Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 784

Clunk-clatter-bang—

The forklift rumbled behind them, sounding like it was on the verge of a catastrophic breakdown.

And so, one man and one machine made their way to the entrance of Vellmont Lodge.

"Oh my! What is all this racket? Where did this tractor come from?"

The deafening noise had given Marissa ringing ears. Without waiting for Alaric to knock, she rushed out to see what was going on.

"Is that... Mr. Alaric?" Marissa was thoroughly stunned to see a mud-splattered industrial forklift sharing a frame with the impeccably elegant heir. "What is all this?"

Alaric stood tall. "How is Vivienne doing? I came to check on her."

It was the first time Marissa had ever seen someone bring a literal forklift of gifts to a sickbed. Still reeling, she answered a bit awkwardly. "Mr. Alaric, your timing isn't great. Miss Lexton has already gone to sleep."

Alaric's gaze shifted slightly. "At this hour?"

He had timed his visit perfectly. Normally, this was Vivienne's peak activity window—she was either out in the courtyard sunning her turtle or painting in the back garden.

Catching the underlying skepticism in Alaric's tone, Marissa hurried to explain, "Mr. Alaric, Miss Lexton just chased Mr. Cyril out of here with a beating. She's emotionally volatile right now and refuses to see anyone."

Alaric frowned slightly. "She... hit Cyril?"

Marissa glanced around nervously, offering a strained, polite smile. "Even Mr. Ravenshire didn't get off easy when he tried to intervene. I'd highly suggest you don't walk into the line of fire today."

Alaric turned to look at Whitestone Lodge. He remained silent for a moment before speaking calmly. "Take these gifts inside. I'll come back another day."

Looking at the mountain of presents stacked higher than the courtyard wall, Marissa was deeply moved. "Mr. Alaric, you are far too generous."

Alaric nodded, wasting no more time, and turned back the way he came.

"Boss!"

Wesley hurriedly vaulted out of the forklift and sprinted to catch up with Alaric.
