Everyone present, including Vivian, was naturally included.
Vivian felt unhappy in her heart, but she put on a smile on her face. She looked at the two young ladies with arrogance and sneered, "Selena has been busy with Oscar's surgery lately and has never had the old man's birthday in mind. What good birthday gift can she come up with?"
"Even if she had one, it was probably prepared in advance by Mr. Anderson for her."
Vivian's voice was not small when she said this. Everyone around heard it. Immediately, everyone's gaze gathered on Vivian.
A group of people looked at each other, and no one spoke.
First, Selena was known for being unsociable, and there was no one present who was familiar with her, so naturally no one would speak up for her.
Secondly, the Turner family had caused a lot of commotion recently, and many eyes were on Selena, wanting to know if she could cure Oscar. Even many families had ulterior motives. After all, Oscar was disabled, and for those families hostile to the Turner family, it was a good thing. Once this former chief commander of Capital was able to stand up again, his chances of regaining power in Zone Six would be even greater. This was a huge disaster for them.
However, both the Turner family and the Capital University laboratory were too vigilant, and there was no chance to take advantage of any opportunity.
Because the major families were watching Selena's every move very closely for various reasons, they all knew that Vivian was telling the truth. The young lady of the Turner family really hadn't cared about the old man's birthday banquet.
Even if she had brought a valuable birthday gift today, it was probably prepared for her by Mr. Anderson.
Once Vivian brought out her prepared birthday gift and suppressed Selena, the young lady who was about to be engaged to Osvaldo would probably become the subject of ridicule today.
Everyone looked at Vivian, who was clearly prepared, and for a moment, they all had the idea of watching a good show.
Vivian sensed everyone's thoughts and lifted her chin even higher.
Standing in the center of the banquet, like a mistress, Vivian looked at the two young ladies in front of her with a displeased expression and sneered, "Don't think I didn't hear what you were saying just now."
"Even if the Shaw family is in dire straits, we are still not the kind of small aristocratic families that you are qualified to criticize!"
Although the two young ladies' family backgrounds couldn't compare to the Shaw family, they were still well-known in the capital. After all, the families that came to celebrate the old man's birthday at the Anderson family's were all respectable.
But now, being so contemptuously ridiculed by Vivian in public, the young lady who spoke couldn't hold back her words and sneered, "Who in the entire capital doesn't know how the Shaw family got rich?!"
"Eating the flesh and blood of our H Country's loyal martyrs, yet shamelessly flaunting it here, Miss Shaw, don't you feel shameless?!"
Vivian's face turned pale immediately.
Even though everyone knew the truth, no one dared to say it out loud in public when the Shaw family was still powerful. But now that the Shaw family had fallen a little, these small aristocratic families dared to kick them while they were down in front of Vivian, and she was furious.
She glared at the young lady who spoke and said, "I'll remember your words. After we leave this place, the Shaw family will remember and find your family to settle the score!"
But the young lady sneered and was not afraid at all, "Miss Shaw, I really wonder what kind of family education the Shaw family gave you."
"The Shaw family is now in dire straits, and yet you want to make enemies with us over a trivial argument. Do you really think that the Shaw family is so powerful that it can cover up the sky with one hand?"
