Noah was surprised to see Vivian. He easily spotted the caution in her eyes.
This was precisely the reason why he was reluctant to tell his family that he was back. Both Julie and Vivian seemed to assume that he was planning to take the family properties for himself when in fact, he just wanted to be a good policeman.
He couldn't help but feel like a failure when his biological father was dissatisfied with him. He didn't even seem to like him.
Only Kristina cared about him.
She took charge of the Ye Group and controlled half of the Ye family's assets. She did all of this just for him.
Unfortunately, Noah might just end up disappointing Kristina. He had a very different idea of how he intended to live his life.
Inheriting such a large family business and so much property was not for him.
"Come in," Noah said coolly, putting on a pleasant smile.
It wasn't until then that Vivian realized her mistake. She gathered herself and politely nodded at Noah, smiling. "Noah, I'm here to visit Auntie."
Noah turned to let her in.
When she saw Nina, shock registered on her face. "Nina, what are you doing here?"
Her
ther. He chimed in, "Nini and Mr. Shi are just kidding. I'll take care of Aunt while Mr. Shi watches over Nini. Vivian, nothing you've experienced in your life has prepared you for this. You don't know how to take care of them anyway.
When Aunt wakes up, you can stay with her for a while. Then you can go home and tell your parents that she's fine."
"Okay." Vivian purposely avoided Noah's gaze. He'd always been nice to her.
Unfortunately, she had no choice but to go against him. If she didn't, she and her mother would not be able to get any properties. The good life they'd been dreaming of would just vanish.
She had already gotten used to living a comfortable life. She'd rather die than go back to being poor.
Hearing what Noah said, Nina figured she should be a little nicer to Vivian. After all, she was Noah's sister.
Noah wouldn't hesitate to swoop in and defend Nina if she was being mistreated.
However, Nina's sudden silence angered John.
He couldn't stand that Nina was being nice to Noah.
"I'm not kidding," John said coldly. It didn't take a genius to figure out that he was aiming at Noah and Vivian.
