Chapter 635
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 hear me out!”
Catherine had planned to hang up the phone and brush Vivian off like yesterday’s news.
The Turner family and the Larson Group were like oil and water, completely incompatible. Vivian knew
this but had deliberately chosen to work with the Larson Group; it was a clear indication that she held
the Turner family in contempt.
Catherine had once held Vivian in high esteem, but now it seemed that Vivian was nothing more than a
wolf in sheep’s clothing, not to be trusted.
But when Catherine heard Vivian crying, her heart melted like butter, and she decided to give Vivian a
fair hearing before deciding anything.
“The only reason I work in the Larson Group is to help the children that Charis had funded before.”
Vivian’s voice was ch*oked with emotion, “When I visited the children in the welfare house, I found that
they were living a life of quiet desperation. After Charis’ death, her previous position at the Larson
Group had been left vacant. Brandon didn’t give a hoot about those orphans. I was also once a child
from the welfare house, so I could empathize with them. If Charis knew that these children were in such
dire straits, she’d feel bad for them. So, as soon as I entered the Larson Group, I began to help these
children find other suitable sponsors. Once the task is completed, I will immediately resign from the
Larson Group.”
Vivian spoke with a sense of purpose.
On the other end of the phone, Catherine was left speechless. Vivian could sense the change in
Catherine, as Charis was a soft spot for her. Besides, Vivian had promised to quit the Larson Group in
the future, so Catherine wouldn’t hold anything against her anymore. Sure enough, Catherine’s tone
was not as frosty as before. She said helplessly and worriedly, “Charis cared about those children very
much before. Remember to see it through to the end.”
Catherine thought it over. “You must leave the Larson Group before I and Luke come back. If Luke
finds out that you are working for Brandon, you won’t be able to talk your way out of it no matter what.
The person who sent me the anonymous message must have an ulterior motive. You should also
practice caution.”
Vivian nodded in agreement. She said something nice obediently to appease Catherine.
After hanging up the phone, Vivian was so livid that she stood up from the sofa and wanted to smash
her phone to smithereens. Jeremy was always pulling her strings like a puppet master!
Damn Jeremy! She wouldn’t be at his beck and call this time!
Taking a deep breath, Vivian held her phone tightly and called Jeremy.
“Are you finally available to talk to me now?”
There was contempt and banter in Jeremy’s tone as if he was talking to a misbehaved child.
Vivian was disgusted with Jeremy’s attitude. It was clear as day that he never took her seriously.
“You did it, didn’t you?” Vivian gritted her teeth and trembled with anger, nearly bursting.
Jeremy was not about to beat around the bush. “You’d better sign the share transfer contract now
before you find yourself in a catch-22. If I tell Luke about it, you will be doomed.”
“Are you going to push me off a cliff?” Vivian’s eyes widened in anger.
“I don’t want to waste my time on you. I will only give you half an hour to fax me the document.
Otherwise, you won’t like the aftermath of what I’m gonna do!” After saying that, Jeremy hung up the
phone.
Vivian had no choice but to transfer her shares to Jeremy. She had been worried that this matter would
come to light, but she didn’t expect that Jeremy was so powerful that he had concealed it from the
public. No one knew that a part of the shares of the Turner family had fallen into the hands of an
outsider, not even the Turner couple.
On day two, Vivian went to work. Before entering the Larson Group’s building, she heard her name Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
being called from behind.
“Vivian.”
She froze and twisted her head tensely as she recognized the voice.
Jeremy stood before Vivian with hands in his pockets. The wide shoulders and long legs of Jeremy
were particularly striking. He grinned ever so slightly. Despite his kind demeanor, he gave off an icy
vibe.
Vivian stepped back unconsciously.
“What… Why are you back?” Vivian asked shakily. Her legs grew weak, and she was frightened. She
couldn’t believe that Jeremy would suddenly come back.
Jeremy ignored her question. Instead, he changed the topic and asked casually, “Do you have time
now? It’s too cold outside. How about we warm up with a cup of coffee? My treat.”
Despite Vivian’s fear of Jeremy, she couldn’t refuse his invitation. He was behaving so kindly towards
her, and he sounded so warm and courteous. She doubted that the Jeremy she was looking at now
was the same one from the ruthless and cunning Jeremy over the phone.
When they reached the coffee shop, the mellow fragrance of coffee wafted through their noses.
Vivian ordered a cup of black coffee and saw her restless reflection staring back at her in the coffee.
She had chosen this coffee shop for her safety as the shop was always packed with people. If anything
were to happen, there would be witnesses.
“Are you here to supervise me?” Vivian joked awkwardly, with anxiety written all over her face.
Despite looking amiable on the surface, she and Jeremy were actually at odds with each other. Vivian
knew that Jeremy was a snake from their previous encounters, and she knew she had to be wary of
him.
Jeremy crossed his legs and said calmly, “I just started an experimental project at home, so I’m back to
oversee it. How are you recently? I heard you’re doing a good job in the Larson Group.”
Vivian forced a smile and replied, “I’m busy dealing with some charity and public relations projects in
the Larson Group.”
Jeremy stared at her and said blankly, “You always get what you want, no matter how difficult it is.
You’re a smart girl, and I always know you will succeed in whatever you set your mind on.”
