Like a considerate and gentle husband, Bill, along with Vivian, drove Julie back to the Smith mansion.

Along the way, he didn't even once blame Julie for misunderstanding him. On the contrary, he spoke generously, trying his best not to complicate things further.

Even Vivian seemed to act unusually sweet, following her father's Lead. She knew that right now, not saying anything reckless would be the best thing to do.

But when Julie finally got off the car, Vivian said in an almost sobbing tone, “Mom, how can you abandon me?"

These words touched the softest part of Julie's heart, making it ache a lot.

However, Julie could just apologize to Vivian.

She was aware that Vivian was innocent and that she would only be a victim if the divorce really happened.

At this time, Maria accompanied Julie into the house of the Smith family, while Bill and Vivian drove away.

“Dad! This is such a crisis! What's going to happen to us?"

On the way back to the hotel, Vivian's face darkened, not able to contain her emotions anymore.

Bill also pulled a Long face. He didn't expect that things would end up like this.

He gritted his teeth and said, “I don't know what's wrong with your mother! How could she suddenly ask for a divorce? This is ridiculous. We've been married for 2@ years, and I've been very patient all this time!"

Bill seemed to be talking not just his marriage with Julie. At the same time, Vivian understood what her father meant even without asking. After 20 years, her mother finally reconciled with her family.

Now, Julie was once again a legitimate heir of the Smith family. When Vivian realized that she was about to lose the right to have a share of her grandfather's wealth, she fumed in anger and wanted to curse out loud.

"This is not normal. It's unthinkable that this will happen without any warning! Why will Mom investigate you and Aunt Patricia out of nowhere? She even hired a hacker from Heaven! I believe there's someone else behind this!" Vivian shouted resentfully.

“Ha! Whoever that person is will pay. I didn't endure twenty years of my life just to waste it like this!" Bill said in a deep and threatening voice.

Fortunately for him, he was somehow prepared in case unforeseen situations like this arose. Patricia didn’t mind transferring the company's shares to Vivian's name in order to not get caught.

For now, the two continued to carefully rack their brains, looking at every angle on how this had happened.

Then, Vivian suddenly asked, “Is it possible that Maria has something to do with this? Dad, you also noticed how she is getting closer and closer to Mom recently. In fact, when Mom brought up the divorce earlier, she even proposed to live with Maria!"

Bill was stunned at this realization, but he soon shook his head with a dismissive expression.

“That's such a Long shot. A country girl like her? Even if she has the ambition to get a share of the wealth of the Smith family, I'm afraid she doesn't have shrewdness to think and plan something so elaborate!" Vivian nodded happily although her guess was ruled out.

She was convinced by her father's words.

Maria couldn't be so clever, that she believed.

“This time, we managed to evade a total crisis, but I can't guarantee that this will be the Last time it happens. Vivian, we have to be more careful from now on," Bill said in a Low and wary voice.
