Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 57

Vivienne thought back carefully, but besides the upcoming presidential election, nothing particularly significant came to mind.

She nodded obediently, studying Caspian with a thoughtful expression.

Caspian looked at her, amused. "What is it? You've been staring at Grandpa all evening."

Vivienne shook her head and took a large bite of the pastry. Suddenly, she remembered something and spoke with righteous indignation, "Grandpa, Cyril came here today. He took your favorite flower, and when I told him he couldn't, he insulted me!"

"Oh? That boy has such a good temper, he insults people?" Caspian's interest was piqued. "How did he insult you?"

*Grandpa is completely fooled by Cyril,* she thought. *If he has a good temper, then no one here does.*

Vivienne replied, "He told me to study hard." *Wait! That doesn't sound very damaging.* She quickly added, "He was basically calling me stupid."

Caspian chuckled, the gloom of the day suddenly lifting. He teased, "I don't see anything wrong with what Cyril said."

Vivienne's eyes widened. "Grandpa!"

Caspian glanced at her. "Speaking of studying, your principal called to apologize today. I saw your report card."

Vivienne froze, not immediately registering his words.

Caspian continued, "Vivienne, your report card is a sea of red. Between Math, Arts, and History, you’ve barely managed to stay above water. I never thought a grandchild of mine would be failing every single subject. You and Bianca are really making me ‘proud’."

She was speechless. The dead memories came rushing back. Vivienne suddenly remembered that she was, in fact, a terrible student. Even worse than that fool Bianca.

When the three arrived at the stream, they saw their grandfather lying on a bamboo chair on the wooden deck, wearing flip-flops. More importantly, he was in cargo shorts, a white t-shirt, and a utility vest, with sunglasses perched on his head—looking every bit the trendy old-timer.

Caspian called out leisurely, "Cedric, give the fishing net and rod to Cyril."

Cedric immediately handed over the prepared tools.

Caspian said, "Cyril, my boy, take your two sisters to catch some fish and shrimp for Grandpa. Whether we eat well tonight is all up to you, their older brother."

Cyril cooperatively took the equipment. "The reeds over there look thick. Let's go there."

"Why should we listen to you?" Bianca snatched the fishing net from Cyril's hand and pointed to a bare patch of mud. "I think that spot looks good. I'm going to catch shrimp there." She then turned to Vivienne. "Vivienne, are you coming with me?"
