Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1071

"If there is nothing else, I'm hanging up. It's already late so I need to get home." The woman almost ended the call but Vivian stopped her before she could hang up.

"Hold on a second. Did you notice anything suspicious around the restaurant? Like, people lurking around. Did anyone try to catch you?" If Janet wasn't the one who plotted it, then maybe Brandon was behind the plan, Vivian thought.

Confusion was obvious in the woman's voice. "It's already very late when I went to the restaurant to inquire just like you told me. The place was almost deserted except for some crazed drunk outside."

"Okay." Vivian breathed a sigh of relief the moment the call ended. She relaxed her back on the sofa.

A smile suddenly appeared on her lips as she stared at the white ceiling. Perhaps she was overthinking it. She got scared over nothing tonight.

Ever since Jeremy came back, Vivian had been restless. She had been on high alert. The waitress today probably just resembled the woman who had been pushed down the stairs before.

As for Janet, she didn't have to be afraid of her. What Vivian had to focus on now was keeping an eye on Brandon. She wanted her revenge but she had to be careful. She would leave Barnes and stay away from Jeremy as soon as she was done.

Jeremy's appearance made Vivian panic. Luke and Catherine had been out of the country for so long too and they were already planning coming back soon. All these were making her plans riskier.

With this in mind, Vivian decided to speed up her

plan. Good thing the project between the Larson Group and the partners was successful. Brandon just told her about a press conference the Larson Group would be holding in a few days.

Reporters would flock to the event and many people involved in the project would be there. It was an excellent opportunity.

Vivian wasn't expecting Brandon would get discharged from the hospital earlier, which greatly undermined her plan to spread the rumors of Brandon being terminally ill. This time, Vivian was ready to take the risk. She would let the public know about Brandon's illness and the press conference was the perfect chance.

She had credible evidence. With the number of big companies attending the press conference, Brandon wouldn't be able to keep his secret for long. The Larson Group would surely crumble this time.
