Chapter 294
The Contract Marriage
Chapter 294 Would Associate It With You Vivian did not complain either. She looked at her motherâs expression and continued, âI gave that person a million dollars. Later Jasmine Wilson found a lawyer. In the end, the compensation was 1.8 million. I had no choice but to give another 800,000. But that person took the money yet he did not give a single cent to Sarah and stuffed all of it into his own pocket.â
âHe did not dare to spend a single cent of the money. Until two days ago, he thought that this matter had already passed for more than four months, there would definitely not be anyone who would notice.
Felix took his girlfriend to the shopping mall to buy things. In the end, he spent tens of thousands at once. However, no one expected Jasmine to hire a Private Detective behind Felix. Just like that, Felix was taken away by the police the next day. I thought those police wouldnât come to find us so soon, but who knew. . .â
In the end, tears rolled down Vivianâs face again. âMom, what should I do now? Lucas went in this time.
Mom, help me think of something!â
âI. . . How can I help you think of a way? Look at what kind of sins you have committed. When you married into the Cooper Family, it was so good for you to live a good life. You just didnât listen to me. I thought itâs going to be like this for a while. If I had known this would happen, I would have married you to Lucas back then. . .â
Mrs. Holmes was also at a loss as to what to do. When she heard her daughter talk about this matter, her mind went blank. She sat on the bed for a long time, unable to recover from her shock.
âMom! Donât talk about me anymore. Whatâs the use of saying these words now? Now that things have come to this, the most important thing now is what should I do?â Vivian sat on the bed in a daze.
Mrs. Holmes looked at her daughter. Although she was angry that Vivian did not live up to her expectations, Vivian was still her own daughter after all. After being silent for a long time, she looked at her and asked. âOh right, the Felix you just mentioned, has he seen you before?â
Vivian shook her head, âNo! It had always been Lucas who contacted him. That Felix did not know about my existence.â
This was the only thing that made her feel gratified.
âThatâs good. If thatâs really the case, I think Lucas definitely wonât expose you. After all, you two still have a child. I see that Lucas also has feelings for you. He will not be so heartless. . .â After Mrs.
Holmes heard Vivianâs words, she let out a sigh of relief.
When Vivian heard her motherâs words, her tears kept falling. âBut just now. . . I heard that the police said. . . That he deliberately killed. . . Mom, how did it become such a heavy crime? What should I do now?â
This kind of result was completely unexpected by Vivian previously. Of course, the thing she did not expect the most was the truth to be exposed.
âThinking about it, this kind of thing is also done on purpose to kill people. But luckily Sarah is fine.
Now, the most important thing was that if the people of Cooper Family knew about this, what if they suspect you in this with Lucasâs relationship with you? And Lucas, how would he tell the police about your relationship with him? This is the most important thing!â
Mrs. Holmesâs heart tightened as she spoke.
Vivian listened to her motherâs words and sat blankly on the bed for a long time, unable to recover her senses.
When she did this matter back then, she did not think that the consequences would be so severe. But now, even if she regretted it, it was already too late.
âMom, quickly help me think of a way! I donât want to go to jail! I canât go to jail either!â Vivian looked at her mother for help, feeling a little lost.
âVivian, donât be anxious! Things are already like this. Whatâs more, Lucas will definitely not give you away. The most important thing now is that after the people of Cooper Family know about this, Julian originally wanted to divorce you and marry Ruby. If he knew that you were involved in Sarahâs car accident, he would definitely file for divorce. At that time, we wonât be able to stop him anymore.â
After all, Vivian was her daughter. Although Mrs. Holmes knew that Vivian had done something wrong, at this moment, even if she wanted to regret it, there was no way out.
âI canât leave Cooper Family! Now that something has happened to Lucas, I canât let that happen! It wasnât easy for me to get to where I am today. I canât be swept away by the people of Cooper Family just like that! If thatâs really the case, I wonât even get a single cent of the property!â
Vivian was very clear in her heart. If the people of Cooper Family suspected that she was the mastermind behind Sarahâs accident, with Christian Cooperâs character, Vivian was sure he wonât let her off lightly.
At that time, even if Lucas didnât confess to her, her outcome wouldnât be any better.
âBut Lucas is still working in Cooper Group today. The people of Cooper Family already knew about your relationship with Lucas. If they knew Sarahâs accident was done by him, even an idiot would associate it with you! This matter is not easy to handle!â
Hearing Vivianâs words, Mrs. Holmes shook her head. With such an obvious relationship, the people of Cooper Family were not fools. They would definitely think of Vivian.
âThen what should we do? Am I supposed to accept my fate just like that?â Vivian was so anxious that her tears fell out.
She had not gotten what she wanted. If she was chased out of the Cooper Familyâs house and left the house, she would not be satisfied!
âSigh. . . I donât know what to do. If the people of the Cooper Family knew the truth. . . Stephen will not be given to you either! If you divorce Julian, then there will be nothing left! Even you and Lucasâs daughter will be gone. . . Sigh. . .â Mrs. Holmes sighed. She also did not know what to do about this matter.
