Chapter 1099 The Turner Group Encountered A Crisis

On the second floor of the Turner family’s house, Catherine leaned against the window. She held atissue between trembling fingers. When the ambulance pulled away, she closed the gap in the curtainsand tried to calm herself.

Catherine knew Luke’s methods better than anyone. He was a ruthless man. That was one of thereasons why many companies didn’t dare to offend the Turners.

She heard her husband’s footsteps echo along the corridor. Catherine raised her head as Luke openedthe door.

Luke was annoyed by his wife’s tearful face. “Don’t show your kindness to someone who doesn’tdeserve it. We would be better to pity ourselves.” Luke’s eyes were cold. He couldn’t understandCatherine’s continued devotion.

“I didn’t try to stop you. Now I can’t even cry for a little while?” Catherine’s face was pale. The tears sheshed were silent but real. She had loved Vivian and couldn’t bear to see her tortured to lunacy by Luke.

But she hadn’t attempted to stop him. Luke knew Catherine had accepted his decision. She hadstepped aside and didn’t do anything to stop him exacting his revenge. His attitude softened as hegazed into her red-rimmed eyes, wet with tears. He walked across the room and comforted her gently.“Vivian is a liar. She never really treated you like a mother. Why should you waste your tears on her?When we lost Charis, our sadness made us vulnerable. That’s why the two of us fell into her trap.”

“I know what you mean,” Catherine said, wiping her tears. When she thought about everything, sheknew she had been too impulsive in many things. For one, she should never have forced her way into

the interrogation room at the Larson Group without permission.

Catherine felt uneasy. “What did Brandon say? Will he continue to harass our family?”

Dealings between the Turner family and the Larson Group had been difficult before. After the problemswith Vivian, their relationship would only get worse.

“Don’t worry. I’ve discussed it with Brandon. It won’t affect our family.” Luke’s smile inspired confidence.

“That’s good. Although our family has a strong foundation, the Larson Group is a rising star. Brandon isthoughtful and decisive. Even if we must fight him, I doubt we can last long.” Catherine sighed withrelief. Luke was no longer the high spirited and ambitious young man he once was. They both onlywanted to enjoy their old age.

Seeing that she seemed to have calmed down, Luke offered a suggestion, “If you still want an adopteddaughter, we should pick a kind and sensible girl. Of course, we would need to confirm that she has akind heart and will never harm the Turner family.” *

Vivian would never return, and Luke would never allow her back into their lives.

Catherine sat on the bed and shook her head. She felt absolutely exhausted. Her bones ached fromthe emotional strain. “I’m afraid to try again. People change. If we brought back another girl like Vivian,I couldn’t bear it.”

What had happened felt like a nightmare. “It’s good that you can move on.” Luke squeezed her hand.The phone in his pocket rang, and his eyes lit up.

“Who is it? Why are you so happy?” Catherine said.

trying to distract herself from her grief. “I asked my secretary to take back the shares we gave to Vivian.He’s probably calling to report the result.” Luke picked up the phone and asked, “How is it going?”

“Mr. Turner, its bad news, I’m afraid. You can’t reclaim the shares you gave to Vivian.” The secretarysounded anxious.

Luke fell onto the bed. His voice trembled when he asked, What do you mean? Why can’t I get backthe shares?”

“Because Vivian transferred her shares to a third party. That third party has already collected a lot ofshares in the Turner Group. Their stake in the company is almost as large as yours and Mrs. Turner’s.”The secretary’s voice grew quiet. “Mr. Turner, can you come to the company and deal with it quickly?I’m afraid the company might have a change of ownership.”

Luke lowered his arm and sighed helplessly. “I was too careless. 1 didn’t expect that Vivian would leaveanother disaster for us.”

“Who took her shares and purchased more of them from other shareholders?” Catherine’s mind was inchaos. She saw that Luke looked afraid, and her anxiety spiked. She couldn’t calm down at all.

The Turner Group was the most important thing in the world to Luke. Who would be vicious enough totake advantage of their recent tragedy and purchase the shares?

“Don’t worry. I’ll go to the company and see how best to deal with it.” Luke’s head felt as though it mightoverheat. Pain darted between his eyes. When he stood up, he felt dizzy. The next second, he justpassed out.
