Chapter 986 I Trust Her


    Both J and Brandon red daggers at Derek simultaneously. J fumed, "Derek, why do you


    always speak gibberish?"


    Derek also stepped out of the vehicle, hands in his pockets, and said, "I''m not talking balderdash.


    It''s true that Brandon jumped to conclusions and got angry because he didn''t see Elizabeth and


    thought that we two were having a date alone."


    Elizabeth quickly exined, "Mr. Larson, be careful about what you think about J. J didn''t


    have dinner with Derek alone. I was there with them, but I had to use the bathroom at that time. I


    didn''t expect to cause such turmoil between you two. I''m truly sorry."


    "It''s okay. I just want a good reason as to why you went as far as booking a suite." J cast a


    sharp nce at Derek.


    Elizabeth kicked Derek from behind and said, "Will you please talk? Why did you book a suite?"


    Derek threw up his hands in surrender and protested his innocence. "I swear it has nothing to do


    with me. Although I have feelings for you, I would never stoop to such underhanded tactics."


    He also took the opportunity to express his love, "If I care about someone, I''ll only pursue them


    openly and honestly."


    J found Derek''s words to be somehow logical. She reasoned that, although Derek was


    stubborn and didn''t listen to others'' advice, he wasn''t aplete scumbag.


    "Then who could have done that?" J''s mind was racing. She wondered if the person who had


    harmed her before might have taken action again.


    Derek sat back in the car and said, "Let''s head back to the restaurant and get to the bottom of this.


    We''ll find out who''s responsible as long as we do some digging."


    He then turned to Brandon, who was standing behind J, and asked, "Mr. Larson, should I drive


    you there? But given your suspicious nature, you might probably use me of bribing the waitress


    to lie. Mr. Larson, as a couple, you need to have faith in each other. If you don''t trust J, then I''ll


    dly take her. I''ll have unwavering trust in her."


    Brandon held J close and replied, "My wife has already exined everything to me. I believe


    everything she said."


    "Damn!" Derek sneered and felt a twinge of pain in his heart as he watched J clinging tightly to


    Brandon.


    He looked away unhappily and was about to speak when his phone rang. It was Wilder.


    As soon as Derek answered the call, Wilder shouted, "Did you go see J again?! The Larson


    Group called me! Didn''t I tell you to wait for me at the filming site? Huh?! The director and the


    camera crew are all here, waiting for you!"


    Wilder was so worked up that he could feel a migraineing on. He hadn''t had a moment''s peace


    since he started working with Derek.


    "Alright, alright. I''ll be right back," Derek said, not wanting to put Wilder in a difficult position. After


    all, it was Wilder who had gotten him this job.


    Derek nced at Brandon as he got off the phone and stated, "I must now go for the shoot. The


    restaurant is conveniently close by. You can go there on foot on your own."


    Elizabeth hopped in the car, bundling her coat around her body. "Give me a lift, will you?" She


    wanted to give J and Brandon some privacy. She waved goodbye to J and dered, "I''m


    heading home now. You two have all the time you need to


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    talk."


    Derek started the engine and grumbled, "You''re such a pain. Don''t you have a boyfriend now? Why


    don''t you call him to chauffeur you home?"


    "Watch your mouth! And just do your job. Drive!" Elizabeth gave Derek''s shoulder two firm pats.


    It wasn''t until the luxurious vehicle had gone for a long distance that J snapped out of it and


    grinned.


    "Shall we go home?" After his outburst, Brandon regained his gentle demeanor.


    "I think the scene the Larson Group employees just witnessed would make anyone want to curl up


    and die! If we just sweep it under the rug, we''ll probably be the subject of gossip for a long time. I


    want to return to the restaurant and meet with the new Larson Group employees alongside you."


    J also wanted to confirm whether it was Derek who had booked the hotel room or not.


    If it turned out it was indeed Derek, she would never associate with this two-faced scum again.


    Brandon knew J well and understood that she desired to clear the air and nip any future


    potential dangers in the bud.


    "They''re all new around. I really should have a meal with them." And so, Brandon returned to the


    restaurant with J.


    Before the party concluded, people began to specte about J''s situation after noticing that


    Brandon and J had left.


    "It''s the first time I''ve seen Mr. Larson lose his cool. He''s really a boss. Even when he was angry, he


    was somanding. He just turned on his heel and left." "Didn''t you see the timid and frightened


    expression on J''s face when she scampered after him? She must have crossed the line!"


    "By the way, J is so ungrateful. Mr. Larson has been nothing but kind to her. Why is she still so


    amorous?"


    At this point, Vivian emerged from the bathroom and returned to her seat. Seeing that the table not


    far away was empty, she smugly smiled.
