Her face lit up with delight as she noticed the breakfast table adorned with an array of her favorite foods.”I didn’t expect all of my favorite breakfast foods to be here!”she exclaimed.
Brandon couldn’t help but chuckle as he glanced at his happy wife.He chose not to tell her that he had personally arranged for all the food,and instead,raised his chin and gestured for her to begin eating.”Come on,dig in.They won’t taste as good once they get cold,”he said with a smile.
After they finished breakfast,Brandon accompanied Natalie to work.
As she prepared to step into the car,she noticed that the driver wasn’t Sean,and asked with curiosity,”Why isn’t Sean driving today?Where did he go?”
Brandon raised his eyebrows playfully,a mischievous glint flashing in his eyes.”Ive assigned him to a more important task,so he’s busy with that now,”he said in a mysterious tone. Natalie’s curiosity was piqued by Brandon’s mysterious demeanor,making her probe further. “What is itDoes it have something to do with work?Can you give me a hint?”she inquired eagerly.3
Instead of providing a direct answer,Brandon playfully pulled her into the car,a mysterious smile adorning his face.”It’s a secret.You’ll find out soon enough.”
Natalie wasn’t the type to push for answers,so upon realizing that Brandon was reluctant to share further details,she chose not to p**ss the matter. Instead,she obediently entered the car and shifted her attention and thoughts to the upcoming fashion show.
As the car journeyed along,Brandon gazed out of the window at the passing scenery,lost in thought.
Sean,on a secret mission assigned by Brandon, appeared furtively outside the top-floor suite of the hotel,where Natalie and Brandon had had sex the night before,holding a black garbage bag.
He peeked around the corner of the hallway,and after seeing the housekeeper open the room door and walk in to clean up,he seized the chance and sl*pped into the room unnoticed.
The housekeeper was busy cleaning the bathroom when Sean made his move.He found the garbage can that had already been emptied beside the bed before sl*pping his bag,filled with used tissues, over the empty can.
After everything was set,Sean silently left theroom. However,he didn’t leave the hotel and headed to the hotel’s surveillance room.
In the monitoring room,a scruffy man with a beard was staring at the screen before him with all his attention.As soon as Sean entered the room,the man curled his l*ps in displeasure and said,”Im a technical master at Larson Group with an annual salary of ten million!Don’t you think it’s a little degrading for me to sneak around in this crappy hotel and watch their surveillance?”
Sean rolled his eyes at the man and replied,”Well, I’m Mr.Larson’s assistant,and l just had to sneak into a room and swap out some garbage.Maybe we should have switched places,and you swap out the garbage while l watched the surveillance?”
The technician immediately shut his mouth and looked at Sean sympathetically.”You’re the only person who can perform such a challenging task!” “Say that again!”Frustrated and embarrassed, Sean almost wanted to throw the garbage back at the technician.
The technician immediately covered his mouth and shook his head,indicating he wouldn’t dare to t**se him anymore.However,the laughter in his eyes couldn’t be concealed lgnoring him,Sean decided to focus on the monitor before him.”Did you delete the part where
I went into the room to swap out the garbage?”he asked
The technician was struggling to contain his laughter when he heard that,and his face turned red.
“I…Ive deleted it.”While speaking,he bit his l*p to prevent himself from bursting into laughter.
Sean glared at him.He then walked over to the monitor and sat beside him to watch the footage. “Oh,by the way…How did you manage to get into this surveillance room?Did you…”Sean asked, blinking his eyes.
He gave the man beside him a disdainful look, making his meaning self-evident.
The technician gave Sean a stink eye and retorted, “If you keep looking at me like that,Ill restore the surveillance video right now and let the world see you stealing garbage!”
Sean raised his hands in surrender.”Okay,I won’t.” The technician proudly explained,”It’s because l’m famous.The hotel’s network administrator is my fan,and soon as he heard I was coming,he let me in right away.I was even planning on hacking into the hotel’s security system,but it seems like that won’t be necessary.
Seeing the technician’s smug attitude,Sean couldn’t help rolling his eyes again.
The technician,now armed with Sean’s secret, became even more arrogant.”What?You got a problem?’
