Chapter 98

Percival had been silently grinning like a Cheshire cat on the side. He knew Vivienne was provoking Arabella for fun, but he was secretly enjoying it. Why? It felt like Vivienne was treating him as her rock, and that gave him a reason to keep going

“You!” Arabella snapped. “You’re shameless!”

“Humph!” Vivienne scoffed as she strutted up close and personal to Arabella. Her smirk instantly faded. “You know why I haven’t done anything to you?”

Arabella glared at her, refusing to respond.

“I warned you to keep your hands off Dorian and Cordelia. If you dare, you’ll face the consequences, and you’ll be the one apologizing to me.” Vivienne smirked again. “Do you think Beatrice would abandon the Hawthorn family for you?”

Arabella trembled. She was unable to answer. She knew Beatrice wouldn’t bail on the Hawthorn family for her.

Vivienne shot her a dismissive look and then glanced at the others who had been insulting her. She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

“Lysander, there are students openly insulting a teacher. We’re at the school entrance. Could you please handle this?”

Upon hearing this, the students turned pale.

“How shameless! Why involve the principal in kids’ stuff?”

Vivienne chuckled as she squinted her eyes with mirth. She patted the complaining student’s shoulder. “Kid, you’re a child; I’m a teacher. You might not know me, but Class Eighteen does. I’m a big fan of tattling.”

Class Eighteen students nodded in agreement.

The other students fell silent.
