Lyndsey was a little unhappy, but she tried to convince herself that Vivian just made a slip of the tongue.
Trying to fish for more information, she patiently asked, "Is there anyone else in your family besides your father and mother? Perhaps, a brother or a sister?"
Since Maria was going to replace Vivian to marry Anthony, the Jenkins family had no choice but to publicly admit her identity.
Knowing this, Vivian nodded.
"Yes.I do have an elder sister."
There wasn't the least excitement in Vivian's tone.
In fact, there was even a hint of disapproval in it, as if she didn't want to admit that she actually had a sibling.
As an observant and smart woman, Lyndsey immediately noticed this, making her eyes narrow slightly.
Why would she say it that way? Were they not happy that Maria was there? Or rather, were they giving Maria a hard time as her new family? Thinking that it might be the case, Lyndsey felt heartbroken.
Of course, she couldn't just jump to any conclusions.
Hence, she decided to confirm what the situation was.
Out of nowhere, Lyndsey said, "Oh, aren't you lucky? I'm an only child, and I've always wanted a sister.So tell me, what kind of person is your elder sister? Do you get along well with her?"
At first, assuming that Lyndsey was getting interested in her, Vivian's heart began to race.She thought that Lyndsey was trying to be friends with her.
Of course, this was an opportunity that Vivian wouldn't let slip her hands.
However, after hearing the latter part of Lyndsey's sentence, Vivian's heart sank.
In the end, it was still about Maria.
Why was everyone more interested in her sister? it was such a hard pill to swallow.
"My elder sister? She grew up in a small town near the countryside and didn't receive a good education.It pains me to say it, but she is practically uneducated and very rude.Right after she moved into our house here in Sheffield, we started losing things at home..."
Vivian was actually referring to the incidents involving Jadee and the flour.
Although Maria's name was cleared in both instances, Vivian didn't care about the truth.
In her mind, Maria would always be the troublemaker.
Moreover, speaking ill of her sister could always make her tremendously happy, so she would continue to do so.
However, when Lyndsey heard this, she immediately felt that something was wrong.
After all, it didn't make sense.
Why would someone like Maria, a very intellectual person, steal things from the Jenkins family? It was ridiculous and plainly laughable.
Besides, the Jenkins family couldn't even be compared to the really wealthy and influential families.
A famous author of several masterpieces coveting things from an average family? Lyndsey would bet her life that it wasn't true.
What kind of treasure could they possibly own to make Maria do such a thing? Furthermore, even if Maria happened to be short on money, Jeremy would always be willing to provide her with whatever she needed.
That was just common sense.
After all, Yeez Entertainment's success today was entirely due to the author Mia.
She entrusted her magnificent works to Jeremy, and he did his best to give justice in directing these strokes of genius.
Because of Maria, Yeez Entertainment eventually became the leader in the domestic film and television industry.
Behind it all, Jeremy owed everything to her.
"Hey, Lyndsey.Can I add you on WhatsApp?" Vivian asked fawningly while quickly taking her phone out of her bag.
She was so focused on getting it that she didn't notice that Lyndsey's face had already turned ice cold.
Lyndsey cast a disdainful glance at Vivian and had lost respect for her.
"Let's go."
Acting like she didn't hear what Vivian said just now, Lyndsey called her friends and started walking away.
The three men were sensible enough to instantly realize the change in Lyndsey's mood.
They could clearly see with their eyes how disgusted she was with Vivian.
Right after taking her phone out, Vivian was stunned to see Lyndsey and her friends leave abruptly.She furrowed her brows, not knowing what was going on.She thought that they were having a good conversation just now.
What made Lyndsey suddenly leave? In her denial, Vivian assumed that Lyndsey just had something important to deal with.She wouldn't sulk just because of that.
After all, it was normal for famous celebrities to have a hectic schedule.
She still concluded that Lyndsey made friends with her and that from now on, she was on another level compared to other ordinary actresses.
Believing her own wishful thinking, Vivian watched Lyndsey's back with a bright smile on her face.
At the same time, several guests had seen the scene just now.
They weren't able to hear their conversation, so some misunderstood as well.
They assumed that Vivian and Lyndsey had a close relationship.
One of these people was Malan Davis, who accosted Vivian earlier.
At this time, he had put on a more courteous smile while holding a glass of wine.
He thought of seizing this opportunity to approach Vivian again.
However, when Vivian's eyes inadvertently wandered towards the entrance of the banquet hall, she happened to see a very familiar figure.
It was Maria.
She couldn't help but grit her teeth, thinking about why her sister was in this kind of event.
