After Divorce: Remarried to a Tycoon with Twin Babies-Chapter 23: Vivian Was Once a Child Prodigy!

Unexpectedly, the person Master Greenshire refused to see was actually Vivian Sinclair.

This really caught Austin Grant by surprise.

Vivian Sinclair stood quietly, saying nothing.

Aaron Shields noticed Vivian was silent and didn’t explain himself either.

This girl, ever since she showcased her talent in middle school and met with these old folks, had kept it hidden from everyone around her.

She said it was because the Sinclairs were strongly against her painting. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Besides, she wanted a space of her own.

And these old folks were afraid of losing her, especially Fiona Rhodes, who was concerned about Vivian being underage back then, so she discreetly tested Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair.

The result was a very intense reaction indeed.

They did not wish for Vivian to become any sort of artist in the future.

They only wanted her to be a qualified socialite heiress.

She didn’t even need to be overly ambitious in learning business skills.

They pampered her, loved her, but valued her potential as the Sinclair heiress.

Becoming an artist heiress might be prestigious, but it also meant she could spread her wings and truly fly beyond their reach and control.

Fiona was very disappointed in the Sinclair Family.

But she couldn’t bear to see a rising art star like Vivian fall.

Hence, she helped Vivian keep this secret all along.

Over the years, they concealed it well.

Apart from these old folks, no one in the world knew that the Sinclair’s fake heiress was the celebrated genius painter W.

Even when someone painstakingly tried to inquire, the answers given were vague and wildly different from Vivian’s real persona.

In the long run, no one would associate W with Vivian Sinclair anymore.

Naturally, Austin Grant wouldn’t either.

"Did you also come here to visit Master Greenshire through your grandmother’s connection?"

Austin Grant quickly figured out this possibility.

He stepped forward, naturally pulling Vivian’s arm to his side.

Then he looked at Aaron Shields: "Hello, Master Greenshire."

"I am Austin Grant, the eldest grandson of the Grant Family."

"I apologize for my wife bothering you under the guise of Mrs. Helen Sullivan. I hope she hasn’t caused you any inconvenience."

Aaron Shields glanced at Vivian, seeing her remain silent without explaining, he simply smiled.

"It’s no problem, I indeed have an old friendship with your grandparents from the Grant Family."

"If President Grant wants to see me, then come on in."

Aaron Shields turned and re-entered the coffee shop.

Only then did Vivian Sinclair pull her arm away.

She looked up at Zoe Monroe and Nicholas Chamberlain, who had followed over, "Since you have business with Master Greenshire, I’ll be on my way."

Austin Grant reached out to stop Vivian.

"Vivian Sinclair, have you had enough?"

"Just because I forgot to take you to the art exhibition today, you want to keep sulking?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his temples in frustration.

"Your behavior just makes me more exhausted."

"Can’t you be more understanding? Like before, knowing your place and behaving properly."

Vivian quietly looked at him, then glanced at Zoe Monroe, who kept stealing glances at her stomach.

"Understanding?"

"How else should I understand?"

"Should I just watch you and Miss Monroe flaunt your relationship without a fuss, play the fool for your amusement, and endure others’ ridicule as Mrs. Grant without any feelings?"

Vivian could no longer suppress her anger and let it spill out.

Then she pushed past Austin Grant blocking her way, striding away.

Zoe Monroe and Nancy Young didn’t dare block her path and quickly stepped aside.

Austin Grant’s face was livid with anger.

Zoe Monroe stepped forward to quietly tug at his hand: "Austin, don’t be mad."

"See? I told you she’s just jealous of me."

"Remember to console her when you get back, for the sake of our child, we can’t let her act recklessly."

Austin Grant laughed coldly: "Jealous? Does she even deserve it?"

"It seems she hasn’t figured out her rightful place yet."

"It’s time to teach her a lesson!"

As he half-turned to look back at the direction where Vivian had already disappeared, the furious Austin Grant felt as if his most sensitive spot had been touched, and he made up his mind.

After all, he needed to correct the mistake of this marriage sooner or later.

Because only Zoe would be the biological mother of his child in the future.

And the future sole mistress of the Grant Family.

So, giving Vivian a strong warning in advance wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

Let her understand that only by knowing her place and being sensible, could she have a way out in the future...

Ultimately, Austin Grant didn’t chase after Vivian and instead stepped into the coffee shop.

Zoe Monroe and Nicholas Chamberlain were about to follow him in, but were stopped by Aaron Shields’s assistant.

"Sorry, anyone besides President Grant is not allowed inside."

Zoe Monroe’s face instantly turned a bit awkward.

Extras?

How was she an extra?

Vivian Sinclair could enter, why couldn’t she?

Turning around, Zoe Monroe’s face twisted with jealousy.

Everything that belonged to Young Madam Grant would eventually be hers!

Vivian Sinclair drove home.

Old Madam Grant was planning to ask her how the date with Austin went, but she didn’t see Austin returning with her.

"Didn’t the boy say he wanted to visit Master Greenshire with her?"

"Why did only Vivian come back?"

Vivian Sinclair returned to her room and immediately went to sleep.

The baby in her belly was already nearly twelve weeks old.

Vivian now felt extremely sleepy all the time, able to fall asleep anytime she closed her eyes.

When she woke up, Jasmine came to invite her downstairs for dinner.

As soon as Vivian came downstairs, she heard Old Madam Grant furiously talking on the phone: "Is the Grant Family unable to afford a nurse, or is your time as President Grant completely worthless?"

