Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1084

Luke's expression turned from shock to rage as he went through the materials.

Slamming the documents on the table, he yelled, "We should never have adopted Vivian at all!"

A chill ran down Catherine's spine. What could cause Vivian to do such a thing? Vivian had promised her that she would leave the Larson Group soon. Had she been lying?

It all made sense to Luke when he saw the odd look on Catherine's face. He sputtered, unable to believe it, "You were aware she had been working in Brandon's company? You knew?"

Catherine lifted her head and met Luke's eyes. Minutes passed and she did not utter a word.

Luke's anger grew at Catherine's silence. He angrily got up, tossed the cake to the floor and stormed off. Before he walked out, he swiveled around to face Johanna in anger. "I'll return home immediately to personally handle this matter. Don't worry!" With that, he left, Catherine hurrying after him.

Johanna smiled at the receding figures of the couple.

Just then, Beal stepped in, holding an ice cream cone from outside the restaurant in his hand. As he saw the two angrily storming off, he asked curiously, "Have you finished talking with them already, honey? That was quick!"

"I know, right? Luke was extremely furious. He won't be letting Vivian off the hook so easily this time." Johanna's mood lifted as she saw the icecream in Beal's hand. She took the spoon and tasted it. She let out a sigh as it landed on her taste buds. "It tastes just as it did before. Here, you taste it too." Beal couldn't help but shiver as he ate the ice-cream

Johanna fed him. His face contorted at the cold and he said, "It's winter in Mexico now, honey. I'm too old to down food for young people."

Johanna's preferences were strange as she liked to eat food regardless of whether it was in accordance with the season. However, Beal always spoiled her. "I told you to exercise more with me. You're always in the study, and you never move around. Now you understand why good health is important." With a smile, Johanna looked him up and down and said, "It seemed to me Catherine dotes on Vivian a lot. Despite how angry Luke was, she didn't utter a word. Luke on the other hand, is quite different. He won't allow Vivian to destroy his company."

Janet was surprised to see Catherine with her mother at the interrogation room. She asked Johanna, "Did you call her back, mom?"

"Yes I did. Vivian is part of the Turner family and Catherine had the right to know what happened." Johanna receded a few steps with Janet and said, "Also, I'm sure Catherine must have a lot to ask Vivian face to face."
