Chapter 73: Shut Up!
Samuel had no idea that Nancy replaced Vivian in the arranged marriage.
Besides, Samuel wasn’t a stranger. He had lived with Vivian for more than a decade as her stepfather. Others might not be able to see that this Vivian was a fake, but he surely could see it!
Lily reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She jumped up in surprise, “What? That’s not necessary, right? Didn’t you say Vivian has a fever? Just let her rest. There’s no need to bother her.”
Samuel nodded in agreement, voicing his concern, “Yeah, Mr. Firth, Vivian is unwell. It might be inconvenient. Let her rest. We’re fine standing here
Lily quickly agreed, dropping her mother–in–law’s intimidating demeanor. She smiled awkwardly,” Yes, we’re fine standing here.”
Charlie waved at Maid Heather. She quickly understood it and sat back down.
Seeing Charlie’s reaction, Samuel knew that Charlie didn’t want this issue to become too ugly. In annoyance, he suddenly turned and threw a harsh slap on Lily’s face.
With a loud smack, Lily was stunned. Normally, when Samuel hit her, it would be behind shut doors. But at this moment, he dared to do it right in front of Charlie…
How could she face Charlie after that?
“Samuel, you…
“Shut up!”
Samuel gave her a glare. He then turned to dharlie and bent respectfully, “Mr. Firth, my wife was too impulsive and mistreated Vivian. I’ve already punished her at home. And we’re here to apologize. For the sake of Vivian, please forgive her this time.”
Afterwards, he turned his head and glared at Lily again.
Lily was full of grievances, but she could only apologize to Charlie, “Mr. Firth, I was indeed too. impulsive. I shouldn’t have hurt Vivian. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
“That’s a good attitude.”
Charlie gave a consented smirk, tapping his fingers lightly on his lap, “Vivian told me that she really liked the villa at Peace Lake owned by the Mirren family…”
As soon as Samuel heard that, he understood what Charlie meant.
“Mr. Firth, the villa at Peace Lake has been idle as we aren’t using it. If Vivian likes it, she can have
it!
Lily had a premonition.
The villa at Peace Lake? Wasn’t that where she was secretly hiding Noah?
How did Nancy know about it?
Chapter 73: Shut Up!
She quickly grabbed Samuel’s hand, “Samuel, no, you can’t…”
“Shut your
mouth!”
Samuel indignantly shook off her hand, “Why didn’t you tell me that Vivian likes it? Since she wants it, it’s hers.”
Lily knew that Samuel would be willing to give it to Vivian. But it wasn’t Vivian who wanted the villa. It was Nancy!
What was worse, Noah was living there. What if…what if it was found by Charlie? They would be doomed then!
Samuel didn’t care at all about Lily. He smiled obsequiously at Charlie, “Mr. Firth, you can take Vivian to change the ownership tomorrow morning. It’s Vivian’s.”
“There is no need to wait until tomorrow.”
Charlie casually adjusted his suit collar and elegantly rose to his feet, “We can go to the villa right now. Clean it, and directly give it to Vivian tomorrow.”
