After Divorce: Remarried to a Tycoon with Twin Babies-Chapter 143: Vivian Flips the Table, Complete Fallout!
Wendy Warren was utterly confused: "Elias, Vivian, what are you talking about?"
"Vivian, tell Mom, did something happen to you? Were you forced by someone?"
"Or did you accidentally go down the wrong path and do something against the Grant Family?"
"Vivian, tell Mom!"
"It’s alright if we make mistakes, but if these two children truly aren’t of the Grant Family’s bloodline, we really cannot let them be born."
"You must listen to your brother and father and let’s go to the hospital to handle these two children."
"Afterward, we can act as if nothing happened. Just listen to Mom, okay?"
Saying this, Wendy Warren reached to pull Vivian Sinclair, but Vivian quickly dodged: "No."
She touched her belly, stepping back step by step.
"They are my children."
"Why should I care about the opinions of others!?"
"And I haven’t done anything against Austin Grant!"
"It is he who has wronged me!"
"Why do you all think it’s me bringing disgrace, that I did something wrong?"
"I have done nothing!"
"Aren’t you all my family? Aren’t you my parents and brother?"
"You don’t try to understand anything, why have you condemned me without reason?"
"Austin Grant did so many wrongs, why don’t you stand up for me?"
"He cheats and searches for true love, and he’s called romantic."
"I carry my own children, and it’s an unforgivable sin?"
"How laughable! Why? Just because I am a daughter of The Sinclair Family?"
"Every word cloaked under the guise of my wellbeing, trying to control and lecture me."
"Back then, you said I wasn’t a daughter of The Sinclair Family, and now you want to accept me without any grudge."
"Did you ever ask if I was willing?"
"Do I still want you as my parents and brother?"
"Let me tell you, Vivian Sinclair, I don’t want you anymore. When you abandoned me, the ties were already severed cleanly!"
"And, my children are not cursed!"
"They are gifts bestowed upon me by the heavens."
"I will never allow you to harm them!"
Saying this, Vivian leaned against Catherine Sinclair’s back.
Catherine tightly protected her, and the two watched all The Sinclair Family together, back to back.
At this moment, it seemed they had turned into two opposing teams.
Boldly exposing all the ugliness hidden behind the so-called love of The Sinclair Family.
However, Elias did not feel distraught by these heart-piercing words from Vivian.
Though his heart welled up with a slight sourness because of what Vivian said, he still felt Vivian was just throwing a childish tantrum.
What angered and frustrated him more now was the crowd surrounding The Sinclair house outside.
The power that person wielded.
What was their background?
He knew it all too well.
For The Sinclair Family in Ardis now, they indeed no longer needed to yield to anyone.
Their foundation was solid, not a top-tier family, but closely approaching that status.
Yet compared to that person...
There was still a chasm.
Maybe, the lifelong goal of his endeavors was everything that person held today.
This was reality.
This was the disparity!
He must face this oppression, must admit...
Vivian Sinclair had indeed given him a huge ’surprise’ this time.
Elias felt a sharp pain in his chest repeatedly.
Was this the sister he had raised?
Since the moment he denied her as a daughter of The Sinclair Family, it seemed she had already grown wings, about to fly away completely.
So when Vivian Sinclair pressed him with such questions, he couldn’t immediately respond.
Dare he?
Of course, he dares!
But the price would be the entirety of The Sinclair Family.
So Elias couldn’t gamble!
Elias said nothing.
Simon Sinclair, however, shook with fury, trembling as he pointed at Vivian: "Good, good, you."
"I never expected, after cherishing you for twenty-two years, we would end up raising an ingrate wolf!"
"And you’ve even led Catherine astray."
"Made her as ungrateful as you!"
"Vivian Sinclair, without The Sinclair Family, would you have the good life you enjoy today?"
"Do you want to cut ties with us? Then how will you repay the twenty-two years of upbringing?"
"How will you repay the twenty-two years you took away from Catherine, making her suffer?"
"Do you think you can just cut ties so simply?"
"Even if you do, could you ever repay?"
"We sincerely want to bring you back, yet without the Grant or Sinclair Family, what are you?"
"And here you are, ungrateful, every word stabbing at your mother’s and my heart."
"You wicked child!"
"Someone!"
"Hurry and seize the second miss!"
"No matter what, we must drag this heartless brat to the hospital today and get rid of the bastard in her belly!"
Catherine saw several servants rush forward, her face changed drastically.
"No, you can’t."
"Father, I’m begging you!"
"I don’t blame Vivian, I never hated her."
"Please don’t—can’t force her—ah!"
Catherine was suddenly yanked away by Simon Sinclair himself.
Wendy also rushed to him: "Honey, calm down."
"Honey—"
Wendy was also pushed to the ground.
Looking at Simon Sinclair, who had seemingly turned into a beast, Vivian Sinclair tightly held her belly. Although she was extremely nervous, she still looked him in the eye: "Fine."
