Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1262

Brandon glanced at Jeremy, frowning slightly.

"There has been a sudden change in the Turner family ever since you ran away from home," Brandon said.

Janet's beautiful eyes narrowed as she asked, "A sudden change?"

Brandon nodded. "Luke fell seriously ill after that, and Catherine desperately tried to seek medical help for him. With no one in charge, the Turner family was in complete chaos."

He continued to explain in a low voice, "At that time, a man named Jeremy Button appeared. Not only did he stabilize the situation in the Turner family, but he also acquired a significant portion of the Turner family's shares. Now, he is the largest shareholder of the Turner family's business."

Janet looked at the man who was surrounded by a group of people and treated with great respect by the members of the Turner family.

"I think he must be Jeremy Button," she said.

Brandon took a sip of red wine, a playful smile lingering on his lips. "The Turner family has almost become his property. This man seems to be very resourceful."

Shocked, Janet couldn't quite process the situation.

The Turner family used to reign over the leading industries in Barnes. Janet could not believe that in the short time she was away from home, things had already gotten so much worse.

She was skeptical about someone pulling strings to cause the downfall of the Turner family.

Tilting her head, Janet looked at Brandon questioningly and asked, "Did you have anything to do with this?"

Brandon raised his brows and flashed a contemptuous smile. "I won't bother doing anything behind the scene for the measly Turner family."

Although Janet was now sure that Brandon did not have anything to do with the Turner family's affairs, she couldn't help feeling an hint of unease in her heart ever since she met Jeremy. She sensed that something bad would happen.

Janet pondered for a while and said, "But I have a feeling that this Jeremy is very suspicious."

She had never heard of such a figure in Barnes before, so where did this Jeremy come from and how did he quickly take over the Turner family?

Janet's tone became serious all of a sudden as she said, "This guy just gives me the creeps. Was the cake thing really just a coincidence?"

After all the perilous situations that she and Brandon had been through, she was naturally more cautious now. She was afraid that someone else might show up out of the blue to cause trouble.
