When Things are Uncertain, It's Best to be Cautious Chapter 1

Vivianne Hathaway had been in love with her boyfriend, Lucas Cannavale, for five years.

It was not until their engagement, she found out that Lucas had a beautiful girlfriend whom he had been thinking about for ten years.

Vivianne angrily cursed them for being shameless.

But Lucas took her hand and said, "I didn't know I would fall in love with two people at the same time. Kiara will go back to settle abroad. Vivianne, can you stay by my side?"

She denounced him for being shameless.

His girlfriend, Kiara Baker, lifted her chin and said, "It was just a farewell kiss, but if you try to provoke me like this again, I don't mind confirming your identity as a mistress."

Kiara left, but came back three days later and publicly announced her engagement to Lucas.

The fiancé became someone else's groom.

Vivianne felt like a joke.

***

"Stellan, you said you found my biological parents, is that true?"

"Of course, they have their own reasons and they have been looking for you all these years. I can take you to see them anytime."

Vivianne hesitated for a moment.

She looked up at the woman who was walking slowly towards her in the heavy snow with an umbrella and finally made up her mind. "Okay, I'll go with you."

Stellan Lautner was stunned. He kept asking her on the other end of the phone. "Really? Aren't you getting married next month? Your parents are in Germany. It will take a long time to travel back and forth. Can you make it?"

"It's okay. I've thought about it. Besides, I probably won't ...."

She paused, then she did not continue the rest of her words.

What she wanted to say was ... she probably would not attend her own wedding because the groom had fallen in love with another woman.

When she hung up the phone, Kiara happened to walk to her.

This woman who had been divorced twice was Lucas' subordinate. Vivianne witnessed her kissing Lucas passionately in front of the study window half an hour ago with her own eyes!

He was her childhood sweetheart of more than twenty years, her boyfriend of five years and the man who proposed to her four months ago in front of the elders ....

Now he sat coldly in the car, watching Vivianne shivering in the wind and snow and being provoked by the mistress in front of him.

Kiara stroked her elegant long hair, exuding an intellectual beauty.

She looked down at Vivianne, tilted her head and smiled mockingly. "Little poor thing, hiding here wearing such clothes, are you trying to sell your misery and wait for your fiancé to come and apologize to you?"

"What are you doing here! Are you here to protest against me?"

Vivianne stood up angrily, her face was blue from the cold, but her eyes were bloodshot.

"I'm here to persuade you to go home."

Kiara furrowed her brows and pointed to the car behind her. "I'm leaving Optimuz. I came here today to handle the last part of my work. The kiss just now was just a farewell."

"Don't think too much, go back quickly, Lucas still loves you."

Vivianne was stunned for half a minute before cursing loudly. "Do you need to kiss him and hug him like that to say goodbye? You shameless woman!"

Kiara, who was over thirty years old, had held a high position in her career. She would normally get angry if she was cursed and insulted, but unexpectedly she laughed.

"I said, it was just a farewell kiss, but if you try to provoke me again, I don't mind confirming this identity."

She took a step forward and lifted Vivianne's chin with her delicate fingers. "You should know that in front of me, you have no chance of winning," she said.

Vivianne was struck by lightning.

Even though she tried to suppress her emotions, she could not control her tears from flowing down because ... what Kiara said was true.

She came from an excellent background, her work ability was extremely strong and her smile was so charming.

In contrast, Vivianne was too ordinary. As soon as she was born to the world, she was abandoned and when she was seventeen, her adoptive parent both passed away. Now, she was in her early twenties and reckless.

So, he was the only one Vivianne had in this world.
