The smile on Vivian's face disappeared when she entered the kitchen.
After opening the refrigerator to take out some ingredients to make the soup, she gnashed her teeth.
She didn't anticipate that Brandon would retaliate immediately and inform the Turners about the situation.
Based on what she had seen today, the Turners had begun to suspect her.
Vivian was worried. She was well-aware that Luke and Catherine weren't idiots. They had been grieving over Charis' death. In addition, Vivian had been taking care of them, which was why they took her in without thinking twice.
Now that Brandon had given them a warning, the Turners began suspecting her. If Luke were to find out anything, she'd get kicked out of the house for sure.
Vivian didn't want things to end like this. If she were to be found out, she wouldn't be able to avenge Charis.
For now, she decided to err on the side of caution.
In the living room.
Upon hearing the sound coming from the kitchen, Luke grabbed a chair beside Catherine, sat down, and whispered to her, "I think there's something off about Vivian. If you really want to have someone by your side, we can just adopt another
kid."
Catherine heaved a sigh. "I don't really have that sort of energy anymore."
She was no longer young. Even if they were to adopt another child, she didn't have the enough energy left in her to raise the kid.
Luke frowned at her response. "It's up to you, but either way, we can't keep Vivian here any longer. She showed up in our lives out of nowhere. And then, Allie did something like this. Isn't it strange? We just can't keep her around anymore."
Catherine seemed reluctant to do it. "She's done so much to help us through our grief. Maybe we're wrong about her."
