Chapter 23 Vivienne Moves Into Crownvale Estates
Eliza saw the confidence flickering in Vivienne’s eyes again, and she gritted her teeth in anger.
She noticed a children’s camera on the ground and asked, “Is this a gift for Lucy?
“Lucy complained to me days ago that her mother didn’t give her a birthday gift.
“But this gift is quite strange. Lucy doesn’t like children’s cameras, and it doesn’t seem to be from Corelynx Technologies.”
Sebastian glanced over and realized it was a product from Lunaris Technologies.
The two companies had similar core businesses, but Lunaris Technologies consistently lagged behind Corelynx Technologies n performance.
It was said in the industry that Lunaris Technologies was preparing for bankruptcy and restructuring.
Vivienne bought a product from Lunaris Technologies. It meant she might have financial problems, or she just tried to leliberately annoy Sebastian.
Sebastian thought Vivienne must be disappointed, because he wouldn’t be annoyed at all…
Vivienne recovered her senses from her daughter’s attitude and coldly glanced at them, bending down to pick up the watch ind camera.
ucinda ran over and kicked the camera away.
Vivienne was furious. “Lucinda, pick that up.”
No way, I don’t want your rubbish.”
ucinda glared at Vivienne with a pout, holding Sebastian’s hand and Eliza’s hand, walking away.
ebastian took a few steps, then pretended to casually turn his head around and glance at Vivienne.
Vivienne’s brows were furrowed, her lips tightly pursed, looking like she wanted to beat Lucinda, but she finally held back.
he was buried in ruins for too long back then, and after giving birth to Lucinda, she heard the news of the death of her arents. It hit her hard, so her health was irreversibly damaged.
.ucinda was the only child she had in this life.
she would definitely come back for Lucinda.
Sebastian smiled with confidence, as if everything was in his control.
Vivienne picked up the camera and wiped it clean.
Watching Lucinda’s smug back, she felt disappointed and sad. She closed her eyes.

tenne Moves Into Crownvale Estates
Since her own child hated her, Vivienne could only pretend she never had a child.
In the Whitford’s villa.
Celina never went to Vivienne’s new place. This new house belonged only to Vivienne herself.
She specially picked out two sets of bedding that her grandfather prepared for her when she got married.
It was a brand called Fretta from Moldit. Celina had Philip put them in the car.
She also bought some houseplants.
Knowing Vivienne couldn’t cook, Celina spent the whole afternoon making beef pies and baked shrimp toast.
She packed them separately in food containers.
She planned to freeze them in the fridge upon arriving at Vivienne’s house.
When Vivienne got hungry, she could just reheat and eat them. The food Celina made was enough for Vivienne to eat for a
week.
She would make more food and deliver it to Vivienne a week later.
Celina changed her clothes and left the house happily.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Jonathan coming back from outside.
“Where are you going?”
Jonathan rarely cared about Celina, never taking her seriously.
Celina hid the containers on her back.
“Just go buy something.”
Jonathan walked towards Celina. “What are you going to buy? You have to go yourself?”
Celina stepped back. “Grandpa’s birthday is next month, and I’m going to pick out a gift.”
E
“Oh? Really?” Jonathan lowered his eyes.
Celina was not good at lying. Her face flushed, and even her neck got red.
She didn’t dare to look into Jonathan’s eyes, and she didn’t like being close to him.
He was a playboy, smelling of women’s perfume.
Γ
Go ahead, but you must be back for dinner.”
Celina wanted to say she wouldn’t be back for dinner.
But Jonathan wouldn’t allow it.
Although their marriage was just a contract, Jonathan was controlling, so she had to listen to him.
Celina walked out with her hands behind her back, taking small steps to go outside.
Once outside, she started to run.
Jonathan lit a cigarette, glanced at the driver, and nodded towards Celina’s back. “Follow her.”
Celina was strange. Jonathan was sure she was going to see Vivienne.
Just as he entered the house, he saw Philip carrying houseplants to the BMW.
And Celina was carrying the food containers.
She only cared deeply for her grandfather and Vivienne.
Vivienne, that crazy woman, might have a new place to live.
Vivienne opened a bottle of red wine to wait for Celina.
She didn’t drink much, and could only drink two small glasses, so she didn’t decant too much wine.
Someone buzzed the intercom, and through the video screen, it was the property manager and the housekeeper.
Vivienne opened the door.
The two greeted her with standard etiquette, showing their perfect smile, bowing to Vivienne.
“Ms. Lancaster, Welcome to Crownvale Estates. We are committed to providing you with the best service.
“These are the cooking ingredients you requested. We’ll always deliver to your door for free. The cutlery is in the pink bag.
“Additionally, here are various entertainment vouchers for Crownvale Estates, including movie tickets, bars, gym memberships, archery, boxing, badminton, tennis, dance, piano and violin lessons, buffet, French dining, Thai cuisine…”
The property manager spoke in one breath. His face was even blushing.
He was unable to continue because there were too many activities they provided.
In fact, Vivienne knew about Crownvale Estates before.
L
The 300-square-meter apartment was equipped with Corelynx Technologies’ smart home system and robots.
If an elderly person fell at home, the alarm would automatically connect to the property’s smart center.
In summary, the service was high-end and very impressive.
No outsider could get in, so Vivienne went downstairs to pick up Celina.
Celina arrived at Vivienne’s place, hastily freezing the food in the fridge.
Then she looked for suitable spots to place the houseplants.
She set up the bedding for Vivienne.
Without even taking a break on the couch, Celina was about to leave.
t
Vivienne felt reluctant, but she understood Celina’s difficult situation and didn’t ask her to stay.
She put the watch in Celina’s bag.
After saying goodbye, she stood alone in the unfamiliar but beautiful environment for a moment before heading to her building.
The lights of the children’s play area were dazzling.
A few kids were playing on the swings.
She was drawn to the back of a cute little girl.
It was strange. Vivienne only met Harriett three times, but she recognized Harriett just by her back.
Vivienne walked over and called out, “Hattie.”
Harriett looked up with lively eyes, seeing Vivienne with a new hairstyle, her eyes shone with excitement.
‘Vivienne?
‘Dad, come here quickly! Vivienne is here!”
