Chapter 656: Chapter 656 Wounds and Scars

Seeing that Eudora was silent, the assistant behind Fabian reminded her in a low voice, “Miss George, Mr. Nolan has been preparing this surprise for many days. Also, Mr. Nolan supervised the whole process of the video making including the actors. Everything, from the casting down to the locations, was supervised by Mr. Nolan himself! I have never seen him treat anyone that well before…”

His assistant tried his best to paint the right mood for her, but in Eudora’s mind, she recalled how when she was pregnant, Amos had prepared fruits and nutritious meals for her every day.

She had already witnessed the best love in the world. Nothing else would impress her anymore.

“Thank you!”

Eudora replied lightly, and the assistant was instantly displeased. Why did Mr. Nolan treat her so well only to be repaid by a simple “thank you” in such a bland manner?

He still wanted to say something, but Fabian interrupted him instead.

“Enough, I’ve asked you to call Callum. Is he here? Go and have a look.”

The assistant turned around and went out in a bad mood. Only then did Fabian reach out and hold Eudora from behind.

“It doesn’t matter. The future is still long. Let’s take it slow.”

…

Fabian had asked the restaurant to prepare dinner when Eudora wanted to see Callum.

As soon as they sat down, they saw the assistant leading Callum in. Callum looked much better than he was a few days ago. He did not look as terrible as he was when he had just gotten out of prison.

As soon as he saw Fabian and Eudora, he walked over with a smile.

“I heard that the future Mrs. Nolan wanted to see me, so I came flying over. If Miss George has any orders for me, I will happily do anything without hesitation!”

Listening to him from a close distance, she found that his voice matched the recording entirely.

Fabian glanced at him and said, “We’re all friends here, so don’t talk nonsense. Sit down, Eudora said that since you’re my right-hand man, she wants to build a good relationship with you and ask for your support in the future!”

Callum paused, and then he looked at Fabian and laughed.

“Wow, who knew that you’d become like this one day!” He turned around and looked at Eudora. “Young Madam, don’t worry! You’re Mr. Nolan’s beloved woman now. I’m definitely on your side!”

Eudora smiled and looked at Vivian who had been standing silently behind Callum. Despite the hot weather, she was wearing a black long-sleeved dress, and she looked flushed.

Noticing that Eudora was looking at Vivian, Callum pulled Vivian forward immediately.

“I heard that this meeting is about personal affairs. I was worried that the Young Madam won’t be used to meeting a rough guy like me, so I brought Vivian with me. Vivian, say hello to the Young Madam!”

Vivian cast a cold glance at Eudora. “Young Madam!”

Eudora could clearly sense Vivian’s disgust towards her. She probably thought that it was because Eudora didn’t understand her words, right?

Fabian frowned when he saw this.

Callum scolded her immediately, “What’s with your attitude? I’m sorry, sir. It’s all my fault. She seldom comes out, so she doesn’t like to interact with others.”

Fabian still wanted to say something, but Eudora had already spoken.

“It’s all right! Sit down and let’s eat together! Is there anything she likes here? Help take some of the dishes for her.”

Callum breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Vivian to sit down. “Thank you, Young Madam.”

Most of the time, Callum did the talking. Vivian just lowered her head and took a bite from time to time. Most of the time, she just kept her head down and stared blankly.

She looked bleak. There was no twinkle in her eyes.

Eudora recalled the Vivian that she had seen in the family photo and felt sorry for her. She didn’t know what Vivian had gone through all these years.

After the meal, Callum called Fabian in temporarily, saying that he had some company matters to discuss.

When Vivian and Eudora were left in the restaurant, Eudora wanted to ask Vivian about it. However…

She glanced at the CCTV on top of her head and dismissed that notion.

After pouring a glass of juice, Eudora picked it up and walked over to Vivian.

“You look unwell. Why don’t you have some fruit juice?”

Vivian ignored her, so Eudora put down the juice and sat down beside Vivian.

Vivian leaned back a little in disgust and didn’t want to associate with Eudora in any way. Eudora didn’t care and continued to chat with her.

“It seems that Callum treats you well. When are you going to get married?”

Vivian sneered as if she had heard sarcastic words. “You don’t have to pretend that you don’t know me. I don’t have the mood to act with you here.”

Eudora took a sip of fruit juice. “Do your parents like this kind of juice?”

Vivian froze. She glanced at the glass of juice and then looked up in astonishment.

“You… ”

Eudora nodded slightly, maintaining her previous expression. “I was just asking, it’s fine if they don’t! If they like it, I’ll ask someone to send several boxes to you. As for you, please speak well of me before Callum so that no one would take me lightly when I marry Fabian!”

Vivian smiled bitterly and replied, “There’s no need. My parents passed away many years ago…”

Eudora pretended to be surprised. “I’m sorry.”

Vivian snorted and replied, “There’s nothing to be sorry about! I caused my own parents’ deaths, I should be the one apologizing. If I hadn’t insisted on going out to work, being materialistic and attend that stupid concert, I wouldn’t have met that monster. Then, my parents wouldn’t have died from an accident as a result of chasing after me. My younger brother wouldn’t have become depressed because of my parents’ death, and he wouldn’t have faced such a terrible fate. But now, I can only follow that monster around, and accept his so-called ‘love’.”

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat. She had never thought that Vivian’s life would turn out to be like this.

She had guessed that Vivian’s parents were dead, but she didn’t expect to hear of their miserable deaths…

She wanted to ask more questions, but the surveillance was on her side. In order to be safe, she decided to shut up.

She pretended to comfort Vivian. “I think you may have misunderstood.”

“Misunderstood?” Vivian laughed coldly. “If you were me, would you still think it was a misunderstanding? Oh no, you are the same as me. You should have seen those things. So what do you mean now? Don’t you believe me?”

Eudora was very anxious. Although Vivian’s back was to the camera, she would still be found out if she was this agitated.

“Calm down.”

“I can’t calm down!” Vivian gritted her teeth and stood up. “I’ve never seen such a ruthless woman like you! You are willing to do anything for your own benefits.”

As she spoke, she picked up the juice on the table and splashed it onto Eudora’s face.

Eudora looked at her speechlessly.

Fabian’s voice could be heard shouting, “What are you doing?”

Callum ran over in a hurry and grabbed Vivian’s clothes, dragging her out. When Callum grabbed her clothes, the hem of her clothes raised up revealing countless wounds and scars…
