The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 668

Chapter 668

The medical staff behaved as though Vivian was worthless cargo. They ignored the humanity of their prisoner. At one point the stretcher tilted, and Vivian would have fallen to the ground had she not been strapped in place. She sobbed for help. Sean lost himself in her eyes. She was struggling and crying, completely lucid and aware of what was happening.

He suspected Luke was lying when he claimed Vivian was mad. This was her punishment. Revenge for the shame Vivian had brought to the family.

Vivian would spend the rest of her life in torment. “Why are you looking at her like that? Are you sympathizing with Vivian?” Luke glanced at Sean. A weird smile marred his features.

“She doesn’t deserve my sympathy.” Sean then turned away and entered the villa to grab the box. When the van holding Vivian left, the villa was quiet again.

Sean gazed around the spacious and brightly lit living room, realizing he hadn’t seen Catherine.

Catherine had loved Vivian. She had tried to give the girl a happy life and a hopeful future. Sean wondered what Catherine would think if she saw Vivian strapped down and raving.

“What are you looking at? Vivian’s things are all here.” Luke approached Sean and stared at him curiously.

Sean looked down at the box before he picked it up. He weighed it in his hands and smiled. “I was just thinking how lovely your living room looks.” Then he got in the car and left.

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.” *
