Chapter 165

The unexpected appearance of Vincent and Olivia left Jaxon momentarily stunned.

Immediately after, his gaze shifted to their intertwined hands, feeling a thorn pr ick his heart.

However, his expression remained as calm as a tranquil lake, betraying no ripples.

As Vincent and Olivia approached, he merely quirked his lips in a smile.

The situation had put Thomas in a somewhat awkward position.

The Sullivan family was a large and influential clan. For Jaxon, who wanted to reclaim his heritage and

place on the family tree, the presence of various relatives was

necessary.

A gathering had been arranged to serve as a witness to this significant event.

Unexpectedly. Vincent and Olivia had returned, causing a stir in the planned. proceedings.

Feeling nervous, Thomas anxiously sweated in his palms.

Vincent’s stance on the matter was already known to Thomas, so the latter had deliberately planned

this on a day without him here.

However, Vincent’s sudden return had caught him off guard.

Vincent took the initiative to speak. “Everyone is here. It seems like a good day.”

With that, Vincent embraced Olivia and announced proudly before relatives, allow me to introduce my

fiancée, Olivia Salter.”

The revelation ignited a flurry of reactions among the relatives.

everyone, “Dear

Vincent was widely recognized as the heir to the Sullivan Group, making his marital affairs a significant

concern for the entire family.

The sudden announcement took everyone by surprise.

Curious, everyone chattered about who Olivia could be.

An elder commented, “She’s pretty, a perfect match for Vince.

Subsequently, a woman in her fifties was less unfriendly. “Pretty girls are common in Dellmoor. What

matters is whether she can contribute to the Sullivan family.”

Her words carried a tone of jealousy and provocation.

After hearing his girlfriend being gossiped about, Vincent, not one to back down, immediately retorted.

“I don’t need your comment on who I should choose to be my wife. Your son might be a suitable

candidate if you’re aiming for a marriage alliance.”

The middle-aged woman was speechless after feeling the sharpness in Vincent’s words.

Thomas was already feeling sorry for Vincent because of Jaxon.

Seizing the opportunity upon seeing the well-educated and refined woman by his side, whom he

presumed to be an esteemed lady. Thomas wholeheartedly supported the couple.

In high spirits, Thomas said proudly. “Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules, everyone.

Today is a big day for the Sullivan family.”

The well-wishers began to pour in. “Congratulations, Thomas. This is a double joy for the family.”

Thomas grinned from ear to ear and bowed graciously. “Thank you, thank you…”

He added, “Firstly, Vince had announced that he’s gonna get married.”

This scenario left Olivia somewhat astonished.

The family gathering seemed more like a grand wedding feast for her and Vincent, emphasizing the

distinctiveness of such a prominent family.

Vincent seemed to sense her discomfort and nervousness. Hence, he reassured her by holding her

hand and urged her not to be anxious.

“As for the second matter, let me formally introduce my other son, Jaxon Sullivan.” Then, Thomas,

along with Jaxon, bowed before the crowd.

“Jaxon Sullivan?” Jaxon felt slightly uncomfortable upon hearing his name adorned with the Sullivan

surname.

However, since it was his idea of reclaiming his heritage, he had no choice but to accept.

it.

A few chatty relatives discussed, “Not bad. He possesses an extraordinary aura, just like young

Thomas did.”

This comment elicited mixed emotions in Thomas,

However, there were also a few gossipy remarks, likely aiming to stir up trouble. “Oh, indeed, he’s on

par with Vince. The future of the Sullivan family might see some fierce

competition.”

Amid this joyous occasion, Thomas, who had just been wearing a pleased expression, now fixed his

eagle-like gaze on those stirring up trouble.

Others around discreetly reminded them to be quiet.

Olivia couldn’t hide her discomfort, as she did not enjoy the spotlight and felt like an exquisite sculpture

on display.

Jaxon observed the seemingly uncomfortable yet determined woman, forcing herself to appear

composed, and he realized that love could indeed prompt one to adapt to changing circumstances.

Today, Olivia’s actions confirmed her deep affection for Vincent.

Observing this, Jaxon couldn’t help but find himself in an ironic situation, realizing that the promises

they once made of growing old together had dissipated and drifted along with the wind.

At this point, he could only smile bitterly.

Keenly aware of the situation, Vincent raised his clear eyes, appreciating Thomas’ determination in

orchestrating this event.

If not for a twist of fate, he migh

not have had the fortune to witness Jaxon reunite

Surveying the surroundings of the vast family gathering, he noticed the diverse mix of individuals,

mostly there for the spectacle.

At a moment like this, resisting the inevitable was futile. The situation had become a foregone

conclusion.

Any further opposition would only amuse those onlookers.

Vincent led Olivia to Jaxon and said, “Welcome.”

After bidding farewell to Thomas, they departed.

Upon observing his two sons, Jaxon and Vincent, seemingly united, Thomas felt relief and satisfaction.

Olivia sat in the passenger seat and kept a concerned gaze on Vincent. “Are you okay?”

Perhaps feeling a resonance with his emotions, Vincent made an abrupt emergency stop, parking the

car by the roadside.

He pulled Olivia into his embrace and murmured to himself, “Luckily, I have you. you weren’t here, I

wouldn’t know how to face all this….

If

Olivia gently patted his back, understanding the suppressed emotions and resilience within him, and

whispered, “I’ll always be there for you.”

This reassurance acted as a revitalizing tonic, making Vincent feel more at ease.

Thomas was the cause of all this. He and Jaxon were merely

ctims in this situation.

Vincent had considered Jaxon a friend and enjoyed their conversations.

However, he would only regard Jaxon as a rival from now on out.

After his emotions settled, Vincent restarted the car.

One person could not be absent on this significant day filled with ceremonial importance.

He then drove Olivia to the psychiatric hospital where Delilah resided.

It wasn’t until today that Olivia discovered the harsh upbringing Vincent had faced.

Despite the adversity, he remained optimistic and hadn’t lost his innate kindness.

Olivia could tell Delilah was a beautiful woman in her youth, and Vincent had likely inherited her

features.

However, her eyes were hollow and lifeless, revealing the hardships she had endured.

Even though Delilah couldn’t understand or respond, Vincent patiently introduced Olivia to her. “Mom,

this is your daughter-in-law, Olivia. Isn’t she beautiful?”

Tears welled up in Olivia’s eyes involuntarily.

Upon seeing this, the doctor shook his head. His eyes were full of sympathy, but he couldn’t be of help

for the situation.
