Chapter 1046
The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 1046 Asking For Shares
“I’m fine. My mind was elsewhere, and I wasn’t paying enough attention to my steps,” J 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 warning 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 J.
From Tasha being Seth’s ex-wife to Draco’s hospitalization, there was nothing that Vivian didn’t know
about J’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 J 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, J 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,
congrattions 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 J’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 aplishment, 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.” Jeremyughed 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 nned
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, “I 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’lle to you after
I finish my work here.”
Before Jeremy could respond, Vivian ended the call.
Vivian’s strategy was to y 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.
But now she still needed to pacify Catherine, so she immediately exined, “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!”
