Montgo family's influence, without Caelan's explanation, Vivienne was well aware of it, and she felt that his words carried a deeper meaning. As expected, Caelan continued, "I am Asher's friend, so there is something I would like to ask you." Pausing for a moment, he stared at Vivienne and asked, "It's obvious to anyone that Asher cares about you, but what about you? What kind of feelings do you have for him?"Being a scion of a prestigious family like Caelan, his greatest skill was to understand people's hearts. Under his gaze, Vivienne felt as if she was being seen through."That's my private matter," she replied, pursing her lips."Is it?" Caelan said with a faint smile. "I just want to remind you that Asher is different from ordinary people. He's not someone you can play around with."Yes, she had always known that he was different from ordinary people! "I have never played with him," Vivienne said, looking directly at Caelan."Do you love him?" Caelan asked after observing Vivien

Asher's injury required him to stay in the hospital for two days, despite his strong reluctance. However, Vivienne insisted on him staying to ensure that his wound was properly taken care of before she could feel at ease.On the second day of Asher's hospitalization, Vivienne encountered the eldest son of the Montgo family, Timothy, Asher's older brother.The word "cold" had been used to describe the Montgo brothers before. If Asher's coldness was a hollow emptiness that made it impossible to find a sense of presence in his eyes, then Timothy's coldness was a chilling indifference that kept people at a distance.Facing such a man, simply standing in front of you, silently watching you, would make you feel a trembling fear.When Timothy, dressed in military uniform, appeared before Vivienne and called her name with his icy voice, she was genuinely stunned. Although she had met Timothy a few times before, they were not familiar with each other. Frankly speaking, Vivienne felt that Timot

"Nothing much, I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow," Vivienne replied, her mind still a bit unsettled. She couldn't understand why she would feel captivated by Asher's smile when she didn't have any feelings for him. "That's good," Julian said. "Since we don't have classes today, why don't you freshen up and take a nap? You stayed up all night with me." "No need, I'm not sleepy yet," Vivienne said, pulling up a chair to sit next to Julian. They started watching a TV series on the computer together. After watching for a while, Vivienne asked, "Does the male lead have a hearing impairment?" "Yeah, it's acquired. Despite coming from a wealthy family, he has always felt insecure because of this defect. Relationships are also more challenging for him than for others," Julian explained. For some reason, Vivienne suddenly thought of Asher. Perhaps it was because both he and the male lead had some kind of physical or mental condition. However, she had never noticed any signs of

"I don't think we have anything to talk about," she said."What if I say we do?" he replied calmly.She stared at him, and he continued, "You have a good friend named Julian. The Four Seas Corporation just hired her, and I believe she may have already received the news."Implied within his words was another meaning: the Four Seas Corporation could also make decisions not to hire."Is this a threat?" Vivienne asked irritably."No," Ezra shook his head lightly. "I just want to have a chance to sit down and have a proper conversation with you."After a moment of contemplation, Vivienne took out her phone and made a call to the manager of the club. Once she secured her time off, she looked up again and asked, "Where should we talk?"Ezra took Vivienne to a restaurant, a place he used to take her to frequently. Vivienne always liked the restaurant's milk tea, the yin-yang milk tea, which was a must-order item for her.This time, Ezra also ordered a yin-yang milk tea for Vivienne.Vivienne

"I'll try my best," she hesitated and said."I want you to promise!" he insisted.She pursed her lips and remained silent because she couldn't give him that kind of promise.His expression turned even colder. "Why aren't you speaking? Does that mean you'll let me lose you again?" Lose you! Lose you! Just the thought of not being able to find her in the future made his blood feel like it was freezing.He was angry, and she could sense it. Perhaps now, all she needed to do was say something untrue to easily appease him, but..."Vivi, is it necessary for me to tie you to my side to ensure I'll never lose you again?" he asked, his voice dark and cold.Her heart trembled, and she took a deep breath. "If you really did that, I wouldn't forgive you."His lips tightened into a straight line, and his eyes stared at her intensely, his face turning pale.His appearance softened her heart in an instant. "I can't guarantee that my phone will always be charged," she hesitated to say.His expression
