Vivian clutched the chairman's clothes, taking advantage of the situation to look even more pitiful inside the old man's embrace. That being said, her shock was not a farce; she was truly frightened at that moment.
She recognized the daughter as the one who came with a very handsome plus one—who she found out later was a bodyguard. This particular daughter was very memorable, not because of her striking appearance but because, unlike the other children, she talked fearlessly to the chairman. She struck Vivian as the kind of child who didn't mind being disowned, not just rebellious. Her words dripped with poison that got Vivian rather scared, even though she was older than the daughter.
