Chapter 887 Give The Shares To Vivian
Of course, Vivianâs main objective was to secure the Turner family shares. That was the reason Jeremy
had sent her there. Sheâd been worrying about how to bring the topic up naturally, but now Catherine
had conveniently done it for her by revealing their plan to give her the shares anyway.
âIt puts me in a bit of an awkward position, mom,â she said. âThereâs really no need for you to give me
the shares.â Vivian spoke as though her priority was the Turner family. âIf you give me the shares
rashly, it might upset the shareholders,â she said. âAfter all, Iâm not even a blood relative. You and
father are still young, and the Turner Group canât develop without you. Shares play no part in my
staying here, anyway.â
Vivianâs flat-out refusal of the shares made her appear sincere.
She still didnât understand why Catherine had brought up the shares to begin with, though. Perhaps it
had been a test, and Vivian had been too shrewd to fall for it.
After hearing Vivian say her piece, Luke seemed to relax a little.
âThatâs a very reasonable attitude, Vivian,â he said. Lukeâs praise had a touch of parental affection.
Luke had been wary of Vivian, but her refusal of the shares quelled his suspicions.
Vivian was keenly aware of Lukeâs feelings. It had been easy for her to deceive Catherine, but
deceiving Luke was far less simple. As a businessman, Luke was highly discerning.
Catherine and Luke shared a look, silently understanding one another, and signifying the end of the
conversation.
âThen weâll talk about that later.â Catherine smiled warmly and continued to fill Vivianâs plate.
Halfway through the meal, Catherine turned to Luke. âWhereâs the destination?â she asked.
âLetâs go to Hokkaido,â Luke replied. âWouldnât you like to see the snow? Itâs the snow season now.
Anyway, if you like that idea, Iâll ask my assistant to book the flights today.â
Vivian was surprised. âAre you going on a trip?â she asked.
Catherine nodded. âI floated the idea past Luke before he went to hospital. Weâve had too much on our
plates over the past six months. We need to unwind. Now that the companyâs workload has been
reduced, we finally have time.â At the mention of the past, Catherineâs face grew weary. âWeâll leave the
villa to you then,â she said. Catherine handed the key to the villa to Vivian.
Vivian clasped the key tightly in one hand. âDonât worry,â she said seriously. âAs long as Iâm here,
nothing bad will happen.â
A few days later, at the Barnes international airport.
Vivian passed Catherine the suitcase. âIâve packed up all yours and dadâs medication and put them on
your backpack,â she reminded her. âIâve also set alarms on your phone to remind you when to take
them.â
Catherine put her hand on her heart. âYouâre so considerate,â she murmured. Catherine was
touched.
Turning to Luke, she said, âHave you given Vivian the document?â
âI only just got it from the lawyers,â Luke replied. âDonât stress.â Luke passed Vivian a file.
Vivian looked at it curiously. âWhatâs this?â she asked. Opening the file, she saw that it contained a
share transfer form.
Vivian paused, and Catherine patted her on the shoulder. âDonât worry,â she said soothingly. âYour
father has taken care of everything. No one will dare gossip. Youâre our child.â
Vivianâs eyes filled with tears. She signed her name on the document and gave Catherine a big hug.
Luke took the form back from Vivian and said, âIâve investigated you before. Youâre funded by both
Charis and Brandon. Please keep in mind, I donât want you to have anything to do with Brandon in the
future.â
Vivian bowed her head. âOf course,â she replied. âI know what I should and shouldnât do.â Vivian
maintained an obedient disposition.
As Catherine and Luke boarded the plane, she watched them leave through tear-filled eyes.
Only once the plane was in the sky did she raise her head and dry her tears.
âFinally,â she muttered. âThe performance is over. I thought theyâd never leave.â
Vivian fished out her phone and gazed down at the photos of Janet and Draco holding one another that
were going viral. At last, she was in a good mood. âI didnât expect the paparazzi to work so quickly,â she
said with a smile.
