The One Percent Wife CHAPTER 16
“Who was it? Who leaked it?” Vivienne's quiet question seemed to linger in the air.She was so focused on Alfred's messages that she didn't notice Anthony standing behind her.“Bad news?” he asked, a hint of concern in his voice.Vivienne locked her phone and turned around. “Nothing I can't handle.”Anthony adjusted his glasses. “You don’t have to handle everything yourself. You can use my help. Aren’t we best friends?”She studied him for a moment. “That was fourteen years ago.”Vivienne's expression softened a fraction, though she quickly concealed it by reaching for her wineglass.“You should be careful, Anthony. If you keep saying things like that, people might think you care about me.”“People?” He leaned closer, lowering his voice. “I'm more concerned about what you think.”Before Vivienne could answer, a chair scraped against the ground beside them.Harry Wellington came over, carrying two glasses of sparkling water. He placed one in front of Vivienne and kept the other for him

Vivienne wasn’t expecting this at all.She smiled, not with ease but with a bit of annoyance. Why did Regan send a bouquet now of all times?Everyone was staring at her, and she could feel their gazes weighing down on her.Her aunt was slightly shaking her head, giving her the signal to not accept it.Vivienne also had the same thought. As Regan’s ex-wife, she did not want to accept this bouquet that seemed romantic. However, she wanted to make sure if Regan sent this bouquet as her ex-husband or as a member of the Cross family.In the end, she decided to pluck one flower out of the bouquet. “This is enough.”The bodyguard smiled, then pulled out an envelope from the bouquet and put it forward.Vivienne paused for a moment. She saw Teresa getting up to grab the envelope, so she immediately plucked it from the bodyguard’s hand.“Can you open it and read it aloud for us?” Teresa asked, almost leaking out a cheeky smile.Vivienne, however, looked up at Anthony. “Do you smoke?”“U-Uh…” An

“So tell us, Miss Penn. What exactly have you earned for you to be sitting at the head of the table?”Marissa’s question surprised many, especially those who weren’t acquainted with her.Marissa couldn’t hide her own smile. She must be really proud of herself for putting Vivienne in a troublesome spot.Vivienne’s eyes shifted toward those sitting at nearby tables.Teresa, who had just joined her table, was watching eagerly. Harry watched with interest, whereas Lionel observed silently.Brienne seemed worried, but she deliberately did not intervene.Speaking in Vivienne’s stead might do more damage to Vivienne’s reputation, so Vivienne understood why Brienne didn’t speak for her.Everyone was waiting for her to defend her right to be there, even though she owned everything.Vivienne took a sip of wine at her own pace.“I can see where you’re coming from, Mrs. Marissa,” Vivienne said. “Unlike my father, I haven’t earned your respect. At least not yet.”Marissa kept smiling but not much.

Anthony’s gaze sharpened at the manager’s words. “What did you say?” His fists tightened.But before he could question the man further, Vivienne touched his arm."Leave him alone, Anthony. He only followed instructions."Anthony loosened his fist, then looked at his cousins and family members and slightly frowned in disappointment as most of them didn’t seem to be feeling bad for what had happened to Vivienne.She was the reason this dinner party was arranged, yet she was not reserved a spot at the centermost table?Anthony felt angry at himself for not checking the seating arrangements beforehand.Just then, Harry came over and offered his hand, “Miss Vivienne, please come and sit with me.”Anthony was startled. He wanted to stop Harry, but he didn’t want to fight in front of so many eyes.Vivienne looked at Harry for a couple of seconds, then walked past him.Anthony felt greatly relieved, and he even smiled at Harry and quietly followed Vivienne.Harry did not feel offended by Vivi
The One Percent Wife CHAPTER 12
The Penn family held a welcome party for Vivienne.She was yet to officially become the new CEO of the Penn group, and her uncle David was yet to return. Yet, her aunt Brienne insisted that Vivienne form bonds within the rich circles.It was simply an outdoor dinner party. So, only the close billionaires, politicians, celebrities, bankers, old family allies, corporate partners, and young heirs were invited.The Wellingtons, the Harringtons, and the Kenshins were also among the attendees.A separate dining table was arranged for every family and guest.After Brienne gave a speech and told everyone to start eating, many people started eating without any hesitation.Harry, however, did not touch the knife and fork.Teresa walked over to his table. “Harry, you’re sitting alone. Food doesn’t taste well if you eat alone.”Harry smiled a little. “Who told you that, Ms. Teresa?”Teresa sat down next to him, and a waiter served her food right away. “Are you really going to help Vivienne with t

Thanks to Brienne’s support, the board meeting went more smoothly than Vivienne expected.Nevertheless, she faced opposition from two parties: Marissa Scott and Lionel Ray.Both of them were big billionaires themselves, who combinedly owned twelve percent of the company.Those two were also among the suspects Vivienne had investigated after mother’s accident about fifteen years back.They openly questioned Vivienne’s credentials.“You do not even have a college degree,” Marissa said. She was chubby but well-dressed and looked dignified. “You have no idea how things actually work here. You’re the least qualified to sit in that chair after your father and uncle.”“Do you also think the same, Mr. Lionel?” Vivienne asked him.“I don’t care about qualifications, but respect depends on reciprocity,” Lionel said. He was nearly seventy years old and was the oldest man in the room, and also the only elderly person who didn’t bother dyeing their hair black. “As long as you prove your ability, y
