When Derrick was secretly putting his plan into motion, Brandon and his parents had already been on the military base for three days. They had t Nicolette’s family and discussed the welding.
Nicolette would need so ti to apply for leave and file a marriage report too. Therefore, the trio returned to Rosemont City to prepare for the wedding.
The wedding venue was set in the back garden of V Resort.
On the day of the wedding, the back door and back garden of the hotel would be sealed. Other than the guests, security guards, and service staff, no one was allowed to enter.
This would also require a few days to prepare..
In the past few days, news of Brandon’s marriage had also spread throughout the city. However, no one received the Carter family’s invitation.
When asked for an invitation, the Carter family said, "Only family mbers of both sides will attend the wedding. We won’t be inviting anyone else,"
Such a low-key and mysterious wedding filled everyone with curiosity and speculation.
Soone exclaid, Jaden and Luna got married on National Day last year, Mr. Moran proposed to Avery last month. and now Brandon is getting married this month. At this rate, Zayn will be next to marry, right?" Soone was puzzled. "The Carter family is so famous, but no one knows who Brandon’s fiancée is. Isn’t this odd?"
Soone mocked, "What’s so strange about that? Brandon’s first girlfriend was the daughter of the Randolph family, and his second girlfriend was the daughter of the Dudley family."
"He just broke up with the Dudley family’s daughter and imdiately married soone else. The woman must have an insignificant background."
"Perhaps she’s his mistress and got pregnant. That’s why they refuse to reveal who she is."
Soone sighed, "The children of the Carter family are all so handso and beautiful Moreover, they are successful. Of course, many people would want to marry them."
Brandon did not care what everyone thought. He took a week off to focus on preparing for the wedding.
However, he didn’t expect to be stopped when he left the V Resort. The woman had obviously been waiting for him for
a long ti. When she saw him, her eyes turned red and she called out softly, "Brandon.. "
Brandon was stunned for a few seconds before he rembered who she was. He said indifferently. "It’s you. Why are you looking for ?"
Laney had her hair cut to her ears and wore bangs. Without makeup, she looked like a university student. She appeared innocent. It was impossible to tell that she was almost 30 years old.
"Brandon, I heard that you’re getting married. Is this true?" she asked in a choked voice.
"That’s right." Brandon was no longer as prickly as before and appeared much calr now. "I’ve been preparing for the wedding recently and am very busy. I don’t have ti to chat with you. If you have anything to say, just say it." Laney bit her lips, finding it hard to speak.
Brandon looked at the ti. Since you can’t, don’t talk then. I’m in a hurry."
"Brandon"" Laney grabbed his sleeve. There were tears in her eyes. "You can tell, right? I still love you. I want to get back together with you. Can you give another chance" Brandon was a little surprised. "Lancy, what nonsense are you spouting! It’s over between us a long ti ago. There’s no way we can reconcile, let alone be friends. "Don’t ever say such things to again. Otherwise, I won’t even see you."
After that, he pulled his sleeve out of Laney’s hand.
"Brandon, do you still hate ? Laney trembled, looking frail. She stood before him, sobbing. "After all, I humiliated and hurt you back then."
"I don’t hate you. I’ve never hated you." Perhaps because Brandon felt at ease and secure due to his upcoming marriage, he could face the past calmly. "You’ve never betrayed or hurt "
"Back then, you were just too weak and powerless to resist your family. You might have suffered as much as , so I once hated your family to the core, but I never hated you"
"Then, can we still be together?" Laney’s eyes lit up with hope. "You’re about to get married, but you didn’t announce your fiancée’s identity, nor did you invite any guests besides family. "Your wedding is even held in such a hurry. It’s enough to show that you don’t have any feelings for your fiancee"
"You’re wrong," Brandon interrupted gently, "My wife is very outstanding. Not only do I have feelings for her, but I also deeply respect and even admire her. She’s the most amazing woman I’ve ever t. "It’s precisely because she’s too precious that I don’t want anyone to disturb her. So, Laney, don’t have any illusions about . I will never get back together with you."
"but I still love you." Tears stread down Laney’s face. "All these years, no matter how I try, I can’t forget you. I can’t fall in love with another man."
Seeing that Brandon wanted to speak again, she grabbed his arm and cried, "My family knows their mistake too. They are willing to apologize to you for what happened back then and accept you."
"The obstacles that once forced us to break up no longer exist. We can be together now. Brandon, think about the ti we spent together. It was so beautiful. I don’t believe you can forget those tis."
Her words were sincere. Others would definitely be moved when they saw her. However, Brandon’s face turned cold and slightly sinister.
"Laney, your family sent you, didn’t they?" he said bluntly. "The Randolph family has poured a lot of money into real estate in recent years, but with the constant collapses in the market, they have suffered heavy losses."
"Their primary pharmaceutical business was also hit with a fake drug scandal, causing their stock to plumt. Their pharmacies, hospitals, and dical equipnt divisions have all been affected, leading to significant losses. "And then there’s your brother-diocre in ability yet thinks the world of himself. He promoted only his close allies and did things his way."
"This has left the Randolph Group in disarray, with internal morale collapsing and managent in chaos, further accelerating the company’s decline."
"The Randolph family really needs investnt and support now so they targeted the Carter family and sent you to get back together with "
He looked straight at Laney with deep disappointnt in his eyes. "I used to think that at least you were different from your family. I didn’t expect you to use our past relationship to benefit your family."
"It’s not like that!" Laney cried, "It’s true that my family wants to get back together with you because of those reasons, but I want to reconcile with you because I still love you."
When her family asked her to get back together with Brandon for the family’s benefit, she cried with joy.
She did not care how the family business was doing, but it was great that her family had agreed to let her be with Brandon.
"But it’s useless." Brandon pulled his hand away forcefully and stepped back. "Eight years ago, after your family humiliated and beat in public and chased out, there was no longer any possibility between us."
"Go back and tell your father and brother not to harbor any ideas about again. Otherwise, I will definitely take revenge and make things worse for the Randolph family."
With that, he strode away, got into the car whose door the driver had already opened, and left.
