As a reward for Vivian, House of Steven will host a banquet over the weekend.

This is Vivian's first hosting as "Mrs. Steven" and will play a crucial role in solidifying her position at House of Steven.

Early in the morning, Vivian began directing butlers and servants to make all kinds of preparations.

Raymond didn't have many guests, but they were all influential figures in the business world, which gave Vivian a lot of face.

Vivian, of course, appreciated it and was picking out appropriate clothes in her bedroom at the moment.

With disheveled hair, she was wearing purple silk pajamas and her little white feet on the wooden floor, walking leisurely towards the cloakroom.

With a whoosh, it was filled with a profusion of clothes and jewelry.

It has to be said that Raymond has never treated her unfairly in terms of material possessions. However, Vivian has at least lived a life of luxury since childhood. These luxury items that would make ordinary women scream with excitement only attracted one ten-thousandth of her attention.

When Raymond came in, he saw Vivian combing her hair in the sunlight, and her delicate skin was made even fairer and more transparent.

Today Vivian was dressed in a bright red strapless dress, a black leather belt around her waist, and sheer gauze on her lower body, revealing her long and beautiful legs.

This outfit added a touch of charm and a touch of coldness.

Even Raymond couldn't help nodding slightly, his deep eyes filled with admiration.

Vivian was standing in front of the mirror, pulling the chain back with her hands, trying many times but still not pulling it up.

He lifted his leg towards her, moved her little hand away, and then zipped her up.

As he pulled up the zipper, his calloused fingertips rubbed against her smooth, white back a little, and the scorching heat couldn't help but make Vivian blush.

"Thank you." "Vivian raised her eyes and said.

"Um." Raymond's deep eyes paused over her and then moved away without a trace.

Half of the wardrobe was Raymond's, all suits.

He picked out a black suit and, as he bent down to get Vivian's matching tie from the drawer, glanced casually and seemed to see something.

"What's wrong?"

Vivian suddenly thought of the spray bottle she had hidden in the closet and felt a little nervous.

"Tie it for me."

Raymond straightened up without showing any emotion and told Vivian.

Vivian, like a virtuous wife, stood on tiptoe to tie Raymond's tie and also helped him straighten his collar.

The butler, who had pushed the door open to announce the harmonious scene, couldn't help but show a look of relief.

His young master may finally find his own happiness...

"Butler, what's the matter?" Before the butler could finish sighing, Vivian, upon noticing his presence, took a few subtle steps back to distance herself from Raymond.

The butler was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully, "Madam, there are already guests."

"Raymond, let's go down."

"Yeah."

There were already many guests in the banquet hall, and Vivian took Raymond's hand to greet them one by one.

When the time was up, Raymond signaled Vivian that she could begin her speech, but she shook her head in refusal.

Because the people from House of Johnson haven't arrived yet.

Since they were all expecting to see her show back then, she would be even more disappointed if she didn't see their disappointed look today.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Sophia and Nicole arrived late.

Nicole, dressed in a light blue lace halter dress, made her look gentle and sweet, and affectionately linked her arm with Sophia.

As soon as she entered the door, she gave Vivian a friendly smile, as if they were truly deep and affectionate sisters.

But Nicole was accompanied by another person - Gavin.

Vivian didn't expect Gavin to still dare to show up in front of her. A trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and the pairing of her good sister and "ex-boyfriend" really made her look at him with great respect!

She calmly gave Nicole a warning look. On this occasion, if Nicole dared to cause trouble, don't blame her for disregarding House of Johnson's face.

Nicole, thinking she was scared, laughed brighter and pulled Gavin up to Vivian and Raymond.

"Vivian, I miss you so much in such a long time."

Nicole pouted, but didn't dare to touch Vivian.

She was rather indignant to see Vivian looking good and apparently having a pleasant new marriage.

"By the way, Mr.Raymond, this is Vivian's ex-boyfriend. I happened to run into him on the way here. He was very concerned about how well Vivian was doing now, so he came along. I suppose Vivian and Mr.Raymond wouldn't mind, would they?"

Nicole pushed Gavin in front of her and introduced him to Raymond, smiling innocently as if she didn't know what good thing she had done.

Gavin himself was good-looking, handsome and kind, and was only a little shorter than Raymond.

Compared to Raymond, he's a great man.

Raymond's cold eyes swept over the two of them, his expression showing indifference and estrangement, with no intention of speaking.

He gave the battlefield to Vivian.

Vivian looked unhappy and was already burning with anger, but did not let go of her smile.

With so many guests present, she had to maintain Mrs. Steven's grace and chuckled:

"Just irrelevant people, since you're here, have a taste of House of Steven's snacks."

Vivian said it in a casual tone, but Nicole acted as if the sky were falling.

"Your sister's words are a bit too much. At least Gavin has a deep affection for you. Even though you have a Mr.Raymond now, you can't trample on Gavin's true heart at will."

There was a touch of sadness in Gavin's eyes as he looked at Vivian.

Vivian raised an eyebrow and sneered:

"Oh? So you mean you want me to keep getting entangled with other men and give Mr.Raymond a green hat? It seems that Raymond's reputation doesn't work that well. Or perhaps Nicole is so stupid that it's unbearable to look at.

Nicole hurriedly waved her hand, looking frightened and looking at Raymond with a look of fear.

"Vivian, you can't say that, I have good intentions..."

"Nicole, go and get some snacks with Gavin first. Your sister will surely catch up with Gavin when she has time. How could it be your turn to interfere?"

Sophia said to Nicole reproachfully that it was Nicole's own initiative and that she would have stopped her if she had known about it earlier.

But... Sophia turned again and smiled at Vivian with a kind look, looking at her with a meaningful expression.

"But... But...

Nicole frowned and pulled her mother's sleeve pitifully, her tone somewhat resentful.

Before coming, she had imagined many times that Vivian couldn't hold her head up under her and Gavin's suppression, but now she was reversing the truth. How could she swallow her breath? !

"Hurry up!"

This time Sophia was really angry and glared at Nicole.

"Well... I won't disturb my sister and Mr.Raymond."

Nicole twisted her pretty face, a trace of malice flashed in her eyes, and reluctantly pulled Gavin away.

"Vivian, Nicole is not as sensible as you. Give her a little more."

Sophia, with a kind look on her face, tried to cover up what had just happened nonchalantly.

"I'm afraid Mr. John is already looking for a marriage partner for her? If you keep going like this, huh..."

Vivian smiled faintly, with a hint of mockery in her tone.

Sophia's smile froze for a moment, her phoenix eyes curved, and she took Vivian's hand and tried to please her:

"Seeing how happy you are at House of Steven, your father and I are relieved."
