From Ignored to Adored: The Heiress Melts the Self-Restrained Boss Chapter 70: Vivian Is My Wife, I Won’t Allow Anyone to Sland

Vivian Lynch frowned slightly, just about to say sothing when Caden Hawthorne spoke first, glaring at Yara York: "Yara, shut your mouth. Vivian is my wife, and I will not allow anyone to slander her."

Yara York was so frightened by Caden Hawthorne’s glare that she dared not utter a sound.

Seeing Caden Hawthorne so protective of Vivian Lynch, Yvonne York felt a pang of discomfort in her heart.

"Caden, my sister is young and impulsive and spoke out of turn. I apologize on her behalf to Miss Lynch!"

As she spoke, Yvonne York stepped forward, ca up to Vivian Lynch, and held her hand, saying, "Miss Lynch, could you please, for my sake, not take offense at my sister?"

Vivian Lynch felt extrely uneasy upon hearing this. She instinctively withdrew her hand and forced a smile, "Miss York, you’re overthinking. I haven’t taken your sister’s words to heart."

"That’s good." Hearing this, Yvonne York smiled faintly, but a flash of jealousy passed through her eyes.

At this mont, a sharp voice rang out.

"Oh, didn’t expect it to be so lively today, running into old classmates."

Jessica Hart entered the venue arm-in-arm with Sean Sinclair, smiling but glaring daggers at Vivian Lynch, seemingly wishing to pierce a hole through her.

Vivian Lynch was montarily stunned to see Jessica Hart and Sean Sinclair. Caden Hawthorne frowned, shielding Vivian Lynch behind him and watching them warily.

Jessica Hart saw Caden Hawthorne’s protective gesture and felt even more envious.

She sneered and said, "Vivian Lynch, I didn’t expect you to be doing so well now. But don’t get too complacent; who knows how long your happiness will last?"

Vivian Lynch calmly looked at Jessica Hart and said, "Jessica Hart, it’s been a long ti. I didn’t expect you to still enjoy speaking sour words."

Jessica Hart was infuriated by Vivian Lynch’s words and was about to lash out when Sean Sinclair stopped her. "Jessica, don’t be impulsive. Today is the jewelry competition; let’s not cause trouble."

Jessica Hart reluctantly glared at Vivian Lynch, then said to Sean Sinclair, "Sean, why are you holding back? What’s so special about her, Vivian Lynch? Isn’t she just relying on President Hawthorne for support? Have you forgotten how she betrayed you and hooked up with President Hawthorne?"

Upon hearing this, Sean Sinclair’s expression darkened slightly, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

Seeing Sean Sinclair’s reaction, Jessica Hart secretly felt pleased. She wanted Sean Sinclair to realize that only she truly cared for him.

Vivian Lynch frowned slightly upon hearing Jessica Hart’s words, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. "Jessica Hart, don’t speak nonsense. We have nothing to do with each other anymore, and I’ve never betrayed anyone. It was you who wronged first; why are you playing the victim?"

Yvonne York and Yara York, on the other hand, looked like re onlookers.

"Sis, could Sean Sinclair be Vivian Lynch’s ex-boyfriend?"

Yvonne York shook her head, indicating she didn’t know.

Caden Hawthorne’s expression turned grim. He coldly looked at Jessica Hart and Sean Sinclair, his tone full of warning.

"Jessica Hart, you better watch your mouth. If you continue to defa my wife, I’ll make you wish you were dead."

Jessica Hart felt a twinge of fear at Caden Hawthorne’s imposing manner, subconsciously recalling the previous ti she was kidnapped.

Could it really have been Caden Hawthorne who orchestrated it?

No way, how could Caden Hawthorne be so good to that slut Vivian Lynch?

"President Hawthorne, I’m just stating the facts. Vivian Lynch is no good woman; she..."

"Enough!" Caden Hawthorne interrupted Jessica Hart with a furious shout. "If you dare say another word, I guarantee you’ll regret it."

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly tense, Sean Sinclair quickly pulled Jessica Hart back a few steps. "President Hawthorne, I’m sorry, Jessica didn’t an it. We’ll leave right away and won’t bother you again."

