Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1326

Worry creased Janet's delicate brows. "Is it prudent to probe into the affairs of those around Vivi so openly? I'm concerned it might backfire and provide the puppeteer pulling the strings another leverage point against us."

Brandon's dogged pursuit of the person orchestrating their troubles had drawn considerable attention. This alarmed Janet, as she was apprehensive that the hidden instigator might exploit the situation to intensify their aggressive tactics.

Yet Brandon simply stretched out his hand, tousling her hair, his tone both gentle and resolute. "Your safety remains my paramount concern. Regardless of the ensuing events, I must uncover the identity of the perpetrator behind the car accident to ensure your protection. The most critical task for me now is safeguarding you."

His assessment of the situation suggested that the individual responsible for Vivi's demise was merciless and decisive, demonstrating a blatant disregard for human life—a characteristic reminiscent of both Charis and Vivian.

The mystery might also involve the shadowy pharmacist associated with the pair.

If that were the case, the potential danger surrounding Janet would only intensify.

He was compelled to expedite his investigation and eradicate any potential threats lurking near Janet, aiming to thwart any possible menace in its inception.

However, he chose not to disclose these concerns to

Janet, so as not to cause her undue worry.

Janet's frantic heartbeat slowly steadied, soothed by the man's robust and reassuring voice.

She wrapped her arms around Brandon, breathing in his familiar scent, and declared with conviction, "I trust you. With you by my side, I have nothing to fear."

In the midst of their conversation, Janet's phone abruptly rang.

The incoming call was from an unknown number.

Janet and Brandon exchanged glances, his gentle nod signaling her not to worry.

Taking a deep breath, Janet accepted the call.

A vaguely familiar female voice greeted her. "Hello, Miss White."