"Calculate how much I need to pay the Sinclair Family to repay the twenty-two years of gratitude for raising me?"
"When I left home back then, I left twenty million I earned myself, is that enough?"
"If it’s not enough, I gave up my future and career for the marriage alliance between the Sinclair Family and the Grant Family. Isn’t that enough to repay this favor?"
"Moreover, back then when Catherine and I had our lives swapped, wasn’t it because of your family’s enemy that caused this chaos?"
"I took advantage; I replaced Catherine to enjoy twenty-two years of wealth and prosperity; I stole her life!"
"But why should this be counted against me?"
"Am I not innocent?"
"Did I orchestrate all this?"
"If not for that nurse, even if I ended up in the orphanage, perhaps my real family would have found me long ago."
"I wouldn’t have had my rightful life suddenly turn upside down; family no longer being family, being burdened with guilt and living cautiously as if I were a thief."
"I..."
Vivian’s outburst wasn’t entirely finished when a sudden ’slap’ echoed.
Simon’s hand was still raised high and hadn’t landed, so it was Elias Sinclair who delivered the slap.
This slap rendered the room silent.
Blood trickled slowly from the corner of Vivian’s mouth after her face was turned.
Catherine gasped.
She quickly scrambled up from the ground and hugged Vivian tightly, pushing Elias away fiercely.
"Are you crazy!?"
"You’re all crazy!"
Elias looked at his hand.
From young till now, he’d never laid a finger on Vivian.
This was the first time he’d struck her.
Within twenty-four hours, he had laid hands on both his sisters.
So, he himself was astonished, even somewhat regretful.
"Who... who told her to speak recklessly, without a care!"
"Our family raised her, only to make her an enemy!"
"Her attitude toward Dad deserves punishment, even if it means being beaten to death!"
The Sinclair Family’s patriarchal authority must not be challenged.
They can indulge you, hold you up, and even grant your every wish, protecting you without limits.
But they absolutely cannot allow you to question or defy these two paternal authorities.
This was the ironclad rule Vivian understood growing up in the Sinclair Family.
Her recent outburst was a complete challenge to the Sinclair Family.
Elias and Simon, naturally, wouldn’t tolerate her.
Even Wendy didn’t understand why Vivian had changed so much during these two returns!
Therefore, despite Vivian taking a slap, Wendy was merely shocked, covering her lips, not stepping up to point out the absurdity of the matter.
Only Catherine, she looked at them puzzled and asked: "But which part of what she said was wrong?"
"Clearly, back then, both Vivian and I were victims!"
"Why must we bear all the responsibility?"
"Why do you profess to love us, yet repeatedly push us into the fire pit?"
"Is it our value to the Sinclair Family that’s more useful, or in your eyes, are we dispensable?"
"Moreover..."
"Who exactly was that nurse, what happened to her, why do you never mention it?"
As Catherine’s words fell, even Wendy panicked.
"Catherine!"
"Stop talking!"
"Let’s handle the current situation first."
"Vivian, since those people outside came for you, quickly explain what’s going on?"
"Who are they?"
"Right now, we should unite against external threats and not turn on each other with hatred!"
Wendy was so anxious she cried.
Yet Vivian was already exhausted.
They could pick up and put down easily.
But she couldn’t.
She didn’t want to continue entangling herself with them.
Wiping away the blood at the corner of her mouth lightly, Vivian said coldly: "There’s nothing to say."
"The people outside were sent by the biological father of the child in my womb."
"I advise you to let me leave immediately."
"Otherwise... Elias, you should know what the Sinclair Family will face."
Vivian’s icy gaze pierced Elias, sending a shiver through him.
Her eyes made Elias realize he might be about to lose this sister completely...
She was not merely throwing a tantrum.
Every word she spoke was serious.
"You—"
Just then, Mrs. Chamberlain rushed in from outside: "Bad news, sir, young master, madam!"
"The people outside say they will storm in to take the second miss in five minutes if she isn’t handed over!"
"They claim they were polite first and now have resorted to force, saying we, the Sinclair Family, are being unreasonable."
"If this matter continues to be delayed, they, they will surely be at irreconcilable odds with the Sinclair Family!"
Simon flung his hand down heavily, shouting furiously: "Who dares to be so arrogant!?"
"A bunch of people like bandit thugs surrounded us early in the morning, claiming to propose a marriage—are they intending to rob us in broad daylight!?"
"This is a society governed by law!"
"Do they think they own the whole of Ardis City?"
"I ought to meet them myself and see who’s acting so imperiously and brazenly!"
After saying this, Simon glared viciously at Vivian.
"We’ll deal with you and the bastard in your belly later!"
Simon said as he headed outside, Elias reluctantly reached out to stop him: "Dad..."
"Please don’t step in on this matter."
"The ones who came... they’re from The Thorne Family."
