Penulis: Cat Eat Fish
The footage showed Rowan sitting on the couch, quietly waiting for me. Suddenly, the lounge door opened. He saw something, then got up and walked out.

"It's Vivian!" I practically roared. My nails dug deep into my palms. "It must've been her. She waited until everyone was out front and then had someone take Rowan away!"

Adrian's face went terrifyingly dark, but he still tried to calm me down. "Don't worry. Vivian wouldn't dare do anything to him."

With that, he dialed a number and said icily,

  • Big Sis, You Don't Matter Anymore   Chapter 10

    Mom and Dad's faces were full of despair as their bodies slid off the chairs and onto the floor. Clinging to her last shred of hope, Mom asked anxiously, "What about the baby?"The doctor hesitated for a moment before saying, "The mother's lifestyle during pregnancy was… less than ideal, so the baby isn't in very good condition."He was afraid Mom and Dad wouldn't be able to handle the truth, so he chose his words carefully. Just then, a nurse came out with the baby in her arms.It was a premature infant that weighed less than three pounds and had wrinkled skin. It looked like a tiny kitten. Red blotches covered its whole body, and its hands and feet were twisted into an alarmingly unnatural position.When Mom and Dad saw the baby, they nearly passed out on the spot. Meanwhile, in the delivery room, Vivian was screaming in agony. Her voice was hoarse from the pain.She was on the brink.The doctors and nurses pushed a mobile bed out of the delivery room. Vivian lay on it, and her

    Vivian hadn't taken the baby seriously at first. She was too used to having someone clean up her messes. Or maybe she thought the baby would be like Rowan—existing, but never really affecting her life.However, the truth was, she could barely take care of herself. Years of staying up late, drinking too much, and a messy private life had wrecked her.On top of that, she'd been running out of money. The drop in her quality of life, along with the pregnancy hormones, dragged her whole state down day by day.With no other choice, she had to come back home. And that was how everything that followed began.I guessed that after this whole ordeal, she finally understood just how important money really was. And once she got back, I was sure Mom and Dad had brought up some things about my marriage to Adrian.Vivian wanted to be Adrian's wife so that the baby in her womb would have a proper father, and so her own lifestyle could be secured. But she didn't expect that this time, no one was go

    Marie's face was ice-cold, and the pressure she gave off was suffocating.The moment Vivian saw her, it was like spotting a savior. She completely forgot about Rowan and hurried over to Marie, saying urgently, "Mrs. Sutton Senior, I'm Vivian Cavendish. Do you remember me? I was engaged to Adrian. I'm his real wife!"I couldn't help frowning when I saw her like this. Something about her just felt off. She seemed to be a little too… extreme.Marie's voice cut through my thoughts. "Vivian Cavendish? The name does ring a bell. You're my daughter-in-law's older sister, right?"Her tone wasn't too harsh, but Vivian froze the second she heard that. "No… Adrian and I were dating back then, and we—"Before she could finish, Marie abruptly cut her off. "That's enough. Adrian and Noelle have always been a loving couple. The Sutton family doesn't need another daughter-in-law."Her stance couldn't be clearer.Vivian collapsed weakly to the floor.Most of the Sutton family's businesses were

Vivian wouldn't dare do anything to him."With that, he dialed a number and said icily, "Liam, get over to the Cavendish residence. I want to know where Vivian is right now!"The entire investment conference spiraled into chaos over this sudden turn of events, but Adrian quickly took charge. Part of the team stayed behind to keep things under control, and to the public, they only said that a child had suddenly fallen ill and had been rushed to the hospital.Meanwhile, we brought a group of people with us and drove straight to the Cavendish residence.In the car, my hands were c

    Adrian's presence dropped to freezing in an instant. His dangerous gaze locked onto the tears shimmering in Vivian's eyes. He didn't say a word.After a moment, a few security guards rushed over in a panic. The head of security was drenched in sweat, and he said nervously, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Sutton. This was an oversight on our part. This woman said she knew Mrs. Sutton, so we let her in."Vivian's eyes were full of alarm. "What are you trying to do? I'm Rowan Sutton's biological mother! I'm related to the Suttons by blood!"I snapped coldly, "This is an investment conference. Do you even have an invitation?"My sudden question made her freeze on the spot. I let out a cold laugh at that. "You don't even have an invitation, and you're here kicking up a fuss. Security, take her out of here!"My tone was righteous and unyielding. There were just too many reporters here today. No matter what, I had to protect the Sutton family's reputation. There was simply too much at stake.I wat

    It felt like someone had pressed pause on the noise in the ballroom. All the chatter and the clinking of glasses cut off in an instant. Countless eyes snapped to me, like a spotlight was being trained on me.I caught familiar business partners staring at me, as shock and doubt flashed across their faces. My own employees also whispered among themselves.Even worse, the press covering the investment conference had already turned their cameras on me. Every tiny twitch of my expression was about to be magnified and dissected.I felt the blood rush to my head, only to turn ice-cold a heartbeat later. A chill crept over me all the way to my fingertips and toes.Vivian stood beside Adrian, looking pitiful and wronged, as if she'd been utterly betrayed. She clutched his arm in a death grip. Her voice was shaky with tears, but it was still loud enough for everyone to hear."Adrian, tell them! Tell everyone that we're in love with each other! I just panicked back then because I wasn't read
