Chapter 311
“Vivienne, I heard about the incident at your home. My mother, bless her heart, tends to speak her
mind. Sometimes she speaks without even considering the consequences hope you can overlook this
for my sake” Calista stepped forward with an apologetic tone
In front of Percival, the man she couldn’t let go of, no matter how hard she tried, she had to do her
utmost to impress him. She needed to paint herself in the best light
She gestured towards a handbag on display and turned to the attendant “Please wrap this up for
Vivienne It’s my way of apologizing
“You’re asking me to overlook this for your sake? Vivienne looked at her as a smirk played on her lips
Are you that important?
“L” Calista was taken aback by Vivienne’s response Her cool demeanor evaporated, leaving behind a
small and visibly flustered woman.
Mila, after seeing her daughter insulted frowned Vivienne Calista is genuinely trying to apologize, and
you’m throwing it back in her face? What kind of attitude is that?”
Even if Vivienne was recognized by the Brooks family, in Mila’s eyes, she was still a country bumpkin.
She was far beneath their social standing
And so, Mila wished she could personally set Vivienne straight and teach her a lesson in manners
“You are nothing like a lady of the Brooks family I suggest you adjust your attitude, lest you embarrass
Scott Mila’s rebuke was cold and harsh
Is that so? Percival’s icy gaze turned towards them as a shadow spread across his face. Are you

Even if Vivienne wasn’t the rightful heiress of the Brooks family, it wasn’t Mila’s place to scorn her
1. I didn’t mean it like that. “Mila stuttered under Percival’s intense gaze Mr. Ellington, you
misunderstood. I’m just saying Vivienne isn’t suitable for you. She’s punching above her weight”
Percival though known to be a wastrel, was also known to have the backing of Richard Ellington, the
patriarch of the Ellington family
No matter how worthless Percival was considered, Richard’s endorsement was all that mattered
Mila with her ambitions of becoming the matriarch of the Brooks family, was not willing to settle for an
ordinary man for her daughter. The opportunity to align with the powerful Ellington family seemed like a
good prospect
After all, it was Percival who had funded Calista’s research.
While looking down at her, Percival moved to put an arm around Vivienne “Punching above her weight?
“Mr Ellington, don’t take it to heart. My mother was out of line. She’s just overly protective of her
daughter” Calista, fuming inside, forced herself to apologize on behalf of her mother “Vivienne, you
don’t have to feel obliged. This gift is just a way to show my sincerity, nothing more
The bag was worth at least a million dollars. It might not impress the usual socialites, but for Vivienne, it
should be more than enough
What kind of luxury would a country girl like her encounter? Gifting her such an expensive item was a
privilege.
She conveniently forgot about Vivienne’s billion–dollar gemstone bid at the auction and Judith’s
generous 30 million–dollar gift to her
Not to mention Richard’s promise to give Vivienne anything she wanted, even if it cost a hundred
billion.
“It’s quite ugly” Vivienne said while looking at the bag with a blank expression, completely ignoring
Calista’s so–called ‘apology”
Calista was taken aback “What did you say?”
“Are you not only aesthetically challenged but also hearing impaired? Vivienne flicked her hair back.
“You could use that money for a check–up.”
Incensed and humiliated Calista clenched her teeth as her anger bubbled up her throat.
Why was Vivienne so arrogant? It was all because of Percival’s support
She couldn’t understand why Percival preferred Vivienne over her in every aspect, she felt she was no
less than her
“Vivienne, don’t push it too far Calista tried to keep her anger in check while Mila was silently raging
beside her
“Enough” Vivienne glanced at them dismissively and turned to Percival “Let’s go somewhere else.”
“Sure Percival agreed with a smile.
His warm and radiant smile pierced Calista’s heart and occupied her every thought
Before she could react, Percival had already taken Vivienne’s hand and led her away.
“That impudent girl” After watching them enter another luxury store, Mila finally snapped “She thinks
too highly of herself! Just because she’s accepted by the Brooks, she thinks she can show off in front
of us?”
“Mom Calista turned to her grumbling mother as her own frustration also simmered “Why are you
picking fights with Vivienne? It’s like you’re asking for trouble
Percival was there, so they had to keep up the charade They couldn’t let him catch wind of their true

“You’re blaring me now? Didn’t you see how Vivienne was acting? Shes so arrogant! it’s as if she’s
about to step on us” Mila was itated just thinking about it. I don’t know how she got so lucky She’s not
only the heiress of the Brooks family but is also betrothed to the Ellington family heir
Calista felt the same but she couldn’t let it show in front of Percival
“Ainght don’t be angry Seeing that Calista was still upset. Mila patted her on the back and said “Didn’t
you just see a handbag you liked? I’ll buy it for you. Stop thinking about these annoying things
She pointed to the sales assistant and said “Pack up the bag we were looking at earlier. We’re buying it
“I’m sorry, ma’am As Mila was about to swipe her credit card the sales have any stocks left You may
want to try another store”
What?
sistant politely said. “The geritleman who was just here bought everything in the store. We dont
Mila and Calista looked at each other in surprise, as Calista slowly clenched her fista in anger. She had
been eyeing that bag for a long time but couldn’t bring herself to buy it because of its high price
Even though she was the rich heiress of the Pendleton family, she couldn’t just buy everything she
wanted
Yet, Percival casually bought the bag she had been longing for Apparently it was for Vivienne
Calista’s face turned pale with rage.
Vivienne!