Listening to her motherâs words, Vivian thought about it and looked at her mother. She said, âForget it, Mom. You go out and cook first. I will think about what to do myself! â
âAlright!â Mrs. Holmes also could not think of any clues. She stood up and looked at her daughter and said, âThe most important thing now is to distract the Cooper Familyâs attention. Tell them not to keep staring at this matter. That will be good. Now it seems that it is impossible. . .â
Mrs. Holmes said as she shook her head and walked out of her daughterâs room.
Seeing her mother close the door, Vivian thought about what her mother just said and her body paralyzed on the bed.
What to do?
What should she do?
Even if Lucas didnât tell expose her, the people of Cooper Family wouldnât let her go easily! Even the child couldnât be obtained! If she left the Cooper family with nothing in her hand. . .
No! Absolutely not!
Vivian sat on the bed for a while and felt that she could not wait like this. She thought she could still hear some news when she returned to the Cooper Family, so she tidied her clothes and walked out of the room with her bag.
Mrs. Holmes saw that Vivian was about to leave and immediately ran over to drag Vivian into the room to ask.
âWhat are you going back to do now?â Mrs. Holmes looked at her daughter nervously.
âMom, I need to go back and find if Cooper Family has heard the news. If the police informed Sarah, I can also think of what to do at the first moment. I canât find anything here. I canât wait to die here!â
âThen. . . Alright! But if something big happens, you have to tell me. Got it?â Mrs. Holmes was worried that something would happen to her daughter.
âOkay! I know, Mom!â Vivian nodded and said a few more words to her mother before she took her bag and went downstairs. After walking out of the neighborhood, she stopped a taxi by the road and went back to Villa of Cooper Family.
When Vivian returned to Villa of Cooper Family, the people from the Cooper Family had already had dinner. Vivian was worried that the people from the Cooper Family had heard something about the accident so she had been chatting with everyone in the living room.
Daphne came back earlier today from the hospital. She was a little tired these two days, so she prepared to go home and rest today.
After dinner, the people of Cooper Family were all chatting on the four-ringed sofa in the living room.
Daphne carried Stephen and kept teasing him.
Vivian was sitting at the side, a little absent-minded. But on the surface, she was still sitting beside mother-in-law. She teased Stephen like a real mother.
The family sat on the sofa and chatted for about half an hour. Then Old Master Cooper went back to his room to rest. Julian also went upstairs. He wanted to call Ruby and talk to her. Vivian sent him upstairs.
Vivian helped him into Rubyâs room and then closed the door for him. She then returned to the living room downstairs.
Just as she was about to walk to the four-ringed sofa, Vivian heard Sarahâs phone ring. Her heart jumped a few times, and she had an unnatural expression on her face.
But she still pretended that nothing happened and sat beside Daphne. She reached out and carried Stephen over. While teasing Stephen, she pricked up her ears and listened to Sarahâs voice across from her.
âMs. Jasmine.â The person who called was Jasmine. Sarah looked at the number on the phone and smiled as she picked it up. She was still holding Simona in her arms.
âSarah, let me tell you something!â Jasmine, who was on the other end of the phone, sounded a little serious today.
Sarah smiled and nodded, âOkay, Ms. Jasmine, tell me.â
âAfter the accident last time, I found a Private Detective to follow that Felix. Guess what I found two days ago?â Jasmine kept her in suspense.
Sarah could not help but smile, âIsnât it just a car accident? What else can we find?â
Vivian heard her words and her heart was pounding nervously. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Daphne was also curious and wanted to hear clearly.
Vivian raised her hand and silently pinched Stephenâs inner thigh.
âWah!â Stephen was in so much pain that he cried out loud.
Vivian immediately pretended to be distressed and coaxed Stephen. She even looked at Daphne, who was beside her. âMom, what happened to him?â
When Daphne heard that Stephen was crying, she did not have the mood to listen to the content on the phone. She reached out and carried Stephen over, coaxing him nonstop.
âMom, I think he wants you to get up and walk around.â Vivian looked at Daphne and also frowned anxiously.
Seeing Stephen crying nonstop, Daphne nodded. She felt that what Vivian said made some sense so she carried Stephen and stood up.
Vivian also stood up immediately. She stretched out her hand to hug Stephen, âMom, you have been tired for the whole day. Let me do it!â
But when her hand reached over, Stephen turned his face and continued to cry even loudly.
âForget it. Let me hug him.â Daphne looked at her grandson and immediately gently coaxed Stephen to walk out of the sofa.
Vivian sat back on the sofa again. She saw that it was inconvenient for Sarah to carry the child. She walked over and signaled Sarah to give the child to herself.
Sarah immediately nodded and let Vivian carry the child away. Then she said to the phone, âIt is Stephen who is crying. He is fine now. Ms. Jasmine, say it. Iâm listening.â