After speaking, Sean Sinclair forcibly took Jessica Hart away despite her resistance.

Yvonne York and Yara York exchanged a glance, feeling sowhat regretful that this farce ended so quickly but not daring to linger any longer, for fear of angering Caden Hawthorne.

Caden Hawthorne turned his head to look at Vivian Lynch, his gaze instantly softening.

"Vivian, are you tired?"

Vivian Lynch shook her head, "Not tired."

She hadn’t expected to encounter so many unpleasant people at this event, but fortunately, Caden Hawthorne was by her side, making her feel incredibly secure.

"Here, sit down for a while and rest so you don’t tire yourself out." Saying this, Caden Hawthorne led Vivian Lynch by the hand to the front row seats.

Vivian Lynch smiled slightly, "Don’t worry about ; go attend to your own matters!"

Caden Hawthorne seed concerned, quickly calling his assistant.

"Assistant Coleman, stay here with Vivian."

"Got it, President Hawthorne." Bryan Coleman nodded and stood by Vivian Lynch’s side.

Sitting behind Vivian Lynch, Yvonne York and Yara York saw this scene, and jealousy instantly flared in their hearts, glaring at her deeply.

"Sis, aren’t you just going to accept this?"

Yvonne York sighed, "What can I do if I’m not willing?"

"What if the child in Vivian Lynch’s belly is gone?" A calculating gleam flashed in Yara York’s eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yvonne York imdiately beca tense. "What are you planning?"

"Sis, didn’t you notice that Jessica Hart also hates Vivian Lynch like we do? We just need to..."

Yara York leaned in and whispered sothing to Yvonne York.

After hearing Yara York’s plan, a gleam of light flashed in Yvonne York’s eyes, "Will this really work?"

"Sis, don’t worry! Caden won’t suspect us." Yara York smiled smugly.

Yvonne York said nothing, tacitly approving Yara York’s approach.

At this ti, the jewelry competition was about to start, and the host took to the stage to announce the official comncent of the competition.

A tense atmosphere enveloped the entire venue, with contestants eagerly anticipating their work standing out.

anwhile, Riley Hawthorne was working at Zachary Sutton’s company.

She sat at her post, watching the jewelry competition live stream, muttering, "Why hasn’t it started yet?"

Just then, the supervisor ca over, reprimanding her thoroughly: "Riley Hawthorne, are you really playing on your phone during work hours? Do you know this severely violates company policy? Do you think this is your ho, where you can do as you please?"

Riley Hawthorne was startled and just about to snap, only to realize she wasn’t at her own company but at Zachary Sutton’s.

She had no choice but to put away her phone, stand up, and nervously say, "I’m sorry, Supervisor, I was wrong."

Suddenly, Zachary Sutton’s voice ca from behind the supervisor, "Riley Hawthorne, co to my office for a mont."

Upon hearing this, Riley Hawthorne was overjoyed and promptly replied, "Yes, President Sutton."

Riley Hawthorne followed behind Zachary Sutton, feeling both nervous and excited.

She didn’t know why Zachary Sutton wanted to see her, but the thought of being alone with him filled her heart with anticipation.

Entering the office, Zachary Sutton sat in his chair, turned on the computer, and displayed the live stream of the competition to her.

"If you want to watch the live stream, feel free to watch it in my office. But don’t watch it at your own desk; if the supervisor catches you, I can’t help you."

Even though Zachary Sutton was the boss, he couldn’t break company rules and policies.

However, behind closed doors, he could let Riley Hawthorne be a little willful.

Riley looked at the live stream on the computer screen, feeling a warm rush. She didn’t expect Zachary Sutton to be so considerate, allowing her to watch the live stream in the office.

"Thanks, Zachary, that’s so nice of you!" Riley Hawthorne said gratefully.

Zachary Sutton smiled slightly, "No need to thank ; just enjoy the competition. But afterward, you better work harder."

Riley Hawthorne nodded vigorously, "I will."

After that, the two watched the live stream together, curious to see if Vivian Lynch would win first place in the jewelry design competition this ti.
