Chapter 634
“Mr. Larson can handle it. I'm sure. All you need to do now is to take care of
yourself whenever you're out,” Vivian remarked.
At the same time, Vivian figured out the problem she had been trying to figure
out. Everything that Natalie said matched what Vivian had heard from Sean,
which meant that he wasn’t lying. Brandon really put her in an important position,
so that she could take on important projects for the Larson Group.
A smile formed in Vivian's lips, and the flames of revenge in her heart had been
stoked.
Upon seeing the malice in Vivian's eyes and her devilish grin, Natalie felt a chill
run down her spine. She looked down to hide her fear from Vivian. This woman
was much like Charis. She was unpredictable and frightening to boot.
After chatting with Natalie for a little bit longer, Vivian decided that it was time to
leave. Just as they walked out of the studio, they happened to run into Draco.
Vivian's eyes lit up when she saw him. He was so much more handsome in
reality than on TV and magazines. “It's nice to see you, Mr. Wesley. I've long
been looking forward to meeting you,” Vivian said to him.
She then heaved a sigh and remarked, “The culture and work environment of W
Marks Studio is amazing. If I wasn’t working for the Larson Group, I would
definitely want to work here as a designer.” C
The corners of Draco’s mouth twitched, and he replied indifferently, “Not
everyone can be a part of W Marks though.”
Though she was embarrassed by his response, Vivian didn’t want to offend him.
Thus, she decided to change the topic. “I heard that you were hospitalized a few
days ago. Are you feeling better now?” 3
“Who told you that I was in the hospital?” Draco looked at her warily. Only a few
people knew that he was hospitalized. How could Vivian possibly know about it
when she wasn't even an employee of W Marks?
Vivian's b*ody stiffened when she realized that she had made a gaffe.
She had previously investigated everyone in W Marks Studio that was connected
to Natalie. Of course, Draco Wesley was one of them. Thus, it was embarrassing
that she blurted out something she shouldn't have known just like that.
Feeling tense all over, Vivian stole a glance at Natalie to see her reaction.
Fortunately, Natalie didn't say anything. She even escorted Vivian to the door
and said, “Be careful on your way back.”
Once Vivian had left, Natalie went back to the studio. She almost stumbled down,
but she was lucky Tasha was around to catch her.
Tasha was shocked when she felt how cold Natalie's fingers were. “Are you okay,
Natalie?” she exclaimed.
“I'm fine. My mind was elsewhere, and I wasn't paying enough attention to my
steps,” Natalie said with a weak smile. The smile on her face soon disappeared
though, and a cold sweat began to break out on her back.
It was clear that Brandon's warming to be on guard against Vivian was not without
reason. From the conversation between Vivian and Draco, it was evident that
Vivian had done her homework and had thoroughly investigated the entire W
Marks Studio and all of the people connected to Natalie.
From Tasha being Seth's ex-wife to Draco’s hospitalization, there was nothing
that Vivian didn’t know about Natalie'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 Natalie thought about it, the more
uneasy she felt. Ever since 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, Natalie 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. It seemed like, after Natalie’s meeting with Vivian in the
conference room, her mood had taken a turn for the 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 a cryptic tone. Before Vivian could respond, he added, “Don’t
forget that you made a pact with me to hand over the Turner family shares.”
Before Luke and Catherine went on their overseas trip, they had asked Vivian to
sign a agreement for her to have a portion of the Turner family’s shares. Vivian
had kept the news under wraps and planned to keep the shares for herself in the
future. But she didn’t anticipate that Jeremy would find out about it so soon. As
soon as the Turner couple left, he called Vivian to demand the shares.
Vivian gritted her teeth and hissed, “Il remember, but I'm swamped with work right
now. Luke and Catherine have been abroad these days, and no one is running
the Turner Group. I'll come to you after I 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 the matter 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 find out
about it?”
Luke didn’t trust Vivian much to begin with. If he knew about this, he would
definitely cut short his trip and 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. Luke went out to buy me desserts and hasn't returned to the
hotel, so I haven't told him yet.” Catherine said in 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 by Jeremy. Vivian knew that Jeremy was warning her to
hand over her shares of the Turner Group.
