Brandon was currently in a cafe, enjoying his favorite white coffee. It had been quite a while since he had enjoyed a cup of white coffee and spent time alone in peace.Despite having many problems, spending time like this was something someone like Brandon hoped for.Occasionally, he sipped his coffee while looking outside through the window. For a moment, he wanted to forget all the problems that had entered his life, especially his love troubles with Ariana.Brandon took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "Can I enjoy a moment like this for a while? It feels like my heart is a little calmer."Brandon sipped his drink again, occasionally smelling the rich aroma of the white coffee.As Brandon was enjoying his drink without thinking about anything, his eyes narrowed when he saw a woman he knew so well. There, he saw Ariana - his ex-fiancée - being intimate with someone.How could they be so close? The man was even touching Ariana's lips and caressing her cheek affectionately.B

Hearing the commotion outside the house, Brandon quickly went to check. He froze when he saw two people of different ages arguing. "No! How could you do this when I already forbade it?" Brandon's mother scolded. "You should just go home, Brandon isn't here," she shooed away the young woman in front of her.The woman shook her head. "No! I won't leave until I meet Brandon, I'm sure he's home."The argument between the two women of different ages made Brandon sigh. He didn't know what they were bickering about. Not wanting to hear the quarrel continue, Brandon approached and stood between them. "What's going on?" he asked, looking at the two women alternately, then focusing his gaze on the one who had caused the disturbance. "What happened, Miss Stella?"Stella Robinson immediately felt relieved upon seeing the person she wanted to meet now in front of her. "I'm sorry, Mr. Brandon, I didn't mean to cause a disturbance. It's just... your mother forbade me from meeting you."Brandon's

Panic was clearly visible on Brandon's face. The man was deeply worried about his mother's condition."Mom, wake up, Mom!" Brandon tried again to wake his mother, but unfortunately, she remained unconscious."I need to give her first aid," Brandon said. He quickly lifted his unconscious mother's body, carefully carrying her to the bedroom. He laid her on the bed, his face showing deep concern."Mom, hang in there," he whispered while holding her hand.As Brandon was about to check his mother's pulse, he suddenly heard repeated knocking at the door. At first, he tried to ignore it, focusing on his mother's critical condition.However, the knocking became louder and more urgent. Brandon sighed in frustration, forced to leave his mother's side to see who was coming at such a crucial time."What do they want? Why do they keep knocking?" With hurried steps, Brandon went down the stairs to the front door. The knocking continued, growing more impatient."Yeah, yeah, I'm coming!" Brandon shou

"Mr. Brandon, I heard that you decided not to provide treatment for Angelica - my sister. Is that true?"After receiving a report from one of his subordinates, Richard immediately invited Brandon to meet at a restaurant not far from his company. He needed to know why Brandon decided to stop Angelica's treatment.Brandon paused for a moment. He actually felt quite uncomfortable telling Richard the reason, especially since Richard was Angelica's brother.After thinking about it, Brandon nodded. "I'm sorry, Mr. Richard," he said with a rather heavy expression. "I didn't do this without reason, but rather..."Richard frowned when Brandon didn't continue his sentence. "Just say it, Mr. Brandon, maybe we can find a solution. Do you need a lot of money? I can provide the amount you need, just name the figure."Brandon shook his head, "No, Mr. Richard, it's not about money. It's just that Miss Angelica is too arrogant and seems to look down on me. That's why after careful consideration... I d

"Where are we going, Brandon? This is your grandfather's house, how can we leave here?" Brandon's mother immediately protested, not accepting that she had to leave the house she had lived in since childhood.Brandon sighed, gently reaching for his mother's hand. "Mom, listen to Brandon, we have to leave here. We can't stay here anymore."Brandon's mother quickly pulled her hand away, indicating that the middle-aged woman still couldn't accept it. "No, Brandon! I won't leave this house. There are so many memories from living here."Brandon sighed again. He didn't know how to make his mother understand. "I know, Mom, but we can't stay here, this house will be demolished soon. We have to...""This is all your fault, Brandon! Why couldn't you make Ariana happy? So Ariana sought happiness with another man," his mother interrupted with a disappointed look.Brandon was shocked, he didn't expect his mother to turn around and blame him. It was clear that she had heard the recording he had secr
