Chapter 344


    M, for once, didn''t have any objections.


    Although she was eager to marry Scott, her daughter''s well-being was her top priority.


    If the Brooks family acknowledged Calista, she didn''t care whether she married Scott or not. After all,


    her daughter would share her gains with her in the future.


    In particr, Vivienne would be out of the picture if Calista became Miss Brooks.


    Percival would only belong to her daughter.


    “Scott!” K, disapproving of this oue, stomped her foot in frustration. “How could you agree to let


    Calistae back? What about Vivienne? She was the second Miss Brooks, but if Calista returns,


    she''ll be demoted to the third. Have you thought about how she would feel?”


    Technically, K was Miss Brooks, and Vivienne was the second Miss Brooks.


    But since K was rarely home and seldom participated in the Brooks family''s business affairs, few


    people knew about her status.


    So when Vivienne returned, everyone naturally started referring to her as Miss Brooks.


    However, Vivienne, who was second in the family hierarchy, now suddenly became third. It was


    infuriating!


    Ashley was also upset, "Yeah, why should an illegitimate daughter be the second Miss Brooks?"


    She used to have a good impression of Calista, who was a medical prodigy with a cool and aloof


    demeanor. But she immediately disliked Calista as she heard M''s shocking news.


    Just like she couldn''t stand Pa, she couldn''t stand Calista either.


    Pa had turned the Brooks family upside down, and now here was Calista, a daughter born out of


    wedlock through unfair means. The thought alone made Ashley nauseous.


    She had always felt that love was the thing she yearned the most whereas the actions of M and her


    daughter had tainted it.


    "Enough!" Scott suddenly shouted, "This matter is settled and no one else is allowed toment!"


    K wanted to argue for Vivienne, but the stern look from Scott made her tremble in fear so she didn''t


    dare to say anything.


    Vivienne, on the other hand, was as steady as a rock; she was sitting in her chair with a faint smile on


    her face.


    K couldn''t understand how Vivienne could remain so calm when this illegitimate daughter had rioted.


    Scott noticed Vivienne''sposure too. He walked over to her and tried to soften his voice, “Vivienne,


    I apologize to you and your mother... but Tristan, he owes his life to your mother. He wishes to marry


    Calista, and she shares his feelings. I want to fulfill his wish.”


    Scott paused and said, “But don''t worry, my fortunes will still all be yours. Calista won''t get a penny!”


    Upon hearing this, M and Calista''s faces darkened.


    Just as they expected, Scott would never truly care for them.


    But that didn’t matter. That was a long game. They would wait and see whether Vivienne would inherit


    the Brooks family fortune and whether she would sessfully marry Percival.


    Vivienne stood up, looked at Scott, and spoke calmly, “Mr. Brooks, this is your family matter. As long as


    you''re pleased, there''s no need to inform me.”


    “Vivienne…” Scott was displeased with Vivienne''s attitude.


    She had been back for quite some time, but she never changed her cold demeanor towards him.


    Even a heart of iron should have been melted by now, right?


    But in her eyes, he was less than Dorian and Cordelia. He had seen herughing and talking easily


    with them several times.


    Why was it different with him?


    “Mr. Brooks, have you finished dealing with your family matters?” Vivienne ignored Scott''s hesitation.


    Scott was silent for a moment before sighing, “Yes, I have.”


    “Good, now it''s my turn to deal with my brother''s issue.” Vivienne said as she strode towards Calista.


    Calista was immediately panicked. She was lying on the ground and feeling pain all over her body. She


    could only use her hands to push herself backwards and said in a frightened voice, “What are you


    doing? I am your sister!”


    Vivienne stood over her and looked down at her, “They might acknowledge you, but I don''t!”


    “You… you''re outrageous!” Calista looked up at Vivienne, who stood there like a statue. Her presence


    made it hard for her to breathe.


    Seeing this, M quickly stepped in front of Calista and looked straight into Vivienne’s eyes, “Vivienne,


    don''t go too far! Calista was wrong to hit your brother and she''ll apologize to you. But now you''re all


    family. I hope you can let bygones be bygones!”


    “Apologize? I don''t ept it!”


    Vivienne swiftly picked up Calista from the ground; with a quick twist of her hands, Calista''s arm was


    broken.


    Calista screamed in pain, but before she could make a sound, Vivienne quickly disabled all her limbs!


    She then tossed Calista on the ground like a piece of garbage.


    Her movements were lightning fast, so quick that no one could clearly see how she struck. She stood


    grounded with hands in her pockets; her posture radiated an air of supreme authority and indifference.


    Vivienne swept her gaze over the Brooks family and slowly talked, "From now on, anyone who dares to


    Her pretty face and soft voice belied the immense pressure her words exerted.


    The Brooks was left speechless.


    Vivienne turned to Scott nonchntly, "Mr. Brooks, I''ve incapacitated your daughter. If you have any


    grievances,e find me."


    With that said, she turned and ascended the staircase.


    It took a good five minutes after she had left before anyone from the Brooks dared to speak up.


    Scott was the first to recover. He nced at Calista with a look of disdain, but nevertheless ordered his


    staff, "Get her to the hospital. Spare no effort in treating her."


    After all, she was his daughter. He couldn''t just ignore her.


    …


    At midnight.


    Vivienne had just finished with her work when there was a knock at her door.


    She rose to open it and found Tristan standing outside.


    He greeted her, "Vivienne."


    "Hmm." She acknowledged and stepped aside to let him in.


    Tristan stepped into the room, walking as smoothly as any normal person would.


    Vivienne gestured towards the couch, "Have a seat."


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Tristan nodded and sat down.


    After a moment of silence, he reported, "Calista has been sent to the hospital."


    "Alright, I got it." Vivienne poured two sses of water and handed one to Tristan.


    Tristan took a sip, then looked at Vivienne as he tightened his lips. After a moment of hesitation, he


    finally asked, "I don''t understand. If you intended to incapacitate Calista, why let her return to the


    Brooks family?"
