Suddenly, his face turned serious, and his eyes darkened. He looked sternly at her and said, “But I
have to remind you that Brandon is also good at scheming. He doesn’t show his emotions in front of
others, so don’t trust him easily. I asked you to start with the Turner family first because I wanted you to
use the Turner family’s influence to restrain Brandon.”
“I understand your intentions, sir,” Vivian replied warily. She smiled bitterly and said, “But I don’t have
anything else I can give. I’ve tried my best and I’ve transferred all the shares I can get from the Turner
Group to you. You know it’s impossible for me to get them all. I just want to leave when my revenge is
done.”
Vivian knew it was useless to escape if Jeremy had no intention of letting her go. Even if she
sessfully escaped, he would still be able to bring her back and even dy her revenge ns.
As such, Vivian was determined to stay and take her revenge, regardless of how afraid she was of
Jeremy. No one could stop her!
Jeremy darted his eyes around the room to ensure no one was eavesdropping. He squinted then his
eyes and warned her coldly, “Vivian, calm down.”
“I’m useless to you now. Please don’t threaten me to help you anymore. I will go crazy!” Vivian cried
subconsciously. In fact, she was frightened and the more anxious she was, the louder her voice
became. Her loudness aroused the curiosity of some of the customers nearby, and they nced
frequently over.
Jeremy noticed that Vivian was growing increasingly anxious and uncontroble. He needed to bring
her back to her senses quickly, so he picked up a ss of cold water on the table and sshed it on
Vivian’s face.
He mmed down the ss of water and hissed, “Don’t y tricks on me here. You are where you are
because of my help. If you don’t cooperate, I can take back everything you have any time.”
Vivian was trembling all over. She red at Jeremy and took a few napkins to dry her face. She then
picked up her bag and stormed off without saying anything.
Jeremy pushed the door open and chased after Vivian. When he caught up with her, he took out
something from his briefcase and said, “Hey, I brought you a gift this time.”
Vivian couldn’t believe what she was hearing. After all, she never had a meeting with Jeremy that
involved goodwill. She quickened her pace in an attempt to shake him off.
“This document alone is enough for you to destroy the Larson Group. Don’t you want it?” Jeremy called
out to her.
Vivian stopped abruptly. She was stunned. Anything that could help her take her revenge against the
Larson Group was undoubtedly a great temptation.
She hesitated and eventually turned back. She eyed Jeremy suspiciously and asked, “What is that
document about?”
Jeremy looked at Vivian with a somber expression. Slowly averting his eyes, he produced a document
from his briefcase.
The document’s content was shocking. It contained details and research about Brandon’s condition.
Vivian went through it quickly. Suddenly, her eyes stopped moving.
“What is this? When did Brandon lose his memory? Is this some kind of joke?” Vivian didn’t know what
to feel or think. She felt like she was in a dream as a sense of shock came over her. Surely, this must
be nothing more than a stupid prank.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
Jeremy didn’t respond and continued to hold the same expression. Somehowposing herself again,
she flipped through the rest of the pages. It was true. This was no joke. Her mind started thinking back
to the times she had spent with Brandon, trying to scout clues. Surely, she could have found out
through some conversation with him, some small detail he’d have given away… but no, that wasn’t the
case.
“I… I can’t believe it. Brandon hid it so well. He even hid it from Natalie! How did you find out?” Jeremy
sneered and then said softly, “Brandon’s condition has consequences for everyone. This document has
detailed records, which can easily shake the whole Larson Group once it’s made public.”
Vivian’s eyes widened at what she had just heard. “No, Larson Group is one of the most powerful
Jeremy retorted quickly, “No, Vivian. You’re undermining Brandon’s presence in thepany. All the
partners associated with Larson Group value him. It is his decision-making and intelligence that have
made thepany what it is today. But would any of them continue to trust him now that he is suffering
from memory loss and intellectual deterioration?”
Vivian could see his point. It madeplete sense to her, which only caused her to feel more flustered
and inexplicably anxious.
She had many questions and she still couldn’t wrap her head around the information dropped on her. It
was a lot to take in. Confused, she asked, “How did Brandon get amnesia? He is so young and looks
healthy. Besides, how do you know all this?”
Vivian was shaking with restlessness. A myriad of questions arose in her mind.
She didn’t think Jeremy would be so aware of the domestic affairs since he had been abroad all year
around.
Other than being her teacher and mentor, did Jeremy have a secret identity she didn’t know about? “I
am surprised you don’t. You really don’t know that it was Charis, who you admired so much, that
caused Brandon’s memory loss?” asked Jeremy.
For Vivian, it was another shock. The world seemed to have shifted from beneath her feet. “How could
that happen?”
“How could it not? Charis worked so hard to get Brandon. Poisoning him might have been just a piece
of cake for her,” Jeremy said in an indifferent tone.
“That’s impossible!” Vivian shook her head and cried out. She had always seen Charis as a righteous,
honest and gentle woman. All she knew was that Charis was madly in love with Brandon. These
usations of her plotting and scheming were driving Vivian insane.
“You’re so naive, Vivian,” said Jeremy with a smile. “These are people who have fought their way to the
top. You really think Charis achieved so much with just honesty and hard work? That’s silly. God knows
how many people she crushed to climb thedder to sess. She was no angel like you believe she
was!”
Vivian’s hands felt cold. A chill seemed to have gripped her heart. Clenching her wrists, she asked
again, “How do you know all this? How long have you known Charis?”
Jeremy scoffed. “Why should I answer you? There is no difference between you and Charis. Both of
you are willing to do literally everything just to achieve your goal. Instead of gawking at me, you should
just do your own job! Save this interrogation for some other time.”
What was Jeremy implying? His tone was curt and cruel. Was Vivian just ackey to him?
Vivian was heartbroken and disgusted. At this point, she didn’t even know how to defend herself.
As she kept quiet, Jeremy went on. “Well, that’s all for today. I have a project to work on. I hope you will
be more sensible the next time I see you, Vivian.” Jeremy turned around and hailed a taxi. His job here
was done.
Vivian held on to the streetmp post as the taxi disappeared into the distance. She heaved a long
sigh, still processing everything she had heard today about Brandon, Charis and even herself.
It was amusing how suddenly she started seeing everything that was wrong with Charis, when until
now she admired her so much.
A storm seemed to have taken over her thoughts. For a moment, Vivian didn’t know what to do next.
Who could she even talk to about this?
As the sun went down, a glorious gamut of colors painted the sky. The chirping of the birds soon
ceased, and a somber silence epassed the hospital.
Natalie walked into the ward with a lunch box, heading toward Brandon.
“Wow! Look at the size of that box! You really treat your husband differently from your friends. Can
Brandon even finish it all? I seriously doubt it!” A voice came from behind her.
It was dripping with sarcasm. Natalie’s face dropped as she turned around to find Derek there. He was
holding a fruit basket, a bag of snacks and arge bouquet of beautiful red roses. Standing in the
afterglow of the setting sun, he shed a bright smile.
“What are you doing here? Is someone in your family in the hospital?” Natalie tried to maintain a
neutral tone. She had to remind herself to not lose her calm because Derek had helped her before.
Walking toward her, Derek raised his eyebrows and teased, “Ah, I’m actually here to visit my rival in
love.
