After a visit to the police station, Yara York finally understood that Caden Hawthorne was nothing more than a cold-blooded and heartless person; for that Vivian Lynch, he had completely changed. She originally thought that Caden agreed to meet with them out of guilt, but it turned out that he just wanted to find out if they knew a man named "Owen Barlow." Yara couldn’t understand Yvonne York; even after Caden treated her like that, how could she still be hung up on him? As night fell, the neon lights on the street lit up, giving the city a golden glow. "Sister-in-law, are you really okay?" Riley Hawthorne glanced at Vivian sitting next to her. Vivian looked calm, showing no signs of sadness on her face. "What could be wrong with me?" Vivian replied indifferently. "Aren’t you angry to see those things online?" Riley asked in disbelief. Although she knew her brother was being set up, Yvonne York’s so-called clarification video concealed her feelings for her brother. Latest content published on n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net At the time, she was at the company and got so mad watching that video. "How is this a clarification? It’s clearly a veiled confession, ugh! Yvonne York is so shameless, such a manipulative wench." Riley cursed while watching, wishing she could confront the York sisters directly. But thinking of her pregnant sister-in-law at home, she took half a day off work to accompany her. Who knew, Vivian didn’t show any sadness; she ate, drank, and enjoyed the sun as usual. "What good will it do to get angry?" Vivian smiled faintly, "Besides, your brother was set up, and I trust him." One sentence, "I trust him," was more precious than anything in the world. Riley suddenly envied the relationship between Vivian and her brother, resilient and full of mutual trust. Riley looked at Vivian with admiration in her eyes. "Sister-in-law, you are truly amazing. If it were me, I might have been angry long ago." Vivian gently shook her head. "Getting angry won’t solve the problem. Plus, I know your brother; he wouldn’t do anything to betray me. The most important thing now is to find out who’s behind this and clear his name." Riley nodded. "Mm, I also believe my brother will settle this. But that Yvonne York is really too much; she’ll definitely continue to cause trouble." Vivian frowned slightly. "Why would she do that? Is it just because she likes your brother?" Riley snorted. "She’s just jealous of you. Seeing how happy you and my brother are makes her unbalanced. Such a woman is the most terrifying, willing to stop at nothing to achieve her goals." Vivian was silent for a moment, then resolutely said, "No matter what, I won’t let any woman destroy my family." In the past, perhaps she wouldn’t have cared, but things were different now. She had fallen in love with Caden Hawthorne and couldn’t bear to leave him, nor did she want to be apart from him. Moreover, she was carrying his child and cherished every day they spent together. Riley grasped Vivian’s hand. "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’ll always be by your side. You’re the daughter-in-law recognized by our Hawthorne Family, and we’ll protect this family together." Vivian looked at Riley gratefully. "Thank you, Riley. Having you all makes me feel very warm." At that moment, Mrs. Hawthorne walked over with a smile, "Vivian, Riley, hurry and wash up, it’s time for dinner." "Got it, Mom, we’re coming," Riley replied. "Sister-in-law, let’s go eat!" Riley said as she helped Vivian stand up. "Aren’t we waiting for your brother?" Vivian couldn’t help but ask, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Don’t mind him, sister-in-law, you’re the pregnant one, so even if my brother goes hungry, you shouldn’t let the baby in your belly starve." With that, Riley reached out to gently touch her belly. Seeing Riley’s action, Vivian burst into laughter. "Who says you’re going to let me go hungry?" At this moment, Caden Hawthorne walked in, looking travel-weary. Seeing Caden, Riley pouted, "Brother, you actually came back? We all thought you didn’t care about sister-in-law and the baby anymore." Caden frowned slightly and walked over to Vivian, looking at her gently: "How could that be? I rushed back as soon as I finished my work." Looking at Caden’s slightly tired face, Vivian felt a wave of heartache: "How’s the situation going?" Caden held her hand: "Don’t worry, I found some clues, and we’ll have it resolved soon." Mrs. Hawthorne looked at them and laughed: "Alright, alright, let’s eat first, and we can talk about it after dinner." The family sat down in the dining room, and Caden kept putting food on Vivian’s plate, caring for her health and diet. Mrs. Hawthorne also gently said, "Vivian, since you’re pregnant, you must eat more nutritious food. Don’t let all those messy things affect your mood." Vivian nodded, "I know, Mom. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself and the baby." Riley watched from the side, couldn’t help teasing: "Ever since sister-in-law joined the family, I’m no longer the family’s darling; sister-in-law has become the star of the family, right?" Caden lightly glared at Riley: "You’re already grown, yet still seeking attention. Vivian is pregnant now, so of course, she’s the one to be cared for the most." Mrs. Hawthorne joined in with a laugh: "Exactly, Riley, you can’t compare. Once you have your own family, you’ll understand." Riley pretended to pout, feeling wronged: "Fine, I suppose I’ve lost my place of favor. But as long as sister-in-law and the baby are well, I’m happy." Vivian chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed: "Riley, don’t say that. You’re also very important to this family." Riley blinked playfully: "Sister-in-law, you’re the best to me." Suddenly, Caden seemed to realize something and looked at Riley, "Riley, you and Zachary..." "Cough cough..." Not waiting for Caden to finish, Riley, who was busy eating, suddenly choked. "Riley, are you okay?" Mrs. Hawthorne looked worried and quickly patted her back to help her, "Look at you, how can you choke while eating at your age?" Seeing Riley’s reaction, Caden frowned. Meanwhile, Vivian subtly tugged at his sleeve, shaking her head, signaling him not to continue. Caden nodded slightly, refraining from pressing the matter about Zachary Sutton with Riley. Riley took a sip of water, feeling much better. Mrs. Hawthorne, realizing something, looked puzzled: "Caden, what were you just saying?" Caden glanced at Riley. Riley looked nervous and thought to herself, "Brother, don’t say anything, or I’m doomed." "Nothing," Caden said with a faint smile, "Let’s just eat." The family continued eating quietly, though the atmosphere was somewhat subtle. Riley breathed a sigh of relief, grateful her brother didn’t pursue the matter. Watching Riley’s tense demeanor, Vivian became more curious about what was going on between her and Zachary Sutton. Mrs. Hawthorne kept her curiosity to herself, choosing not to ask further. She understood that the children had their own thoughts and secrets. As long as they were happy, that was enough. After dinner, Caden escorted Vivian for a walk in the garden to aid digestion. The gentle moonlight cast a warm glow over them. "Vivian, I can explain the things online." After some silence, Caden was the first to speak up. Seeing Caden’s humble expression, Vivian smiled softly: "Alright! Then tell me what’s really going on?" "It’s Yvonne York’s doing. She wants to ruin our marriage," Caden said urgently, "Vivian, you have to believe me." "Caden, of course, I believe you, and I know you were set up." Vivian couldn’t help but hold his hand, speaking gently: "I just can’t understand why Yvonne would do such things. Is it just because she likes you?" Caden frowned, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes as he spoke with dissatisfaction: "Her feelings are selfish, completely disregarding other people’s feelings. Vivian, although I’ve known her since childhood, I don’t like her at all. I’ve made it clear before. My wife is only you, yet she keeps pestering." Vivian sighed lightly, unable to stop herself from saying: "Maybe she’s just unwilling. She is sinking deeper by clinging onto something she can’t have." Caden held Vivian’s hand tightly, "Vivian, don’t worry, I will quickly resolve this matter and won’t let anyone hurt you again." Vivian nodded and leaned on Caden’s shoulder.
