The 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,” Janet said with aweak smile. The smile on her face soon disappeared though, and a cold sweat began to break out onher back.

It was clear that Brandon’s warning to be on guard against Vivian was not without reason. From theconversation between Vivian and Draco, it was evident that Vivian had done her homework and hadthoroughly investigated the entire W Marks Studio and 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 knowabout 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 Janet thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Eversince 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, Janet turned to Tasha and said, “Vivian had to return for a meeting with Brandon.We’ll have to wait a few days for their final decision. Let’s get back to work for now. By the way, Tasha,congratulations on winning the championship.”

Tasha smiled brightly, but at the same time, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off. Itseemed like, after Janet’s meeting with Vivian in the conference room, her mood had taken a turn forthe worse. Tasha was obviously worried for her friend.

With a sense of accomplishment, Vivian left the W Marks Studio and headed back to the Larson Group.

She was feeling pretty good about how things had gone. At the same time, 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 acryptic tone. Before Vivian could respond, he added, “Don’t forget that you made a pact with me tohand over the Turner family shares.”

Before Luke and Catherine went on their overseas trip, they had asked Vivian to sign a agreement forher to have a portion of the Turner family’s shares. Vivian had kept the news under wraps and plannedto keep the shares for herself in the future. But she didn’t anticipate that Jeremy would replace out about itso 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 andCatherine have been abroad these days, and no one is running the Turner Group. I’ll come to you afterI finish my work here.”

Before Jeremy could respond, Vivian ended the call.

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 thematter 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 replace out about it?”

Luke didn’t trust Vivian much to begin with. If he knew about this, he would definitely cut short his tripand 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. Lukewent out to buy me desserts and hasn’t returned to the hotel, so I haven’t told him yet.” Catherine saidin 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 byJeremy. 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 beenworking at the Larson Group recently.”

Just as Catherine got furious and was about to hang up the phone, Vivian begged, “But I have my owncross to bear. Mom, you must hear me out!”
