Before they returned, Benedict asked her if she had thought it through about going home. If she really did not want to see them, he would work something out regarding the problem with the shares.
But it wasn't like she didn't know how difficult this problem would be. If it was not handled properly, Benedict's position within Morrison Group would be seriously threatened.
Over the years, Benedict has fulfilled the role of an older brother to the best of his ability. He had even spoiled Larry like he was his own son. But now that he's in trouble, how could I turn a blind eye?
It's been five years. She had been away long enough. To begin with, it wasn't her fault. She did not wrong anyone, so her conscience was clear.
Furthermore, these five years had turned her into a strong and independent woman. She was no longer the 'Vivian Williams' who had to escape the country with Benedict. She now proudly went by her new identity, Vivian Morrison.
She glanced down at her son. Her heart softened for a moment, and then quickly hardening again in determination. She was now a mother. Nobody would ever harm me and my child again!
"Mom, look at him!" Larry shouted, pointing excitedly at the screen opposite the airport.
Vivian turned to look at where he was pointing. Momentarily startled, she laughed bitterly to herself. Why does this have to be her first encounter with him upon landing?ls this some twisted fate between both of us?
The screen broadcasted Finnick being interviewed by reporters.
He didn't look much different compared to five years ago. He was still handsome and exuded the charm of a mature man with every gesture. With that look of his, girls were frantically nudging their friends and pointing at the screen.
"Wow, he's so handsome! I wonder if he's married?"
"You might not know this. He is a famous icon in our city. Mature and stable, excelling in his career, and looking like a movie star too. This is what a successful man looks like," said one of the girls to her companion. "You've skip a trip to our city back then, and now look at how many hot guys you've missed. Are you regretting now?"
