You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 423

"Vivi? Vivi..."

Hearing her mother's cheerful call from outside her room, Vivian turned off her computer and took off her headphones.

The door creaked as Julie pushed it open. She strode in with a triumphant smile on her face and walked toward her daughter. She sat beside her and held her hand.

"Mr. Shi's assistant was just here to deliver a message. The wedding will be held on January 23rd, the afternoon before Lunar New Year's Eve. I've asked someone to do a fortunetelling about it. It's a good day to get married.

My dear daughter, your dream will finally come true." Julie held Vivian in her arms and patted her gently on the back. "My blood and tears were all worth it. When you marry Mr. Shi, my status in the Ye family will be higher. We can live a rich life forever."

'Yes, I'm going to marry John.

Even if the Shi family members don't approve of me, I will be John's wife. I will live in North Yard with him, not with his family.

What do I have to worry about?'

"Yes, Mom. I'm finally going to marry him. I'm finally going to marry the person I love," Vivian answered.

She had loved John for so many years, and now he finally belonged to her.

Thinking of the pain she had endured over the years in the name of her love for John, Vivian could not help shedding tears.

She hugged her mother tightly as the back of her eyes stung and burned. As hot tears rolled down her cheeks and into her mouth, she found herself smiling. The salty taste in her mouth was a small price to pay for love and happiness.

"I can't wait to be his wife."

"Yes. My Vivi is going to be Mr. Shi's wife." Julie let go of her daughter and wiped away her tears. "Don't cry. Tears will make you less pretty. You have to be the most beautiful bride in the world."

"Okay." Vivian raised her hand to wipe her tears. "I will be the most beautiful bride in the world."

"Your father is very happy for you. He says he's going to prepare a dowry for you. Your father is a proud man, so he will certainly prepare a rich dowry to let you marry into the Shi family." The more Julie thought about it, the more excited she became. She had been with her daughter in weal and woe. The better treatment her daughter received, the more people would think highly of her.

Vivian said complacently, "Of course he is. After all, I'm going to marry John."

"This is your time, dear. It doesn't matter that Nina's still alive and well on C Island. Mr. Shi's first wife is legally dead now. You will marry him and become his second wife. You will have it better than I did. You will never be called a home-wrecker." The word "home-wrecker" still left a bitter taste in Julie's tongue. She never wanted to be called a home-wrecker even if it was true.

But it did not matter. She was now Mrs. Ye, and people didn't dare to call her a home-wrecker to her face.

Even that ignorant woman Jessica now had to respectfully call her Mrs. Ye. She held the Ye family on the palm of her hand.

"Your father and I are very excited, Vivi. You'll have another shot at taking back Ye Group's power," Julie continued with a sly smile.

"Noah's in Spring City now. He's far away from here, and he's busy dealing with criminals every day. How can he have time to mind the family business? As for Henry, he has broken off his engagement to Vera. Without the support of her family, he can't stand against us. Sooner or later, we will overthrow him."

Julie had always thought that once things went smoothly, it would be easy for her to get rid of anyone who stood in her way.

She talked so excitedly that she ignored her surroundings.

That was why Vivian did not let her mother know about the bug she placed in Jessica's necklace. She was afraid that if her mother spilled the beans one day, she would be in big trouble.

"Mom, keep your voice down. Walls have ears," Vivian whispered and covered her mother's mouth. "There are Henry's spies in the house. Henry is also at home tonight. We'd better be careful."

"Hmm." Julie nodded her understanding. Vivian did not let go of her until she was sure that she would quit talking loudly.
