Xavier's anger peaked when he heard the taunts coming out of Brandon's mouth. I don't know how Brandon was able to buy it for twice the original price, but Xavier would still try to take the property back.

"I'll buy it for three times as much," Xavier offered. "Now sell it back to me."

Brandon pulled the corners of his lips up, like his plan was going to work this time. "Three times as much? Do you think that's a fair price?"

Xavier sighed, he seemed to be thinking hard, until finally a heavy sigh escaped his mouth. "Alright, 5 times."

Brandon seemed to nod his head, pretending to think hard. "That seems like an appropriate price." Brandon held out his hand, "Is it a deal?"

Xavier looked at Brandon's hand, there was actually something quite heavy for him. But his pride was too high just to undo what he had said. He wondered if it would be okay this time. "Of course, Deal!" Xavier accepted Brandon's hand despite a slight hesitation.

Brandon smiled with satisfaction. He nodded his head

    After receiving a report from one of his subordinates, Mr. Willy immediately called Xavier. The man now looked furious. His expression was very hostile.Several guards and subordinates could only bow their heads. Of course, if Mr. Willy was angry, they might also face the consequences."How could that kid be this stupid?" Mr. Willy growled after asking Xavier to come home immediately. His hand tightly squeezed the phone he was holding. If only the object were soft, Mr. Willy might have easily crushed it.Meanwhile, at the hotel, Xavier quickly picked up the clothes lying on the floor. He put them on hurriedly, not wanting to face even greater anger.Ariana, still covered by the blanket because her body was naked, frowned when she saw Xavier putting on his clothes in a rush. Of course, she didn't know what had happened, so Ariana decided to ask, "What's wrong, Xavier?"Xavier shook his head. "I don't know either, Ariana," said Xavier, who was now buttoning up his clothes. "I have to go

    "Mr. Brandon! Could you deliver these documents to one of our partner companies?"Brandon, who had just finished treating Angelica, immediately approached when he saw Richard sitting on the sofa.Richard handed him the documents and said, "I'm appointing you as Deputy Director of my company. These documents are very important and must be delivered by someone important too."Brandon was surprised. He didn't expect to receive such a great honor from Richard. His job here was only to care for Angelica, but now he was being appointed as Deputy Director.Still in disbelief, Brandon asked, "Is this serious, Mr. Richard?" His gaze showed his incredulity. "Isn't Deputy Director too high a position for me?"Richard smiled, "After seeing you negotiate with Mr. Xavier and reach an agreement five times the initial price, I decided to appoint you as Deputy Director in my company. Do you object? Or would you prefer I set up a private clinic for you?"Brandon quickly shook his head. Although he was

    Kevin clenched his fist. His patience was exhausted, but he still tried not to explode and cause a scene.With great effort, Kevin calmed himself, taking a deep breath and exhaling roughly. "Alright, Brandon, just say you don't understand, and I'll explain it," Kevin finally said.Brandon just nodded, agreeing to whatever Kevin was about to say, even though he could already guess. "Yes, I'll listen for about 5 minutes, Dr. Kevin. I still have work to do."Brandon's words irritated Kevin slightly, but he had no choice but to try to stay calm. "Please don't tell Angelica, this isn't what you think. She's just my cousin."Brandon raised an eyebrow. Did the man in front of him think he was stupid?"Haha, you're very funny, Dr. Kevin." Brandon laughed, making Kevin furrow his brow in confusion."What do you mean, Brandon?" Kevin asked, clearly not understanding.Brandon sighed, looking at Kevin while shaking his head. "Do you think I'm stupid? If you're relatives, how could you be kissing

    Brianna stared at Brandon with disbelief and slight annoyance. "What do you mean? You just glanced at the screen and dare to give such advice?" she snapped, glaring at the man who introduced himself as Brandon and a representative from Richard's company.Seeing Brianna's reaction, Brandon sighed. However, he understood her response, given that they weren't close friends, and it was a bit difficult to trust each other's words.Brandon nodded, realizing he needed to explain, "Miss Brianna, I understand this might sound presumptuous, but I have experience in this field. The pattern I see in the graph indicates that—""Experience?" Brianna interrupted, her voice rising. "I've been in this field for years. You think you can read the situation better than me just by taking a quick look?" Brianna looked at Brandon cynically, thinking this man was truly audacious to assume she had no experience.Brandon took a deep breath, trying to remain calm despite Brianna's rejection. Not wanting to give

    At Company Group, Richard was seen busy working on documents on his desk. He had a lot of work at the moment. He was so busy that he couldn't even go to Brianna's company and had to send Brandon as his representative."I hope Brianna has received the files," said Richard, who in his busyness certainly couldn't forget about the documents that Brandon had taken to give to Brianna.In the midst of his busy work, his cell phone, which he had placed on the desk, rang quite loudly. Richard glanced at the phone screen, and a wide smile spread across his face when he saw Brianna's name displayed there. Richard immediately stopped what he was doing and put the documents back down. He answered the call and held the phone to his left ear."Hello, Brianna?" Richard greeted cheerfully. His heart was racing, hoping Brianna was calling to invite him to lunch or just to chat. "Have you received the files?" Richard then asked.On the other end of the phone, Brianna nodded, "Yes, someone named Brandon

