Chapter 104: Reaching a consensus
"Miss Tian has decided? Not to give that man a chance? Not to give your relationship a chance?" People often say that it is better to tear down a temple than a couple, and although Vivian also despises that man, she will not very much veto other people's feelings.
Tessie laughed self-deprecatingly, "There are already wounds in the relationship, even if repaired, there will be traces. The actual fact is that you can't go back to the past, so why do you want to dwell on it? I persisted until now because of his love, since there is no love now, why should I persist?"
Vivian didn't expect Tessie's view of love to be so clear, and her heart was overwhelmed with admiration.
For Tessie, she now just needs to get what she deserves and take back what's hers to start living again.
"Miss Du will come to me today with these things, must have been well prepared, then Miss Du will be direct point to make your conditions clear, each other can also not waste time is not?" Tessie now knows beyond doubt that the one who can help her out of her misery is Vivian, in addition to herself.
"Okay, I agree to your condition, but I don't know if Miss Tian can agree to my condition." Vivian was indeed prepared to come over, knowing that Tessie would definitely not be cowardly enough to follow Selena's back once she saw her husband cheating on her.
She just didn't expect Tessie to be so dry. She thought she would have to wait until the afternoon at least to decide without spending the night, which is why Vivian seemed a bit rushed.
"Whatever I can do, whatever Miss Du says, I will accomplish. But my condition is not only to divorce my husband, I also want custody of my son, and I can't even let his grandparents have access to the child again, I want to leave them completely."
The only way she could have a chance to start her life over was to leave that home. If she is tied to them again because of the baby, she will never have a life of her own in this life. Vivian was able to agree to help Tessie get a divorce, but she could not decide the judge's final decision.
"To keep the child from contacting the grandparents, that one can only rely on you to gather evidence. I can help you contact a private detective, I can help you find the best lawyer, but what the outcome will be, I can't guarantee."
Tessie also knew that this was the most difficult and had no intention to make things difficult for Vivian, so she nodded her head and agreed, "Yes, that's fine, you just need to help me get what I need ready, and I can rely on myself for the rest. Since I've finished my side of the conditions, so shouldn't Miss Du say what you want?"
Vivian smiled and put the other document on the table, "There is no rush, Miss Tian can open it first."
Tessie took the folder suspiciously and gently pulled out the papers inside, the more she looked at it the more surprised her face became, "This......"
With a face full of shock, Tessie was completely unprepared for the fact that Vivian was not as simple as she appeared to be.
Nodding slightly, Vivian took a sip of coffee and then looked at Tessie and asked, "Does Miss Tian have any thoughts after reading this?"
Tessie could not speak for a long time, she did not expect Vivian could actually collect such evidence.
"Looking at Miss Tian's expression, I wonder if she is surprised by my ability or by Selena's persona?" Vivian's tone was still nonchalant, and even her expression did not allow one to tell at once what she was actually thinking.
"Miss Du might as well just tell me what I should do! Miss Du is able to come to me, so I'm sure she knows what kind of life I've been living in Selena's hands all these years, so Miss Du doesn't have to worry that I'll betray you in the end." Tessie knows that she is simply not capable of fighting Vivian hard, all she can do is to be honest, "The person who wants to deal with Selena the most in this world is me, if not for personal reasons, how can I be willing to work as a cow under her and be beaten by him when there is nothing to do."
Vivian did come to her immediately after getting the information because she knew that Selena treated Tessie like an ancient princess treated her courtesan.
"Since Tessie is so forthcoming, let's get right to the point. How about I help you gather the information you want, and you help me gather the information I want?"
Vivian knew that Tessie was a very smart person and she didn't need to say it all to be able to know exactly what she wanted to say.
"Of course, backtracking to help Selena take the blame will have to be counted. As for what information you need, I won't ask too much, and I'll get you the best lawyer, the best private investigator, whenever you need it."
"Yes!" Tessie didn't hesitate at all, "I'll help you take down Selena together."
Vivian stood up and smiled at Tessie, "Good cooperation, if you want, you can come to work at Du's Group anytime. You are a smart
person and Du's welcomes you net
I
anytime. Although we may not have known each other before, I believe you have all the talent in the world, and I believe you can be very good at Du's job."
She does admire Tessie, who previously had to cower in fear because of her family's oppression and Selena's bullying, but who is actually a thoughtful and capable person.
"Thanks, but I don't plan to stay here
anymore. I'll take my son and go. abroad or to a different city, to a place where I won't meet these people again." Tessie's eyes
first
reddened slightly; this was the net had complimented her one
time in all her years that someone that, the
first time they had thought so highly
of her.
Although some regret that Du lost a strong assistant like this, Vivian still hopes that Tessie can stay away from this place.
"Well, if you want to go to Rice, you can come to me, although I have been in Rice for only two years, but I have my own circle of friends there, so I should be able to help you write a letter of recommendation." She still doesn't want to see all of Tessie's talent go to waste like this.
After bowing to Vivian, Tessie smiled and waved goodbye to her.
Sometimes more words of gratitude don't go to actual action. This time even if she was retaliated by Selena, she would still help Vivian to get justice. Not because she helped herself out of that family, but because she didn't see her clearly and gave her the respect she deserved.
After Tessie left, Vivian still sat in the cafe for a long time.
She was shocked by Tessie's words for a long time, remembering that before she had fallen in love with Hanley, she had always confidently told others that she was a person who dared to love and hate. But it was only after she met love that she realized that she was not that strong.
