You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 375 In The Same Boat

As soon as Vivian hung up the phone, Julie rushed in with her phone in her hand. She had just read the news that Vivian bought the clothing brand with 130 million dollars.

Pointing at the news on the phone, Julie asked discontentedly, "Vivi, what's going on? I asked you to seduce Mr. Shi, not spend 130 million."

130 million was not a small amount of money for Vivian. Although she had been scheming to rip off the Ye family for years, it had been impossible for her to save so much money. In the end, she had to sell a lot of her jewelry to pay the money.

Vivian didn't expect that John would be so heartless and make her lose so much money, but she also lucked out due to this misfortune. At least in others' eyes, she was an infatuated woman.

As long as Vivian's plans went smoothly and Nina was brought back to C Island, it would be easy for her to get what she wanted.

"Mom, I have my own plans. Don't worry." Vivian glanced at her mother's phone and shrugged off the news.

"How can I not worry?" Julie sat next to Vivian. Her tone was angry as she began scolding her daughter. "We planned to make the media catch you and Mr. Shi having sex, but the media just reported that the two of you were seen trying to rekindle your relationship. Then there was the news blast about 130 dollars. What on earth were you doing? All you needed to do was show everyone that you and Mr. Shi had sex. What is the point of all these things?"

"Mom!" With a cold face, Vivian turned to her mother. "I have my own plans. I don't want others to scold me for seducing a married man. I want to marry him with a clear conscience."

"Huh?" Julie mocked. "Do you still have a clear conscience after what you've done? Are you kidding me? If you sleep with Mr. Shi and get pregnant with his child, you will become his woman for sure."

"What kind of a woman? A mistress?" Vivian stood up angrily and began pacing in the room. "Mom, don't forget that you could only run and hide with me when Dad's wife was still alive. We ended up moving in with the Ye family, but that was after her death. How many people look down on us? I don't want my child to be looked down on by others. I will never wish that for my baby."

Vivian had always been an obedient child. She had never entered into a confrontation with her mother. Hearing these words, Julie was filled with rage. Her daughter was standing right in front of her and criticizing her past.

Julie slapped Vivian straight across the face.

Vivian staggered back a few steps.

"A mistress? You just called me a mistress. How could you say that to your mother? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been as rich and powerful as you are now. Remember that we are in the same boat." Julie's hands were still trembling after she had slapped her daughter. She stood glaring angrily at Vivian, who was stunned by the throbbing in her cheek.

It took Vivian a while to process what had just happened.

Her mother's words also brought her back to reality.

What Julie said was right.

They were indeed in the same boat. They couldn't fall into an internal strife at this time.

Vivian still needed her mother to complete one task for her. She only trusted Julie because she knew that she wouldn't betray her.

The anger in Vivian's eyes gradually subsided. She ignored the throbbing pain and apologized, "Mom, I'm sorry."

Even though Julie was still angry at Vivian, her heart softened when she heard her daughter's apology. Every mother cared about her child.

Julie looked at her daughter's slightly red and swollen face and realized that she had hit her too hard.

She stepped forward and held Vivian's face, her hands trembling slightly. Julie sighed, "Does it hurt? I didn't mean to hit you, but..."

"It doesn't hurt," Vivian said softly, with tears in her eyes. "I know you are doing this for my own good. I don't blame you. But, will you listen to me? I want to tell you my plans."

"Your plans?" Julie looked at her daughter's aggrieved face and felt sorry for her.

Vivian nodded and whispered her plans in her mother's ear. Julie's eyes lit up.

"Vivi, you're so clever." Julie looked at her daughter with relief. "What do you want me to do?"

Vivian took out a U disk from the drawer and handed it to her mother. She said seriously, "Mom, the U disk is evidence of Jessica's divorce. I'll go to Spring City later. You just need to wait for my message. When I tell you that you can take action, you must replace a way to make Sam receive this evidence, but you can't expose yourself."

"What? Jessica and Jason have divorced?" Julie was shocked by the news. No one knew about Jessica's divorce. Everyone thought that they were a happy couple. 'It's unbelievable. When did they get divorced?' Julie wondered.

Julie felt the importance of the evidence she held in her hand. She tightened her grip on the U disk. "Don't worry. I will get it done. But why do you want to tell Sam about it? He's getting old. If he gets ill because of this, we'll be in trouble."

"That is why you must do it without exposing yourself." A hint of cruelty flashed through Vivian's eyes, and she became somewhat malicious. "If Sam gets sick, his family will get busy taking care of him. How will they be able to spare time to investigate it? By the time they begin to investigate, you will have erased all traces of evidence.

Moreover, Jessica and Jason divorced a long time ago. What is done in the dark of the night, sees the light of day sooner or later. We are just telling Sam the truth. I think that he is the only one in Shi family who doesn't know about it."

"Then how did you know about her divorce?" Julie knew that Vivian had a good relationship with Jessica, but she didn't think that the latter would tell her daughter about it. Vivian smiled slightly. She had found out through the bug she had placed in Jessica's necklace. She knew everything about her friend now.

Vivian didn't intend to tell her mother about this. The less people knew it, the better. She didn't want to expose her secret.

"She accidentally spilled the beans, and I happened to record it. I thought it would be useful one day, so I kept it this entire time."

Julie believed her daughter's words, but somehow she felt uneasy.

"Vivi, isn't it too much to tell Sam?" Julie was cunning but timid. After all, Sam was a respected man in the Shi family. If they were found out, she would be doomed.

Vivian tried to persuade her mother. "Mom, if we aren't ruthless, we won't get what we want. Mr. Shi is going to propose to Nina in Spring City tonight. If the two of them make up, the 130 million I spent will be in vain. If anything happens to Sam, Mr. Shi will definitely rush to be by his side. I will use that time to try and make Nina give John up."

Thinking of her daughter's flawless plans, Julie couldn't help nodding in agreement. But she thought of something and quickly reminded Vivian. "Vivi, don't forget that Nina is the princess of C Island. We can't get on her bad side."

"I don't intend to offend her. I just want to send her back to C Island to live a good life there as a princess and marry a powerful man. She shouldn't be staying in Lexingport City." Vivian had already made up her mind and everything was under control.☐☐☐☐☐
