Chapter 238
He walked in with his wife, Cheryl, and his eldest son, Ronald, followed by his second son, Carl. They
were surprised to see Eddy kneeling before Vivienne in the living room and a furious Pa making a
scene.
"What''s going on?"
"Brother!" Pa cried out to Timothy as if he were her only hope, using Vivienne of being
disrespectful. "Look at what our eldest brother has brought back. She''s being so rude, and she even hit
Eddy!"
Timothy''s brows furrowed with displeasure. Ronald tried to intervene, but Timothy had already started
scolding Vivienne. "Vivienne, you''re acting out of line! Your aunt Pa may be blunt, but you can''t
disrespect your elders, let aloney hands on your cousin."
Ronald and Cheryl exchanged helpless nces.
Pa had been harboring resentment toward Scott for many years. Now that she saw Scott''s daughter,
it was inevitable that she would vent her anger at her.
Timothy, however, was always swayed by Pa''s persuasivenguage out of sympathy for his beloved
sister.
Vivienne looked annoyed. She was about to speak but was interrupted by Percival''s phone ringing.
He nced at the caller ID and picked up the call. "Granddad."
All eyes were immediately on Percival. He held the phone out and put it on speaker mode, so everyone
could hear Richard''s irate voice bellowing from the phone.
"Where is my granddaughter-inw!? You were supposed to bring Vivienne to meet me and spend
some time with me. Where is she? Didn’t youe back to Rivenwood with her? At least let Vivienne
"I didn''t kidnap her." Percival replied while looking at the Brooks family with cold eyes. "Vivienne is the
daughter of the Brooks family''s head, and our car was stopped in the middle of the road by his
entourage."
He passed the me to Scott without hesitation. “I apanied Vivienne to meet her family.”
“Vivienne is Scott’s child?” Richard sounded surprised, thenughed heartily. "It seems like the Brooks
family is blind. Why had they previously recognized Arabe as their own?"
The Brooks family fell silent as they began reflecting on their past mistakes.
Pa was the only one who chuckled sarcastically.
"It seems like the Brooks family doesn''t wee Vivienne." Percival sighed as his cold gaze fell on
Scott. "We hadn''t even had a chance to sit down before her aunt started ridiculing Vivienne for being
engaged to me."
The Brooks family''s faces turned pale. They knew they were in trouble.
Richard’s enraged voice echoed from the phone. “What?! My precious granddaughter-inw is being
bullied in Scott''s house?!
Bring Vivienne back to our house immediately! If the Brooks family can''t tolerate her, the Ellington
family has plenty of space. I''d love for Vivienne to stay with us. I can''t believe they have the guts to
bully my granddaughter-inw! I need to go give old Baron a piece of my mind!"
After hanging up the phone, Percival looked at Scott with a smile that wasn''t quite a smile. "You heard
my granddad. If your family doesn’t wee Vivienne, don''t force her to stay. I''ll take her back with
me."
The many members of the Brooks family looked ufortable. They didn''t expect Percival to report
this to Richard.
Timothy, guessing the gist of the situation, felt it was beneath him to apologize as the elder of the
family.
"You must be Vivienne. You''re very pretty." Cheryl stepped in to smooth things over, taking Vivienne''s
hand with a smile. "Your uncle Timothy is a bit slow. Don''t mind him."
She was practically calling Timothy stupid for being easily manipted by Pa.
Timothy opened his mouth to make his case, but Cheryl red him down.
She introduced Ronald and another young man to Vivienne. "This is your cousin Ronald and your
second cousin Carl."
"We''ve met in Havenwood." Ronald greeted Vivienne with a friendly smile.
"Hello." Vivienne responded indifferently.
Carl scoffed and didn''t even nce at Vivienne. He headed upstairs, dering, "I''m tired. I’m going to
rest for a bit."
His disrespectful behavior made Cheryl instantly feel awkward.
"He just got back from abroad and is still adjusting to the time difference. He didn''t mean to offend you."
Ronald exined apologetically to Vivienne.
But Vivienne didn''t care. Whether it was intentional rudeness or genuine tiredness, it had nothing to do
with her.
Returning to the Brooks family was not about living peacefully with them.
So she didn’t give a damn about how the Brooks family felt about her or how they perceived her.
In short, they better not mess with her.
If they did, it would be their own fault. And if they were at fault, they were going to receive a serious
whooping!
It had been a long time since she had had a good brawl. Thest time she had a really good fight was
when she saved someone from Felix. It wasn''t enough.
This time around, the Brooks family would make a perfect punching bag.
Melissa thought Vivienne might be upset about Carl''s actions after seeing her be so silent. She quickly
diverted the topic by introducing Ashley. "Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is your cousin Ashley, my
daughter. I''m your aunt.”
"I also have a son who is older than you, but he isn''t home yet. You''ll meet himter at lunch."
"Nice to meet you." Vivienne nodded politely.
"Vivienne, you and Mr. Ellington must be tired from the journey." Picking up her mother''s cue, Ashley
immediately got chummy with Vivienne. "Your room is ready. Why don''t you folks freshen up and

change?"
Vivienne and Percival didn''t object, and they followed Melissa and Ashley upstairs.
As soon as they left, Ronald''s cell phone rang. He nced at the screen and grimaced at Scott and
Timothy.
"It''s my grandpa."
Timothy took a deep breath, while Scott waved his hand, indicating for Ronald to answer the call.
Ronald reluctantly picked up the phone, bracing himself for Baron''s wrath.
As expected, the moment he answered the call, Baron unleashed a barrage of curses and insults. "Are
you a bunch of pigs? First, you misidentify her, and now, when you finally recognize her, you''re still
causing her trouble?
If your brains don''t work, see a doctor! Don''t be a pain in my neck all day. Vivienne has been wronged
for so many years, so you better make it up to her! If you dare mess around again, I won''t let you off
when I get back!"
Ronald rubbed his temples, listening without daring to interrupt.
"Give the phone to Pa!" Baron roared from the other end.
