Chapter 353
From here on, she only needed Adrian’s cooperation.
Vivian was mentally prepared, waiting for him to reject her.
“Five percent of the shares? Fine p>
“No? Then what should I p>
Vivian’s words, which had just begun, were instantly defeated by his two words of agreement. She stood frozen in place, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Did she mishear it just now?
It seems like Adrian agreed?
Five percent of the shares?
She had previously gained some understanding of the Blackwood Group’s profitability. Although it was just scratching the surface, based on what she knew, if Adrian really gave her five percent of his shares, her worth would skyrocket in the future.
But… how could he agree?
Vivian looked at him in disbelief.
“Adrian, you p>
Is he really willing to give her five percent of the shares just to cut off all ties with her?
Is he really capable of doing this?
Realizing that he would only do it for Eva, Vivian felt as if she were about to grind her teeth to pieces.
But thinking of her goal, she suppressed her emotions and smiled. “Adrian, you really wouldn’t be willing to give me five percent of the shares, right? That’s five percent, you know p>
Hearing this, Adrian looked up at her. “Do you think it’s a lot p>
Vivian asked, “Isn’t it p>
“Then let’s add another five percent, making it ten percent for you p>
Vivian’s heart skipped a beat. “Wh-what p>
She thought she misheard again, and her heart raced.
“You want to give me ten percent of the shares p>
It was too exciting. Vivian felt like she was about to agree. After all, she had originally used the incident of saving him just to stay by his side, right?
Even now, wanting to be by his side was also for the future position of the president’s wife.
Why did she want to be the president’s wife? Wasn’t it for the money?
If she could really get ten percent of the shares, why would she still pursue it?
Vivian’s heart raced, but Adrian didn’t even look up. He coldly said, “Yes, but we need to sign an agreement. After you receive these ten percent of the shares, we will sever all ties. Everything I have said before will be cancelled, and you will not mention those things again p>
Vivian admitted that she was really tempted.
She hadn’t even thought that he would give her five percent of the shares, but not only did he give it, he added another half.
Just to distance himself from her and be with Eva p>
The initially clear public sentiment took a wrong turn at this point.
Vivian bit her lip, still unwilling in her heart.
Actually… if it weren’t for Eva’s interference, let alone these ten percent of the shares, in the future, the entire Blackwood family would belong to her children, and Adrian’s person would also be hers.
And now she could only take ten percent of the shares. On what basis?
Why should she let Eva have it?
Clearly, all of this could be hers!
Thinking of this, Vivian firmly decided in her heart.
Vivian made a firm decision and looked up with a wry smile at Adrian. “Adrian, I never expected you would go this far for her. But since you can, it means that my interference in your feelings towards her is no longer appropriate. In that case, I can only wish you happiness p>
Her words surprised Adrian, and he looked at her unexpectedly. “Did you just agree p>
Vivian nodded gently. “I think you’re right. Adults should maintain their dignity, and constant entanglement is indecent. Although I really like you, it’s incredibly difficult for two people to truly love each other. So, I have no choice but to bless you both and hope you will always be together p>
She spoke sincerely, with calm eyes and expressions, as if she had truly let go.
Upon hearing her wish for him and Eva to be together forever, Adrian’s hostility vanished, and his lips curved slightly. “Thank you p>
Vivian felt a pang in her heart. He truly knew how to wound her emotionally.
“So, can we sign the agreement now?” she asked.
Adrian looked at her and replied, “I’ll have someone draft it and send it over tomorrow p>
“No,” Vivian shook her head. “Tonight. The ten percent shares, I’m afraid you might regret it p>
The main reason was that after tonight, she might never have another chance to be alone with him, especially while drinking.
She had to seize this opportunity.
Obtain the shares, sleep with him, and successfully conceive a child.
Moreover, it seemed that fortune favored her, deeming her pitiful and decided to lend her a hand. She was currently in her peak fertility.
As long as she could achieve pregnancy in one fell swoop and with her life-saving favor to him, did she have any reason to fear losing to Eva? Vivian strategized in her mind.
Adrian looked at her for a while, then got up to make a phone call to his lawyer.
Seeing him leave, Vivian finally saw her chance. She immediately opened her bag, took out the item her mother had given her, and poured it into one of the cups. Quickly, she unscrewed the bottle and filled the cup with wine. After filling the cup, Vivian quickly shook it, evenly dispersing the powder.
Feeling her heart pounding and almost leaping out of her chest, Vivian had never felt so despicable before, but she had no other choice.
Who made him not choose her? She couldn’t be blamed for that; she just liked him too much.
Whether it was him or the Blackwood family, she wanted them both.
Perhaps due to nervousness, Vivian’s hand shook while holding the wine glass, causing some red wine stains to spill out.
She was startled and almost threw the glass away.
Coincidentally, footsteps approached from outside, seemingly Adrian returning.
Vivian’s face turned pale, and she quickly placed the cup back in its original position. It was already too late, so she hurriedly grabbed a tissue from the side and wiped away the red wine stains on the table. The footsteps reached the doorway, and Adrian had returned.
And the glass of wine in front of her was still empty.
Vivian could only anxiously pour herself a drink into her glass. When she was halfway through, Adrian walked in.
“The lawyer has already drafted the agreement, and once it’s done, it will be sent over. You p>
Adrian had intended to tell her to leave first, but upon entering and seeing her actions, he paused.
Vivian suppressed her nerves and pretended to be calm.
“Okay, I’ll wait here. Care for a few drinks p>
After saying that, she lifted the glass in front of her and took a sip, emptying half of it in one gulp.
Adrian glanced at her.
“Suit yourself p>
With that, he turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Vivian panicked and called him back.
“Adrian, don’t go. I still have something to tell you p>
Upon hearing that, Adrian halted his steps. “I’ve already said what needed to be said. Anything further is meaningless p>
“Even if it’s meaningless, I still want to say it. After all, this is our last night, or rather, the last bit of time before your lawyer arrives p>