    In the spacious office, Richard looked at Brandon with a mixture of surprise and... relief? Yes, for some reason, a hint of relief emerged in his heart when he heard Brandon refuse the deputy director position. Perhaps his conversation with Brianna on the phone a few minutes ago had also influenced Richard.Richard sighed, looking at the young man whose age was almost the same as his sister Angelica's. "Hmm, Mr. Brandon, are you sure about this decision?" Richard asked, trying to hide the pleased tone in his voice so Brandon wouldn't suspect anything.Brandon nodded firmly. "Yes, Mr. Richard. I've thought it through carefully," he replied with a slight smile, as if to indicate that his decision wasn't made under duress.Richard leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping the desk slowly. His gaze remained fixed on Brandon, almost as if interrogating him.Richard then nodded, "Well, if that's your decision, Mr. Brandon, I can't force you to accept my offer. Although it's certainly re

    The misunderstanding made Brandon uncomfortable. Especially since Angelica already had a boyfriend and she was also Richard's sister.He sighed, shaking his head in frustration. "Mom, really, it's not what you think. We're not—"Unfortunately, Brandon's mother just smiled widely, ignoring Brandon's attempts to explain. "It's okay, Brandon, I'm even happy to see you two finally together. Moreover, Angelica..." Brandon's mother paused, looking at Angelica with a smile on her face, "Beautiful," she continued.Brandon sighed again. It seemed his mother was indeed stubborn. When Brandon wanted to explain again, it was too late because his mother had already hurried away, as if intentionally leaving them alone.Seeing his mother was no longer in her place, Brandon let out a long sigh. His face was no longer friendly after what had just happened.Feeling frustrated because his mother wouldn't listen, Brandon finally looked at Angelica, who was just silent while staring at Brandon.Seeing Bra

    Angelica's question made Brandon fall silent. It seemed he had accidentally let something slip. Brandon quickly shook his head and said, "No, you misheard, Miss Angelica. I didn't say anything about that."Angelica furrowed her brow, certain that she hadn't misheard. She opened her mouth to protest, "But I'm sure you just said—"However, before Angelica could finish her sentence, Brandon quickly cut her off and changed the subject. "I'm sorry, Miss Angelica, but I think we're done discussing this. I have to go now. Please tell Miss Chaterina that I can't make it tonight." Brandon hurriedly left Angelica.Angelica was still shocked by Brandon's sudden change in attitude. She felt frustrated because Brandon was clearly avoiding the topic she had just brought up."You can't just dismiss me like that, Brandon! We're not done talking!" Angelica protested, running after Brandon and grabbing his arm.Brandon angrily shook off Angelica's grip, looking at her with displeasure. "Enough! Miss An

    All day long, Ariana was in her room. She kept shedding tears, so sad that Brandon had left her. They were going to get married soon, but why did something so unwanted have to happen?"Why did you decide to leave me, Brandon? Can't you just give me one chance?"Ariana kept trying to call him, but until now, Brandon hadn't picked up the phone. Many times Ariana made calls, but still Brandon had no intention of picking up the phone from her. However, Ariana doesn't want to give up so easily. She would keep trying to call Brandon until he picked up the phone.Feeling annoyed because she had tried several times to call, Ariana rudely threw her cell phone in all directions, so angry with the man who did not want to pick up the phone from her."Shit! What do you want from me, Brandon? How can you ignore me like this!" Ariana screamed in her room, letting out her emotions to everyone around her.Eli, who was outside the room, was worried and saddened by Ariana's situation. He had tried to pe

    Brandon flashed a smile. He could of course deduce from his mother's lucky question that she was really worried about him. Brandon was grateful to have a mother who loved him so much and was always there when he was in trouble."Brandon is fine, Mom. There's no need to worry," Brandon finally said.Brandon's mom nodded her head, truly relieved that nothing major had happened to Brandon. The middle-aged woman put down the fruit she had bought before deciding to return to the room. After putting the fruits down, she pulled out the chair next to Angelica and began to sit on it."Oh yeah, I just saw Ariana. Why didn't she leave quickly? Did she come here already?"Apparently Brandon's mother still didn't know that Brandon had actually remembered everything. The man didn't want to accept back Ariana who had betrayed him. Even though she had tried to change, Brandon couldn't accept her back. If it was just to forgive, Brandon would have forgiven, but if it was to return, don't expect Brando

    "Brandon, what do you mean?"With her heart pounding, Ariana approached the bed where Brandon was being treated. She was a little worried; if he remembered everything now, then what about him? Would he leave her?Angelica remained where she was, looking at Brandon and Ariana in turn. Of course, she also felt curious about what had happened to Brandon. Why did he suddenly seem to have forbidden Ariana to come? Hadn't they been so close the past few days? In fact, Angelica had seen the two of them making out in the living room."What are you doing here, Ariana? I didn't ask for your presence at all," Brandon insisted, glaring disapprovingly at the woman who was now walking towards him. I don't know why she was here all of a sudden, when their relationship had been over for quite some time."I don't understand what you're saying, Brandon. Aren't we...""We're not in a relationship anymore, Ariana. And aren't you ashamed to come here after what you did to me?" cut in Brandon quickly, glar