"Fine, then bring her back together!"

"I want to see how this vixen has managed to capture your heart!"

After hanging up the phone, Old Madam Grant noticed Vivian.

The anger on her face quickly faded, and she beckoned Vivian over.

"Vivian, don’t be upset, Grandma has something to tell you."

Vivian looked around, noticing that everyone’s expressions were unpleasant.

"Grandma, what’s wrong?"

"You can tell me, Vivian won’t be angry no matter what."

Old Madam Grant suddenly found herself unable to speak.

Beside her, Gia Grant admired her nails, looking as if she was ready to enjoy the show: "Vivian Sinclair, your good days are over."

"My brother was in a car accident today."

"If it weren’t for Zoe Monroe protecting him, it would be my brother who is hurt right now."

"So, my brother wants to bring Zoe Monroe back to the mansion to take care of her injuries."

"Vivian Sinclair, are you scared now? The person who used to be treasured by my brother is about to live under the same roof as you, what do you have to compete with her?"

Gia’s provocative tone annoyed Old Madam Grant.

"Gia! What kind of attitude is that, talking to your sister-in-law?"

"Also, if you ever call Vivian by her name again in this house, I’ll personally cut off all your pocket money!"

Gia stomped her foot heavily in anger.

"Grandma, keep protecting her then!"

"Viv... Sister-in-law is just pregnant, what’s so great about that!"

After finishing, Gia furiously sat down and stabbed her steak forcefully until it was a mess.

Lillian Rivers quickly approached Old Madam Grant, rubbing her back soothingly: "Mom, don’t get upset."

"Gia is just spoiled."

"I’ll teach her better in the future."

"Gia, did you hear Grandma’s words?"

"From now on, don’t call Vivian’s name, you must call her Sister-in-law!"

Gia looked at her mother as if she was looking at a madwoman, with an incredulous expression.

Even Old Madam Grant showed a look of suspicion.

What’s going on with Lillian Rivers lately?

Acting unusually attentive, she must have an ulterior motive.

Vivian saw that Old Madam Grant seemed aware, so naturally, she wouldn’t mention that Lillian Rivers was privately investigating her elderly properties.

In the Grant Family, she only hoped to leave unscathed in the future.

She was completely indifferent to the matter of Austin Grant bringing Zoe Monroe back.

Since the Grant Family wasn’t concerned with Zoe Monroe’s presence, she, who naturally had nothing, had no right to make a fuss.

"Rest assured, I won’t compete with Miss Monroe."

What doesn’t belong to her was never hers, arguing over useless matters was just laughable.

Vivian Sinclair fought only for one thing, the money that was rightfully hers.

Old Madam Grant’s face slightly darkened upon hearing Vivian’s words.

Could it be that Vivian had already decided to divorce Austin?

After calmly finishing dinner, Vivian accompanied Old Madam Grant to take a walk in the garden.

Mrs. Archer was pushing Old Madam Grant; afraid Vivian would overthink the matter with Zoe Monroe, Old Madam Grant explained why she agreed to bring Monroe to the mansion: "Vivian, Grandma has always supported you, do you understand?"

"But Grandma can also see clearly that Austin is obsessed with this first love, it’s become a knot in his heart over the years."

"He hasn’t figured out his feelings, nor who he truly cares about."

"But Grandma sees clearly."

"The Young Madam of the Grant Family can only be you, only you can ensure the long-lasting future of the Grant Family!"

"Instead of letting him fool around outside with Zoe Monroe, maybe even making even more unrecoverable mistakes in the future, better to keep an eye on them under our noses."

"What do you say?"

"Besides, foolish child, everything is under Grandma’s control; Grandma is waiting for her to come to our Grant Family!"

"I want to see what skills she truly has! Can she overturn the sky under Grandma’s watchful eyes?"

"You just sit tight in your position as Young Madam Grant, take this chance to win Austin’s heart back."

"Even if you try your best and he remains stubborn, that won’t be important! The entire Grant Family in the future is what truly matters!"

Vivian Sinclair naturally understood Old Madam Grant’s hints.

Yet, she was still quite shocked.

A grandmother who could be so candid to her granddaughter-in-law, how rare is that in this world?

Teaching Vivian Sinclair to grasp more tangible things, that is—status.

Simultaneously, Old Madam Grant was conveying a message, which is that the position of the Sinclair Family Head, she only had Vivian Sinclair in mind.

These heartfelt words would be difficult even to say to one’s own blood.

Vivian felt deeply moved in her heart.

But her feelings were limited only to Old Madam Grant; she had long decided to leave the Grant Family, simply wanting to keep her distance.

Only because she feared hurting Old Madam Grant’s feelings, Vivian could only stay silent to deal with it now.

"Grandma, shall I escort you back to rest?"

Though slightly disappointed, Old Madam Grant could only pat Vivian’s hand, not daring to press too hard.

There was still time, she would let her granddaughter-in-law come to realize what truly is reality.

Vivian escorted Old Madam Grant back to her small villa and then left.

Once she had left, Mrs. Archer sighed: "Old Madam, it seems Young Madam still hasn’t given up the idea of divorcing the Young Master."

"You’ve hinted so clearly, does she truly not understand?"

Old Madam Grant: "Even if she doesn’t understand, I must make her understand!"

"Otherwise, why would I have gone to lengths to do that thing back then? If I hadn’t used some tricks, she might not have willingly married into our Grant Family a year ago."
