The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 648

After hanging up the phone, Brandon stood up and was about to leave for the meeting.

“Brandon, your wife has been found, right?” Charis asked in a seemingly casual tone. She had been standing next to Brandon when the Whites called and had clearly overheard what they said.

Brandon had gone straight to work at the Larson Group headquarters as soon as he was discharged from the hospital.

He wanted to get his work back on track as soon as possible, but he didn’t want other people to know that he had lost his memory. Therefore, Brandon had asked Charis to brief him on the Larson Group’s affairs over the past two years. So over the past few days, Charis had been by Brandon’s side nearly 24/7.

Naturally, she had grown to become the person that Brandon relied on the most.

No one else in the Larson Group knew why she had left the company before, so now that she was back, nobody questioned it either. After all, Charis was a senior executive of the company, and she was one of the partners who had founded Larson Group alongside Brandon. Everyone respected her very much.

“Yes. Just now, the White couple called and said they found her.” Brandon picked up a document from the table and spoke so calmly, it was as though the news was irrelevant to him.

“That’s wonderful news!” A smile appeared on Charis’ face. It looked like she was very happy for Janet.

However, the second Brandon lowered his head to skim through other documents on the table, the smile on her face faded away. Her expression darkened and her eyes took on a dangerous light.

What a lucky bitch! Janet managed to survive yet again!

Charis was both shocked and angry.

It had rained heavily for two days and two nights after Janet’s car accident. Given such dangerous circumstances, Janet shouldn’t have survived alone at sea.

Now that Janet was back safe and sound, she’d definitely screw up all of Charis’ plans. Charis knew that she was in deep trouble now.

She had to do something to stop Janet and Brandon from getting back together.

However, she soon managed to calm down. Judging from Brandon’s attitude when he answered the phone just now, it was obvious that he didn’t care much about Janet now that he had lost all his memories of her.

The man who stood before Charis now was the Brandon from two years ago.

This was the Brandon who was devoted to his career and couldn’t give a damn about romance. The only thing that tied him to Janet was their nominal marriage. As long as Charis seized any and every opportunity to put obstacles in their path, she knew she could separate them forever.

Brandon didn’t say anything more. Gathering the documents needed for the meeting, he seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he broke the silence. “After this meeting, you can get off work first. I’m going to the hospital to see Janet.”

He thought it was only right that he pay his own wife a visit. After all, the White family held a high position in Barnes. If he acted too indifferent, it would probably piss them off, which could be a detriment to the future development of the Larson Group in Barnes.

Smiling gently, Charis said sweetly, “Okay. Please send my regards to Janet. You don’t need to worry about the company. I’ll inform you if anything happens.”

*******

After a busy afternoon, the meeting finally ended.

Brandon was waiting in his office for the driver to arrive.

All of a sudden, Charis burst into the room and cried, “Brandon, don’t leave just yet.”

“What’s wrong?” Brandon frowned.

“The company’s security system has been hacked, and all confidential information is at the risk of being disclosed. You’d better come and see for yourself.” Charis had ran all the way up, so she was panting and out of breath.

Brandon’s expression changed.

Hacked? How could such a thing happen all of a sudden?
