Chapter 49
Vivianna's face fell slightly. She looked coldly at Jessamyn, who was warning her, and said, "Mrs. Lambert, what do you mean by that?"
Jessamyn folded her arms and sneered, "What do I mean? Don't you know that? Today, Xenophilius told me that he met you in the restaurant. Tell me, how did you meet him in such an enormous A city? Did you deliberately create an opportunity to get close to him?"
After hearing that, Vivianna jeered, "Why should I create an opportunity to approach a man who'd abandoned me?"
The anger on Jessamyn's face did not diminish. She snapped sharply, "Why? Of course that is because Xenophilius is rich. You're playing the martyr so that he would pity you. In doing so, you can get some benefits from him."
"Mrs. Lambert, please mind your words. No matter how poor and broke I am, I will never ask for Xenophilius's mercy and charity. If I really want it, I would take back the 15% of Lambert family's shares from him." Vivianna sounded loud and clear.
Upon hearing that, Jessamyn's eyes widened, "You're still thinking of claiming that 15% of shares?" "Of course I am, it belonged to me originally. Back then, you guys plotted against me and took it away from me. Is there anything wrong with wanting back what's mine?" Vivianna said frostily.
Jessamyn sneered as if she had heard a joke, "Vivianna, the divorce agreement clearly stated that you were willing to give up the 15% shares and handed it over to Xenophilius. Now you want it back? In your dreams!"
Although Vivianna felt uncomfortable as if her heart was stabbed by needles, she raised her head and replied wittingly, "We still have a long way to go. Who knows if I have such ability?"
"So you didn't plan the meeting at the hotel on purpose?" Jessamyn narrowed her eyes and asked.
Vivianna understood that Jessamyn wanted to get some sort of reassurance from her response, so she said icily, "If there's nothing important, I'll get back to work."
Jessamyn noticed that she was being vague in her response, so she stopped her instantaneously, "Tell me clearly. Did you purposely meet Xenophilius in the restaurant?"
"So what if I did? What if I did not? I'm free to do whatever I desire." Vivianna didn't want her to have a good time. After that, she opened the door and left.
Jessamyn was so enraged that she bit her red lip, looking broody. If she thought about it carefully, there was an answer in Vivianna's words. However, Jessamyn did not dare to relax, because Xenophilius had started to show compassion for her.
Vivianna was like a bomb that would explode at any time beside Xenophilius. Just like she did in the past, attcking Xenophilius at anytime. Jessamyn dared not to be careless.
Moreover, there were some things that only Jessamyn knew. She thought that Xenophilius would love her for the rest of his life. However, what she'd realized during those four years was that Xenophilius did not love her as much as she thought.
Jessamyn pushed the door open and walked out of the conference room. She didn't want to pick on Vivianna anymore. She was going shopping to buy some new clothes. As long as she dressed herself up, Xenophilius would not look at other women.
She wanted to touch up her makeup, so she went inside the washroom with her purse. She entered a compartment and sat inside.
At that time, several female staff members filed in and started chatting.
"Have you heard? Designer Carlewood came to work by a sports car worth tens of millions of dollars in the morning." "I knew! We've already guessed who that person was."
A girl who had just arrived asked puzzledly, "Who is it?"
"That's Augustine, the male owner of the majestic building across us. The president of Giltstone Enterprise!"
"Do you think that she is dating Augustine? If they are, don't you think that there's no need for her to be working here?"
"Women must be independent. Even if her boyfriend is the richest man in the world, it does not mean that she has to be an idling rich wife? I really admire Designer Carlewood."
"She's too powerful. She's a mother of a child, but she managed to catch Augustine's attention."
Several girls were talking in the toilet. After a while, they left again.
In one of the compartments, there was a shocked silhouette. Jessamyn sat on the toiler bowl in shock and disbelief.
"What? Vivianna is a single mother? Augustine is courting her?"
Jessamyn always got hold of the rich, how could she not know Augustine? It was said that that man was ruthless and decisive. Four years ago, he was only a young master of Giltstone family. There was rumours that there was an inner war on the inheritance of Giltstone family. In the end, Augustine won against his two uncles and steadily nabbed the position as the president of Giltstone Enterprise. In three years, his market value had reached the top worldwide.
That man was actually courting Vivianna Carlewood? Jessamyn remembered at the entrance of the cafe the other day, she was picked up by a ten-million-dollar car. She thought, 'Was that true?'
'Wait, Vivianna had a child?' Jessamyn got too much information in one go, making it hard for her to digest. 'Where did Vivianna get a child? How old was the child?'
Jessamyn came out of the bathroom. She thought that she would find out if she inquired the front desk.
She put away her pride and walked to the front desk. The front desk lady greeted her right away, thinking that she was about to leave. She noticed Jessamyn smiling curiously at her, "I heard that Vivianna is a single mother. Is that true? She does not look like a mother!" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Yes! It's true. Ms. Carlewood is only 24 years old, but she has a three years old child." The receptionist was a busybody. Furthermore, Jessamyn was a noble woman, she felt honored to be able to talk to her. There's no reason not to go all out on that.
A flash of surprise shot across Jessamyn's eyes. The kid was already three years old? Where did Vivianna get a three-year-old child? "A boy or a girl!"
"It's a handsome little boy. The child is very beautiful! He's the most handsome and the most good- looking child I've ever seen."
When Jessamyn heard that, she couldn't take in anymore. She sneered, turned her head and left.
After coming out of the company, Jessamyn jeered, 'Did Vivianna get pregnant by a man after she went abroad three years ago? I must tell Xenophilius about that and let him know how filthy Vivianna was.'
At noon, Vivianna was busy designing a new order when her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number. She picked it up and greeted, "Hello!"
"Mommy, it's me!" Zeph's voice came from the other end of the line.
Vivianna frowned, "Zeph, whose phone is this?"
"It's daddy's!" Zeph said naturally.
