My Wealthy Husband

Uncle

Brandon’s heart jolted and then he was about to approach. But he saw the pill lying on the floor. He paused for a second and picked it up. Novia frowned and said with anger, “Give it back to me.”

Brandon stayed motionless. he was exasperated looking at the contraceptive pill. Then he suddenly threw it on the floor, shouting, “You can’t even wait to use contraceptive?”

Novia glanced at him coldly. Then she picked up the pill case and turned to leave him.

Brandon took a step toward her and grabbed the handle, saying in a low voice, “Novia, you’ve said that you will wait for me if I come back.”

Novia stood motionless for a while and then shouted at him with anger which she restrained for a long time.

“What right had you to ask me wait for you? Have you made a commitment to me? Why should I wait for you? You came back with your fiancée. And you want me to still love you and wait for you without any complaints? Brandon, you are so disgusting.”

“Isn’t Jason disgusting?”

“What do you know about him? Do you know all his secrets? He has a seven-year-old son, but you think he’s better than me? Novia, after all these years, you are still being naïve.”

He said with contempt, which further annoyed Novia. She lifted her head and looked into his eyes, saying soberly, “I don’t know whether he is disgusting, but I know he will never disturb a woman when she lives a happy life after being abandoned. Lastly, I should remind you that we will get to know each other step by step after we get married.”

After saying this, she entered the passcode and opened the door. While he was still dumbfounded, she shut the door angrily in front of him.

What she had said infuriated him. He did not expect that the incident of Ayan would make her develop an affection toward him. The thought irritated him. He would not allow them to further develop their relationship.

The death of the Ayan whipped up public opinion. The Thompson Group filed a lawsuit against the CEO of H. Group, Jason, because he launched a hostile takeover for the Thompson Group and retaliated against them. He even enticed Ayan to take drugs. And the Chapman family helped to cover for him with their influence. There were other villainies.

The press hurried to report this event. And the government also attached great importance to this. Three generations of the Chapman family had been hooked into the military and political circle. The Evans family, the opposing faction of the Chapman family, also seized the opportunity and planned to deal a death blow to the Chapman family. The Chapman family was out on a limb now. The government began to investigate the event. Others would utilize every potential disadvantage to strike.

Novia watched the TV news every day, worrying. But because of the event, the press paid less attention to the Graham family. Now she could come back to the company to work. Nevertheless, she could not settle to her work at all. Once she thought of the situation which the Chapman family had faced, she felt she could not just stand aside.

The phone began to ring. She took a look at it and then answer the phone quickly.

“Hello, are you OK?”

Jason laughed and said tenderly, “You are worrying about me?”

Novia did not want to joke with him now. She was very worried. Maybe because she was a businessman, she was afraid of dealing with the police or politicians. She had settled a lot of problems. But they were all unimportant things which could be handled with money. However, it was a problem that she did not dare to take lightly this time. And she could do nothing.

“Jason, you can give the video to the police if necessary. I…”

“Stop that.”

He was clearly upset.

“You are my girlfriend. I won’t let others to authenticate your picture to protect myself. I’m that kind of loser in your mind?”

Novia did not answer. She just wanted to settled this quickly. They would be at a disadvantage if it took too long to handle this. But hearing this, she thought she had better be silent.

“I’m sorry.” She spoke.

Jason sighed, “Well, I’ve said that you can get busy with your work and ignore this. I’ll come to you if I’m free. All you need to worry about is how to make me happy then. Just ignore other problems. I’ll handle everything.”

Novia felt her heart melted. She was pleased and then she could not resist smiling. She replied in a low voice, “OK.”

After Jason hung up the phone, he turned and looked angrily at the man sitting on the couch in the living room. Gazing at him, Brandon seemed to smirk. The faces of Asher and Grandma also grew solemn. The atmosphere crackled with tension.

Seeing that Jason stepped toward him, Brandon stood up abruptly and gave a smile.

“Mr. Chief of Staff, think about my advice carefully. You will lose nothing. And I just want to get what I deserve to get. What’s more, I do not tell you to lie, right?”

Asher’s expression was solemn. After a while, he lifted his head and looked at Brandon.

“If I had known, I would not had allowed you to be born.”

The expression on Brandon’s face changed. He sniggered and said angrily, “Too bad. What is done cannot be undone.”

Then he was to go out. But he paused for a second when he passed by Jason and said unhurriedly, “Jason, remember I’m your uncle. Otherwise, others may think the Chapman family are not respectful to their elders.”

Jason’s face grew ice-cold immediately.

After Brandon left, Asher could not resist gasping, with his hand holding his chest, which startled Grandma. Grandma asked the servant to take out his medicine right away and helped Asher to take the pill, sighing.

“He doesn’t listen to anyone now. Why do you get so angry like that just because of him? Just satisfy him if he wants the reputation of the Chapman family.”

Asher took a breath and spoke.

“I do not regret anything I have done other than this.”

Saying this, he looked at Grandma with guilt.

“It’s the worst thing that I’ve done to you.”

Grandma shook her head, “It had gone for a long time. Don’t bring it up again. He may just want you to admit that he’s your son. Now that there is a simple solution, why do we complicate it? I don’t care about that. I just wish that my children and grandchildren would be safe.”

Asher closed his eyes, and he could not calm himself down.

Jason was thinking about Brandon’s intention. He did not believe Brandon did this was to come back to the Chapman family. He was not going to come back since he had taken revenge on the Chapman family back then. Now what was his intention? Jason could not help thinking of Novia. Then he was a bit unnerved with a frown.

Three days later, there was a big news on the newspaper. Brandon, the CEO of F&R Group, was the youngest son of Asher who had been placed in a foster family. It was reported that Brandon was the son of Asher and Grandma. But he had been a sickly child, so he was sent abroad for the better treatment. And he stayed abroad after he grew up. All his life experience had been exposed. If someone searched him online, he would know all the things about Brandon living abroad. The Chapman family got things done quickly. But Brandon only gave a mocking smile when he saw the news. Then he took up his phone and dialed a number.

“Hello?”
