Chapter 1088 Knowing The Truth


    "J!"


    "Honey!"


    Beal and Johanna eximed.


    Brandon''s eyes narrowed. He hadn''t expected J to appear so soon after entering the kitchen.


    "J, let me exin." He walked toward J and tried to grab her arm.


    However, she took a step back and shrugged off his hand.


    Her smile was bitter. "Don''t try to defend yourself.


    I heard the conversation clearly."


    J had been cooking in the kitchen. She realized she needed butter but couldn''t find where it


    was kept. She had nned to ask her parents and arrived at the living room door where she


    overheard a fierce quarrel between Brandon and her mother.


    She was tempted to intervene, but as she listened, she learned his astonishing secret.


    Recently, she had received files from Vivian''s sh drive. They didn''t seemed important, just some


    data about the Larson Group.


    She had no idea one critical file was missing. Moreover, Brandon was the one had deleted the file to


    hide his condition from her.


    J removed her apron and was about to leave. Brandon tried to stop her.


    Eyes full of tears, J said, "Why stop me? You don''t trust me at all. In your heart, I''m already


    expendable."


    Standing between her and the door, Brandon gazed


    helplessly at his wife. He reached for her hand and said, "Listen. It''s not that I don''t trust you."


    J pushed him away. Her smile was devoid of emotion. "Brandon, you didn''t tell me about your


    condition, but you im you want to start a family with me. Is that a lie as well?"


    Brandon interrupted her anxiously. "It''s all true. My memory has recovered. There are no


    aftereffects."


    "Leave me alone. I can''t trust a word you say. You lied to me. How can I know you''re not lying


    now?"


    J''s eyes were dull. She couldn''t process what she heard. There was a lot of information in the


    conversation between Brandon and her parents. She needed somewhere quiet to calm down and


    gather her thoughts.


    "I promise, I am fully recovered now." Brandon still blocked her way.


    He wanted to exin, but J was too upset to listen. J neededfort, but Brandon was


    determined to hold her there until she forgave him. With a cold look on her face, J pushed past


    him, tears streaming down her cheeks.


    Johanna rushed toward her and said, "Honey, why don''t you listen to his exnation?"


    Even her mother took Brandon''s side. J couldn''t hold back her anger. She rubbed her cheeks


    and yelled, "Why are you siding with him? Mom, you knew about this! You helped him hide it from


    me. I cannot describe how bitterly disappointed I am with you all."


    Johanna sighed. Her heart burst with regret. "I didn''t know how to tell you. I''m sorry. But now we


    know Brandon is fine, you deserve the truth." She red at Brandon, feeling nothing but disgust,


    and said, "It''s all Brandon''s fault! Everything."


    Brandon didn''t know what to do.


    J''s fury didn''t fade when Johanna tried toy all the me at Brandon''s feet. She sniffed and


    said,


    "You''re no different. All of you still see me as a fragile child. No one has shown me any respect I


    deserve. I am an adult! Treat me as one."


    Hearing her daughter''s usation, Johanna felt desperate. She gestured for Beal to say


    something.


    "Dad, if you take their side, I will not talk to you anymore." Wiping her tears, J red at Beal.

    J''s threat obviously worked. Beal nced at Johanna and lowered his head, unable to say


    anything.


    "What use are you?" Covering her forehead, Johanna red at Beal. Her head felt as though it


    might split open.


    J then fled. Brandon followed her out, his expression stormy.
