Chapter 57

Arabella’s face suddenly flushed. She bit her lips tightly, “Sis, what are you talking about? What drug? I don’t get it.”

Even though that incident caused quite a stir at the time, the Hawthorn family managed to keep a lid on it. Plus, the news about her drugging someone never made the headlines!

Though it was still a hot topic for gossip, it didn’t really affect her.

Vivienne just brought it up in public.

“You should count your lucky stars that you’re Mr. Hawthorn’s adopted daughter, not Beatrice’s.” Vivienne raised her eyes, radiating a chilliness from head to toe.

If it weren’t for Arabella being Dorian’s adopted daughter, Vivienne, a popular talent in

Havenwood, would have been the town’s talk.

“I really don’t know what you’re talking about, sis. Did I offend you somehow and make you angry?” Arabella’s eyes welled up with tears. She looked so fragile and helpless that it tugged at people’s heartstrings.

Vivienne didn’t even bother to spare her another glance. “Whether you truly don’t understand or are just playing dumb. Stop bothering me. And don’t even think about comparing your shallow knowledge to mine, because you’re not even on my level.”

Vivienne turned to leave, but after a few steps, she abruptly stopped. “Since you’re studying medicine, I suggest you get your head checked. What I said yesterday was that I’m going to teach at Cloudcrest High School!”

“What?” Arabella was so shocked that she couldn’t even pretend anymore, almost popping her eyes out. “A teacher?”

Was this a joke?

She thought Vivienne was just joking around yesterday!

Even now, she believed this was a joke!

Vivienne didn’t reply. Charlotte, who was standing nearby, couldn’t wait to step up. She held Vivienne’s arm and said cheerfully, “Ms. Vivienne, why don’t we go eat outside? There’s an annoying fly in the cafeteria today. Eating here might upset our stomachs.”

Without even glancing at Arabella, Charlotte continued, “There’s a buffet restaurant outside the school. They have a variety of delicious food, especially their cakes. They’re scrumptious. It’s not crowded at this hour, so no one will fight us for the food.”

“Cake!” Vivienne’s eyes lit up, “Let’s go!”

She badly needed a piece of cake to sweeten her sour mood!
