    Chapter 1052 Take Good Care Of Her For Me


    “It’s a snake pit with the Turner Group.” Brandon put the document on the table and his eyes hardened


    like steel.


    Derek’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as he asked, “Are the Turners the ones pulling the strings against


    J before?”


    This was Derek’s educated guess. Last time, while they were in danger, he had asked J about it.


    At that time, J had told him that she would reveal all when they were out of danger. He smiled


    bitterly and thought that perhaps he would never have the chance to know the truth even though they


    were both safe and sound now.


    “This is between us and the Turners. Stop stressing about it.” Brandon didn’t want to drag Derek into


    the quagmire.


    Derek said arrogantly, “Do I really look like I need to know?”


    Then he stormed out of the room. Before opening the door, he couldn’t help but nce back. “I won’t


    tell a soul. Don’t worry.”


    At that moment, Brandon suddenly stopped him. “Your information is a goldmine for us. Name your


    price and I’ll have my assistant transfer the funds to your ount.”


    Derek sniffed disdainfully and looked back. “Do you think I’m a beggar? I was not in this for the money.


    That stupid murderer almost killed me. I can’t just let that go.”


    Brandon’s eyes grew darker, a frown marring his face. “Do you need me to say something to J?”


    he asked, knowing the power of his words.


    Derek was caught off guard by the question. After a moment of contemtion, he lowered his eyes and


    said, “Help me take good care of her. I don’t want to see her get hurt again.”


    “She is my wife, and she’s mine to worry about. So just mind your own business,” Brandon replied, with


    a hint of possessiveness, marking his territory.


    Derek was livid at the response. He red at Brandon, gnashed his teeth, and spat out, “Then why did


    you ask me if I had something to tell her? You were just messing with me.”

    The two men in the room were like oil and water, but the two women outside the room couldn’t stop


    laughing.


    “Is Derek really that clueless?” Gilda grinned from ear to ear as she listened to J talking about


    Derek.


    At first, when J saw Gilda, she thought she was a shy and quiet woman, but she quickly realized


    that Gilda was actually a chatterbox.


    She couldn’t understand why such a wonderful girl would want to date a yer like Derek.


    J couldn’t help but ask, “For how long have you known Derek?


    You were both models, so you must have been old acquaintances,” she added, trying to make sense of


    the situation.


    But Gilda denied any prior knowledge of Derek with a sly smile. “Derek is a famous model, but I didn’t


    know him personally before.


    Believe it or not, I have only known him for a week.


    Five days ago, there was a sudden thunderstorm in Barnes. Gilda was picking up a friend from the


    hospital when she saw Wilder’s car parked outside. She was about to say hello when she overheard


    Wilder talking to a man with a tall, chiseled figure.


    Gilda soon realized it was Derek. He was very gorgeous, particrly with his perfect facial features. He


    had an infectious, positive, and attractive vibe that made it hard for women to resist him.


    However, Derek did not enter the vehicle with Wilder. Finally, he walked away. He didn’t bring an


    umbre, so he got soaked in the rain.


    Gilda happened to have an extra umbre, and she was a kind-hearted person. She quickly reached


    Derek out in the storm and gave him the umbre.


    “So that’s how we first met. Derek seemed dejected at the moment, but as our friendship grew, I


    learned that he was really a pretty jovial guy.” Gilda lowered her chin and grinned sheepishly.


    J pieced everything together and realized that Brandon was injured and sent to the hospital on the


    same day that Gilda met Derek.


    J was worried about Brandon at the moment and paid no attention to anybody else around her.


    Both Derek and she had close calls that day. They were able to escape a collision because of Derek’s


    brother, but she didn’t even express gratitude as she only had eyes for Brandon. At that point, Derek


    should have been very sad.


    In the middle of their conversation, Derek rudely burst out of the room. “It’s time to go, Gilda.”


    His demeanor suggested he was fuming.


    J approached him and said, “What happened? Did you have an argument with Brandon inside?”


    “Not really. I’m just leaving with my girlfriend.” Derek took a single step before turning around and


    murmuring to J, “Brandon is a sly one. My best judgment is that he’s just feigning illness because


    he wants you to nurse him for a few more days. Do not fall for that!”


    J sighed helplessly and said, “Don’t worry. I understand what has to be done.”


    In dismay, Derek cast a gaze in her direction. J was so blindly in love! He bade J farewell


    before leaving with Gilda.
