Zachary watched as the three of them walked away from him. His handsome features drooped. “Not even a thank you.”


    He settled himself into the car.


    Inside the luxurious car, there was an old man with a head full of gray hair. “You good–for- nothing brat,” he scolded. “Don’t you know how to chase after a woman if she says no the first time? Have you never heard of ‘persistence“?”


    The speaker was Zachary’s grandfather. He had truly poured his heart and soul into arranging Zachary’s marriage.


    If Zachary had not casually mentioned the note written by Jonathan about looking for his father, the old man would have been none the wiser.


    However, once he had heard about it, he had insisted that Zachary rush over to them. He had even threatened Zachary that if he did not do as he was told, he would not live to see tomorrow’s sun rise.


    That was the reason why Zachary had suddenlye to the rescue.


    “Do I seem like the kind of person who doesn’t know how to take a hint?” Zachary retorted.


    The old man picked up his walking stick and waved it menacingly at Zachary: “Listen to me! I’ve set my heart on having Vivian as my granddaughter–inw. No matter what it takes, you must marry her.”


    After he had firstid eyes on Vivian, he had immediately ordered his men to investigate the girl. Her background had been found to be clean and faultless.


    After having her practicing certificate revoked, she had not fallen into despair. Even when she was reduced to a regr secretary, she had worked diligently.


    However, the most important point was that he believed Vivian would be able to control his grandson.


    Zachary could notprehend what his grandfather saw in Vivian, but he agreed with his assessment.


    At the same time, after sessfully resolving the matter, Mason went back to report the results to Nathaniel.


    Upon Cecilia and the others arriving home, they still could not understand how and why Zachary had shown up at the wedding ceremony.


    Suddenly, Vivian recalled that Jonathan had told herst week that he would help her find a man who was even better than Ernest.


    She turned to Jonathan and asked, “Jon, is Zachary the man that you were talking about?”


    Jonathan hastily shook his head. “Of course not.”


    “So, where’s this special man you’ve found?” Vivian asked.


    Jonathan found himself at a loss for words.


    Cecilia felt puzzled as she listened to the conversation between the two of them.


    “What do you mean by ‘special man?”


    Upon being questioned by Cecilia, the two of them were instantly too afraid to respond.


    However, under Cecilia’s stern gaze, they quickly confessed.


    It was then that Cecilia discovered that Jonathan had often visited the Elite Club, a ce frequented by the wealthy young elites. Zachary, too, frequented the club.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    “Perhaps Zachary saw Jon and intercepted him when Jon was at the Elite Club,” Cecilia analyzed.


    After speaking, her face turned serious. “Jon, Vivian, how could you two go behind my back like this? What if you ended up with a conman?”


    Vivian and Jonathan listened in silence, not daring to utter a word.


    Cecilia was terrifying when she got angry.


    Vivian was touched when she thought about how Ceci had angrily confronted Greta on her behalf earlier that day.


    She wrapped her arms around Cecilia’s waist: “Ceci, what would I have done without you?”


    Cecilia had wanted to nag them some more, but as Vivian embraced her, she could not bear to scold her any longer.


    “You silly goose.”


    Friendship, to her, was all about mutual support. She firmly believed that if she ever found herself in trouble, Vivian would undoubtedly stand up for her as well,


    Jonathan, the clever boy, quickly seized the opportunity to chime in and say, “Mommy, I can’t live without you either! I’ll listen to your words from now on.”


    Cecilia’s heart had softened. All her anger at the two of them melted away immediately.


    Secretly, Jonathan made a note to himself to learn how to act cute and charming from Elliot for situations like this.


    That night, Cecilia and Jonathan slept over at Vivian’s home.


    Over at the Rainsworth residence, Elena, who had sent her people to congratte Ernest on his wedding, just learnt about themotion that had urred at the ceremony.


    “So, you’re saying that Vivian took Jonathan with her and imed him to be Zachary’s son?”


    Elena clearly remembered Zachary telling her that there had been a mistake and that the child. was not his.


    So, she had assumed that Jonathan Ernest and Vivian’s son.


    It doesn’t make sense! If the child was Ernest’s or Zachary’s, why would his surname be Smith?


    The secretary went on to say, “Ms. Smith was there as well, and she really chewed out Greta.”
