Meanwhile, the air in the Chief Editor’s office was exceedingly tensed.

Ashley was standing in front of Fabian’s desk with her pupils enlarged in fury as she shrieked, “Fabian, why didn’t you tell me that Vivian is your uncle’s newly married wife?”

It was very much to Fabian’s surprise that Ashley had found out about Vivian’s identity. He was befuddled for a while but when he looked at the egotistical way Ashley behaved, an impatient gleam flashed across his eyes and he replied, “I didn’t keep you in the dark on purpose. It was just not something I’d deliberately mention out of the blue. Besides, they’d also attend the party on the weekend. Wouldn’t you have found out by then?”

Ashley got even more irritated when he mentioned the party.

“And you have the cheek to bring up the party on this weekend!” Ashley’s pitch turned even more ear-piercing. “Have you ever thought about how devastated I would be if I suddenly saw Vivian at the party? And how should I even address her?”

Ashley had been spoiled by Harvey and Emma since young, as a result, she had always been very capricious.

However, in order to get along well with Fabian, she had been trying to restrain her temper for the past six months. Yet, she was in a state of frenzy this time and could no longer suppress her wrath.

All this was a result of her contempt for Vivian, especially when she realized how she thought she had shattered Vivian William, the person she despised the most in the world. Unfortunately, it turned out that Vivian had got on top of her and became Fabian’s aunt; therefore, she needed to vent!

“Fabian!” She got angrier. “Tell me the truth now! Did you knowingly hide this from me because you still care about Vivian? Are you waiting to see me get embarrassed on the weekend!”

Fabian was extremely annoyed by Ashley but when he heard her last sentence, he regained his composure.

“What are you talking about?” With a scornful laugh and a ruthless beam radiating from his eyes, he replied, “It’s still not time to tell who will be the one to feel embarrassed yet.”

Though perplexed, Ashley had finally redeemed her cool.

She furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Fabian, what’s that supposed to mean?”
