Janet's eyes went as wide as saucers.
She had many guesses as to why Brandon had suddenly turned cold to her, but she never considered that he might've lost his memory.
It was like a scene straight out of a movie!
"Did the doctor say anything? Can you still recover your memory?" Janet asked anxiously, wringing her hands.
Her hair stood on end as all the seemingly unrelated pieces to the puzzle started coming together. First, she got into a car accident, plummeted into the sea, and ended up trapped on a desert island. Then, Brandon suddenly fell ill and passed out during the search and rescue operations. When he woke up, he had mysteriously lost his memory of the past two years.
And when Janet was stuck on the island, someone had sent hitmen to finish her. When she came back alive, she didn't have the time to think about everything that had happened because of the sudden change in Brandon. Only now did it dawn on her that something was terribly wrong.
Who sent those hitmen after her?
While everything seemed unrelated at first, when Janet thought about everything that happened carefully, a chill ran down her spine.
But she didn't speak her mind right away. Instead, she calmed down first and waited for Brandon to explain.
"The doctor wasn't very helpful. He said that there were many possible reasons behind my memory loss. Charis was the one who told me that I was on the ship with the search and rescue team when I passed out. The next time I woke up, I couldn't remember anything from the past two years. Actually, everything I know about the past two years was taught to me by Charis."
Brandon narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips tightly. "I was worried that my competitors would use my memory loss to their advantage, so I didn't tell anyone about it—including you. I know nothing about our past."
After explaining everything, Brandon fell into a pensive silence.
Janet wanted to tell Brandon everything, especially all the bad things Charis had done to them.
But she couldn't.
Brandon had lost the memory of the past two years. Which meant that he didn't have feelings for her now, let alone trust. Besides, she didn't have any evidence to prove what Charis had done, and Brandon trusted Charis the most right now. After all, she worked as the second in command of Larson Group.
