Chapter 1099 The Turner Group Encountered A Crisis
On the second floor of the Turner family’s house, Catherine leaned against the window. She held a tissue between trembling
fingers. When the ambulance pulled away, she closed the gap in the curtains and tried to calm herself.
Catherine knew Luke’s methods better than anyone. He was a ruthless man. That was one of the reasons why many companies
didn’t dare to offend the Turners.
She heard her husband’s footsteps echo along the corridor. Catherine raised her head as Luke opened the door.

Luke was annoyed by his wife’s tearful face. “Don’t show your kindness to someone who doesn’t deserve it. We would be better
to pity ourselves.” Luke’s eyes were cold. He couldn’t understand Catherine’s continued devotion.
“I didn’t try to stop you. Now I can’t even cry for a little while?” Catherine’s face was pale. The tears she shed were silent but real.
She had loved Vivian and couldn’t bear to see her tortured to lunacy by Luke.
But she hadn’t attempted to stop him. Luke knew Catherine had accepted his decision. She had stepped aside and didn’t do
anything to stop him exacting his revenge. His attitude softened as he gazed into her red-rimmed eyes, wet with tears. He

walked across the room and comforted her gently. “Vivian is a liar. She never really treated you like a mother. Why should you
waste your tears on her? When we lost Charis, our sadness made us vulnerable. That’s why the two of us fell into her trap.”
“I know what you mean,” Catherine said, wiping her tears. When she thought about everything, she knew she had been too
impulsive in many things. For one, she should never have forced her way into the interrogation room at the Larson Group without
permission.
Catherine felt uneasy. “What did Brandon say? Will he continue to harass our family?”
Dealings between the Turner family and the Larson Group had been difficult before. After the problems with Vivian, their
relationship would only get worse.
“Don’t worry. I’ve discussed it with Brandon. It won’t affect our family.” Luke’s smile inspired confidence.
“That’s good. Although our family has a strong foundation, the Larson Group is a rising star. Brandon is thoughtful and decisive.
Even if we must fight him, I doubt we can last long.” Catherine sighed with relief. Luke was no longer the high spirited and

ambitious young man he once was. They both only wanted to enjoy their old age.
Seeing that she seemed to have calmed down, Luke offered a suggestion, “If you still want an adopted daughter, we should pick
a kind and sensible girl. Of course, we would need to confirm that she has a kind heart and will never harm the Turner family.” *
Vivian would never return, and Luke would never allow her back into their lives.

Catherine sat on the bed and shook her head. She felt absolutely exhausted. Her bones ached from the emotional strain. “I’m
afraid to try again. People change. If we brought back another girl like Vivian, I couldn’t bear it.”
What had happened felt like a nightmare. “It’s good that you can move on.” Luke squeezed her hand. The phone in his pocket
rang, and his eyes lit up.
“Who is it? Why are you so happy?” Catherine said.
trying to distract herself from her grief. “I asked my secretary to take back the shares we gave to Vivian. He’s probably calling to
report the result.” Luke picked up the phone and asked, “How is it going?”
“Mr. Turner, its bad news, I’m afraid. You can’t reclaim the shares you gave to Vivian.” The secretary sounded anxious.
Luke fell onto the bed. His voice trembled when he asked, What do you mean? Why can’t I get back the shares?”
“Because Vivian transferred her shares to a third party. That third party has already collected a lot of shares in the Turner Group.
Their stake in the company is almost as large as yours and Mrs. Turner’s.” The secretary’s voice grew quiet. “Mr. Turner, can you
cto the company and deal with it quickly? I’m afraid the company might have a change of ownership.”
Luke lowered his arm and sighed helplessly. “I was too careless. 1 didn’t expect that Vivian would leave another disaster for us.”
“Who took her shares and purchased more of them from other shareholders?” Catherine’s mind was in chaos. She saw that
Luke looked afraid, and her anxiety spiked. She couldn’t calm down at all.
The Turner Group was the most important thing in the world to Luke. Who would be vicious enough to take advantage of their
recent tragedy and purchase the shares?
“Don’t worry. I’ll go to the company and see how best to deal with it.” Luke’s head felt as though it might overheat. Pain darted
between his eyes. When he stood up, he felt dizzy. The next second, he just passed out.
