Many women had tried to approach Brandon but were cut down by his frigid stance. He even cussed
some out. So, many women were jealous when they saw Elisa sitting opposite him and chatting
amicably. After that, those who liked Brandon could only admire him from a distance. No one thought
their relationship would be so good till the point that they even went in together!
Jealously ate at the women’s hearts!
They started to gossip.
“Wasn’t that Elisa Benett? Something must be going on between them!”
A blonde lady lit her cigarette, puffed it, and said, “Look at you all. Don’t you know Brandon’s
personality by now? What are you guys worried about? You’ve all tasted him. Who knows, maybe your

turn will come again?”
Another woman nodded and said, “You’re right. At least we might have a chance now that he is seeing
girls.”
“You’re right.”
…
At that moment, Elisa and Brandon were in a private room. So, they were not aware of the commotion
outside. Even if they knew, they did not care.
Brandon swaggered to the couch and sat down while Elisa sat opposite him again. Brandon was about
to light another cigarette but stopped when he saw Elisa opposite him. He placed the pack of cigarettes
and his lighter on the table with a soft thump.
“I don’t mind you smoking,” Elisa said quietly.

Brandon ignored her statement and got straight to the point, “What is it you want?”
Elisa pursed her lips. She was considering her best cause of action.
Brandon was carefree, but when he saw her stressing, he straightened himself up.
“Is it something tough?” He asked.
“No. But it depends if you’re willing to say it.” Elisa swiftly replied.
Brandon squinted at her but said nothing. Elisa was watching his reactions carefully.
Brandon was a man with many experiences. He had seen all kinds of things during his life. How was
Elisa able to figure anything out from his emotions? She knew it was hard, but she did not give up. She
kept her gaze on him.

“Go on,” Brandon said calmly.
Elisa inhaled and looked him in his eyes, “How did my father die?”
Brandon’s reaction did not change. He looked at her indifferently and said, “He is your father. The
hospital told you how he died. Why would you ask me, an outsider?”
Elisa chewed her lips and replied bitterly, “Considering you and my father’s relationship, I don’t think
you can say you are an outsider. I’m sure there are secrets between the two of you.”
“Are you sleep-talking?” Brandon scoffed at her with no change in his expression.
“How did my father die?” Elisa asked again. She fixed her gaze on him, not wanting to miss even a
silver of change.
But Brandon replied with a snicker, “It had nothing to do with me. I don’t mind if you have something to
ask of me. But I know nothing and don’t want to be entangled in your family drama.”
