Chapter 261
“What’s so special about that old codger Richard? He’s as ugly as a mud fence!”
Percival and Vivienne were truly at a loss.
Were these two geezers mortal enemies in a past life?
Did they love to hate each other in this life?
After seeing Percival and Vivienne hold their peace, Baron reluctantly waved his hand in irritation. “Go on then! That old coot is trying to steal my long–lost granddaughter.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Judith chimed in hurriedly. “Should I have someone prepare a gift?”
“There’s no need; I’ll take care of it myself.” Vivienne replied indifferently.
Judith paused and sighed.
She could clearly sense Vivienne’s cold attitude towards their family.

hardships.
And with Paula’s recent shenanigans since her return, it was only natural that Vivienne
would harbor some resentment.
Judith felt helpless, knowing that all she could do was try to make it up to Vivienne over
time.
