The family gathering that happened at this moment could only mean one thing.
And the consequences of that scare Zachary.
If their families punished them accordingly and stripped them of their already meager assets, the situation would definitely worsen.
"Vivi, are you sure about this?"
Zachary's last choice was to put his hopes on Vivian.
"Let's cross that bridge when we get there!"
There was a deep frown on Vivian's eyebrows.
After that, she slipped a glimpse of Cyril, who had been standing glued to her place, as she got into the car with Zachary and Jessica.
"Investigate Vivian's relationship with Jenkinses soon. I want a thorough report in half an hour! "
Cyril issued his order using an ancient cell phone.
"Master, don't worry. I'll do it soon! Besides, the people from before are keeping an eye on you. Do you need me to handle them? "
The aggressive man, who was hidden in close quarters, asked his question hesitantly.
"No, no need!"
Cyril answered briefly.
"Yes, Master!"
The man did not dare to delay as he hung up the phone and ran out.
The Jenkins are a rather influential family in Quinston.
Zachary is just one of their descendants.
Six years ago, Vivian had been adept at setting up her own company with her prowess at a young age.
She was hailed as a family star overnight.
But the good times don't last long. After the incident involving Cyril, the situation underwent a 180 degree change.
Jenkinses forcibly took control of Vivien's company under the guise of restoring the family's honor.
And after Vivian gave birth to Dora, who was seen as a scapegoat by her other extended family, her family looked at her with great disgust.
He is scorned and denigrated, eventually taking responsibility for a construction company that is on the verge of bankruptcy.
With Vivian's commitment to saving the company, it is gradually getting back on track.
However, misfortune re-emerged not long after, when the company was accused of using lesser materials.
In addition, there has been a work accident that resulted in death.
Once again, Vivian's predicament was a mess.
This sudden family gathering should center on the incidental death of the construction worker.
There were more than a dozen people sitting in the conference room of a luxurious villa.
The person at the head of the table was an old woman, and her graying hair was clearly visible.
While the woman could not hide her age, the mahogany stick clasped tightly in her hand and the sharp sharp glare she showed at people spoke volumes about her austerity. No one dared to lock a gaze with her because of her imposing presence.
She is the head of Jenkinses, Laura Carter, also known as Old Mrs. Carters!
In the foundation years of the Jenkinses establishment, its growth was chaotic. After some fluctuations, another tragedy struck and Old Man Carter died in a car accident.
Therefore, even though Old Lady Carter was almost 80 years old and had retired from an official position of power, the respect she received was not lacking at all.
"Grandmother, this is a century-old ginseng I've earned with great difficulty. It has great benefits for your health. After consuming this, it wouldn't be surprising if you lived for another 100 years! "
A young man rushed into the conference room with a transparent glass box in his hand.
The ginseng was in the box.
As soon as Old Mistress Carter noticed the young man, a satisfied smile appeared on his wrinkled and solemn face.
"Howard, your sincerity touches me!"
"Grandma, look what you said. Your longevity is the combined hope of our family! "
Howard maintained his grim and heartfelt expression.
He proceeded to scan his surroundings.
He narrowed his eyes as his gaze slowly became menacing.
He then sneered, "Vivian was told about this meeting a long time ago. I didn't think he was too late! "
The eyes of old Mistress Carter flashed dangerously for a moment.
The mention of Vivian reminded him of the humiliation he inflicted on Jenkinses. Coupled with the fact that Vivian had shamefully given birth to the child, a ball of anger was lit at Old Mrs. Carters.
Time has not succeeded in removing the shame it suffered.
In contrast to Vivian, Howard's thoughtful behavior greatly comforted her.
Therefore, he doted on Howard more significantly as well.
"Grandmother, I don't know. Have you heard that the man who humiliated our family with Vivian has also returned? "
Howard interrupted Old Mrs Carter.
"What?"
Old Lady Carter's student shriveled.
But they returned to normal after a while.
"Why did that useless person come back? Will he come back to borrow some more money? "
Old Mrs Carter snorted before falling silent.
Howard looked at his frustration, and a smile flashed across his face.
He swore to himself, "Vivian, if I don't get rid of you this time, I'll be ashamed to have wasted the good opportunity you gave us!"
Although Jenkinses must have already secretly appointed him as the future patriarch, Vivian's ability made her uneasy.
Among the Jenkinses, Vivian was the only one who was competent enough to prevail over her, either in terms of ability or age.
Facing this kind of formidable opponent, he had to obliterate all of his chances of survival to prevent him from making a potential counterattack.
"Mother!"
At this moment, a besuited middle-aged man entered the room. Julius Jenkins is the current patriarch, as well as Howard's father, and he steps in with pride.
Following closely behind her are the trio of Zachary, Jessica, and Vivian.
"Vivian, did you admit your mistake?"
