158 Cooperation

“I have nothing to talk about with my father’s mistress!” Reginald laughed in disdain.

When Leon heard this, his eyes instantly turned dark, and he clenched his fist, wanting to punch Reginald.

Vivian grabbed Leon’s arm, looked at him with a comforting gaze, and pulled him behind her.

Vivian did not get angry at Reginald’s words. Her face was calm, and she decided to get straight to the point. “Reginald, you don’t have to pick on me like this. Aren’t you just worried that the child in my stomach will take away your father’s assets? I’ll use my actions to tell you that I’m not going back since I’ve run out. Moreover, I have no interest in your family’s property.”

!!
Reginald looked at Vivian’s protruding belly and was still skeptical of her words. “My family’s wealth is enough for you to spend for a few lifetimes. Do you think I’ll believe you? You’re saying it well now, but who knows what you’re up to? Maybe you’re afraid that Valery will take your life, so you’re hiding to give birth to a child. You’ll only find a way to contact my father after you’ve given birth.”

Vivian shrugged her shoulders and thought of the plot in the original book. “Rather than worrying about your father giving away your property, why don’t you observe your father’s recent strange actions? He doesn’t have time for me right now. You probably don’t know yet, but your father’s unforgettable sweetheart, ada, has come back to look for him. She’s asking your father to give up on the two plots of land in the new district of M City.”

Reginald was stunned when he heard that. He was also curious about the two pieces of land. The meeting had already decided that the land would be used to build the largest movie city in the country after the acquisition, but he didn’t know why his father had suddenly changed his mind and decided to stop the acquisition against the pressure from the Board of Directors. He didn’t expect that was the truth.

When his mother was alive, Reginald had often heard the name ‘Edda’ from her mouth. His parents had a business marriage, and his mother loved his father, while his father had a love that he couldn’t get. Because of this, he found many women similar to Edda to be his mistresses after marriage, and his mother died of depression.

Of all the mistresses, Vivian was the most similar, so she had been pampered for so many years. Reginald had panicked when he found out that Vivian was pregnant, worried that his father would give the inheritance to Vivian’s child.

Vivian looked at Reginald’s dazed expression and continued, “You should know that in your father’s eyes, I’m nothing compared to Edda. Also, I only realized how sweet the air of freedom is after I came out. I have money and a career now. Why would I want to go back to that cage? You should understand your father’s temperament, if I go back, I can only see the ceiling of the villa.”

“I’m not willing to be trapped there waiting for him every day. So, we have the same goal now.”

“I feel like I’ll have nothing to worry about if I get rid of you,” Reginald sneered.

After Reginald finished speaking, he felt Leon’s ice-cold gaze on him.

Vivian blocked Reginald’s line of sight. “Reginald, Bruno will definitely find me if you make a move. You should know that your father hates it when people disobey his orders. I’m afraid he’ll capture me before you can even do anything for me. If that happens, you’ll have an enemy who can give your father pillow talk other than the unforgettable sweetheart.”

“You’re a smart person, why do you have to find trouble for yourself? It’s good for us to gain mutual benefit like this!”

Reginald lowered his eyes to consider the credibility of Vivian’s words. When he thought about how Vivian had expanded the company to such a large scale in just two to three months and her current quality of life, it did seem like she wanted to work hard in her career and not go back to being a Canary in the cage.

Besides, Reginald had no better choice at the moment. If the security company under Vivian were really like what Leon said, then it would be difficult for him to hide it from his father and make a move on Vivian.

After a moment’s thought, Reginald made a decision and looked straight at Vivian. “All right, I’ll work with you.”

Vivian smiled and reached out her hand. “I wish us a happy cooperation.”

“It’s a pleasure working with you,” Reginald said, shaking hands.

After the two came to an agreement, Reginald left the kitchen.
