Chapter 433 A Frightened Vivian


    Julie was also shocked. She kept patting the back of her daughter''s hand nervously in an attempt to


    But she’d lived longer than Vivian and had experienced more things after all, so she quickly regained


    herposure.


    "Don''t panic.


    Tell me what happened this afternoon from the beginning to the end. Tell me everything Mr. Shi said to


    you," Julie said in a coaxing tone.


    Vivian held onto her mother''s hand tightly as if she was holding onto a lifeline and frantically started to


    narrate everything she remembered in detail.


    The more she spoke, the more hysterical she became. "Before he left, he said that he’ll give me an


    unforgettable wedding. Mom, I have a hunch there’s a deeper meaning to his words. What should I


    do?"


    "Vivi, calm down. Take a deep breath." After the initial shock, Julie was now able to keep her calm. She


    smoothed her daughter''s hair gently, trying to appease her. "Trust me, Mr. Shi hasn''t found anything."


    "No! He must’ve known everything!" Vivian eximed, looking visibly distraught. "He deliberately asked


    those two men toe and act in front of me. It proved that he must’ve already known about the


    matter! He was warning me!"


    "At most, he might suspect that we sent those men with Rh-negative blood away and used the


    opportunity to negotiate with him. He definitely knows nothing about us being the ones who told Sam


    about Jessica''s divorce." Julie patted her daughter''s hand gently, continuously trying to calm her down.


    "Besides, nothing can prove that we’re behind Nina''s return to C Ind. Her parents have been looking


    for her for two years. Now that they’ve found her, they’d naturally bring her back. It''s not strange that


    Nina went back to C Ind. Don''t worry."


    Julie’s logical analysis and calm tone finally soothed Vivian. Her grip on Julie’s hand gradually


    loosened.


    "You’re being paranoid." Julie sighed, took the half-drunk ss of warm water on the table, and put it in


    Vivian’s hands. "Drink this and take a deep breath."


    Vivian held the ss in her hands but didn''t do anything else. Her eyes were gazing nkly at the


    carpet.


    As the saying went, "A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder." Once a person did something wrong, they


    would get frightened easily.


    Vivian was frightened now. As her wedding date approached, the restless feeling she had in her heart


    also grew stronger and stronger. She was even starting to have nightmares.


    Her nerves had been constantly taut these days. Although some of John’s words and deeds today


    made her feel extremely excited, she didn’t dare to put her guard down.


    She was afraid that once she rxed, she would be careless and identally say or do something that


    disclosed her secret.


    John had been investigating what happened half a year ago, and Vivian, fearing that her deeds would


    But other than that, the only thing she could do was to wait—wait for either John''s love or John''s child,


    whichever came first. That way, even if the truth was exposed, John wouldn''t abandon her.


    If everything failed, she could still count on Nina.


    She knew that there was a marriage waiting for Nina on C Ind, but she didn''t know whether it had


    been carried out or not. In fact, she hadn’t been able to get any information about C Ind for the past


    six months.


    Nevertheless, John liked chaste women. Once Nina got married, Nina would be deemed "dirty" in his


    eyes. He would never want her again.


    Vivian believed she would be the final winner no matter what.


    With such a newly found conviction in mind, she finally took a deep breath and lifted the ss to her


    lips. Her eyes were burning with confidence. "Never mind. As long as we get married, everything will be


    fine," she told herself.


    "That''s right," Julie said.


    "I''m still a little worried though." Vivian wrinkled her brows and looked at her mother. "Since John can


    find out about those two people, he can also find out about who told Sam about Jessica''s divorce. It''s


    just a matter of time."


    "That''s indeed a problem, but as time goes by, it''ll be more and more difficult for them to investigate the


    matter. When I called Sam, I disguised myself, used a new SIM card and talked with a voice changer.


    After that, I threw the card away and changed my clothes. The ce I went to had no surveince


    camera. They can''t trace the matter back to us.


    However, there''s one thing I''m worried about." Julie frowned worriedly.


    "What?" Vivian asked.


    "Tell me the truth. Did you nt something on Jessica or her home to monitor her?" Julie could be very


    smart sometimes, or maybe she just knew her daughter too well.


    "How did you know about Jessica''s divorce? She must''ve wanted to keep it a secret, so it was


    impossible for her to tell anyone—not even you. It was also impossible for you to question her


    personally because it would bring you trouble,"


    Julie analyzed.


    Vivian was really surprised at how spot on Julie’s analysis was. Her mother indeed knew her very well.


    She could only admit it. "I nted a micro bug in the ne I gave her. As long as she wears the


    ne, I can hear whatever she says."


    "Have you taken it back?" Julie asked.


    "Not yet." Vivian shook her head.


    "Reckless!" Julie reprimanded crossly. "You should''ve found a way to take the ne back. The


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    longer it stays on Jessica''s neck, the riskier our situation will be."


    Vivian had wanted to take the ne back. However, she also wanted to know more about the Shi


    family so that she could win them over and gain their support after she married John, so she let the


    ne stay with Jessica.


    "I didn''t think that much. I''ll ask her out and find a way to get the ne backter," Vivian said


    regretfully.


    "Well, if you take the ne back, you have to give a new one to her. Do you still have enough


    money to buy such an expensive ne for her now?" Julie asked curtly. She was a little pissed that


    Vivian hadn''t told her about the bug. Had Vivian told her, they wouldn''t have found themselves in such


    a predicament now.


    That ne was worth over ten million dors. It wasn’t a small sum of money for Vivian. She had to


    deliberate for a long time before finally deciding to buy it for Jessica.


    In addition to the money spent on the ne, she had also spent arge sum of money to buy the


    clothing brand that customized clothes for John. Right now, it could be said that she was broke. Aside


    from some jewelry, the things she had really weren’t worth any money.


    "I''m going to sell my jewelry," Vivian said gloomily. It would be disgraceful if others knew that she had to


    sell her jewelry to get money, but she had no other choice.


    Julie''s thoughts coincided with Vivian''s. "Don''t sell them. Those with discerning eyes will easily


    recognize them as yours. Don''t do anything that might embarrass yourself now. If you’re really caught


    doing that, you''ll embarrass our family and Mr. Shi.


    Wait a minute." Julie turned around and left the room. A short whileter, she came back with a card in


    her hand and gave it to Vivian. "This is all the money I have. They should be enough to pay for a


    ne."


    When Vivian took the card, there seemed to be a warm current spreading inside her heart. She looked


    at Julie gratefully and said, "Mom, thank you."


    "Don’t mention it. I''ll bask in the reflected glory of your marriage with Mr. Shi. At that time, there will be


    a lot of people trying to befriend me to get to him, and money wille." Julie waved her hand.


    She didn’t care about the money. Once her daughter married John, she’d never have to worry about


    money anymore.
