“Vivian Smith?” Edwin frowned and thought for a moment before remembering who Vivian Smith was.
He was a little surprised. “Why did you suddenly mention her? You met her?”
Caroline recalled the scene at that time. “She happened to appear at the scene, and then I found out, so she helped to call someone over.”
Coincidentally appearing at the crime scene was quite interesting.
Edwin immediately sensed that something was wrong. “You suspect that she did something in this incident?”
“Obviously.” The villain was able to bypass the tight security and enter the official residence to pretend to be a waiter. If no one helped her in secret, with her skills, it was obvious that she could not do this.
Edwin did not doubt Caroline’s judgment. Since she felt that Vivian was suspicious, it must be that Vivian was acting suspiciously. He first guessed, she’s here to take revenge for the Smith family?”
Edwin’s memory of this girl was still stuck in her teens.
She was indeed an unfortunate girl.
However, Edwin was never a kind-hearted person, so he only knew about it.
When he accidentally saw her being bullied a few times, he did not stop them.
From his point of view, Vivian was indeed isolated and helpless in the Smith family, but her own weakness was also a factor in why she was bullied so badly.
If she didn’t have the courage to stand up and resist, no one could save her.
“Other than that, did anything else happen between you and her?” Caroline asked.
Edwin recalled for a moment. “Indeed not.’
However, since Caroline asked this question, Edwin thought for a moment and looked at her with some ridicule. “So you found something?”
“When I heard that she was born into the Smith family, I suspected that she was trying to take revenge for the Smith family, so she deliberately targeted me.”
However, when Edwin appeared at the entrance of the official residence and got off the car, she happened to notice something. As one of the logistics staff in charge of security at the mansion, Vivian also appeared at the door to maintain security, standing diagonally opposite them. The moment Edwin appeared, she saw Vivian’s expression.
At that moment, Vivian’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, Caroline still caught it.
“That expression does not look like the joy one would have when meeting an acquaintance. Instead, it looks more like…” Caroline paused for a moment and used a more cautious word, “Salvation.”
Yes, when Vivian saw Edwin, it was as if she had seen her salvation. It was more devout and passionate than pure joy and love.
“Salvation?” This word carried a lot of weight when it came to relationships.
Edwin was surprised and a little incredulous. “Logically speaking, this is unlikely. I don’t have much interaction with her at all.”
Before he inherited the Anderson family, he had already begun his studies as an heir, so he had not visited the Smith family many times since he was young. Vivian, as an unfavored daughter, was more like an invisible existence in the Smith family, so she did not have many opportunities to get close to Edwin.
Not to mention that after he took over the Anderson family at the age of 16, he had been living in seclusion for many years due to illness, and he had never been to the Smith family during this period.
The last time he heard about Vivian was when Joline mentioned that she had run away from home to resist the family’s arrangements and had broken off relations with the Smith family.
“In my impression, the two of us barely spoke.” As a result, when he thought about it now, Vivian’s past and face were rather blurry.
Therefore, Edwin did not think that he would become Vivian’s salvation in such an environment.
Caroline looked at Edwin’s handsome side profile and sighed. “I think if this person is you, then nothing is impossible.”
Edwin was born in the Anderson family. Before the family changed drastically, as the first heir of the Anderson family, he should have been loved by everyone and lived quite freely.
This could be seen from the old photos of Edwin that Joline shared with Caroline..
