Just then, Bianca's head popped up from the other side of the windowsill. Seeing Vivienne lying on the rocking chair without any reaction, she looked displeased. "Hey! Vivienne, are you deaf? Why are you ignoring me when I'm calling for someone?"
Vivienne kept her back to her. "You were calling for Grandpa, not me. Why should I answer you?!"
"You..." Bianca was furious again. She couldn't understand why she had been so restless ever since her argument with Vivienne. She had finally found an excuse to come to Northwing Court, only for this girl to give her the cold shoulder.
"Who do you think you are? You think I actually care about you? You annoying brat!"
Bianca suddenly flew into a rage, spun around, and stormed off. Just then, Caspian came out of the house, smiling and waving at her.
"Bianca."
Feeling wronged, Bianca ran over to Caspian and said deliberately loudly, "Grandpa, I came here especially to see you!"
Caspian glanced at the floral window opposite them and, understanding the situation, patted her head. "Come on, come inside with Grandpa."
In the room, Vivienne showed no reaction at all, casually tickling Little Stray's belly. Her tone was nonchalant. "She can't even manage a basic apology. An ally like that isn't worth having anyway."
Bianca didn't stay long in Caspian's room. As she was leaving Northwing Court, she shot a venomous glare at the floral window. That annoying Vivienne! Whoever talks to her again is a dog!
***
Echostone House.
To appease public anger, Dorian voluntarily resigned from his position as a congressman. But even so, many people were not satisfied, mocking Dorian as the best actor in Athelvia's political scene, taking taxpayers' money while fooling the public.
But now, with Ethan's scandal breaking, the public opinion had completely shifted. No matter how big Dorian's issue was, it was still just a personal moral scandal. Ethan's case, however, was different. It involved political stances bordering on treason, and the people of Athelvia were not so easily fooled.
If the charges were proven, Ethan would rot in prison, if not worse. The Montclair family would disappear from Athelvia's political and social elite circles forever.
Ethan clearly understood the gravity of the situation. Faced with the tide of public outrage, he had no choice but to pick up a microphone and face the cameras.
"Please, everyone, remain calm. This is a complete fabrication... I hope..."
The man on the screen was impassioned and filled with righteous indignation.
