The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet)
Chapter 1037 The Investigation Result

"It's clear as day that Vivian and Charis were acquainted," Brandon admitted to Janet. "I suspect that Vivian had something to do with the recent events, but I don't have any concrete evidence to prove it yet," Brandon told Janet.

Lately, the two of them had been too exhausted to delve into the topic. But after seeing Garrett, Brandon felt much more at ease and decided to discuss the matter with Janet.

"Initially, I thought Vivian was a kind, beautiful, and enthusiastic person," Janet reflected, feeling like her previous assessment was too shallow. She didn't know much about Vivian, but she had jumped to conclusions too quickly. "What else have you from your investigation so far?"

"Just now, Sean came in and gave me an update on the investigation. He discovered that the car accident wasn't caused by Kathie and Ameer," Brandon replied, before leaning down to give Janet a long kiss. "You asked Sean to look into the casino. There's been some progress on that front. The man who frequently visited the casino was named Roger. According to the casino's dealer, Roger hasn't been to the casino for two days and no one had seen him ever since. It looks like he's gone on the lam."

"What does Roger do for a living?" Janet wondered, planning to personally investigate when she had some free time.

"Roger makes his money illegally. We don't know if he fled, vanished, or met with an untimely demise, and it will be difficult to replace out. Don't even think about going to the casino by yourself. It's not safe for you to go alone," Brandon warned, knowing that if Janet acted alone, she might put herself into potentially dangerous situations.

"Are you afraid that I'll be a hindrance to you and cause you more trouble at a time like this?" Janet furrowed her brow, feeling down as she remembered her past experiences.

She felt so useless.

Noticing her struggle to hold back her emotions, Brandon explained patiently, "I understand your concern, but I want to move forward with the next steps after we fully understand Vivian's motives. It's still too early. If we act too hastily, we could alert the enemy."

"If Vivian truly is behind all of this, then we should just keep our distance from her. To what end does she still remain a member of the Larson Group?" Janet shuddered at the thought, feeling scared.

Rubbing her shoulders, Brandon gave her a comforting smile. "You know it's not in my nature to turn tail and run. Plus, that pharmacist is a thorn on my side. I need to remove him from the equation completely."

Brandon held her tightly and whispered in her ear, "I want to trust my gut on this one."

"Well, you're going to do what you want regardless of what I say," Janet said, a little frustrated.

She lowered her eyes and fiddled with her fingers in silence.

"Over the past two years, my intuition has saved me from some close calls. And it was my intuition that led me to fall in love with you." Brandon felt like something was propelling him forward. Maybe this was destiny.

Softening his tone, Brandon reassured Janet. Upon hearing his heartfelt confession, Janet's gloomy expression softened.

She lifted her eyes and appeared slightly at ease. "I never said I would forbid you from doing it. There is just one promise you must make to me. You'll use caution."

Janet talked more when she was in a good mood. For further details, she pressed Brandon to elaborate on his recollections.

Brandon told her that she was the first person he could recall distinctly. He could answer all her questions about their past at random since most of his recollections were no longer clouded.

Janet puckered her lips in amazement and urged Brandon to start from the beginning. She hadn't counted on Brandon remembering every detail, even from their first night together.

"Who allowed you to speak about this?" Janet covered his mouth and blushed.

Brandon looked at Janet while kissing her fingertips. His voice was low and gruff, and his eyes were dark and deep. "Then let's just do it. Hmm?"
