Chapter 274: Chapter 274: A Car Accident?
Stephen Stone was flipping through Wisteria TV’s recent collaboration plans with other companies at home, as well as the amounts involved.
These were internal documents that Vivian Lynn had brought over to help Stephen get familiar with the company’s business.
But his mother, Eleanor Gage, was also watching from the side.
While looking, Eleanor said, "It seems like Wisteria TV’s profits are much higher than our family’s chain store. Little Stephen, when you take over Wisteria TV, you must support your brother a bit."
"Of course, I only have one brother. If I don’t help him, who will I help? When I take over Wisteria TV, I’ll first invest some money in our family chain store."
Stephen and Eleanor both laughed.
Previously, their family was worried about having only one chain restaurant, which would be difficult for the two brothers to inherit.
Additionally, recently, their old rival had increased discounts and introduced many new dishes, stealing all their customers, leading to low revenue and dismal operations.
Fortunately, their younger son met Vivian Lynn.
Of course, at first the family looked down on Vivian Lynn, thinking she was not only older but also hadn’t studied abroad, and wasn’t worthy of their overseas-educated younger son.
But who knew that Vivian Lynn’s luck would turn, and Wisteria TV kept hitting new peaks.
So, they agreed to let their overseas-educated son be with Vivian Lynn.
However, even then, their own superiority made them look down on Vivian Lynn.
Especially since Vivian Lynn got pregnant before the wedding, which made them disdain her more.
They thought Vivian Lynn was using this pre-wedding pregnancy trick to win their younger son’s heart.
So, they were even more brazen in front of Vivian Lynn.
No wedding? What about handing over the operational power of Wisteria TV?
Either way, in the end, Vivian Lynn still had to marry their son.
Sure enough, Vivian Lynn agreed to all their demands.
She even brought the company’s internal documents to Stephen, showing she couldn’t leave him.
So, they started planning how to use Wisteria TV’s money to develop their chain store for a more luxurious life after Stephen takes over Wisteria TV.
However, just then, Stephen’s phone suddenly rang.
An unfamiliar number called in.
When Stephen answered, the caller claimed to be from Rosewell Hospital.
Informing him that his fiancée, Vivian Lynn, had a serious car accident.
"What? She had a car accident?"
"In critical condition?"
"Okay, I’ll be right there."
As soon as he hung up, Eleanor asked him, "Who had a car accident?"
"Vivian. She’s at Rosewell Hospital now!"
"Is she dead?"
"Not dead, but things look bad. They said she might not make it through the night..."
Stephen also felt a bit sad in his heart.
After all, Vivian Lynn had been with him for some time...
"Little Stephen, if she dies now, it doesn’t do you any good. Look, you’re not married yet, so that vast inheritance won’t fall to you."
Mentioning the inheritance made the sadness vanish from Stephen’s face.
"So, should we rush to get the marriage certificate while she’s still breathing?"
But as soon as he spoke, Stephen’s mother smacked him.
"Are you stupid? If you marry her now, you’ll be a divorcé in the future."
Eleanor felt a bit exasperated with him.
"Mom, you mean..."
"We need to draft a transfer of inheritance before we go."
Eleanor’s eyes were filled with a shrewd light.
