From Divorce To Dominance

Vivian was so mad that she stopped smiling. She couldn't even pretend to be cool. Shet nodded with a stern face and gritted her teeth, thinking, 'How dare you be so arrogant, Natalie? Even the most famous people can be negatively affected by this issue. Do you think you can get over it? Now everyone is very curious about your sugar daddies, and they hate women like you. You have neither a professional PR team nor the experience to deal with this kind of thing. You'll be done tomorrow! Thinking of this, Vivian felt much more relieved. She was a rising star in the entertainment industry. She did not need to argue with a nobody whose popularity was rapidly declining.

She thought, 'Go ahead if she wants to make things worse. Darren is going to know how embarrassing his ex-wife is.

for a a moment, then poured Darren a glass of wine.

t then, Henry, who had been silent, said with concern, "Are you sure you can handle it yourself, Natalie?"

a big fan of Sweet Love, he noticed immediately what everyone was talking about on the internet.

He believed that she could handle it herself, so he didn't ask her about it. However, he still worried about her.

"Yeah. It's no big deal." Natalie sounded relaxed, not caring about it at all.

Seeing this, Henry felt relieved. However, he still reminded her, "Fine, I believe you, but if you need help, you can call Darren directly!

"Darren." Henry glared at him with a warning look. "Don't come back home if you can't help Natalic solve this issue!"

Darren said with a blank face, "You're so nice to me, Grandpa."

"Do you have any problem with that?" Henry glared at him and said, "You should be grateful that you're the only child of the Luther family. Otherwise, I would have kicked you out of the house." Darren seemed a little speechless. "Why? I did nothing wrong."

"Just looking at you makes me angry!" Henry almost lost his temper. He thought that

his biggest mistake was hurting Natalie, which caused her to leave him. Therefore, he snorted and added. "You pi**d me off

Darren didn't know what to say. He raised his head, saying nothing. When he lowered his head again and continued to eat, he saw the wine Vivian poured him, but he didn't. drink it. After dinner, Natalie helped Henry to the couch while Darren was going upstairs.

Henry stopped him and said, "Give Natalie's phone back to her. I'm introducing some good men to her"

Darren looked unhappy. He took out the phone reluctantly and said, "You don't have to ret Rafael a stepfather so quickly, Grandpa

"Why not?" Henry glared at him. "I should have done this earlier. Rafael can get to know his stepfather from now on, and they'll be close to each other soon. What do you think. Natalie Natalie nodded and clicked on her WhatsApp account. "You're right, Grandpa Henry. Hurry up and tell me who these excellent men are."

Her urgent tone made Darren very angry.

Instead of going upstairs, Darren sat on the couch and stared at them.

He saw Natalie add those men on WhatsApp and the smile on her face grew bigger. He pursed his lips angrily until Natalie's phone rang. She nodded at Henry and picked up the phone.

After a few seconds, she looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "Alright. I'm coming out."

When

she hung up the phone, Henry asked, "What's wrong? Are you leaving?"

"It's already eight o'clock in the evening." Natalie explained, "Grandpa Henry, I have to go home. My son....

Noticing that Vivian was coming out of the kitchen, she corrected her words. "My parents are waiting for me at home. I'll come here next week, to cook you salmon if I have time."

Henry knew what she was talking about, so he didn't stop her.

"Are you going home, Ms. Xavier?" Vivian happened to hear their conversation as she

approached. "Why don't you stay a l little longer?"

"It's time to sleep Natalie smiled gently and said, "See you, Grandpa Henry"

Vivian was about to nod when Darren interrupted her, "You should leave too. I'm walking you out."Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

He sounded impatient, leaving her no chance to say no.

Although Vivian was reluctant, she smiled, held his arms, and said, "Okay. I may need you to drive me home, Darren."

Natalie knew that Vivian was showing off, so she glanced at her indifferently, saying nothing.

The three of them left the villa together.

The summer night breeze was both soft and cool.

Since Vivian hit a dead end with Natalie, she ignored her and kept talking to Darren. "Don't back out of what you promised me during dinner." She looked up at him with a bright smile. "My fans are looking forward to it!" Darren nodded slightly.

Vivian said, "By the way, I haven't chosen a wedding dress for our wedding. Can you come to the wedding dress store with me next week? Hannah gave me a few recommendations but I don't like them.

"Can you convince Alex to sell his last piece of work to me through your connections, Darren?" Vivian said with a sigh, "He suddenly became famous three years ago, left behind a single work, and then quickly disappeared. "His only work still holds the top spot on the wedding dress charts. Many people tried to buy it but never reached him. If you can get me that wedding dress, Darren, I'll be the happiest woman in the world!" Darren didn't think wedding dresses mattered. Instead, he didn't give a d**n about it, so he said, "Okay."

"You're so good to me, Darren!" Vivian exclaimed, feeling moved. Then she glanced at Natalie, only to find that she was chatting with someone on her phone.

She was smiling as if she didn't hear Vivian or care how close she and Darren were. Vivian thought disdainfully, 'She must be pretending.

Good men like Darren are rare and hard to get. Natalie should feel grateful that she could once marry him. She must be sad about their divorce.

She might seem very calm, but I bet that she's crying inside and that pretending to be decent all night must have been really tough for her

Vivian suddenly had a mischievous idea. She said in a sweet voice, "Who are you chatting with. Ms. Xavier?"

Natalic turned to look at her but didn't answer. She didn't think it was necessary to explain it to her. "What's wrong?" she asked. Natalie shook and asked, "Have you heard about Alex?"

Vivian smiled

head.

Natalie shook her head.

Vivian was instantly shocked. "I can't believe that you know nothing about him, Ms. Xavier. He's quite famous. You're wealthy and have a good taste in fashion. How could you not know him?" Natalie asked in confusion, "Do I need to know him?"

"Of course!" Vivian said, "He has an excellent sense of aesthetics and great talent. He was once very popular and is still loved by many women. His only wedding dress is called the Last Romance. I want to find him and buy that dress. You can't imagine how beautiful it is!" "I see," replied Natalie, completely uninterested.

The more indifferent she was, the surer Vivian was that she was crying inside.

Vivian took out her phone, found Alex's Twitter account, and showed Natalie the only picture on his profile. "This is the dress he designed. It's called Wings of Dreams. Isn't it pretty?"

Natalie was stunned upon seeing the picture.
