Chapter 27
Nighttime at Hawthorn Mansion.
The banquet kicked off at eight.
Vivienne and Dorian rocked up at half past seven to Hawthorn’s crib.
The mansion front was jam–packed with luxury cars.
In the hall, Arabella was looking all dolled up in a custom dress, sipping red wine and mingling with the guests. With her chin up and chest out, she wore a confident smile, looking every bit the rightful heiress of the Hawthorn family.
As soon as Vivienne and her crew stepped in, Arabella spotted them. She walked over, wine glass in hand, and greeted them with a warm smile. “Dad, Mom, Vivienne, you made it? Come on in, the guests are almost all here.”
In a very hostess–like tone, she added, “I hope you brought your appetites tonight.”
Dorian frowned, his face looking a tad sour. Was she implying they were poor and couldn’t afford good food on the regular?
Cordelia didn’t look too pleased either, but she kept her mouth shut.
Arabella turned to Vivienne with a smile. “By the way, sis, Mr. Ellington will be joining us tonight.”
Vivienne raised an eyebrow, “So what?”
“Mr. Ellington is really into you. He wasn’t planning on coming, but he changed his mind when he heard you’d be here.” Arabella kept her polite smile, looking like the perfect sweet, well–mannered girl in everyone’s eyes.
Vivienne replied nonchalantly. “Are you
