The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 635

But now she still needed to pacify Catherine, so she immediately explained, “It's
true. I have been working at the Larson Group recently.”

Just as Catherine got furious and was about to hang up the phone, Vivian
begged, “But I have my own cross to bear. Mom, you must hear me out!”
Catherine had planned to hang up the phone and brush Vivian off like
yesterday's news.

The Turner family and the Larson Group were like oil and water, completely
incompatible. Vivian knew this but had deliberately chosen to work with the
Larson Group; it was a clear indication that she held the Turner family in
contempt.

Catherine had once held Vivian in high esteem, but now it seemed that Vivian
was nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing, not to be trusted.

But when Catherine heard Vivian crying, her heart melted like butter, and she
decided to give Vivian a fair hearing before deciding anything.

“The only reason I work in the Larson Group is to help the children that Charis
had funded before.” Vivian's voice was ch*oked with emotion, “When I visited the
children in the welfare house, I found that they were living a life of quiet
desperation. After Charis’ death, her previous position at the Larson Group had
been left vacant. Brandon didn’t give a hoot about those orphans. I was also
once a child from the welfare house, so I could empathize with them. If Charis
knew that these children were in such dire straits, she'd feel bad for them. So, as
soon as I entered the Larson Group, I began to help these children find other
suitable sponsors. Once the task is completed, I will immediately resign from the
Larson Group.”

Vivian spoke with a sense of purpose.

On the other end of the phone, Catherine was left speechless. Vivian could
sense the change in Catherine, as Charis was a soft spot for her. Besides, Vivian
had promised to quit the Larson Group in the future, so Catherine wouldn't hold
anything against her anymore. Sure enough, Catherine’s tone was not as frosty
as before. She said helplessly and worriedly, “Charis cared about those children
very much before. Remember to see it through to the end.”

Catherine thought it over. “You must leave the Larson Group before I and Luke
come back. If Luke finds out that you are working for Brandon, you won't be able
to talk your way out of it no matter what. The person who sent me the
anonymous message must have an ulterior motive. You should also practice
caution.”

Vivian nodded in agreement. She said something nice obediently to appease
Catherine.

After hanging up the phone, Vivian was so livid that she stood up from the sofa
and wanted to smash her phone to smithereens. Jeremy was always pulling her
strings like a puppet master!

Damn Jeremy! She wouldn't be at his beck and call this time!

Taking a deep breath, Vivian held her phone tightly and called Jeremy.

“Are you finally available to talk to me now?”

There was contempt and banter in Jeremy's tone as if he was talking to a
misbehaved child.

Vivian was disgusted with Jeremy's attitude. It was clear as day that he never
took her seriously.

“You did it, didn’t you?” Vivian gritted her teeth and trembled with anger, nearly
bursting.

Jeremy was not about to beat around the bush. “You'd better sign the share
transfer contract now before you find yourself in a catch-22. If I tell Luke about it,
you will be doomed.”

“Are you going to push me off a cliff?” Vivian's eyes widened in anger.

“I don't want to waste my time on you. I will only give you half an hour to fax me
the document. Otherwise, you won't like the aftermath of what I'm gonna do!”
After saying that, Jeremy hung up the phone.

Vivian had no choice but to transfer her shares to Jeremy. She had been worried
that this matter would come to light, but she didn’t expect that Jeremy was so
powerful that he had concealed it from the public. No one knew that a part of the
shares of the Turner family had fallen into the hands of an outsider, not even the
Turner couple.

On day two, Vivian went to work. Before entering the Larson Group's building,
she heard her name being called from behind.

“Vivian.”

She froze and twisted her head tensely as she recognized the voice.

Jeremy stood before Vivian with hands in his pockets. The wide shoulders and
long legs of Jeremy were particularly striking. He grinned ever so slightly. Despite
his kind demeanor, he gave off an icy vibe.

Vivian stepped back unconsciously.

“What... Why are you back?” Vivian asked shakily. Her legs grew weak, and she
was frightened. She couldn't believe that Jeremy would suddenly come back.
Jeremy ignored her question. Instead, he changed the topic and asked casually,
“Do you have time now? It's too cold outside. How about we warm up with a cup
of coffee? My treat.”

Despite Vivian's fear of Jeremy, she couldn't refuse his invitation. He was
behaving so kindly towards her, and he sounded so warm and courteous. She
doubted that the Jeremy she was looking at now was the same one from the
ruthless and cunning Jeremy over the phone.

When they reached the coffee shop, the mellow fragrance of coffee wafted
through their noses.

Vivian ordered a cup of black coffee and saw her restless reflection staring back
at her in the coffee. She had chosen this coffee shop for her safety as the shop
was always packed with people. If anything were to happen, there would be
witnesses.

“Are you here to supervise me?” Vivian joked awkwardly, with anxiety written all
over her face.

Despite looking amiable on the surface, she and Jeremy were actually at odds
with each other. Vivian knew that Jeremy was a snake from their previous
encounters, and she knew she had to be wary of him.

Jeremy crossed his legs and said calmly, “I just started an experimental project at
home, so I'm back to oversee it. How are you recently? I heard you're doing a
good job in the Larson Group.”

Vivian forced a smile and replied, “I'm busy dealing with some charity and public
relations projects in the Larson Group.”

Jeremy stared at her and said blankly, “You always get what you want, no matter
how difficult it is. You're a smart girl, and I always know you will succeed in
whatever you set your mind on.”
