CHAPTER 118: CHAPTER 118: VIVIAN LINDEN’S MISERABLE END

Speaking of Daisy, Aiden Grant was filled with regret and hatred.

Before, his mind must have been caught in a door, that’s why he was foolish enough to believe that Vivian Linden would be gentle and patient with Daisy.

"Vivian Linden, you incited Noelle to do that peanut allergy thing to Daisy, didn’t you?"

After all this time, Aiden felt afraid just thinking about it.

How foolish must he have been to defend Vivian Linden in front of Tiana Linden.

At that time, Tiana must have been completely disappointed in him.

For this manipulative woman before him, he hurt the woman he loved most, again and again.

He even almost let this woman kill his own daughter.

The next moment, he grabbed Vivian Linden by the neck.

Pressed her against the car door.

"If you dare to hurt Tiana and Daisy again, I will make sure you die without a burial place."

Vivian Linden, in front of the car door, her face turned red and purple.

She was almost out of breath.

However, she didn’t struggle.

Instead, she looked at Aiden with a look of relief: if death could atone for her sins, then let her die.

To die at Aiden’s hands, would that mean Aiden owed her a life in this life?

In the next life, to repay this debt, would he stay by her side?

Seeing her not struggling at all, Aiden’s face was sullen as he forcefully pushed her away.

"Vivian Linden, I never want to see you again in my life."

"Get lost!"

Vivian Linden cried,

"Aiden, I admit about the peanut allergy incident."

"I used Noelle’s jealousy and desire for revenge, deliberately mentioning Daisy’s peanut allergy in front of her."

"So Noelle sought revenge on Daisy by putting peanut candy in Daisy’s cup."

"But I really didn’t expect one peanut candy would cause Daisy to go into shock."

"I was also very scared at that time, full of regret and guilt."

"Daisy is innocent, she shouldn’t be dragged into the grudges of the previous generation."

"Do you still remember when you wanted to send Daisy abroad, and she got lost once?"

"Actually, it was arranged by Sixth Young Master Chaucer, he wanted to kill Daisy and blame it on The Linden Family, to cause a rift between Tiana and The Linden Family."

"I couldn’t bear it, I pulled Daisy out of the river and sent her back to the village."

"Aiden, I know Daisy is your biological daughter, if you lost Daisy, you would be in pain."

"How could I possibly let Daisy die?"

"Considering that I saved Daisy, could you lend me some money?"

Aiden questioned, "You saved Daisy that time?"

Vivian Linden: "Aiden, I’m really not lying, I’m not as bad as you think, I was also forced into this."

In her pitiful sobs, she revealed her background and experiences to Aiden.

Only then did Aiden learn that Vivian Linden was not actually Sharon Sullivan’s biological daughter.

She was just a little girl Sharon Sullivan picked up from outside to get close to James Linden.

Her biological parents had long since died.

Her only grandmother had also passed away.

She had no family.

Sharon Sullivan was not her biological mother.

Now even James Linden and Daniel Linden, who loved her the most, couldn’t wait to kill her.

"Aiden, I really have nowhere else to go, I don’t have a penny on me."

"Could you help me, please?"

Such a pitiful Vivian Linden, Aiden felt no compassion at all.

He coldly said, "Vivian Linden, you brought this all on yourself, you deserve it!"

That evening.

All of Vivian Linden’s belongings were cleared out by the servants of The Linden Family.

She looked at those belongings placed at the gate, only a few pieces of clothing.

"Uncle Cameron, can I take my bags, shoes, jewelry with me?"

Uncle Cameron said with difficulty, "Vivian, I’m really sorry, your brother..."

Daniel Linden was no longer her brother.

Uncle Cameron quickly corrected himself, "Vivian, Mr. Linden instructed that none of the things The Linden Family purchased for you can be taken with you."

Vivian Linden originally thought, being penniless, she could take away some bags, shoes, jewelry.

She could sell them at a luxury store for enough living expenses for a while.

But, The Linden Family was ruthless.

Even these they wanted her to return.

"Uncle Cameron, I don’t have a penny, and I don’t even have a place to stay after leaving The Linden Family."

"Could you lend me a few thousand dollars first?"

"When I find a job and get paid, I’ll repay you immediately."

Uncle Cameron said helplessly, "Vivian, I’m afraid I can’t help you, if I do, I’ll lose my job."

The response Vivian gave Uncle Cameron was a series of bitter laughs:

"Ha, hahaha..."

"Daniel Linden sure lives up to his name, heartless and ruthless!"

The Linden Family people change faces faster than turning pages.

And that wasn’t it.

In the following days, Vivian Linden tried to find a job using her expertise in pharmaceutical research.

But the result was only one:

The Linden Family used all their connections to blacklist her in the pharmaceutical research industry.

She really was at the end of her rope.

...

It was Saturday.

Tiana Linden received the sixth phone call from Jane Summers.

Jane Summers had invited her several times, either to watch a movie, eat, shop, or go out for fun.

Every time, Tiana refused.

However, this time the person on the phone was Joshua Grant.

"Aunt Tiana, can I invite Daisy to the aquarium?"

Tiana sought Daisy’s opinion.

"Daisy, do you want to go to the aquarium with Joshua?"

Daisy liked Joshua very much.

He always shared delicious and fun things with her and took care of her.

Daisy eagerly nodded, "Yes, but I want to bring Laura along."

Before, she and Daisy were lonely.

Now Daisy had Joshua and Laura, Tiana was very relieved.

So, The Sutton Family’s driver Dunn took Daisy and Laura to meet up with Joshua.

In the car, she received a message from Jane Summers: Tiana, you come to the restaurant first, we’ll go to the aquarium after lunch.

It was lunchtime.

Tiana arrived as agreed, bringing two kids to the reserved private room outside.

The server opened the door and led the three of them inside, but Jane Summers and Joshua Grant were not there.

In the large private room, there was only one person.

Someone that neither Tiana Linden nor Daisy wanted to see again in this life—Aiden Grant.

At that moment, Tiana realized that she’d been tricked.

Jane Summers had invited her out, but it was at Aiden’s behest.

This time, Daisy looked up at her from the side, "Mom, I don’t want to see him."

"Mom knows." Tiana patted Daisy’s head.

The good mood the mother and daughter had on the way was completely gone.

Aiden stood up from the dining table and walked briskly towards the mother and daughter.

It was obvious that this man wanted to finish eating and then take the mother and daughter to the aquarium.

Because he wasn’t wearing a suit, but a casual outfit.

A grey casual sportswear set, making his body proportions look more slender and upright.

This outfit, could it be the one she gave Aiden when they were in college?

At first, Tiana wasn’t sure.

Then as Aiden got closer, she saw the letters LT embroidered on the clothes and only then was sure.

It was indeed the clothes she gave Aiden when she was a freshman.

LT represented her name: Tiana Linden.

Admittedly, twelve years had passed, and this man still looked charming in this youthful outfit.

Back then, Aiden was the one who filled her heart and eyes.

Now seeing Aiden wearing this outfit again only made Tiana realize how foolish she’d been before.
