Chapter 1077 She Has A Way With Garrett


    Brandon clinked sses with J and smiled. "Congrattions."


    Garrett, on the other hand, looked down at his ss and frowned. "Why didn''t you clink sses with


    me, Brandon?"


    "The Harding Group and the Larson Group are stillpetitors. Compared to you, I think my wife is


    more trustworthy," Brandon said with a smile before taking a sip of his champagne leisurely.


    "You can''t just line me up with the Harding family!" Garrett clenched his jaw and put his ss down.


    "Besides, why didn''t you say that when you started a business with me?"


    At that point, he was about to grab Brandon by the cor and settle this matter through the way men


    usually turned to—a fight, but J stopped him before he could do so.


    "Don''t fight!" J said, her soft voice breaking the tense atmosphere as she stood in between


    them.


    Garrett frowned and clenched his fists. "I''ve only been away from the Larson Group for a few


    months, but he already treats me like aplete stranger. It seems like I have to beat him up so he


    can finally recall the past when we used to fight side by side."


    J''s eyes widened in shock. "Hell no! Are you out of your mind? Why are you being so narrow-


    minded, Garrett? Brandon is right. You''re not a part of the Larson Group now and you''re busy with


    the Harding Group''s business. If we tell you about Vivian, it''ll only bring you even more trouble."


    "Don''t think you''re so superior just because your wife is protecting you, Brandon!" Garrett


    eximed.


    He became even more infuriated upon noticing Brandon''s indifferent look.


    He also had a loving wife, and she was good at fighting too.


    At that thought, Garrett suddenly missed Laney so much. If she were here, she wouldn''t let him get


    bullied like this.


    "Don''t fight, you two," J said before shifting her gaze to Brandon. "Garrett is your best friend.


    Don''t let him down like this."


    Brandon went silent for a few seconds before he retorted, "Garrett used to be magnanimous and


    altruistic, but who knows he''d be so narrowminded now that he''s going to be a father."


    "You asshole!" Garrett clenched his jaw in anger. He then picked up his ss and gulped the


    champagne down before he looked back at Brandon and snorted. "You know what? Fine. I''ll let that


    slide since I''m the bigger man here."


    After he said that, he drank two more sses of champagne.


    J was worried that Garrett might get drunk if he continued to drink like that, so she held his


    ss and stopped him. "Don''t drink too much. You''re going to apany Laney tonight, aren''t


    you? Pregnant women usually don''t like the smell of alcohol."


    "I''ll stay in a hotel, then!" Garrett red at her.


    J sighed and took out her phone. She scrolled through her and Laney''s chats and said, "Laney


    sent me a message. I''m sure she would be worried about you if you stay in a hotel tonight."


    Laney actually asked her to remind Garrett not to drink too much. She was worried about him since


    he had been drinking a lot during dinner parties recently.


    Garrett stared at his ss for some time before he let out a sigh and finally put it down.


    Seeing the helpless look on his face, J burst intoughter. She then walked towards Brandon


    and said, "Laney really has a way with Garrett."


    He wasn''t that same yboy anymore, after all.


    After the press conference was over, Sean brought the car over.


    As soon as J got in the car, she asked, "Where''s Vivian? Can you take us to her? I have


    something to ask her."


    "It''s gettingte now, Mrs. Larson. It''ll take some time before you manage to get answers out of her,"


    Sean replied. He seemed helpless when he turned to look at Brandon.


    "Let''s go home first, honey. You don''t need to do it today. Vivian won''t run away. Let''s just go home


    and rest," Brandon told J. After that, he asked Sean to drive them back home.


    J went silent for a moment as the car sped towards their vi. Eventually, she crossed her arms


    and said, "I''m not in the mood to rest."


    Brandon ignored her and leaned against the back seat before closing his eyes. J would


    constantly sigh whenever he would start to rx, so when he finally had enough of it, he opened his


    eyes and looked at her. "If you don''t listen to me, I won''t let you get involved in this matter anymore.


    Vivian''s arrest has already been nned. It shouldn''t affect our normal lives. You still have to work


    tomorrow, right? Do you really want to ask for a leave just because of Vivian?"


    J bit her lip. She couldn''t refute. "You''re right." When it was almost ten o''clock, it suddenly


    began raining.


    J stood by the window and stared nkly into the distance—wondering what was in Vivian''s


    sh drive.


    She was in a daze for a moment until she felt someone''s presence behind her.


    Brandon held her from behind. His warm hand reached into her underwear as he ced a kiss on


    her corbone.


    J''s breathing was ragged as she said, "Honey, you should take a shower first."

    "Alright. Wait for me on the bed." Brandon kissed her cheek before he reached out for his pajamas


    and walked into the bathroom.


    Just when J heard the sound of running water from the bathroom, her phone suddenly lit up.
