Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1052

"It's a snake pit with the Turner Group." Brandon put the document on the table and his eyes hardened like steel.

Derek's eyes sparkled with curiosity as he asked, "Are the Turners the ones pulling the strings against Janet before?"

This was Derek's educated guess. Last time, while they were in danger, he had asked Janet about it. At that time, Janet had told him that she would reveal all when they were out of danger. He smiled bitterly and thought that perhaps he would never have the chance to know the truth even though they were both safe and sound now.

"This is between us and the Turners. Stop stressing about it." Brandon didn't want to drag Derek into the quagmire.

Derek said arrogantly, "Do I really look like I need to know?"

Then he stormed out of the room. Before opening the door, he couldn't help but glance back. "I won't tell a soul. Don't worry."

At that moment, Brandon suddenly stopped him. "Your information is a goldmine for us. Name your price and I'll have my assistant transfer the funds to your account."

Derek sniffed disdainfully and looked back. "Do you think I'm a beggar? I was not in this for the money. That stupid murderer almost killed me. I can't just let that go."

Brandon's eyes grew darker, a frown marring his face. "Do you need me to say something to Janet?" he asked, knowing the power of his words.

Derek was caught off guard by the question. After a moment of contemplation, he lowered his eyes and said, "Help me take good care of her. I don't want to see her get hurt again."

"She is my wife, and she's mine to worry about. So just mind your own business," Brandon replied, with a hint of possessiveness, marking his territory.

Derek was livid at the response. He glared at Brandon, gnashed his teeth, and spat out, "Then why did you ask me if I had something to tell her? You were just messing with me."

The two men in the room were like oil and water, but the two women outside the room couldn't stop laughing.

"Is Derek really that clueless?" Gilda grinned from ear to ear as she listened to Janet talking about Derek.

At first, when Janet saw Gilda, she thought she was a shy and quiet woman, but she quickly realized that Gilda was actually a chatterbox.

She couldn't understand why such a wonderful girl would want to date a player like Derek.

Janet couldn't help but ask, "For how long have you known Derek?

You were both models, so you must have been old acquaintances," she added, trying to make sense of the situation.
