Chapter 873 The Most Eligible Man


    Derek looked haggard. He had dark circles around his eyes and one could clearly see from a


    nce at him that he hadn''t managed to get a wink of sleep all night.


    "Go and ask the police to see how the investigation ising along," he said. Derek was drained of


    all energy and didn''t even notice that there were other people in the elevator ahead of them.


    "Don''t bother. Look ahead." Wilder nudged Derek''s arm and signaled him to look up.


    Derek looked up at the elevator in confusion. When his gaze fell on J, there was a spark of


    surprise in his eyes.


    But soon, he also noticed the man standing beside her.


    Derek''s face darkened. Without saying a word, he pulled J away from Brandon and straight out


    of the elevator.


    "You bastard!" Derek stood in front of J and angrily questioned Brandon, "Where did you take


    my Jst night?"


    He assumed that the man before him must have had some bad intentions with J.


    Brandon had an aura of iciness. His eyes were dark like a bottomless pit. "Your... J?"


    He took a step forward and sneered.


    Derek felt a little anxious being stared at by Brandon in such a vindictive manner. He straightened


    his neck and said, "I have asked you a direct question. Don''t change the subject. Believe me or not,


    but I will call the police to arrest you!"


    Seeing that Brandon didn''t say anything, Derek instructed his manager, "Wilder, call the police


    immediately. Tell them that there''s another one of those rapists."


    "What makes you eligible to meddle in J''s affairs?" Brandon said with a derisive chuckle. He


    raised his chin and asked J, "Who is this man?" J pursed her lips and braced herself to


    exin, "He is..."


    However, Derek immediately cut her off. "Don''t be scared of him, J. The police will deal with


    him!"


    J was nervous now. She wanted to return to Brandon''s side but Derek pulled her aside once


    more.


    "Let her go," Brandon said, his eyes threateningly cold. He grabbed J by the wrist and was


    about to pull her back to him.


    "No way! Who do you think you are to take J away?"


    Derek was also trying to pull J to his side. He looked at Wilder unhappily and said, "I asked you


    to call the police. Didn''t you hear me? Why are you still standing there?"


    The two men were like two bulls who had locked horns and a battle was about to ensue.


    The two men jostled and pulled her from two opposite directions. She felt as if her arms were going


    to dislocate and pop out of their sockets. She couldn''t bare the pain, and heatedly shouted, "Stop


    it!"


    Both Derek and Brandon were shocked and loosened their grips on her.


    J looked at Derek with no expression on her face. "Derek, you misunderstand him. He isn''t a


    bad guy. There is no reason for you to call the police. He is the most qualified man in the world to


    take me away."


    She walked up to Brandon''s side and exined, "He is my husband, Brandon Larson."


    Gesturing to Derek, J then said to Brandon, "This is Derek Ramsey. I had an ident on the


    Iridescent Show. He helped WMarks finish the show."


    Derek was so shocked that he didn''t know what to say. After a few seconds, he forced himself to


    calm down and then asked, "Are you lying to me again? You told me you were married before,


    but..."


    J shook her head. Derek was too stubborn to believe that what she had said was indeed the


    cold hard truth. For a moment, she didn''t know what else to say.


    "Derek, don''t be rude. Let them go." Wilder stopped Derek harshly and whispered in his ear, "I ran a


    background check on Jst night. She is indeed Brandon Larson''s wife. We can''t afford to


    offend them."


    Derek was surprised. He could only vent his anger on Wilder, "Why didn''t you tell me earlier?"


    He had thought that it was a lie when J said she was married.


    He hadn''t imagined that she was in fact married and that her husband was actually Brandon.


    The Larson Group was internationally famous, so Derek had heard of its CEO since he lived


    overseas for the greater part of the year. He calmed down and told J before he left, "Don''t get


    me wrong. It''s just... We heard about the identst night. Wilder and I had been looking for you


    the whole night. We were afraid that something bad would happen to you. It''s good that you are fine


    now."


    J looked at the haggard look on Derek''s face and felt guilt wash over her. "Thank you. As you


    can see, I''m fine. You''d better go back and have a good rest." J knew that Derek wasn''t lying,


    but she could do nothing but thank him.


    Caressing J''s back, Brandon reminded her, "The driver has been waiting outside for a long


    time." J nodded and looked up at Derek for a few seconds. Then she turned around and left


    with Brandon.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
