Chapter 263

No sooner had Cathy finished speaking than Richard shot her a frosty look. “If you keep your mouth shut, no one will mistake you for a mute.”

Cecilia’s and Nathan’s faces darkened as well, but out of respect for Vivienne’s first visit, they chose to keep their opinions to themselves.

After all, they had the old man to handle the situation.

He alone could command the room.

Catching their icy glances, Cathy raised an eyebrow. “Why are you all looking at me like that? Is this bracelet worth more than that gemstone?”

She turned her gaze towards Vivienne, assuming an air of superiority. “Vivienne, no offense, but you secretly kept the stone you won from the gemstone auction. I heard that you used Percival’s money for it. It’s a beautiful gemstone, so why didn’t you show it to your grandfather? That’s quite selfish of you.”

Vivienne looked up at her, took a sip of her tea, and nonchalantly asked, “Who told you I used Mr. Ellington’s money?”

Cathy paused for a moment and then frowned. “Are you lying? Everyone saw Percival pay for it. What? You don’t want to give the stone to the Ellington family, so you’re making excuses that the money wasn’t Percival’s? Then who paid for the gemstone, you?”

Before Vivienne could respond, Cathy sneered. “I don’t mean to insult

you, but you should know your place. You grew up in a small town, so you’ve never seen such a large sum, let alone 30 million.”

“30 million, huh?” Vivienne leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs. “That’s a whole lot of money.”

She turned her gaze to Percival as a playful smirk appeared on her face. “Percival, how many bills make up 30 million?”

Percival grinned and answered in an indulgent tone. “Quite a lot, I suppose. I’ve never counted. Would you like to, Vivienne?”

Vivienne’s eyes crinkled in amusement. “No, I’m just a small–town girl. I haven’t seen much of the world.”
