Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1065

Brandon glanced at Sean behind him with the suitcase in tow and said to the two men in front of him, "Sorry, the flight got delayed."

Liam put on a flattering smile and explained, "There was a slight misunderstanding just now. We heard a rumor that you were in hospital, so we didn't sign the contract."

Brandon raised his eyebrows at Liam and asked, "What rumor?"

Gifford hesitated at first but eventually told Brandon what he had heard. "Here's the thing. A few days ago, a photo of you in the hospital circulated on the Internet. Rumor had it you had a serious brain tumor and that you were looking for a neurologist. What was more, your parents-in-law were said to be helping you find the best doctors in the world."

"That's fake news," Brandon denied expressionlessly. "But I understand your concerns. If you wish to terminate the cooperation, I won't stop you."

Gifford immediately regretted doubting Brandon. Numerous companies were eager to cooperate with the Larson Group. How could he let a groundless rumor cost the hard-won cooperation?

Suddenly, something occurred on Gifford. He pointed his finger at Vivian and concluded, "You knew that Mr. Larson was on a business trip. And yet, you didn't tell us the truth. You wanted to sabotage this cooperation, didn't you?"

Everyone's gazes fell on Vivian.

"That makes sense. When Mr. Lewis and Mr. Cruz threatened to leave, Vivian didn't stop them. Could

it be that she..." an employee conjectured.

"What did you expect? She's a member of the Turner family and the one in charge of the Turner Group. How could she truly side with the Larson Group?" another queried.

"Could it be that Vivian went to this company for a reason?"

The employees all stared at Vivian with apparent disgust. Most of them doubted her capabilities. After all, she was already in a high position at such a young age. No wonder she was not liked by everyone. She was enviable.

Meanwhile, Vivian was at a loss for words and could only stand there in embarrassment. What they had said was partly true. She indeed did not stop them from leaving. The thing was, the people she had arranged at the gate of the hospital did not inform her that Brandon had been discharged. She would not have acted like this otherwise.
