Chapter 77 

But Vivian overestimated herself, Wishful thinking had made her paint too rosy a picture of reality. Scars might fade, but the pain stayed with her. Even healed wounds couldn’t mase the past

Vivian let out a cold laugh, her gaze brimming with biting sarcasm as it fixed on the female classmate. “Don’t you have a phone? Or have you been living under a rock? How could you not know the Quinn family went bankrupt?” 

The woman thought she could take the chance to humiliate Vivian, but to her shock, she ended up being the one humiliated instead 

Alright. We’re all classmates here, so let’s not dwell on that. How about we catch up! What has everyone been up to these past few years?someone suggested 

When it came to Vivian, Bella raised her voice and said, “Vivian! I know all about her. She works at some noname company, barely making four to a fex 

hundred dollars a month 

It’s so embarrassing. And those clothes? Please, they’re obviously knockoffs just to keep up appearances.” 

Vivian didn’t bat an eye. She just shrugged and said with a faint smile, Yeah, that’s right. So honestly, there’s no need for you to be jealous of me 

Bella snapped, Vivian, as if I’d ever be jealous of you.” 

Can’t she tell she’s being mocked? Didn’t she catch that?Bella wondered

Seriously, Bella, why else would you dig so deep into my life and blurt it all out? Isn’t it just because you’re green with envy seeing me doing well pulling in a few hundred dollars a month?Vivian mocked

Bella sputtered, stunned, and wondered, When did Vivian get so sharptongued?” 

Vivian, is that you?The bartender came over with drinks and, spotting Vivian, greeted her warmly

Before Vivian could respond, the waitress continued, Wvian, I haven’t seen you at work lately. The manager said you quit. Did you really leave? The hourly rate’s gone up now. Want to come back and work with us again!” 

Hearing this, the whole group shot Vivian disdainful looks. So this’s the kind of place she used to work, they wondered

Marcy smirked triumphantly. She’d already spotted Vivian working here last time, and just now, while in the restroom, she’d casually dropped a hint to the waitress. The girl picked up on it right awayguess that tip is avell spent, she wondered 

Vivian ignored the way everyone was looking at her, though deep down, she still felt a twinge and the urge to escape reality

During this time, working alongside Anya and with Sienna’s guidance, Vivian had grown in both mind and experience. She was no longer the timid, peoplepleasing girl she once was

Vivian smiled faintly, Really? That’s great. But my day job keeps me pretty busy now, so I don’t have time for side gigs in the evenings anymore. Thanks for remembering me. Keep working hard I hope you can go hometown soon

The waitress’s pupils dilated sharply as her guilt deepened. She and Vivian had been quite close when they worked together. Vivian was always kind to 

everyone

She was an out of towner who came here just to make money, hoping to one day settle down back in her hometown. Over the years, by pinching every penny and juggling multiple jobs, she had managed to save over 60 thousand dollars

She dreamed of saving up 100 thousand dollars before returning to her hometown to live with her grandparents. She didn’t expect that Vivian still remembered it 

But for a mere seventy dollar tip, she’d gone along with their little schema

Chapter 77 

She couldn’t bear to stay any longer, yet she knew she couldn’t mention the lips. As just an ordinary worker, angle complaint from a customer could cost her this job

She respectfully set a glass of strawberry apple juice in front of Vivian, offering a pratefulumile. 17 do my best, just as you said. Thank you” 

Vivian’s eyes held only serene confidence, showing nothingelse. Her poise made those who had sneered earlier feel ashamed, thele gazes droppi 

With quiet satisfaction, Siema observed the scene from upstairs

Miss Enna, Miss Sinclair is right over there,Lana approached and reported 

Sienna nodded, then tumed and headed that way, Have someone keep a close eye on Vivian,she instructed. “Don’t let anything happen to her 

At the bar, a woman in a sleek black dress was leaning over the counter

Her elegantly coiled hair gave her the timeless grace of a classic beauty from another era, her features dignified and naturally graceful, arth an air of quiet strength in her expression 

A few eager men nearby were about to approach, but Sienna, dressed in a black overcoat and exuding such an intimidating aura, made them all instinctively keep their distance 

Recognizing Sienna’s intimidating presence, the men thought better of it. Swallowing their bravado, they exchanged a few awkward jokes and quickly 

dispersed 

Nora?Sienna’s voice was gentle, tinged with nostalgia, as she reached out to softly brush a stray lock of hair from Nora’s face

it was as if Nora heard a familiar voice. Still halldrunk and dazed, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Sienna standing before her. No, this was Senna

all grown up 

Thinking she must be dreaming, Nora let out a bitter chuckle and reached out to caress Enna’s face. Enna, all these years, you never once visited my dreams. Now that I’ve fallen so low, you finally decide to show up? Is that it?” 

Sienna opened her mouth, but words failed her 

Enna, you know what? I’ve missed you so much. If I could go back to when we were eighteen, I’d never have said those words to you,” Nora said 

It’s alright.Sienna said, unconcerned. Nora only said for Sienna’s good

A single tear escaped from Nora’s eye, her lashes already rimmed with red from prolonged crying 

Enna, do you forgive me?Nora drained her glass in one gulp, then let out a bitter laugh. Enna, guess what? Ethan cheated on me 

Surprise flickered in Sienna’s eyes before she composed herself When’s the divorce?” 

Nora let out a bitter laugh, her eyes brimming with sorrow. Enna, you always cut straight to the heart of things, so decisive. Divorce? Yes, that’s what i should do. But what if I just can’t let go?” 

Sienna fell silent. Nora went on, her voice thick with emotion, Sienna, I’m twentynine now. I’ve loved him for fifteen years. We’ve been together for fifteen years. Childhood sweethearts, inseparable since we were kids, you know

We even have a lovely little boy. He’s five now. I just want to give him the best. Ethan says that girl reminds him of how I used to be, and now he calls me crazy: Can you believe that? Sienna, I regret not Estening to you

I gave too much, and look at me now. Am I pathetic? Sienna, you’re so beautiful, stunning yet aloof, just as imagined. But you never smile. Your eyes hold frost, and no matter how hard I tried, I could never melt that coldness away.” 

Sienna reached out and gently cradled Nora’s head against her chest You’re the best,she said softly 

Nora sobbed softly in Sienna’s arms, until her cries gradually subsided. Sienna gently brushed aside Nora’s hair, revealing the tear streaked checks of her 

Chapter 77 

Sienna took out a handkerchief, wiped away the trans, then gathered for in her arms and quietly led herd of the

Miss Enna, shall we go to the Sinclair residence or the Preston residence? Lana asked 

Sienna replied, The Creston residence.” 

Understood.Lana turned the car around and drove to the Preston residence

By the time they arrived, it was already nine o’clock, and the mansion was ablaze with lights, Lana pressed the doorbell. A voice came from the intercom

Who is it?” 

The butler looked at Sienna, then noticed the person in her arms. Mrs. Preston?” 

Sienna replied, Tm her friend. She’s had too much to drink.” 

The butler extended his hands respectfully. Please allow me to assist Mrs. Preston,he said

Sienna’s face was stony, the darkness of night making her seem even more forbidding. Tell Ethan to come out,” she
