Chapter 307: Chapter 307: A Windfall from the Sky

The name of her friend Mona Summers appeared right in the middle of the phone screen.

Cecilia Vaughn was a bit surprised, but she quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hey? Mona, how come you’re not spending a sweet weekend with Handsome Zeller and have time to find me?"

Facing her longtime best friend, Cecilia Vaughn’s eyebrows unconsciously arched, and even her tone became a bit more cheerful.

If people who weren’t too familiar with Cecilia Vaughn saw this, they’d be in shock because she rarely joked around.

Mona Summers’ sweet and lively voice immediately came through the phone.

"Cecilia, my darling Isaac is nothing compared to you. Have you eaten yet? I have great news to tell you, and I want to say it in person."

Cecilia Vaughn glanced at the Western-style wall clock in the living room, hmm, it seemed like there were still two hours until meal time.

"Okay, send me your location, I’ll come over now."

After hanging up the phone, she glanced over at Evan Vaughn, who was asking Adrian Law for help with a math problem. Seeing how he was clinging to Adrian, with an expression of admiration as if Adrian was a god, Cecilia Vaughn couldn’t bear to look.

— Well, this brat always sided with outsiders, constantly pointing out her flaws.

This house simply couldn’t accommodate her anymore.

Cecilia Vaughn slowly walked over to the two men and slightly tilted her head towards Adrian Law, her cheeks puffing up.

"Alright, I won’t disturb the two of you anymore. Mona just invited me to dinner, so I’m off."

Adrian Law helplessly chuckled.

"Cecilia... shall I give you a ride?"

"No need, isn’t someone still waiting for your sweet and sour ribs and spicy chicken gizzards?"

Cecilia Vaughn suddenly realized her tone was a bit sour, huh, why was she getting jealous of her own younger brother...

This time, even Cecilia Vaughn was at a loss for words about herself.

And Evan Vaughn, that troublemaker, was adding fuel to the fire.

"Really? That’s great, Adrian doesn’t like spicy food, so I’ll be able to finish a whole plate by myself."

"..."

Cecilia Vaughn gave Evan Vaughn a sinister look, raised her fist threateningly, "Don’t think I won’t dare to hit you just because you’re my brother."

"Brother-in-law, save me!"

Evan Vaughn dramatically pretended to hide towards Adrian Law.

Of course, he knew Adrian Law had a germophobia, so he didn’t really get close, just made a fake dodging gesture from a distance.

Evan Vaughn could clearly tell that if it weren’t for his sister, Adrian Law probably wouldn’t even spare him a glance.

But, well, knowing is one thing, he still unabashedly started his journey of picking faults, after all, she is his real sister 2333.

...

Adrian Law paid no attention to Evan Vaughn’s dramatic antics, instead giving Cecilia Vaughn a very calm look, reaching out to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear.

"Cecilia, since you don’t want me to give you a ride, be careful on the road, and better take a cab."

"No need, I’ve recently felt that I should practice driving myself. Isn’t there a small car in the underground garage meant for Aunt Sawyer to use for grocery shopping? I think it suits me well."

Cecilia Vaughn was referring to a Volkswagen sedan, bought for about 80,000 yuan, yet it stood out conspicuously in the underground garage of Starfall Bay because... it was too cheap.

Adrian Law had always been generous to his loyal workers, but Aunt Sawyer was a modest person, so she picked the cheapest one at the time.

Adrian Law let her be, but he usually took good care of Aunt Sawyer.

"..."

Adrian Law furrowed his handsome brows, expressing strong disapproval.

"Cecilia, you want to drive? It’s too dangerous... Aunt Sawyer only moves around the neighborhood, never more than three kilometers. If you want to drive, feel free to choose any sports car from the underground garage, or we can pick a new one together that’s both high-performing and suitable for beginners."

"No, I’m afraid I’ll damage it. Oh, I’ve had my driver’s license for three years but never drove. If I so much as scratch one of those supercars, it could cost millions to fix. I’m rusty, bumping and knocking around is no good."

"That’s a minor issue, it’s fine if the car gets damaged, as long as you’re okay."

"No way, lest Evan mocks my driving skills again for not being as good as yours."

Cecilia Vaughn shook her head, took the keys by herself, and headed out the door.

Evan Vaughn, hearing this, really felt a bit embarrassed this time. Alright, alright, he would stop teasing, happy?

And Adrian Law, watching Cecilia Vaughn’s back, slowly contemplated what kind of car would be suitable for her.

Clearly, Cecilia Vaughn preferred to keep a low profile.

Although those supercars in the underground garage were undeniably cool and stylish, they might be too flashy for Cecilia Vaughn.

He needed to find a low-key, inconspicuous, yet safe sedan.

After pondering for a while, a spark of inspiration flashed through Adrian Law’s mind, prompting him to type out a message to Wyatt Law.

"Wyatt, pick up a Volkswagen Phaeton from the 4S shop for Starfall Bay."

Wyatt Law was shocked upon receiving the message.

Why does the young master want a Volkswagen Phaeton?

Could it be that the Young Madam has decided to learn to drive?

Wyatt Law’s thoughts shifted quickly, but he was genuinely pleased with Cecilia Vaughn’s decision. After all, mastering more skills was never a bad thing.

...

Twenty minutes later, Cecilia Vaughn drove the grocery car to a Chongqing hotpot restaurant she and Mona Summers frequently visited.

As soon as she entered the private room, she saw Mona Summers’ charming face.

Big eyes, long eyelashes, a heart-shaped face, and short, bold hair, a typical first-glance beauty.

"Cecilia! Come here quickly! I have tremendous news, you’re going to be prosperous!"

Mona Summers’ eyes lit up when she saw her, enthusiastically gesturing for Cecilia Vaughn to come over.

"What on earth makes you so happy?"

Cecilia Vaughn had just sat down and taken a sip of tea when Mona Summers grabbed her arm.

"Cecilia, do you remember that Director Chapman’s company bought your ’There are branches on the mountain’? I initially thought it was just someone under his banner showing interest, but who would have thought Director Chapman himself said he wants to direct it personally!"

"Pfft—"

Cecilia Vaughn was taken aback, nearly spitting out her tea.

"Are you sure? It’s not April Fool’s Day today, you’re not joking with me?"

"Cross my heart, hope to die! If I’m lying, I’m a puppy! Director Chapman already had someone contact our editorial department today and stated that tomorrow at 8 PM he’ll officially announce the plan for this movie, inviting various talents to propose casting options! To see who’s suitable!"

"With Director Chapman at the helm, securing top actors and actresses is a no-brainer, the male and female leads are definitely reliable!"

Cecilia Vaughn swallowed hard in disbelief.

"Let me digest this news for a moment..."

Director Chapman!

He was the same director who produced ’Brocade River and Mountain’ and ’You are the Sun and Moon in My Heart’, sweeping numerous film awards!

Even though her comic had a considerable view count and significant online buzz, catching the eye of such a serious director was no easy feat.

"I knew you’d be so ecstatic you’d act silly."

Mona Summers smiled with arched brows and gossiped with Cecilia Vaughn for a while longer before suddenly recalling something else.

"By the way, Cecilia, have you visited your old high school? Today your high school class president messaged me on WeChat, saying they wanted to invite you to participate in a reunion. Are you... going?"

As if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her, Cecilia Vaughn’s excited demeanor suddenly cooled down.

"Will Fiona Vaughn be attending?"
