Johanna came from a noble family in Barnes, whereas Beal was a White—one of the most powerful
families in Barnes. No one had ever been this disrespectful to them before.
The way Brandon had treated them today really pissed Johanna off.
“Let’s get out of here, Janet! I refuse to let you be bullied. Since Brandon refuses to explain himself,
then so be it. You don’t need a man like that!” Johanna took a deep breath and calmed down. Her
expression softened and she took Janet’s hand to leave.
Janet followed Johanna and Beal out of the reception room in a daze.
After taking a few steps, she stopped in her tracks and said, “Mom, I don’t think it’s as simple as we
saw it was. Brandon has never been like this before. Something must’ve happened to him.”
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Brandon to change into a completely different
person all of a sudden. Even if there was a huge misunderstanding between them, he wouldn’t have
been so indifferent to her.
She had noticed that the way Brandon looked at her just now was estranged and cold, as if he was
looking at a total stranger.
It was as though the love they had cultivated over the past two years had disappeared overnight.
Johanna sighed and looked at Janet helplessly. “Do men need a reason to cheat? Janet, Brandon’s
attitude proves otherwise!”
Seeing that Janet was dead serious, Beal looked at her and asked, “My dear, do you really trust
Brandon that much?”
Janet nodded without missing a beat.
She trusted Brandon with her life, as he did with her.
“I have to figure out why he is suddenly acting like this. Dad, Mom, you can go back to Barnes first. I’ll
take it from here.”
Johanna clutched her daughter’s hand worriedly. “You haven’t fully recovered yet, and Brandon doesn’t
seem to care about you. We can’t just leave you alone in Seacisco!”
“How’s this? We can investigate together. Your mother and I will send someone to investigate
everything that happened to Brandon during the past few days after he fainted. If anything comes up,
we’ll call you.” Holding Janet’s shoulders, Beal added, “If you need anything, just tell us. You’re not
alone anymore, Janet.”
Tears welled up in Janet’s eyes. She threw her arms around her parents tightly.
Yes, she had parents now, and she didn’t have to fight against the whole world alone.
*******
After the Whites left, Janet didn’t waste any time. She headed towards the meeting room, intending to
wait for Brandon’s meeting to end. She planned to make it clear to him as soon as possible.
However, before she reached the meeting room, she bumped into Charis.
They hadn’t seen each other in months, and Charis wore long hair now. Her long curly hair fell over her
shoulders, making her look sharp yet mature. She looked like a professional office lady.
Charis smiled in mock pleasant surprise. “Miss White, long time no see! I heard from Brandon
yesterday that you were in hospital. What brings you here?”
Janet smiled faintly. “Miss Turner, what a coincidence! I wanted to ask you something.”
“What is it?” Charis asked calmly, as if she was willing to help Janet.
“What exactly happened to Brandon?” Janet didn’t know how to trick Charis into telling her the truth, so
she just asked straightforwardly.
“I knew you’d ask about this.” Charis’s eyes flashed.
“At the time, Brandon thought you were dead and he was devastated. It was I who stood by his side
while he went through difficult times. So Brandon and I have reconciled.”
“I’m asking why Brandon is so cold to me,” Janet said through clenched teeth. She could hardly control
her anger.
Charis burst into laughter, as though she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
“How on earth would I know about your private affairs with Brandon? Miss White, I am afraid you’ve
asked the wrong person.”
