NovelEnglishThe Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 1046 Asking For Shares
“I’m fine. My mind was elsewhere, and I wasn’t paying enough attention to my steps,” Jsaid with a weak smile. The smile on
her face soon disappeared though, and a cold sweat began to break out on her back.
It was clear that Brandon’s warning to be on guard against Vivian was not without reason. From the conversation between Vivian
and Draco, it was evident that Vivian had done her homework and had thoroughly investigated the entire W Marks Stuand all
of the people connected to Janet.
From Tasha being Seth’s ex-wife to Draco’s hospitalization, there was nothing that Vivian didn’t know about Janet’s colleagues’
lives. It was even possible that Vivian could identify Elizabeth and her ex-boyfriend Jorge.
Vivian was a shrewd operator and the more Jthought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Ever since that fateful meeting in
the welfare house, strange things seemed to keep happening around her. Could it all be because of Vivian?
“How did your discussion with Vivian pan out?” Tasha asked, remembering her promise to help Vivian.
With a forced smile, Jturned to Tasha and said, “Vivian had to return for a meeting with Brandon. We’ll have to wait a few
Tasha smiled brightly, but at the stime, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off. It seemed like, after Janet’s
meeting with Vivian in the conference room, her mood had taken a turn for the worse. Tasha was obviously worried for her friend.
With a sense of accomplishment, Vivian left the W Marks Stuand headed back to the Larson Group.
She was feeling pretty good about how things had gone. At the stime, her phone rang.
Gazing at the caller ID with a stony expression, Vivian’s nerves were as taut as a bowstring.
It was from Jeremy!
Vivian hesitated for a moment before answering the call. “Well, that was smooth.” Jeremy laughed in a cryptic tone. Before
Vivian could respond, he added, “Don’t forget that you made a pact withto hand over the Turner family shares.”
Before Luke and Catherine went on their overseas trip, they had asked Vivian to sign a agreement for her to have a portion of
the Turner family’s shares. Vivian had kept the news under wraps and planned to keep the shares for herself in the future. But
she didn’t anticipate that Jeremy would find out about it so soon. As soon as the Turner couple left, he called Vivian to demand
the shares.
Vivian gritted her teeth and hissed, “I remember, but I’m swamped with work right now. Luke and Catherine have been abroad
these days, and no one is running the Turner Group. I’ll cto you after I finish my work here.”
Vivian’s strategy was to play for time, but she didn’t expect that Jeremy had a few tricks up his sleeve.
The next day, when Vivian received a video call from Catherine, she was taken aback.
Before Vivian could say anything, Catherine erupted in anger as she shouted, “Be honest with me, Vivian!”
She demanded, “Did you have an interview at the Larson Group and start working there?! What’s the matter with you? We just
gave you the shares of the Turner Group, and you pull a stunt like this!”
Stunned, Vivian immediately asked, “Who told you this? Did my dad also find out about it?”
Luke didn’t trust Vivian much to begin with. If he knew about this, he would definitely cut short his trip and fly back to take away
her shares.
“I received an anonymous text message. It had photos of you at an interview at the Larson Group. Luke went out to buy me
desserts and hasn’t returned to the hotel, so I haven’t told him yet.” Catherine said in an emotionless tone, “Tell me, is it true or
not?”
Fortunately, Luke hadn’t found out yet. The anonymous message to Catherine must have been sent by Jeremy. Vivian knew that
Jeremy was warning her to hand over her shares of the Turner Group.
But now she still needed to pacify Catherine, so she immediately explained, “It’s true. I have been working at the Larson Group
recently.”
Just as Catherine got furious and was about to hang up the phone, Vivian begged, “But I have my own cross to bear. Mom, you
must hearout!”
