Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 682

Brandon lowered his head and mulled over what Charts said.

He had always known that Charts liked him, but he didn't expect her to risk her life for him. He was at a loss. He knew better than anyone else that he couldn't give her what she wanted.

Looking at the two people who had fallen quiet, Janet smiled slightly. "Miss Turner, how come you've suddenly become so reckless? That's not like you. After all, compared to Brandon, you're not as strong. What's the use in rushing into a burning building to save him? I thought you were smarter than that. Unless there's another, unspeakable reason as to why you did it?"

Janet's voice was soft and gentle, but her eyes were sharper than a knife, leaving Charts no place to hide.

Charts was always proud of her intelligence. What she couldn't stand was when others called her stupid. Not to mention how much she already hated Janet. At this moment, her boiling anger had reached its peak.

But Brandon was there. No matter how much resentment Charts had in her heart, she had to bury it for the time being.

She gritted her teeth so tightly that she felt a dull pain on her burned face.

After taking a few deep breaths, Charts asked stiffly, "What sort of unspeakable reason can I have? I've known Brandon since we were young.

We've been friends for years. Of course I'd rush in and save him. Besides, I'm very familiar with the layout of that haunted house. I was sure I could help Brandon in such a critical moment."

Janet's brow shot up and her eyes gleamed mischievously. "Oh? Why would you be so familiar with the layout of a haunted house in an amusement park? Miss Turner, given your status and personality, I doubt you'd go to a place like that for pleasure, am I right?"

Charis was stunned speechless.

She stole a glance at Brandon and found that he was also staring at her intently.

It was indeed a bit suspicious. After pausing for a moment, Charis came up with an excuse. "Didn't I tell you before that I planned to throw a Halloween party for my employees? Of course Ilearnedallaboutthehauntedhousebeforehand."
