The smile on Vivienne's face deepened after she heard what Hestia said. She led her over to a couch and said, "Actually, we're family, so you don't have to be so polite with me." Cheney let out a sigh, earning herself a glare from Vivienne. Cheney immediately shifted her gaze to another place and walked out of the room with the white cat named Kitty in her arms.

Hestia looked at this woman who changed her emotions faster than jumping off a building, cleared her throat and said, "I want to talk to you about a business. If I'm not mistaken, you're the owner of this bar, right?"

"Feel free to share with me anything you require. I'm approachable and open to conversation."

Hestia fell silent for a moment.

"Oh yeah. I'm Vivienne. You can call me Viv, or if you don't mind, you can call me Mrs. Lane too."

Hestia was stunned.

If it weren't for the fact that the information showed that Matthew was still single, and Matthew had never mentioned Vivienne to her, just by listening to Vivienne's confident tone, Hestia might have believed it.

It seemed to Hestia that Vivienne had a crush on Matthew.

Hestia lowered her head, acknowledging that this newfound relationship could make investigating the matter easier. She was surprised to discover such a concealed network of connections in Genecity, and couldn't help but wonder why Hesper had not utilized it previously.

After briefly explaining what she knew to Vivienne, Vivienne frowned because she did not have enough information. Then she said, "The Sulzbachs in Emperion are easy to replace, but they're a big family. If you don't have more accurate information, I can't be sure who you're looking for."

Hestia's eyes glowed.

Hestia had previously requested Sylvie's help in investigating the Sulzbachs, but they had found very little information. All they had managed to uncover was that there were only two brothers in the current generation of the Sulzbach family, with the elder brother, Silvan, in charge of managing the family business. Beyond that, they had hit a dead end.

"Thank you, Viv."

Vivienne waved her hand and said, "It's no big deal! If you need any help, you can come to me. No one is more resourceful than I am in Genecity and Emperion."

With a smile, Hestia nodded her head. Vivienne appeared tough to handle at first, but in truth, she was very easy to approach and much more manageable than Cheney. Despite Cheney's friendly demeanor and constant smile, her eyes revealed no hint of warmth, making her difficult to read.

"Ms. Scarlett, someone is causing trouble down there." Cheney came into the room.

Both Hestia and Vivienne turned their heads around, and there was a frown on Vivienne's forehead.

"Who dares to cause trouble in my place? Let's go down and check it out."

Hestia followed after them, and Vivienne reassured her, "Don't be afraid even if a fight breaks out later. No one will dare to lay a finger on you in my place."

Although Hestia nodded, she did not feel anything. The reason was simple-the people who could actually harm her probably had not even been born yet.

The three of them went downstairs and heard a commotion. Vivienne casually picked up a nearby bottle and smashed it on the corner of the table, releasing a crisp sound into the air. "Who dares to make trouble in my place? Are you tired of living?"
