Chapter 490
Her phone rang again.
Vivian Bennett looked at the number flashing on the screen and frowned slightly.
She hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
A man's low and urgent voice came through the phone.
"Vivian, it's Uncle Albert."
"I heard something happened to you yesterday?"
Vivian's heart tightened.
Her fingers gripping the phone turned pale.
"Uncle Albert, how did you know?"
Albert Sullivan did not answer her question.
He just sighed, his voice filled with concern.
"Are you alright? Were you hurt?"
This sudden concern made Vivian feel uneasy.
She pressed her lips together and responded softly.
"Uncle Albert, I'm fine. Thank you."
"Oh, that's good then."
Albert Sullivan hung up immediately after saying that.
It was brief and to the point.
Vivian looked at the dark screen and looked up to meet Liam Sullivan's intense gaze.
She smiled awkwardly.
"Your uncle suddenly called to ask about yesterday."
"He specifically asked if I was hurt."
Liam's eyes darkened.
His expression remained neutral, his tone flat.
"My uncle has always been a bit eccentric."
"You know that."
Vivian recalled Albert's previous strange behaviors.
They were indeed baffling.
She shook her head and stopped overthinking it, returning to her game.
Liam watched her focused profile.
His gaze gradually softened.
As long as she was by his side, that was enough.
Julian Klein looked at the documents in his hand, his brow furrowed.
His father had suddenly decided to return to the country.
The time was set for this September.
September in Seattle.
What did it mean to his father?
What could make a man who had been away for so many years suddenly decide to return?
He put down the documents, his eyes scanning the news on the desk.
A dispute report from a certain hotel caught his attention.
Vivian's face appeared in his mind.
He pressed the intercom.
"Eugene, investigate what happened at that hotel yesterday."
"Focus on whether it has anything to do with Vivian Bennett."
Eugene was silent for a moment on the other end.
"Young master, the old master has already denied it."
"Why are you so fixated on an outsider?"
Julian's tone was firm.
"Investigate it."
Eugene had no choice but to agree.
The investigation results came out quickly.
Vivian's name had been deliberately concealed.
But he still managed to uncover the truth through internal channels.
Julian pressed urgently.
"Was she hurt?"
Eugene sighed.
"Young master, why do you care so much about someone unrelated?"
"She probably just got a little scared."
Julian's gaze was deep.
"I don't think she's an outsider."
"She looks exactly like the woman in father's painting."
Eugene couldn't help but refute.
"There are many people who look alike in the world."
"The old master also said that based on her age, it's impossible for her to be related to him."
Julian's lips curved slightly.
"When father arrives in Seattle."
"Everything will become clear."
