Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 794

For some inexplicable reason, the moment their eyes locked, a dangerous, predatory vibe radiated from him, as if his gaze was screaming: *I'm yours to play with.*

Vivienne's eye twitched. She maintained a perfectly blank expression and quickly looked away, accidentally locking eyes with Alaric again.

Alaric had been watching her the entire time. When she finally looked back at him, the desperate hope in his eyes had completely died.

Vivienne winced internally, deliberately stretching her neck to look around the room before flashing a bright smile at Caspian. "Grandpa, how is Julian?"

At the mention of Julian, Caspian's smile faded slightly. "He didn't hit any major organs, but he'll be stuck in the hospital for at least a month."

"He really loves making things difficult, doesn't he?" Vivienne muttered.

Alaric stared at Vivienne, absolutely certain she wasn't going to look at him again. He then shifted his cold, flat gaze toward Cyril.

Sensing the hostility, Cyril looked over.

Their eyes met. One wore a gentle, polite smile; the other was completely cold and detached.

"Alright. Everyone is here. Let's eat," Caspian announced, cutting through the tension. He signaled the staff to serve dinner.

The family exchanged quiet glances before following him to the dining table.

Cyril and Alaric took the seats directly flanking Caspian. Because her wheelchair made sitting at the main table awkward, Caspian ordered a smaller table set up beside them just for Vivienne, with Marissa tasked with serving her.

The younger generation barely spoke a word. A few hushed comments passed between the other branches, but Leander was absent, and Dorian was clearly being iced out.

Normally, Caspian would have immediately smoothed over the tension to maintain the illusion of family harmony. But tonight, he saw everything and said absolutely nothing, focusing entirely on his meal.

From her separate table, Vivienne had the perfect vantage point. She watched everyone's reactions like a hawk.

The others quickly picked up on the suffocating atmosphere. They exchanged nervous glances and fell completely silent. The quiet in the room became incredibly oppressive.

Talia sensed that Caspian was acting entirely out of character. After a moment of hesitation, she forced a smile. "Dad..."