    Brandon's mother came out of the house with an inexplicable feeling; worry was overwhelming her. She was so worried about Brandon's condition. Why was he suddenly in the hospital? Didn't he ask permission to go to a café earlier? Then why was the call from the hospital suddenly saying that Brandon had been in an accident?Brandon's mother continued to run towards the highway, hoping to find a taxi that would take her quickly to the hospital.Angelica, who happened to be leaving the house, frowned when she saw Brandon's mother in a hurry. She looked confused at Brandon's mother. Quickly, Angelica decided to approach her, especially now that the middle-aged woman looked so hurried that it made Angelica feel a little worried."Tante, what's wrong?" asked Angelica as she tapped Brandon's mother on the shoulder.Brandon's mother instantly turned her head when she felt her shoulder being held. The middle-aged woman was almost in tears when she said it. "Brandon had an accident, Miss Angelic

    The unsuitable meeting with Brandon made Ariana feel upset, but she would still try to get Brandon's mother to approve their relationship to the level of marriage.After meeting with Brandon at the cafe, she decided to go home. She had no intention of going anywhere, as she was currently feeling upset and in an uncomfortable mood.Ariana climbed the stairs as soon as she got home, but her steps were immediately halted when suddenly someone called her. That someone was none other than Rian; surely her brother was curious about the look on her face right now."Did something happen, Ariana? You looked so happy earlier, but now your face looks dull."Rian looked suspiciously at the woman who had just arrived. Of course she could guess what had happened to the woman, considering how she had reacted before leaving, and now the dull face she showed when she had just returned indicated something had happened to her.Ariana sighed. She turned to Rian, whose hands were currently folded over his

    "Have a seat, Ariana."Brandon pulled out a chair for Ariana so that she sat across from him. Ariana nodded, feeling happy for the attention Brandon was giving her. Was he doing this because he was going to marry her soon? Imagining that made Ariana feel calm. She nodded and sat down in the chair provided by Brandon."I'm sorry if I made you wait so long, Brandon," Ariana said after sitting in the chair, looking at Brandon guiltily for making him wait. Ariana was sure that Brandon must have waited a long time, considering he was still talking to Ryan, his younger brother.Brandon just nodded and decided to sit back in his chair. After that, he called a waiter to immediately prepare food for the two of them."What would you like to order, Ariana?" asked Brandon after receiving the menu book from the waiter. He then handed one of the menu books to Ariana.Ariana immediately grabbed the menu book offered by Brandon and read all the options in the cafe. After finding the menu she wanted,

    After telling his mother everything about getting married, Brandon felt a little relieved. At least, his mother already knew that Ariana wanted to get married, it's just that his mother still didn't agree with rushing to decide to get married. Currently, Brandon was at a cafe quite close to Ariana's house. He decided to meet with her and talk about this, hoping that she would understand. After all, he himself was still not ready to take things to a more serious level. Meanwhile, Ariana, who was still at home, was wearing make-up with a smile on her face. She was happy that she would soon be married to Brandon, especially after he expressed his wishes. She was sure that Brandon would talk about their wedding at the café. Still in her room, Ariana wore quite a bit of make-up, hoping that even with the light make-up, Brandon would always be mesmerized by her. As Ariana was getting dressed, someone suddenly opened the door. She had no intention of turning around because she was too fo

    After Ariana's departure, Brandon was silent on the couch, thinking about what they had talked about this time. She already wanted to marry him, and Brandon, ready or not, had to tell his mother this. After all, they had been engaged for quite some time, which meant it was appropriate for them to take things to a more serious level."Will I eventually marry Ariana?"Brandon was pensive as he stared out the window. His mind was currently completely occupied with Ariana's request for marriage. They couldn't possibly continue like this without a more definite bond. Although it was only an engagement, they had been engaged for quite some time.Brandon sighed, a little annoyed by what he was thinking. Honestly, the man still had no plans to get married. However, he also couldn't possibly keep making promises to Ariana. She might turn and leave him, looking for someone more serious, and Brandon certainly didn't want that to happen."What should I do?"Hearing the sound of the car that had j

    "Does Angelica come here often?"It was only after Angelica's departure that Ariana asked Brandon. Of course, she was quite surprised by Angelica's sudden arrival, and she had even interrupted her moment of intimacy with Brandon. How could she just walk in without knocking first, something he had never imagined before.Brandon was a little uncomfortable with the questions Ariana had just asked about Angelica. He knew that Angelica had just made a mistake, but did Ariana have to talk about her?Brandon was silent for a moment, trying to find the right words so that Ariana wouldn't suspect him. After all, he didn't have a special relationship with Angelica either and had never had feelings for her."She's my patient, Ariana. You don't need to worry about that."Those seemed to be the right words for Brandon to say at the moment, hoping that the woman beside him would understand and not prolong the matter, despite his efforts.Hearing the words that Brandon had just said, made Ariana sil
