Sophia, after all, is an elder. It's not good to pull her hand back for others to see, Vivian said with a slight scalp smile,
"Raymond is very nice to me and I'm very grateful that you have chosen this marriage for me."
Hearing this, Mrs.Johnson's smile deepened a little.
That would be best.
"Raymond has been in business for so many years and knows so many people. How about I ask him to pick a marriage for Nicole too? After all, we are sisters and surely won't let her down."
As she spoke, Vivian pulled her hand back and put it around Raymond's arm, behaving affectionately.
She smiled into Raymond's black eyes.
"Ok."
Raymond cooperated with him rarely.
"No no no!"
Sophia hurriedly refused, with a bit more flustered in her tone.
If Vivian were to find Nicole a husband, who knows how badly she would be cheated by her!
After all, it was a shrewd person who caught the smile in Vivian's eyes, and Sophia calmed down the next second.
How dare this damned girl play tricks on her!
Sophia suppressed her anger and laughed even more.
"Nicole is still young. Let's talk about it in a few years. It's enough that you have this kind of heart. It's important to have House of Steven as soon as possible."
Sophia looked at her and Raymond, deliberately biting the word "branch out" very hard.
This is a disguised way of telling Vivian that her current glory is of no use and that if she can't get pregnant with Raymond's child, perhaps Mrs. Steven's position will be saved in the future.
The two pairs of eyes, both smiling, had a spark that vanished in an instant.
It's time to give a speech.
Raymond couldn't stand Sophia's hypocritical face, nor did he like Vivian's current state. Seeing that it was about time, he reminded.
"Then go ahead and get busy."
"Sophia laughed, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and the coldness flashed in her eyes.
Vivian went on stage to give her opening remarks. Although she was speaking all the time, Raymond kept staring at her and made eye contact from time to time, just like a newlywed couple.
Most of the people present had already confirmed that Vivian was very much to Raymond's liking.
For the rest of the time, Vivian was inseparable from Raymond, chatting with the guests.
Until she felt a bit dizzy, she said to Raymond and headed for the restroom.
Although Gavin was an uninvited guest today, everything went as she had expected.
Now she, Vivian, is no longer seen as the spoiled and overbearing young lady who would lose her temper at any moment.
Thinking of all the years Sophia had spared no effort to make her famous, Vivian curled her lips mockingly.
Marrying Raymond was not what she wanted, but there was still some benefit to it, wasn't there?
Vivian washed her face, looked up and smiled at herself in the mirror, though her face was a little pale, but it did not affect her charm at all.
As soon as she stepped out of the restroom, she saw a man standing in the corridor, his back with a touch of desolation.
Hearing the commotion, the man turned around and had a refined face.
"Vivian, you really let me down." Gavin said with deep sorrow.
Please call me Mrs. Steven.
"Vivian said coldly.
"You... How could you be so cruel as to leave me and marry another man? Do you know how heartbroken I am?"
Gavin stepped forward to grab her shoulder, but she dodged it.
"... Really? Well, I really don't know."
Vivian looked at him coldly.
"You're so heartless... You never really liked me, did you? It seems you're the kind of vain woman who married Raymond for his money, isn't it?"
Gavin's words seemed like an insult to her, but there was not much reproach in his tone, but more regret and sadness.
"I called you before I agreed to marry Raymond, but it was a woman who answered and told me not to disturb you again."
"Vivian said expressionlessly.
It would be a lie to say she doesn't feel heartbroken. The person in front of her is her first love, but she will never forgive anyone who betrays her!
Now Gavin's hypocritical approach to her will only disgust her!
"Well... That's just one of my sisters."
The man looked somewhat evasive.
Who can blame Vivian for not being favored at House of Johnson?
He was with her in the first place because she was, after all, the eldest daughter of House of Johnson, and even if she married him later, she would get a big dowry.
Since she's going to marry someone else, is he still going to waste time on her?
Vivian sneered at his flickering eyes, looked at him coldly, and said disdainfully,
"You could have come to me before I got married. Isn't it too hypocritical to make such excuses now?"
As if she had seen through everything he was thinking, Vivian's bone-chilling eyes blew.
"Your father wouldn't let me see you at all. What could I do..."
Gavin went on with her words, looking extremely aggrieved.
Vivian's heart twitched.
It's such a pity that this man doesn't become an actor!
"... Is it interesting? But what you do now has nothing to do with me. Please don't disturb me again and ruin my happiness."
Since Gavin is brought by Nicole, it surely won't be as simple as having him come to catch up with me.
Having said that, Vivian walked away coldly, not even glancing at Gavin.
Sure enough, as soon as they reached the corner of the corridor, they were seen standing there.
"You're here?" Vivian was very natural. She knew she had done nothing wrong, so she wouldn't feel guilty.
Raymond was dressed in a neat black suit, with one hand casually tucked into his pocket.
A pair of eyes that were not as black as ink swept towards her, and she could sense the coldness in his eyes.
Nicole stood beside Raymond, but dared not get too close.
"Mr.Raymond, don't misunderstand!" Although Vivian herself says she married you because Gavin couldn't get in touch with her in time, I think she's true to you now."
Nicole said with a smile, her lips curved in a forced arc, "explaining" for Vivian.
"Mr.Steven, Vivian and I truly love each other, but in any case her status as Mrs. House of Steven can no longer be changed. I just hope you treat her well!"
Gavin was not the least bit flustered. He looked at Raymond with a very pious gaze, his face full of regret.
"Shut up! Keep talking nonsense and get out right now!"
The veins on Vivian's forehead bulged, and her sharp, sharp-like eyes swept over Gavin's face. She wasn't afraid that Raymond would be misled, but was angry at her past gaze.
She must have been blind to have loved such a despicable man!
Gavin's eyes were filled with sadness and silence.
"Sister, even if you abandoned Gavin because he was not as good as your Mr.Raymond, he came to congratulate you today without any grudges. You really hurt his heart."
Nicole shook her head, her tone filled with regret and grievance.
Then she met Vivian's cold eyes, startled. This abominable woman is even more terrifying after marrying Raymond!
"As long as Vivian is happy, I'm willing to watch her from afar."
Gavin's voice choked with deep sadness and reluctance.
