Chapter 741: Someone Has Started to Notice Hayden

The woman cried bitterly, tears rolling down her cheeks in large drops. Victor felt a pang in his chest and was just about to comfort her when he heard Vivienne's subsequent words, which made his face suddenly darken. "Vivienne, are you blaming me by saying that?"

Vivienne realized she had misspoken.

"No. How could I blame you? I know you did it for the Bailey family. It's just that I feel sorry for Kelly. They are all your daughters, yet she has to endure being ridiculed behind her back. You don't know what those ladies say about her at the parties."

Vivienne was indeed the woman he had loved for many years. Seeing her cry more fiercely, Victor sighed, "Enough. I know you and your daughter have had a hard time these years. But forget about the Langdon family; I've already arranged a man for Kelly. He is Hayden Cohen from the Ashbury Cohen family. He is quite a catch and capable too. In time, I will arrange for Kelly to meet him."

"Hayden Cohen?" Vivienne had heard of the Ashbury Cohen family. Among the top ten families, although they were not as prominent as the Farrell family or the now declined Reed family, they were still a distinguished family, far out of reach for many lesser houses. It was said their son always accompanied Jared Farrell, and the two families were particularly close.

But what good does that closeness do? Hayden, although the heir, couldn't even compare to Jared; how could he match the heir of the Langdon family?

Vivienne's emotions churned relentlessly, yet her face showed little. Looking into Victor's eyes with surprise, she asked, "Why the Cohen family? If not the Langdon family, there are other families. Or even the Farrell family..."

Victor held her in his arms, patiently explaining, "Forget about the 'hidden' families. The Farrell family's son is already married. Hayden Cohen is the most promising of the young men in Ashbury right now. That's settled then. Go back and inform Kelly, let her prepare mentally."

Towards the end, Victor's tone carried an indisputable firmness. If possible, he would have preferred Kelly to marry the Langdon family's son. But as Ella Bailey said yesterday, harsh as it was, it wasn't without reason. A bastard daughter, not even worthy as a mistress in the eyes of the haughty Langdon family!