Sean rolled his eyes again,annoyed with him. “Alright,let’s just focus on the surveillance.If we miss anything,Mr.Larson will punish us.”
At that moment,the technician suddenly exclaimed,”This person looks suspicious!”
Sean also turned to look at the monitor with a serious exp**ssion.
A man in black was walking towards the suite where Natalie and Brandon had stayed the night before.After seeing the man’s face,Sean’s exp**ssion changed dramatically.
The latest model of Rolls-Royce steadily parked at the door of the studio.
When Brandon was about get off the car and walk Natalie to the studio,his phone suddenly rang.
Brandon frowned and wanted to ignore the call. His main concern was to walk his wife into the studio.
However,Natalie held onto his hand and said gently, “Answer the call.I’m fine walking to the studio alone.”
“No,I want to walk you in.I won’t feel at ease otherwise,”Brandon insisted firmly.
Natalie couldn’t stop Brandon as he was too insistent.So she nodded,and they entered the studio together after he ended the call.
Before they parted,Brandon gave Natalie a peck on the forehead and said softly,”IIl fetch you off work tonight.Work hard but don’t overexert yourself.” “Got it,”Natalie replied with a sweet smile.

“Got it,”Natalie replied with a sweet smile.
Brandon watched as Natalie entered the office before returning to the car reluctantly.Finally,he switched on his phone,and his exp**ssion instantly chilled as he saw Sean’s message.
It was a cl*p from the surveillance footage.
The cl*p showed a man entering the suite he booked the night before and coming out with a garbage bag.
The man seemed calm and collected.He held on to the garbage bag as if it was a bouquet.
Brandon felt a little nauseated as he watched.
As Brandon forced himself to carry on watching the footage,his pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the man’s face.
He searched his memories and remembered when he and Natalie were dining at a restaurant,and someone had accidentally eaten their cake.Never did he expect it to be the same guy!
The person was none other than Jeremy,the new head of the Turner family.
The man’s face from the footage gradually overlapped with Jeremy’s from that night.
Brandon was shocked to find out that Jeremy was, in fact,the one scheming behind their backs!
However,it gradually made sense the more he thought about it.The crushing weight on his heart had also finally begun to lift.
It seemed his suspicions were spot on.It was no coincidence receiving promotional leaflets from the hotel.They specifically targeted at them.
Otherwise,it would be difficult to explain how a regular hotel could afford to decorate their room with fresh roses and coincidentally distribute promotional leaflets near Natalie’s studio.
So it seems the mysterious pharmacist had finally made a move again.
And this time,Brandon found a clue.He finally got the upper hand in this game of cat-and-mouse.
He was confident in winning as long as he knew whom he was up against.With this knowledge,he could protect Natalie and prevent her from getting hurt.
Brandon r*bbed his wedding ring and started to strategize.His l*ps curved slightly,and his eyes were as cold as frost.
He wondered what was Jeremy’s role in the game. Based on the clues he collected,Charis and the mysterious pharmacist were connected.Not long after Charis’death,Jeremy quickly took control of the Turner Group.
Meanwhile,Suzanne’s company always had a hold on Internet celebrities through a certain type of drug.Although the drug could make the celebrities appear young and beautiful,its side effects were very harmful to their bodies.
Such a drug was obviously in line with the style of the mysterious pharmacist.So no doubt,he was the one who formulated it.
Also,Jeremy visited Suzanne’s company when Vivi was involved in a car accident.Although he tried to hide his face,Brandon could still recognize him.
Jeremy was involved in both incidents related to the pharmacist,indicating he was a key player in the game.
So what was Jeremy’s true identity?Was he the mysterious pharmacist’s pawn?Or was he the pharmacist himself?
As he was currently short of leads,Brandon didn’t want to waste any time speculating.He stared at Jeremy’s face in the surveillance footage,and an evil grin gradually spread across his face.
Although Brandon couldn’t remember interacting much with Jeremy and having any grievances with him,he couldn’t care less about Jeremy’s motives. Since Jeremy was a threat to him,he wouldn’t hesitate to take actions.
He decided to go on the offense to seize control of the situation.Only then person he loved most.
Jeremy b**ton…He hoped not disappoint him.
