The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 636

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

successfully escaped, he would still be able to bring her back and even delay her revenge plans.

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 glanced

frequently over.

Jeremy noticed that Vivian was growing increasingly anxious and uncontrollable. He needed to bring

her back to her senses quickly, so he picked up a glass of cold water on the table and splashed it on

Vivian’s face.

He slammed down the glass of water and hissed, “Don’t play 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 glared 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.

Jeremy didn’t respond and continued to hold the same expression. Somehow composing 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 Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

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

companies in Barnes. It cannot fall down that easily. You are oversimplifying it.”

Jeremy retorted quickly, “No, Vivian. You’re undermining Brandon’s presence in the company. All the

partners associated with Larson Group value him. It is his decision-making and intelligence that have

made the company 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 made complete 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

accusations 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 the ladder to success. 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 a lackey 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 street lamp 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 encompassed 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 a large bouquet of beautiful red roses. Standing in the

afterglow of the setting sun, he flashed 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.
