Chapter 1099 The Turner Group Encountered A Cri...


    On the second floor of the Turner family''s house, Catherine leaned against the window. She held a


    tissue between trembling fingers. When the ambnce pulled away, she closed the gap in the


    curtains and tried to calm herself.


    Catherine knew Luke''s methods better than anyone. He was a ruthless man. That was one of the


    reasons why manypanies didn''t dare to offend the Turners.


    She heard her husband''s footsteps echo along the corridor. Catherine raised her head as Luke


    opened the door.


    Luke was annoyed by his wife''s tearful face.


    "Don''t show your kindness to someone who doesn''t deserve it. We would be better to pity


    ourselves." Luke''s eyes were cold. He couldn''t understand Catherine''s continued devotion.


    "I didn''t try to stop you. Now I can''t even cry for a little while?" Catherine''s face was pale. The tears


    she shed were silent but real. She had loved Vivian and couldn''t bear to see her tortured to lunacy


    by Luke.


    But she hadn''t attempted to stop him.


    Luke knew Catherine had epted his decision. She had stepped aside and didn''t do anything to


    stop him exacting his revenge. His attitude softened as he gazed into her red-rimmed eyes, wet with


    tears. He walked across the room andforted her gently. "Vivian is a liar. She never really


    treated you like a mother. Why should you waste your tears on her? When we lost Charis, our


    sadness made us vulnerable. That''s why the two of us fell into her


    trap."


    "I know what you mean," Catherine said, wiping her tears. When she thought about everything, she


    knew she had been too impulsive in many things. For one, she should never have forced her way


    into the interrogation room at the Larson Group without permission.


    Catherine felt uneasy. "What did Brandon say? Will he continue to harass our family?"


    Dealings between the Turner family and the Larson Group had been difficult before. After the


    problems with Vivian, their rtionship would only get worse.


    "Don''t worry. I''ve discussed it with Brandon. It won''t affect our family." Luke''s smile inspired


    confidence.


    "That''s good. Although our family has a strong foundation, the Larson Group is a rising star.


    Brandon is thoughtful and decisive. Even if we must fight him, I doubt we canst long." Catherine


    sighed with relief. Luke was no longer the high spirited and ambitious young man he once was.


    They both only wanted to enjoy their old age.


    Seeing that she seemed to have calmed down, Luke offered a suggestion, "If you still want an


    adopted daughter, we should pick a kind and sensible girl. Of course, we would need to confirm that


    she has a kind heart and will never harm the Turner family."


    Vivian would never return, and Luke would never allow her back into their lives.


    Catherine sat on the bed and shook her head. She felt absolutely exhausted. Her bones ached from


    the emotional strain. "I''m afraid to try again. People change. If we brought back another girl like


    Vivian, I couldn''t bear it."


    What had happened felt like a nightmare.


    "It''s good that you can move on." Luke squeezed her hand. The phone in his pocket rang, and his


    eyes lit up.


    "Who is it? Why are you so happy?" Catherine said, trying to distract herself from her grief.


    "I asked my secretary to take back the shares we gave to Vivian. He''s probably calling to report the


    result." Luke picked up the phone and asked, "How is it going?"

    "Mr. Turner, it''s bad news, I''m afraid. You can''t reim the shares you gave to Vivian." The


    secretary sounded anxious.


    Luke fell onto the bed. His voice trembled when he asked, "What do you mean? Why can''t I get


    back the shares?"


    "Because Vivian transferred her shares to a third party. That third party has already collected a lot of


    shares in the Turner Group. Their stake in thepany is almost asrge as yours and Mrs.


    Turner''s." The secretary''s voice grew quiet. "Mr. Turner, can youe to thepany and deal


    with it quickly? I''m afraid thepany might have a change of ownership."


    Luke lowered his arm and sighed helplessly. "I was too careless. I didn''t expect that Vivian would


    leave another disaster for us."


    "Who took her shares and purchased more of them from other shareholders?" Catherine''s mind


    was in chaos. She saw that Luke looked afraid, and her anxiety spiked. She couldn''t calm down at


    all.


    The Turner Group was the most important thing in the world to Luke. Who would be vicious enough


    to take advantage of their recent tragedy and purchase the shares?


    "Don''t worry. I''ll go to thepany and see how best to deal with it." Luke''s head felt as though it


    might overheat. Pain darted between his eyes. When he stood up, he felt dizzy.


    The next second, he just passed out.
