Not A Small-Town Girl

Chapter 207

ambitious-like a fox in disguise.

"I can’t for the life ofunderstand why men always pick women like her over women with real class. It just

baffles me!" Vivian ranted, growing more frustrated as she spoke. She shot a glare at both Howard and Joseph.

Howard thought, ’I didn’t do anything wrong. I've been loyal!’

Joseph thought, ‘Seriously. I'm the victim here, and now I'm getting blamed by Mom too?’

"Honey, I'm not like Robert. From the very beginning to the very end, it’s always been you. My heart and mind

are filled with nothing but you," Howard quickly reassured.

He was desperate not to be mistaken for someone who could change his affections on a whim.

"Hmph." Vivian gave him a playful side-eye.

"I swear, I'll love you for the rest of my life. You're my queen, and whatever you say goes," Howard said, pulling

"What are you doing? The kids are right there."

Vivian had been teasing him, but she never expected him to be so bold in front of their son and daughter.

Danielle thought, ‘Am | in the wrong scene here? Weren't we supposed to be talking about Joseph? Why are Mom

and Dad acting like this...

Joseph thought, ‘This is ridiculous. Just ridiculous.”

Vivian's face flushed slightly as she noticed their kids watching. She felt a little embarrassed and muttered, "It’s

all your fault."

"It’s my fault," Howard said with a soft smile, seeing that his wife was embarrassed. His eyes were full of

affection. "Ahem, ahem. So, Joseph, what's your plan now?"

"First, we need to figure out if the Dixon family is involved, or if this is Ruby and Sienna’s scheme-or maybe just

Sienna on her own. "Sienna cto my office today and proposed marriage. If Danielle hadn't cthrough

with the video, we might be in a very different situation..." Joseph's words trailed off, but everyone knew exactly

what he meant.

"Finding out if the Dixon family’s involved isn’t hard. We just need to see where they stand- whether they're

trying to use this to force Joseph into marriage," Danielle said, her voice cool and collected.

"If anyone tries to manipulate my son, | won't let them get away with it," Vivian said fiercely, her anger bubbling

up.
