Vivian's heart trembled violently. She was so flustered that she couldn't speak properly. "You haven't got the remaining shares of the Turner family, have you? As long as you save me this time, I'll get it for you!"
"Well, you are no longer useful. Just give in and wait for Brandon to come and get you," Jeremy sneered.
With that, he hung up the call before Vivian could say anything else.
When Vivian heard the hurried footsteps from the staircase, she stamped her feet in anxiety. Danger was drawing close!
Left with no choice, she continued to call Jeremy while running through the large parking lot.
"Damn it!"
Jeremy's number was no longer available. Driven by extreme anger, Vivian wanted to throw her phone away. But she managed to regain her composure and looked for her car in a hurry.
When she was about to get to her car, her legs came to a sudden stop. Someone was standing beside her vehicle.
Stunned, Vivian called, "Janet?"
The moment Janet glanced back, she seemed surprised upon seeing Vivian. "Vivian, why are you here?" She put on a bright smile.
Checking the time on her watch, Janet asked, "Shouldn't you be assisting Brandon with the press conference at this time?"
Trying to calm herself down, Vivian forced out a smile. "I'm not feeling well, so I requested to have
the day off and get some rest at home."
Vivian was desperate to get inside the car. However, Janet was leaning against the driver's door with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Mrs. Larson, what's the matter? If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow. I'm feeling pretty terrible and I need to go to the hospital now."
Vivian wrapped her hands around her stomach and pretended to be in pain.
Vivian didn't think that it was a big deal for Janet to be showing up here—her husband owned this company after all.
