After Divorce: Remarried to a Tycoon with Twin Babies-Chapter 19: Catching Mother-in-Law’s Secret Rendezvous!

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Catching Mother-in-Law’s Secret Rendezvous!

Mrs. Archer: "I can’t say for sure."

"It’s quite unusual for her to endure such grievances yesterday, which isn’t like her usual self."

Old Madam Grant: "Go, instruct Pinnacle Bank not to let her discover anything!"

Vivian Sinclair’s car had already been delivered back.

Just as it happened, Jasmine had just gotten her driver’s license, and she volunteered to be the driver.

On the way to the teahouse, Jasmine told Vivian Sinclair about some anomalies from last night.

"Young Madam, yesterday, Mrs. Grant and the Young Master were whispering in the study for two hours."

"It’s strange because Mrs. Grant wasn’t usually allowed to stay in the study for so long before."

"Moreover, they shut all the doors and windows tightly yesterday and didn’t allow anyone to enter or exit, so I couldn’t find out what they were talking about."

Vivian Sinclair grasped a key point: "Are you saying that Lillian Rivers was not allowed to access or even use the study before?"

Jasmine: "Yes."

"In the Grant Family, only the Master and the Young Master could use the study."

"Even Old Madam Grant rarely went in."

Since getting married, Vivian Sinclair rarely stayed overnight at the old mansion, so she wasn’t aware of this before.

"So last night it was Theodore Grant who permitted it."

What major matter were the mother and son discussing that they even made an exception for the study?

However, Theodore Grant permitted it but did not personally participate!

Considering the unusual behavior of Lillian Rivers and Austin Grant together, Vivian Sinclair was sure they were discussing a big secret, perhaps even... a conspiracy!

But what kind of secret could cause such a change in their attitudes... a thought quickly flashed through Vivian Sinclair’s mind.

Old Madam!

It must be related to Old Madam!

Lillian Rivers endured being slapped yesterday.

Even Austin Grant didn’t lose face after his head was hit.

Everything happened because it was in front of Old Madam!

Austin Grant even showed goodwill to himself in front of Old Madam, even accompanying himself to have breakfast with Old Madam; all this was because of Old Madam’s presence.

They wanted to please Old Madam, so they all pretended to be good daughters-in-law and filial grandsons!

"There must be something on Grandma that they want."

Vivian Sinclair murmured, and Jasmine listened, confused.

"But isn’t Old Madam’s health already... just waiting for the days?"

"And after Old Madam is gone, won’t everything be theirs?"

"Why are they in a hurry now?"

This was also what Vivian Sinclair didn’t understand.

Grandma said that if she doesn’t mention divorcing Austin while alive, she would leave a third of her inheritance to her.

At that time, Vivian Sinclair agreed not for the money.

Because she also didn’t know how much money Old Madam Grant would have.

But it wouldn’t make sense even if it were because of the inheritance.

The Grant Family currently has assets worth billions; an ordinary asset wouldn’t be enough for them to go to such lengths to obtain.

For the time being, Vivian Sinclair couldn’t understand it, so she decided to let it go for now.

It just seemed that from now on, she would have to be more vigilant in the Grant Family to live peacefully.

Vivian Sinclair reached for her slightly bulging belly, and thought in her heart: Baby, be patient and wait for mommy a few more months.

Mommy will gather more evidence and ensure those who bullied mommy receive due punishment. Once mommy gets what’s rightfully hers, mommy will take you far away to live a good life for the three of us!

Having this hope in her heart, Vivian Sinclair’s mood also became somewhat more relaxed.

It wasn’t until they reached their destination that Jasmine realized that the Young Madam really owned a teahouse!

And it was a five-story, quite large teahouse!

However, neither The Sinclair Family nor The Grant Family knew that Vivian Sinclair owned a teahouse.

Of course, they wouldn’t pay attention to such a small business.

Initially, this teahouse was a birthday gift Vivian Sinclair intended for her brother, Elias Sinclair’s thirtieth birthday.

It was meant to provide him with a convenient place for leisure and business, and a hidden retreat in his spare time.

But just before Elias Sinclair’s birthday, Vivian Sinclair’s background was exposed.

Elias Sinclair looked at her with coldness and disdain.

Later, he said words that Vivian Sinclair found unbearable.

So naturally, the gift was never given.

When Vivian Sinclair moved out of The Sinclair Family, she left behind a bank card with twenty million as repayment for her years in The Sinclair Family.

The money was what she had secretly accumulated over the years, and all her earnings and savings.

