"Oh, then there’s nothing more to say, let’s leave it at that!" Caden Hawthorne listened and his lips slightly curved. Bryan Coleman looked at Caden Hawthorne’s expression, feeling a bit puzzled. Just a moment ago, President Hawthorne was clearly angry; why was he delighted upon knowing it was his wife who posted? Could it be that President Hawthorne wanted the news of his hidden marriage with Vivian Lynch to be exposed? At this moment, Vivian Lynch was unaware of the online buzz; she was shopping with Stella Fletcher. The mall had a large screen broadcasting an entertainment news segment. "Today, the internet is abuzz with rumors of Hawthorne Group’s CEO Caden Hawthorne secretly marrying a mysterious woman, causing a stir. It is said the couple also visited a gynecologist, possibly due to a shotgun wedding? Everyone is speculating about the identity of this mysterious woman, and rumors are swirling..." Vivian Lynch and Stella Fletcher were enjoying their shopping trip, casually looked up at the news on the mall’s big screen. Vivian Lynch was slightly taken aback, her face showing signs of surprise. Stella Fletcher widened her eyes, staring incredulously at Vivian Lynch, "Vivian, could this mysterious woman be you?" Vivian Lynch slightly furrowed her brows, "How could it be leaked?" "Quick, open Weibo and see what’s going on." Stella Fletcher immediately suggested. Vivian Lynch nodded and quickly took out her phone, opened Weibo, and saw Caden Hawthorne trending at number one. [Caden Hawthorne of Hawthorne Group secretly marries a mysterious woman.] [Mrs. Hawthorne posts son’s marriage certificate.] [The Aethelgard Circle’s prince spotted at the hospital with a mysterious woman. Suspected to be pregnant?] [The Aethelgard Circle’s prince suspected of a shotgun wedding?] Vivian Lynch’s heart couldn’t help but race as she saw the screen full of speculation and discussion about Caden Hawthorne’s hidden marriage, unsure of what to do next. Stella Fletcher anxiously said, "Vivian, this is troublesome, your hidden marriage has been exposed, the media will soon dig out your photos." Vivian Lynch took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, "Let’s not panic, Caden Hawthorne will surely find a way to handle this." After all, Caden Hawthorne also did not want to publicize their relationship, he would certainly find every way to pull the trending topic down. At this moment, a sharp female voice echoed, "Well, Vivian Lynch, you still dare to show up?" Vivian Lynch turned her head and saw Jessica Hart marching toward them aggressively. Stella Fletcher instinctively positioned herself in front of Vivian Lynch, looking alert, "Jessica Hart, what do you want?" "What do I want?" Jessica Hart said indignantly, pointing at Vivian Lynch, "That’s what I want to ask Vivian Lynch. I just sent some people to smear you online, and you played dirty, even got someone to kidnap me." Vivian Lynch slightly frowned, looking at Jessica Hart, she said, "Jessica Hart, don’t falsely accuse me. When did I ever get someone to kidnap you?" Jessica Hart snorted coldly, "Who else if not you? Besides you, I can’t think of anyone who hates me so much." Stella Fletcher glared at Jessica Hart, "Jessica Hart, don’t cause unreasonable trouble here, Vivian would never do such a thing. After all the bad things you’ve done, you still dare to turn the tables." Jessica Hart was relentless, "I don’t care; today you must give me an answer, or I will blow this matter up and let everyone know what kind of person you, Vivian Lynch, really are." "Jessica Hart, are you sick?" Stella Fletcher rolled her eyes, "You were the one kidnapped, and now you blame it on Vivian. What kind of fuss are you making here?" "Vivian Lynch, dare you say you didn’t hire someone to do it?" Jessica Hart said viciously, "Oh, I forgot, the man behind you on that shady path, isn’t he called The Patriarch? Tsk tsk, Vivian Lynch, I didn’t expect you to look so pure, but secretly you’re the mistress of a mobster." Upon hearing this, Vivian Lynch immediately retorted, "You’re lying! I’m already married, not somebody’s mistress, I don’t even know who The Patriarch is, much less get anyone to kidnap you." "You’re married?" Jessica Hart paused, looked at Vivian Lynch in disbelief, "How is that possible? Who are you trying to fool?" Before Vivian Lynch could answer, Stella Fletcher hurriedly responded, "Indeed, our Vivian is married. I ask you to watch your mouth, our Vivian’s husband is none other than The Aethelgard Circle’s prince, Caden Hawthorne." Jessica Hart’s eyes widened in disbelief. She opened her mouth but couldn’t speak for a long while. Only after a while did she regain her voice, tremblingly saying, "No, this isn’t possible! Why would Caden Hawthorne be interested in you?" Vivian Lynch straightened her back, looked at Jessica Hart with a resolute gaze, "Believe it or not, it’s the truth. Caden and I are married, and we are very happy. Please stop making baseless accusations and slandering me." Stella Fletcher chimed in, "Exactly, Vivian and President Hawthorne are in love. You’re just trying to frame someone else after doing the wrong thing yourself, that’s just too much." Thɪs chapter is updated by novel~fire~net Jessica Hart’s face turned ghastly pale, she begrudgingly bit her lip, her heart filled with jealousy and anger. She never imagined that Vivian Lynch would actually marry Caden Hawthorne. Who is Caden Hawthorne? The Hawthorne Family’s heir, The Aethelgard Circle’s prince, and still the CEO of Hawthorne Group, a successful young businessman, the strongest billionaire in history. Why? Vivian Lynch is just an ordinary girl from a poor background, why could she marry Caden Hawthorne? Thinking of this, Jessica Hart said contemptuously, "Vivian Lynch, are you boasting without even drafting your lies? President Hawthorne is someone you can even climb up to? I think you’re just failing to lure him and are desperate to be Mrs. Hawthorne, aren’t you?" Upon hearing this, anger flickered in Vivian Lynch’s eyes, "Jessica Hart, don’t assume everyone’s as filthy as you are. Looks like you’re addicted to being the other woman." Stella Fletcher echoed with smugness, "Jessica Hart, I think you’re just jealous that Vivian married better. Serves you right! Luckily our Vivian ditched Sean Sinclair, otherwise she wouldn’t have met a good man like President Hawthorne!" "You..." A flash of anger flickered in Jessica Hart’s eyes, but she insisted on being stubborn, "Who knows if what you’re saying is true. Even if you’re really married to Caden Hawthorne, you must have used some shameful means. Maybe you already hooked up with President Hawthorne long before, pretending to be pure and virtuous in front of Sean and me?" "Vivian, let’s go, don’t waste words with such people!" Stella Fletcher really couldn’t bear it any longer, intended to pull Vivian Lynch away. "Don’t you dare leave!" Jessica Hart could not let Vivian Lynch off that easily, the matter of her being kidnapped and beaten was still unresolved! "Vivian Lynch, today you must give me an answer!" "Crazy, get out of the way!" Stella Fletcher said, annoyed. Just then, Caden Hawthorne strode over with Bryan Coleman in tow. He looked grim, fixing a sharp gaze on Jessica Hart, said coldly, "Jessica Hart, what do you want?"
