorted, her voice rising in frustration.


    The biggest mistake of her life was offering a hand to this olddy without getting anything in return,


    only to find herself in a jam.


    She hade down from Emerald Mountain this morning, nning to catch the first flight out to


    Havenwood, but soon after the descent, she ran into a couple of thugs giving the olddy a hard time


    and demanding stuff from her. After seeing the olddy''s pitiful state, she slipped the thugs a mickey


    and saved the olddy.


    However, the olddy kept sticking to her like glue.


    After finding out that the olddy''s home was in Rivenwood, she decided to y the good Samaritan


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    and get the olddy on a ne to there since she was heading for the airport anyway.


    But on the way to the airport, she got cut off by some people. Not wanting to waste time, she took them


    out without breaking a sweat.


    Who would have thought that she would then bump into seven or eight waves of people? And they


    weren''t even from the same gang!


    She had no clue about the olddy''s identity or who she had ticked off. All she knew was that she was


    losing her marbles because of this olddy and had missed her flight to Havenwood.


    She left the olddy behind and walked away, but the olddy stuck to her like glue.


    No matter where she went, the olddy was right on her tail.


    In the end, she had no choice but to take the olddy with her.


    She initially wanted to ask Matthew to send a car to pick them up and take them to Havenwood, but


    considering the olddy''s odd situation, she didn''t want to expose Matthew, so she hired a cab herself.


    On the way to Havenwood, the people chasing the olddy didn''t let up. Since she was in the taxi, she


    couldn''t use any drugs, so they drove right up to them.


    The driver was scared out of his wits. He refused to drive them any further and dumped them in the


    middle of nowhere.


    Vivienne was at her wit''s end. After dealing with the people chasing the olddy, she decided to ditch


    her and go alone.


    Luckily, where the driver had left them wasn’t far from Havenwood, so she walked to Havenwood.


    But all the way, the olddy kept trailing her. Aware that she was in a bind because of this, the olddy


    followed her at a distance and didn''t dare talk to her.


    But now, the people who were after the olddy were gunning for her. They weren''t after the olddy


    anymore but were giving her a hard time.


    She had run out of the knockout drugs she carried and was left with no other choice but to take them


    on.


    Vivienne was livid.


    "You''re a good egg." The olddy said earnestly, "You might not show it, but you''re kind-hearted. I


    know I''ve been a pain in the neck, but I promise I''ll make it up to you once I find my family. Please lend


    me a hand. Just get me to the airport."


    Vivienne responded, "I''m going to say this onest time. Quit tailing me."


    After saying this, she turned and walked away.


    The olddy quickly stopped her. "Could you lend me some money? We''re already in Havenwood, so


    they probably won''te after me anymore. Can I hail a cab to the airport?"


    Vivienne rubbed her temples. "I don''t carry cash. All my money is in my mobile banking app. You lost


    your phone, so how am I supposed to give you money?"


    "Uh..." The olddy was on the verge of tears. "Could you just take me with you then? My son and I


    were looking for Finnian at Emerald Mountain, but we got chased and lost each other. I don''t even


    know how to get back. Otherwise, I wouldn''t bother you. Please feel a bit sorry for this old gal."


    Vivienne''s eyes narrowed. "Finnian?"


    This olddy knew her master?


    "Yes, we heard Finnian was at Emerald Mountain. We had some business with him, but they of the


    know Finnian too?"


    Vivienne stared at her for a long time before speaking after a brief silence. "What''s your rtionship


    with Finnian?"


    "We are..." The olddy was about to speak when she suddenly realized something. "I''m sorry, I can''t


    tell you about this. But I swear, I''m not a bad egg. It''s those people chasing me who are."


    "Do bad eggs have ''I''m a bad egg'' written on their faces?" Vivienne asked with an emotionless


    expression.


    "I can assure you that I''m definitely not a bad egg."


    Vivienne didn''t continue arguing over whether the olddy was a good egg or a bad egg.


    After thinking for a bit, she said, "I''ll take you to the airport. If anything else happens, you’re on your


    own."


    "Okay, okay, I promise this is thest time. If anyone elsees after me, then it''s just my lot. I won''t


    follow you anymore."


    Vivienne didn''t say anything more and just continued walking with the olddy.


    They had just entered North Shire, a remote ce with no cabs. They had to walk a bit further to hail a


    cab.


    But no sooner had they taken a few steps than a car drove up.


    Vivienne looked up and saw it was Percival''s car. She was taken aback.


    The car stopped in front of her. Percival got out and walked up to her. "Vivienne, what happened?"


    Vivienne stared at his legs, looking surprised. "You?"


    Wasn''t he pretending to be disabled?


    He wasn''t in his wheelchair.


    At this point, Leopold and Thomas got out of the car. “Finally, we’ve found you. You have no idea. Mr.


    Ellington was so worried about you that he left the hotel without even his wheelchair and just got in the


    car. Thank God, you’re okay.”


    Vivienne felt a warm feeling inside, but she also felt a bit guilty. "I''m sorry. I ran into some trouble and


    got dyed. Can we reschedule the engagement party?"


    The engagement party was supposed to be at noon, and it was almost one now. The elders from both


    families probably wouldn''t wait any longer.


    Percival gave her head a rub. "I’m d you''re okay. The engagement''s still on. I''ve exined it to


    them, so they''re still at the hotel."


    Vivienne nodded. "Then let''s get going."


    Only then did Percival notice the olddy next to Vivienne. "Who''s this?"


    "I saved her on the way. We''ll go to the hotel first, and you can arrange for someone to take her to the


    airportter." Vivienne said.


    Percival only had one car. There was definitely no time to take the olddy to the airport now.


    Percival nodded, and they all got in the car.


    When they arrived at the hotel, Percival sent Thomas to take the olddy to the airport.


    Before leaving, the olddy asked Vivienne, "Youngdy, could you tell me your name? When I get


    home safe, I''ll have my family thank you."


    Vivienne replied, "No need. I hope we never meet again."


    The olddy looked a bit disappointed, but she didn''t insist. "I''m sorry for the trouble I''ve caused. I have


    to go now. I wish you a happy engagement and hope your marriage is blessed."


    After the olddy left, Percival, Vivienne, and Leopold went into the hotel.


    When they got into the elevator, Vivienne remembered something and suddenly looked at Percival.


    "You’re just going in like that?"


    Percival smirked and said with augh, "It’s time for my ''disability'' to take a hike."
