"Yes, Vivian. I'll always have your back.” Clenching her fist, Sarah uttered with determination.
Vivian was amused by Sarah's serious expression and pulled her back to her seat.
"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Norton?" Vivian heard Shannon say in a sarcastic tone as soon as she sat down.
When or how did I offend Shannon? Why is she always mocking and making fun of me when gossip arises?
Vivian ignored Shannon and pretended not to hear a single word.
"That's incorrect. You're still Mrs. Norton now, however, we don't know what will happen after a while." Seeing Vivian remained silent, Shannon continued to sneer arrogantly, "That's true. Since his real lover has returned, there wouldn't be any place for you anymore. I think that you have to give up your title of Mrs. Norton very soon."
"What do you mean by that?" Vivian couldn't hold back her anger anymore as she stood up and confronted Shannon.
After seeing Vivian becoming infuriated, Shannon continued to mock, "Tch, Vivian, you're still dreaming. Finnick's first love has returned and she is gorgeous as always, do you think Finnick would still want you?"
Sasha felt relief at the thought of Vivian being abandoned. What makes Vivian so special that she was able to hook up with the president ofFinnor Group?Hmph, it's about time for your downfall after so much time in the spotlight.Since Evelyn has returned, I don't believe Finnick would still want you!
"You!" Despite her desire to retaliate, Vivian was not sure how she should respond. Her mind went back to what Benedict once told her in the hospital, talking about how a man's first love would always have a special place in their heart.
After seeing that Vivian remained speechless, Shannon rolled her eyes and slowly went back to her seat.
"Some people are just too delusional after getting a short moment of recognition."
"Pfft!" After hearing Shannon's words, several colleagues couldn't help but laugh out loud while they gloated and looked at Vivian. Even the few people who once supported Vivian looked at her with sympathy, as if they were sure that she would be abandoned by Finnick.
Vivian couldn't endure the strange looks at work anymore, so she picked up her bag and left the office without greeting Fabian.
Since Vivian hadn't seen her mother for a long time and she needed her comfort as well, she went to Rachel's apartment after she left the magazine.
Within seconds of reaching the door, Vivian could hear Rachel's laughter.
