Chapter 737
Vivienne''s eyes crinkled with mirth, "Soren''s injuries still have yet to recover?"
Anna replied with a soft concern, "It''s healed, mostly. But the spot where the shrapnel hit him, it res up whenever there''s a
storm brewing. Ms. Vivienne, do you know of any remedy that could help him fully recover?"
"Sure do," Vivienne said, her eyes gleaming with mischief as if she were privy to some juicy gossip. "But why are you asking on
his behalf? Let hime to me. Treatment needs to be personalized, doesn''t it? How can | offer advice without seeing the
patient himself?"
At Vivienne''s words, Anna''s cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red. "I—I wanted him toe, but he''s a bit reluctant. He''s
scared of Percival, and then there''s the matter of..."
Her voice trailed off, growing fainter and fainter as if she were grappling with how to articte her thoughts. Her eyes were a
tumultuous sea of turmoil and embarrassment.
Vivienne''s curiosity piqued even further. She had never seen Anna so flustered before.
Aaron, ever blunt and without reservations, blurted out, "Vivienne, let me fill you in. It''s all Keh''s fault. Lately, that boy''s been
acting like a lovesick puppy, shadowing Anna every chance he gets."
It wasn''t just his clinginess that was the issue.
The guy had beenying on the charm thick, using the most cringeworthy pick-up lines imaginable.
He''d gone all out on his confession to Anna; Aaron counted off on his fingers, "He started off with the ssic—candlelit dinners,
red roses, pretty standard. But then he went off the deep end with those heart-shaped music boxes, you know, the ones with
glittery rainbow colors and Anna''s picture stered all over them. And the cacti? Don''t even get me started, and then there was
that snow globe..."
Vivienne listened, her face contorting with second-hand embarrassment.
She tried to maintain a straight face, but her twitching lips betrayed her. She had little hope that Aaron''s storytelling was going to
improve.
Aaron opened his mouth, then burst intoughter, "You should''ve seen it, Vivienne. That snow globe—it had a tiny figurine of
Keh inside, and when you shook it, it would y ‘Eye of the Tiger’ and the little guy would start dancing. Hrious!"
Atiny figurine, singing ‘Eye of the Tiger’?
And dancing?
Vivienne pictured the scene and looked at Anna with a mix of sympathy and amusement. "You''ve had it rough..."
Anna couldn''t even muster a smile. She had kept silent for fear of this very embarrassment.
While Vivienne managed to hold back herughter, Aaron had already had his fill of amusement back at school.
Now, he wasughing uncontrobly. Anna held back her impulse to p Aaron and said, seething, "Go on,ugh. Let''s see if
you can keepughing when Percivales backter.”
She was frustrated! Keh was the one doing all those embarrassing things, yet she was the one who was embarrassed!
Aaron was having theugh of his life, and he didn’t fully grasp Anna''s threat. "So what? You think I''m scared of you? Or do
you... Wait, who''sing back?"
Hisughter ceased abruptly, turning into a hup, "Percival''s out dealing with business, isn''t he? Why would he be back so
soon? Did you message him?"
A barrage of questions tumbled out of Aaron before Anna could respond.
Seeing the smug look on her face, Aaron realized the truth, his handsome features momentarily crumbling. "Oh, you''re good,
Anna. Here | was, being all nice, bringing you to Vivienne, and this is how you repay me? You traitor, you''ve betrayed the cause!"
"Who said we were ever on the same side?!" Anna retorted. She turned to Vivienne, "Ms. Vivienne, you tasked me with
protecting him, and now that GTO is nearly dismantled, can | finally consider my missionplete?"
Vivienne cocked her head, her face a picture of bewilderment. "Didn''t | tell you? That assignment was over ages ago. | thought
you''d already rejoined the team. To think you were still at school..."
“Over? | could have left?" Anna''s triumph froze on her lips. "But you never told me that."
She could have left already?
Had she known this sooner, she wouldn''t have wasted her time with Keh at school! And she wouldn''t have rued such a
mortifying history!This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
Catching the regret on Anna''s face, Vivienne opened her mouth, then turned away guiltily; she had indeed forgotten to inform
her.
There had been so much to handle since returning.
It had only been today that she found a moment to catch her breath, and by then, she hadpletely forgotten about Anna''s
situation.
The room fell into an awkward silence.
Finally, unable to withstand the tension, Aaron sidled up to Vivienne, "Say, Vivienne, I''ve been meaning to ask—can | join your
organization?"
"Nope." Vivienne didn''t hesitate to
refuse, "Stick to your studies. Isn''t

needs you to hold down the fort.
Don''t get caught up in every wild
scheme that crosses your mind."

“Just his type wouldn''t even pass the Vanguard Agency''s entrance tests."
The sudden sound of the door swinging open turned their heads. Percival stood there, an imposing figure with a stern gaze fixed
on Aaron, clearly displeased.
Aaron bristled defensively. "What''s wrong with me joining? I''m the head of the Miller family now. If Anna can join, why can''t 1?"
Vivienne smirked. "Because you can''t beat Anna in a fight. Quit dreaming and stay out of trouble.”
At the Abernathy estate.
As Victoria stepped into the grand foyer, her eyes instantly met Gavin''s, who sat with an air of authority at the head of the room.
Harrison stood by his side while Sophie took her ce at the lower head of the table to his right, all three pairs of eyes bearing
down on Victoria with palpable disdain.
“Really, what is this, a Spanish Inquisition?" Victoria quipped, her gaze sweeping the room with a mocking smile.
Gavin''s stern expression flickered.
"Where are the things | asked yo
fetch? It''s been agpsithisitetons
af pradtidétly a fallen house. A
family of the frail and ill, and you can''t
even handle one woman? What use
do | have for you?!" Please read the

Victoria snorted withughter. "How should | know what use | am to you? Dad, be reasonable. You''re the one who forced me into
doing your dirty work. When did | ever im | could pull it off without a hitch?"
She spun around and took the seat of
honor on the left. "Kaitlyn is a

"Victoria!" Harrison frowned and rebuked her. "Is that any way to speak to Dad? He''s just asking; there''s no need for such an
outburst!"
