Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife Chapter 706

Chapter 706: Chapter 706: The Young Master Spends the Night in Miss Swift's Boudoir Chapter 706: Chapter 706: The Young Master Spends the Night in Miss Swift's Boudoir Brandon Piers escorted Bertha Swift out of the cocktail party and felt someone following them. His handsome brows furrowed slightly as Pullan whispered, “Second Young Master, there's a reporter tailing us.”

“Mm.” Brandon glanced at the rearview mirror. It was probably not just any reporter. He turned his head to look at the obviously distracted Bertha Swift. “Miss Swift, would you mind going to a hotel with me?”

Bertha Swift was in a bad mood because of Adam Piers. Hearing Brandon's words, she was stunned at first. Her beautiful eyes widened, looking at Brandon in disbelief. This man was once drugged alongside her and nearly killed himself to avoid touching her. Now he was inviting her to a hotel?

Brandon watched Bertha Swift's reaction, “…”

Being looked at by Brandon like this, Bertha suddenly remembered Pullan's earlier words and immediately understood her misunderstanding. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, “Uh, I… I'll cooperate with you.”

Although their engagement was just a contractual agreement, it would bring the Swift family hundreds of millions in annual cooperative revenue. Naturally, she had to comply with the man's requests.

“Thank you, Miss Swift,” Brandon thanked her indifferently.

Bertha thought for a moment. “Actually, instead of going to a hotel, why don't we go to my apartment? The security measures are stricter once inside the community.”

Brandon naturally knew a private place would be safer, but he didn't want other women to come to his place. Now that Bertha had taken the initiative to suggest it, he had no reason to refuse.

Bertha then reported her apartment's address to Pullan.

The car turned around and headed towards Bertha Swift's boudoir. The car following them kept close. When they saw Brandon escorting Bertha inside without coming out for a long time, the crowd became excited.

Brandon was invited to Bertha's apartment. Compared to her unease, he seemed indifferent and calm. “You can go about your own business. Don't mind me.”

“Okay.” After the incident at the Waldorf, any romantic thoughts Bertha had towards Brandon had vanished. Instead, she remembered the ruthlessness when he used broken glass to cut toward her neck. She was particularly wary of him. Hearing his words, she was relieved and quickly retreated to her bedroom.

Brandon sat in Bertha's somewhat girlish living room, his mind full of the scene of Abigail dancing with Benjamin Jones. He was in a particularly bad mood. He pulled out his phone and opened Abigail's number but didn't dial it for a long time. He didn't know what to say to her. To order her not to get close to Benjamin?

What right did he have to order her now?

If he called, his chubby girl would probably ask about their breakup again. How should he answer then? He could avoid it the first two times; what about the third time? How could he avoid it then!

Unconsciously, he sighed and switched the screen. Abigail's number disappeared, replaced by an empty room. At this time, Aunt Claudia had already taken Teddy upstairs. Threo lay in his doghouse. The screen showed no one. Abigail should not have returned yet.

Brandon watched for a while and then exited. He accidentally saw the media's news about tonight's Evergrowing cocktail party and Joshua Piers's appointment. He casually scrolled down and unexpectedly saw a short video of the party. Opening it, he soon saw Abigail's figure. After about thirty seconds, there was a scene of Benjamin holding Abigail. He immediately recognized it wasn't the dance they had before he left.

So Abigail and Benjamin continued to dance after he left?

He fixed the frame on the moment of Abigail and Benjamin. Whether deliberately or not, the other figures were shot from a distance. Only Abigail and Benjamin were in close-up, capturing Benjamin's loving and tender gaze clearly. It was the look of someone in love.

Brandon had known that Benjamin must like Abigail, but it had never been proven. Seeing the current scene, how could he still not understand?

However, the footage was too brief and did not capture Abigail's expression. He didn't know how she looked at Benjamin, but her body posture showed she was focused.

Brandon's heart sank bit by bit.

Back when Ruby and Johnson kidnapped Abigail, he was immensely stimulated by Johnson's knife and feared Abigail would face similar danger again. In his impulsiveness, he handed Abigail to Benjamin. Although he was prepared for what might happen, he still harbored some hope, thinking he could return to find Abigail after handling everything.

But staring at the frozen frame on the screen, Brandon realized how laughable his hopeful mindset was. Why should Abigail wait for him?

If his prolonged struggle with Joshua dragged on for years, would she still wait?

Especially with Benjamin, an excellent man casting covetous eyes on her.

In an instant, Brandon felt he couldn't stay there any longer. He first called Kelvin Max. “Arrange for Daniel to go to Europe. Ask Alex to assist him. Have Kennan coordinate with Captain Scout to investigate Evergrowing's illegal activities over the years. Have Hughes monitor the Croft family's customs records. If possible, try to hack Joshua's computer and phone. Don't relax surveillance at the prison either.”

“Yes, Second Young Master, rest assured. There won't be any mistakes this time,” Kelvin replied firmly.

Brandon knew this was also Kennan's determination. He responded and continued to instruct, “With Evergrowing's involvement, Adam is unlikely to secure the land in the east of the city. You should have Romeo join the bidding as well.”

“I understand.” Kelvin knew the importance of the eastern city's land for the Piers' future development. Since Joshua wanted to grab it, Adam's chances were slim. This time, whether openly or covertly, there could be no mistakes.

After making the arrangements, Brandon hung up Kelvin's call and dialed Pullan. “Cover my exit from the apartment. You stay with Miss Swift tonight.”

“What about you?” Pullan was worried.

“I have things to do,” Brandon replied and got up to leave Bertha's place.

Pullan, “…”

…
Rose Valley.

Abigail and Benjamin finished their second dance and left the cocktail party. On the way, she chatted with him casually. But upon returning to the villa, her beautiful face immediately dimmed.

Aunt Claudia and Teddy were already asleep. Abigail, leaning against the wall, kicked off her high heels. In the next moment, Threo rushed up to her, barking eagerly at her feet.

Abigail forced a smile at the dog, then dragged her tired body upstairs.

For some reason, although she was weary, she couldn't fall asleep. After taking a shower, she felt even more awake. Her mind was filled with tonight's images of Brandon instinctively protecting her from Joshua, and the look in his eyes when avoiding her questions.

She knew Brandon loved her and had his reasons for his actions. But thinking about him leaving the party with Bertha Swift made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She shook her head vigorously, grabbed her phone, and randomly browsed the news to stop herself from overthinking. Unexpectedly, she saw news about Brandon escorting Bertha home and staying overnight. Her face turned pale instantly. She slammed her phone onto the bed, teeth chattering in anger. “Bran…don…Piers!”
