Chapter 887 Give The Shares To Vivian
Of course, Vivian’s main objective was to secure the Turner family shares. That was the reason Jeremy had sent her there.
She’d been worrying about how to bring the topic up naturally, but now Catherine had conveniently done it for her by revealing
their plan to give her the shares anyway.
“It putsin a bit of an awkward position, mom,” she said. “There’s really no need for you to givethe shares.” Vivian spoke
as though her priority was the Turner family. “If you givethe shares rashly, it might upset the shareholders,” she said. “After
all, I’m not even a blood relative. You and father are still young, and the Turner Group can’t develop without you. Shares play no
part in my staying here, anyway.”
Vivian’s flat-out refusal of the shares made her appear sincere.
She still didn’t understand why Catherine had brought up the shares to begin with, though. Perhaps it had been a test, and
Vivian had been too shrewd to fall for it.
“That’s a very reasonable attitude, Vivian,” he said. Luke’s praise had a touch of parental affection.
Luke had been wary of Vivian, but her refusal of the shares quelled his suspicions.
Vivian was keenly aware of Luke’s feelings. It had been easy for her to deceive Catherine, but deceiving Luke was far less
simple. As a businessman, Luke was highly discerning.
Catherine and Luke shared a look, silently understanding one another, and signifying the end of the conversation.
“Then we’ll talk about that later.” Catherine smiled warmly and continued to fill Vivian’s plate.
Halfway through the meal, Catherine turned to Luke. “Where’s the destination?” she asked.
“Let’s go to Hokkaido,” Luke replied. “Wouldn’t you like to see the snow? It’s the snow season now. Anyway, if you like that idea,
I’ll ask my assistant to book the flights today.”
Vivian was surprised. “Are you going on a trip?” she asked.
Catherine nodded. “I floated the idea past Luke before he went to hospital. We’ve had too much on our plates over the past six
months. We need to unwind. Now that the company’s workload has been reduced, we finally have time.” At the mention of the
past, Catherine’s face grew weary. “We’ll leave the villa to you then,” she said. Catherine handed the key to the villa to Vivian.
Vivian clasped the key tightly in one hand. “Don’t worry,” she said seriously. “As long as I’m here, nothing bad will happen.”
Vivian passed Catherine the suitcase. “I’ve packed up all yours and dad’s medication and put them on your backpack,” she
reminded her. “I’ve also set alarms on your phone to remind you when to take them.”
Catherine put her hand on her heart. “You’re so considerate,” she murmured. Catherine was touched.
Turning to Luke, she said, “Have you given Vivian the document?”
“I only just got it from the lawyers,” Luke replied. “Don’t stress.” Luke passed Vivian a file.
Vivian looked at it curiously. “What’s this?” she asked. Opening the file, she saw that it contained a share transfer form.
Vivian paused, and Catherine patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry,” she said soothingly. “Your father has taken care of
everything. No one will dare gossip. You’re our child.”
Vivian’s eyes filled with tears. She signed her non the document and gave Catherine a big hug.
Luke took the form back from Vivian and said, “I’ve investigated you before. You’re funded by both Charis and Brandon. Please
keep in mind, I don’t want you to have anything to do with Brandon in the future.”
Vivian bowed her head. “Of course,” she replied. “I know what I should and shouldn’t do.” Vivian maintained an obedient
disposition.
As Catherine and Luke boarded the plane, she watched them leave through tear-filled eyes.
Only once the plane was in the sky did she raise her head and dry her tears.
“Finally,” she muttered. “The performance is over. I thought they’d never leave.”
Vivian fished out her phone and gazed down at the photos of Jand Draco holding one another that were going viral. At last,
she was in a good mood. “I didn’t expect the paparazzi to work so quickly,” she said with a smile.
