From Divorce To Dominance novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85
After they sat down, Kate came to serve the dishes. When she came over with a bowl of soup, she saw Vivian standing at the kitchen door in a daze, so she gently reminded her, “Have a seat, Ms. Zavala. Leave it to me.”
Vivian came back to her senses and forced a smile. “Oh, okay.”
She went to wash her hands, distracted, and what she had just seen kept lingering in her mind.
She envied the close and natural interaction between Darren and Natalie.
He would get emotional over Natalie’s words and play with her, which he had never done when he was with Vivian.
Vivian had always thought he appeared aloof and serious, but it turned out that she was
wrong.
Vivian became extremely jealous. She turned off the faucet abruptly, wiped her hands, and came out of the kitchen with a dish.
The dining room was lively. Natalie was talking about those excellent men she was going to follow with Henry, who highly praised those men to pi** Darren off.
“Great!” Natalie said happily, “You’re so good to me, Grandpa Henry.”
Henry looked at her proudly and said, “Of course I am. Just tell me whenever you feel hurt. I’ll deal with those guys who mess with you!”
There was resentment in Vivian’s eyes. Soon, she calmed down and came over with a smile. “What are you talking about? You look so delighted.”
Henry ignored her and continued to talk to Natalie.
Vivian was neglected again. However, she didn’t feel embarrassed. She put the plate on the table and sat next to Darren, saying, “I made your favorite steak, Darren. Have a try. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
Darren nodded slightly, indifferent as ever. He wasn’t as happy as he was just moments ago in the living room.
Vivian pinched her palm under the table, thinking, ‘It’s okay if you don’t want to talk to me. Anyway, I’m gonna marry you in three months. I’ll make you love me sooner or later.’

Henry was a little hungry. He looked at the dishes and said, “Let’s enjoy the meal. Natalie must be starving
Natalic put the plate of salmon in front of Henry and said, “Be careful, Grandpa Henry. Don’t choke yourself.”
Henry praised her again with a smile. He ate the salmon and said, “The salmon you made was so much better than this. Could I have the chance to try it again?”
Natalic agreed, “Sure. Maybe later. I haven’t cooked for a while and I need to practice a bit
“Okay” Hearing her agree, Henry said with satisfaction, “Come to my house and cook for me if you’re free next time.”
Natalie assured him. “No problem.” They chatted happily, excluding Vivian as if she were a stranger.
She thought for a while. When the two of them finally stopped talking, she suddenly. said, “I saw a trending topic on Twitter just now, Ms. Xavier.”
Natalie glanced at her and said, “And?”
“It says everyone knows about your affair with the six old men. And the video… Vivian paused deliberately and glanced at Henry.
Seeing Henry’s face darken, she smirked secretly and continued, “Darren and I believe you, and we know that you wouldn’t do such a thing. However, you know, the public opinion can be terrifying. What are you gonna do about it?”
“Didn’t I post on Twitter that I’ll handle it tomorrow?” Natalie blinked with an indifferent look. “I just want to eat now. I don’t want to talk about it.”
Vivian acted like she didn’t hear her. “I’ve been in the entertainment industry for years and I have more experience handling this kind of thing than you do. Just tell me if you need my help. I’m willing to have my PR team help you resolve this issue.”
Natalie smiled politely and said, “Thanks but no thanks. I know what to do.”
“Ms. Xavier,” Vivian said with a serious look, “You have to do something about it. Someone must be framing you. In the entertainment industry, mishandling could lead to being canceled.”
Natalie raised her eyebrows slightly, saying nothing.
Having realized her silence, Vivian persuaded her, “Your actions have crossed the line

with the public, so you have to handle it more cautiously. Otherwise, things will get worse. You could be kicked out of Sweet Love and even be forced to quit your job.”
“Really?” Natalie remained calm, taking a sip of water. “Can it be so terrible?”
“Of course! That’s why I said that you can ask me for help, Ms. Xavier,” said Vivian..
Vivian held Darren’s hand. She felt that he was glaring at her, but she ignored it and said with a smile, “Feel free to talk to me. You’re Grandpa Henry and Darren’s friend. I’m happy to help.”
She continued with a happy smile, “Haven’t you heard about Darren’s status in the entertainment industry? He protected me since the first day I entered this industry.”
Natalic looked surprised and jealous. The next second, however, she said, “A single word from Mr. Luther can capture the attention of the entire Greton. With his help, you can have whatever you want.”
Vivian nodded and said, “You’re right. Darren cares a lot about me. After learning that I wanted to work in the entertainment industry, he went out of his way to promote me and provided countless resources.”
Natalie blurted out, “With all those resources, you still haven’t become the most popular one in this industry. Don’t you think you might be unsuited for this job?”
Vivian froze, suppressing the urge to brag.
“Oops. It seems like I may have said something I shouldn’t have.” Natalie exclaimed in a low voice, “Sorry, I’m a straightforward person, but I do think you should think about
it.”
Vivian forced a smile and said, “It’s okay. I’m still young and I have a lot to learn.”
“If you want to become famous, you need to act quickly. If you haven’t achieved much while you’re young, it’s even less likely you’ll succeed when you’re older.” Natalie took another sip of water and looked at Vivian with a smile. “You’re getting older, Ms. Zavala.”
Vivian was only twenty-five this year, but in the entertainment industry, it was considered a little old.
She felt pi**d. She
Xavier, I’m sure that you’ll solve this issue properly tomorrow. Good luck.” “Thanks. Natalie said calmly, “You’ll learn a lot from me.”
