Chapter 132: Chapter 132

Simon and his wife made Vivienne realize that there must be something wrong with Eve’s injury.

Marian didn’t speak, and Simon smiled and said, “She fell on the ground herself. Eve is naughty and likes to fight with other children in the community. So she always has bruises on her body.”

Vivienne definitely didn’t believe it, and said, “I notice that Eve doesn’t talk much, and she’s a bit malnourished…”

“She is my daughter, and I will not abuse her.” Marian said badly, “This is none of your business.”

With that, Marian closed the door.

Standing outside the door, Vivienne vaguely heard Simon. reprimanding Marian, “Why are you so angry? She will laugh at us.”

“Why? I’m the one who takes care of all the stuff of this family. I’m exhausted…”

Vivienne stood at the door for a while. After all, it was someone else’s family business, and she couldn’t control it, so she had to leave.

Vivienne took the elevator downstairs. She noticed that Simon’s house was very messy, with baby products everywhere, but there was not even a pair of little girl’s shoes in the shoe cabinet at the door.

Vivienne couldn’t help but think of the ill-fitting shoes on Eve’s feet and the injuries all over her body. It was conceivable that Eve’s life in this family was not very good.

She couldn’t interfere, but Child Protective Services could.

So Vivienne called the CPS to explain the situation and hoped that they would mediate.

After Vivienne left, Eve woke up and saw Marian with horror in her eyes.

Marian yelled, “Hurry up and do the laundry and mop the floor. I don’t have useless people in my family.

If you can’t finish all that, don’t even think about having lunch today!”

Eve timidly went to do the laundry. Other children at this age would cuddle up in their parent’s arms and be carefree, but Eve didn’t have this kind of treatment.

She had endless chores every day. She was just five years old, but she had not yet attended preschool, and she was not able to get enough to eat every day.

Being beaten was just like a daily routine for her, and Marian took her as a vent when she was in a bad mood.

The wounds on her body were also caused by Marian.

Marian was mean, and Simon could only watch, and be persuaded, “Don’t be too cruel to Eve, she’s just a child.”

Marian stared at Simon fiercely, “Now that you’ve said this, I told you to throw this trash away. Why don’t you do it? Why did you get her back? She’s not your real daughter. It costs money to raise her.

Even looking at her makes me angry.”

“It’s too pitiful to throw her out.” Simon still had some human nature, and said, “I will try my best to make more money, and you just take care of the house. As for Eve, don’t beat her so frequently. It’s not good for the neighbors to see her wounds. Besides, I feel bad to look at her wounds.”

“What do you feel bad about? What you should feel bad for is your baby son, she is just an orphan.”

Marian insisted, “Tell me frankly, is that girl your illegitimate daughter? You tricked me into adopting her?”

“What are you talking about?” Simon couldn’t speak clearly, and took out some money from his pocket, “Take it and buy a pair of shoes and some clothes for Eve, I have to go to the construction site in the afternoon. Eve will be grateful to you when she grows up. We have a son, and we have Eve, a boy and a girl, which is perfect.”

Simon was more tolerant. It didn’t matter whether Eve was his real daughter or not. After getting along with her for a long time, he actually cared about Eve.

It was just that Simon was busy working outside, and rarely stayed at home, so he couldn’t protect Eve.

On the one hand, was his wife and son, and on the other was his adopted daughter, so Simon chose to not offend his wife. He could only mediate in the middle.

Marian looked at the money, immediately took it in her hand, counted it vulgarly, and said with a smile, “Take care of your business then, as long as you get the money back, you don’t have to worry about the family’s affairs.”

Simon was in a hurry to go out, he went to the bathroom and talked to Eve, “Eve, listen to your mother and behave, Dad is going out to make money!”

Eve squatted on the ground and still had laundry in her hand.

Dividing into pages now She looked at Simon without saying a word, but there was reluctance in her eyes.

Eve’s life was slightly easier when Simon was around.

Seeing Eve like this, Simon sighed. Eve was quite lively before. Since they had their own son, naturally they didn’t get close to Eve very much.

And Eve didn’t talk much over time.

Simon went out to work. Marian took the money, told Eve to do the chores at home, and then took his son out shopping.

Ever since meeting Eve, Vivienne had always been thinking about her and dreaming of her.

Vivienne called the CPS to inquire about the results of the mediation and learned that Marian kicked out the people from CPS, so there was no way for them to figure out Eve’s living conditions.

Vivienne also had a lot of chores. The downstairs neighbors came to her every day because of the water leak in the house and stared at her to deal with it.

Vivienne contacted the decoration company and tried her best to make up for it. This weekend, she was so busy.

Since the previous phone call, Damien sent her a message, and she responded perfunctorily.

Vivienne was still angry. She just went to work and then get off work as usual, but she didn’t ask Damien when he would be back from his business trip.

That night, Vivienne came home after work, and she was just about to turn on the light when she was surrounded by a familiar smell. She was hugged and constrained against the corner of the wall.

“Miss me?”

A deep and magnetic voice sounded, extremely attractive, “Are you angry with me?”
