The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 1049 Secret Document

Jeremy looked at Vivian with a somber expression. Slowly averting his eyes, he produced a documentfrom his briefcase.

The document’s content was shocking. It contained details and research about Brandon’s condition.Vivian went through it quickly. Suddenly, her eyes stopped moving.

“What is this? When did Brandon lose his memory? Is this some kind of joke?” Vivian didn’t know whatto feel or think. She felt like she was in a dream as a sense of shock came over her. Surely, this mustbe nothing more than a stupid prank.

Jeremy didn’t respond and continued to hold the same expression. Somehow composing herself again,she flipped through the rest of the pages. It was true. This was no joke. Her mind started thinking backto the times she had spent with Brandon, trying to scout clues. Surely, she could have found outthrough some conversation with him, some small detail he’d have given away… but no, that wasn’t thecase.

“I… I can’t believe it. Brandon hid it so well. He even hid it from Janet! How did you replace out?” Jeremysneered and then said softly, “Brandon’s condition has consequences for everyone. This document hasdetailed records, which can easily shake the whole Larson Group once it’s made public.”

Vivian’s eyes widened at what she had just heard. “No, Larson Group is one of the most powerfulcompanies in Barnes. It cannot fall down that easily. You are oversimplifying it.”

Jeremy retorted quickly, “No, Vivian. You’re undermining Brandon’s presence in the company. All thepartners associated with Larson Group value him. It is his decision-making and intelligence that have

made the company what it is today. But would any of them continue to trust him now that he is sufferingfrom memory loss and intellectual deterioration?”

Vivian could see his point. It made complete sense to her, which only caused her to feel more flusteredand inexplicably anxious.

She had many questions and she still couldn’t wrap her head around the information dropped on her. Itwas a lot to take in. Confused, she asked, “How did Brandon get amnesia? He is so young and lookshealthy. Besides, how do you know all this?”

Vivian was shaking with restlessness. A myriad of questions arose in her mind.

She didn’t think Jeremy would be so aware of the domestic affairs since he had been abroad all yeararound.

Other than being her teacher and mentor, did Jeremy have a secret identity she didn’t know about? “Iam surprised you don’t. You really don’t know that it was Charis, who you admired so much, thatcaused Brandon’s memory loss?” asked Jeremy.

For Vivian, it was another shock. The world seemed to have shifted from beneath her feet. “How couldthat happen?”

“How could it not? Charis worked so hard to get Brandon. Poisoning him might have been just a pieceof cake for her,” Jeremy said in an indifferent tone.

“That’s impossible!” Vivian shook her head and cried out. She had always seen Charis as a righteous,honest and gentle woman. All she knew was that Charis was madly in love with Brandon. Theseaccusations of her plotting and scheming were driving Vivian insane.

“You’re so naive, Vivian,” said Jeremy with a smile. “These are people who have fought their way to thetop. You really think Charis achieved so much with just honesty and hard work? That’s silly. God knowshow many people she crushed to climb the ladder to success. She was no angel like you believe shewas!”

Vivian’s hands felt cold. A chill seemed to have gripped her heart. Clenching her wrists, she askedagain, “How do you know all this? How long have you known Charis?”

Jeremy scoffed. “Why should I answer you? There is no difference between you and Charis. Both ofyou are willing to do literally everything just to achieve your goal. Instead of gawking at me, you shouldjust do your own job! Save this interrogation for some other time.”

What was Jeremy implying? His tone was curt and cruel. Was Vivian just a lackey to him?

Vivian was heartbroken and disgusted. At this point, she didn’t even know how to defend herself.

As she kept quiet, Jeremy went on. “Well, that’s all for today. I have a project to work on. I hope you willbe more sensible the next time I see you, Vivian.” Jeremy turned around and hailed a taxi. His job herewas done.

Vivian held on to the street lamp post as the taxi disappeared into the distance. She heaved a longsigh, still processing everything she had heard today about Brandon, Charis and even herself.

It was amusing how suddenly she started seeing everything that was wrong with Charis, when untilnow she admired her so much.

A storm seemed to have taken over her thoughts. For a moment, Vivian didn’t know what to do next.Who could she even talk to about this?

As the sun went down, a glorious gamut of colors painted the sky. The chirping of the birds soonceased, and a somber silence encompassed the hospital.

Janet walked into the ward with a lunch box, heading toward Brandon.

“Wow! Look at the size of that box! You really treat your husband differently from your friends. CanBrandon even finish it all? I seriously doubt it!” A voice came from behind her.

It was dripping with sarcasm. Janet’s face dropped as she turned around to replace Derek there. He washolding a fruit basket, a bag of snacks and a large bouquet of beautiful red roses. Standing in theafterglow of the setting sun, he flashed a bright smile.

“What are you doing here? Is someone in your family in the hospital?” Janet tried to maintain a neutraltone. She had to remind herself to not lose her calm because Derek had helped her before.

Walking toward her, Derek raised his eyebrows and teased, “Ah, I’m actually here to visit my rival inlove.”