She left herself only this teahouse as a way out.

Unexpectedly, it truly became her last refuge now.

Fortunately, the teahouse business was doing quite well, and Vivian Sinclair had quickly built her little nest egg.

The teahouse’s décor is very high-end.

Inside, it mainly offers tea tasting, chess and card games, and business transactions.

At first glance, it is a high-class venue, not a place where regular people frequently come to spend money.

Vivian Sinclair brings Jasmine to the manager, Patrick Powell, "Arrange a single room dormitory for her where she can study and rest."

Moved by this, Jasmine instantly says, knowing she must not bring disgrace to Young Madam, "Brother Powell, if there’s anything you need me to do in the future, just tell me."

Brother Powell is a shrewd businessman.

"How could I dare? You’re the first young lady brought here by Miss Vivian!"

"You just learn well here."

Enthusiastically, he introduces Jasmine to the inside and outside of the teahouse, finally mentioning the room at the easternmost end of the fifth floor.

"That is the boss’s forbidden area."

"No one is allowed to enter except the boss himself, including you. Understand?"

At this moment, Vivian Sinclair is in room 515 at the easternmost end of the fifth floor.

The entire room bears the marks of her creations.

One whole wall is covered with paintings.

There are also semi-finished pieces covered with dust and draped in canvas.

The floor is strewn with paint and brushes.

And on the white desk lies her new design, which she completed just a few days ago—a set of luxurious and stunning jewelry.

Especially customized for Zoe Monroe.

Just as Vivian picks it up, she receives a call from Tina.

"Vivian, I’ve arrived."

Vivian instructs someone to bring Tina to a private room on the second floor.

At the corner between the fourth and third floors, Vivian spots a figure that shouldn’t be there.

Lillian Rivers?

Wait, if Lillian Rivers is here, doesn’t that mean Uncle Tanner is here too?

Vivian immediately takes out her phone and sends a text to Jasmine: Your dad is here, hide.

After considering it for a moment, Vivian asks Patrick Powell to come see her.

In the private room, Tina Archer greets Vivian Sinclair with a big hug.

"Quick, let me see what great masterpiece our talented Vivi has designed this time!"

Excitedly, Tina takes the design to the side, while Vivian waits for Patrick Powell to arrive.

"Miss Vivian, the person you just mentioned is in room 312 on the third floor."

Vivian Sinclair: "Can we eavesdrop? I want to know what they’re talking about."

Patrick Powell glances at Tina, who is completely oblivious to this side, and quietly says, "You know the soundproofing in each private room is excellent."

"There’s only one way—to openly listen at the door."

Vivian Sinclair: "Get me a uniform."

When she puts on the uniform, she realizes her stomach is somewhat hard to conceal.

Trying to sneak a peek at whom Lillian Rivers is meeting isn’t going to work, so Vivian waits at the door.

Patrick Powell personally goes in for a visit, and after his professional service, he comes out without completely closing the door.

"The person inside is President Warren of Pinnacle Bank."

Lillian Rivers meeting a bank president secretly?

Vivian Sinclair leans against the door, listening as the conversation inside drifts out softly.

"President Warren, you should know, the Grant Family is not so easily coaxed nowadays!"

"I invited you here, so you should understand my sincerity, right?"

"If you’re willing to cooperate with us, I can offer you this much afterward."

Just how much it is, Vivian Sinclair cannot see Lillian Rivers’ gestures.

But President Warren actually refuses the matter.

"Mrs. Grant, it’s not that I won’t say it’s truly not the case."

"If the Old Madam truly had an account at our bank, wouldn’t you know when clearing the estate?"

"To interrogate me about something nonexistent, I can’t just make it up!"

Lillian Rivers: "Nonsense, if we knew, why would we be investigating this matter?"

"This matter is definitely not false!"

"The person my mother-in-law kicked out back then came back to make trouble last time; if it wasn’t for my husband, Chairman Grant, who quickly intercepted and sensed something, knew that my mother-in-law is a major shareholder of your Pinnacle Bank, and founded some foundation back then, would we be so sure about this?"

"In the inheritance list given, and even the list we calculated secretly, there’s no mention of your Pinnacle Bank."

"So clean, isn’t it too deliberate?"

"President Warren, if you are wise, reveal my mother-in-law’s matter truthfully, and we’ll all have a good life."

"Otherwise, how many more months can she protect you?"

"Think carefully, do you really want to be my mother-in-law’s lapdog to the very end?"
