Chapter 1571 Showing Up When There Is Risk

When it finally struck five in the afternoon, Vivian was ready to welcome all the other classmates who would turn up at any time.

She had already changed into a beautiful dress earlier on. When she heard the doorbell ring, she rushed to open the door at once. “Coming!”

“Ah! Lady Adalyn?” She was astounded when the guest and a few cars came into view.

It never occurred to her that the guest who reached the earliest would turn out to be Adalyn. Not to mention, she was the one who had hired Vivian as her personal designer right after she received the award previously.

Deep down, Vivian could not help but wonder. Why is she here?

Adalyn, who was exquisitely dressed, got out of the car and smiled friendlily at Vivian. “I happen to know that you are celebrating your seventeenth birthday today. Thus, I’m here to send you my best wishes. What’s wrong? You don’t seem happy to see me here.”

Undoubtedly, Adalyn was a good-natured and compassionate person. Other than Vivian, all the other students could also sense her great concern toward them throughout the years. Ever since she was involved in the development of the school, she had been voicing her opinions for the sake of the students’ wellbeing. As a result, all of them stood to benefit.

Furthermore, Adalyn had a soft spot for Vivian ever since she gained fame with her victory in her previous competition. Thus, the former had helped her a lot in pursuing her dream as a designer.

“Ah! Of course not! I just didn’t expect that you’d attend my birthday party. Lady Adalyn, please come in!” Vivian welcomed her excitedly.

Her heart leaped with joy when she knew Adalyn was there to attend her birthday party.

Even so, her smile froze when she caught a glimpse of the guests from the other two cars. One of them turned out to be Dwayne, whom she had turned down earlier on.

Meanwhile, the other one was Helena, her so-called mortal enemy!

“Vivian!” Sonia and the others rushed over to stand by her side apprehensively, fearing that Helena might stir up trouble.

Before Vivian came to her senses, Helena had strutted toward them in her heels. Accompanied by two bodyguards, she looked as though she was a queen.

“Vivian Wand, I heard it’s your birthday today. Here’s your birthday present.” Wearing a look of haughty disdain, she handed Vivian a present.

Vivian was rendered speechless.

Right that instant, Dwayne advanced toward them and explained hastily, “Vivian, it’s a coincidence for us to be here. We were at Lady Adalyn’s place a while ago. When she heard that you’re having a birthday celebration, she made up her mind at once to come over together with us.”

Helena snorted. “That’s right! Why else do you think that I would be here if that’s not the case?”

The next moment, an insolent Helena tossed the present to Vivian and entered the villa without sparing them another glance.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Her arrogance sent Sonia and the others into a frenzy.

Meanwhile, Vivian’s frown deepened into a scowl.

Shortly after, something came to her mind as she gazed at the guests in her villa, who obviously outnumbered her expectation. In an instant, her eyes lit up. Since there are more guests than expected, I bet the so-called risk exposure for me will tend to be higher in a way, right? I wonder if he will appear under such a circumstance…

Her heart skipped a beat uncontrollably. As her face was flushed red, she looked down hastily so nobody would sense it.

Ten minutes later, the feast was almost going to start.

“Oh my! Vivi, you’re so beautiful!” one of her classmates gasped in delight.

“Yeah! Vivi, you’re gorgeous like an angel! No doubt, you’re the most beautiful girl among all the new higher education students in our school! You look stunning!” another girl alongside her squealed admiringly.

The guests were flushed with excitement when Vivian emerged amid their anticipation. Dressed in a unique dress that her parents custom made for her with a tiara, everyone was fascinated by her sheer beauty when she walked down the stairs gracefully.

It was as though she was a fairy among the others. Ever since she was in her teenage days, her earlier baby fat seemed to be fading away gradually. Her flawless small face had transformed into a perfectly dainty oval shape. Apart from that, her big round eyes were as shiny as the glittering stars in the sky. The others could barely take their eyes off her when they cast their look on her.

Undoubtedly, she took after both her parents’ good looks, and there were no words to describe her breathtaking beauty.

When all eyes were on her, an instant silence ensued in the whole living room.

All the girls could not resist feeling envious of her and catching their breath.

Green with envy, Helena gritted her teeth. She could not accept that she was suddenly non-comparable to Vivian’s captivating beauty.

Thus, she turned and shot her flaring look at Dwayne, the most eye-catching guy of all. Why is he suddenly back today?

Dwayne had made up a story when he explained to Vivian moments ago how he ended up attending her birthday party with Adalyn. Hmph! Apparently, he visited Lady Adalyn with an ulterior motive! While chatting with her, he brought up the topic of her birthday party intentionally!

Glaring at the young man with his eyes glued to Vivian, Helena felt a surge of intense jealousy within herself. The hint of burning passion in his eyes was driving her insane.

A few minutes later, all the guests huddled over Vivian for her candle-blowing session. Right that instant, Helena stepped out at once when something flashed across her mind. She approached one of the girls and patted her shoulder.

“Ms. Helena?” the girl turned and called out in bafflement.

“Did you see the decorative statue over there in the living room? I need you to do something for me. When the light is off for her candle-blowing session later, I want you to push it down!” Helena instructed coldly.

Horror-stricken, the girl’s eyes widened in fear. “M-Ms. Helena?”

Even so, Helena was blinded by her intense jealousy. There was merely the hint of ghastly ferocity in her eyes.
