Chapter 714: Waiting for the Nightfall

Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Waiting for the Nightfall

Abigail did not feel anything about Liz Duran’s apology and continued to walk out of the school with the data in her arms.

Even though she could ignore Liz’s words, she couldn’t stop recalling Bertha Swift’s last sentence: Brandon Piers chose her.

Bertha was right. Although she initiated contact with Eva Bell to climb the ranks indirectly, it was not because of Bertha’s skills that she became officially engaged to Master Brandon, but because Brandon Piers chose her.

Huff!

The more Abigail thought about it, the more stifled she felt. She took a deep breath and sat in the car sulkily.

Today, Bertha Swift appeared humble, but her words were like a poison needle piercing Abigail’s heart.

Abigail felt like stabbing Brandon Piers again.

The two stabs last night were not enough at all.

.....

Piers Corporation.

"Achoo..." Brandon Piers was handling business when he suddenly sneezed without warning. He took out a tissue and rubbed his straight nose.

Kelvin Max asked nervously, "Master Brandon, are you okay? Do you need Dr. Morse to come over?"

"No need. I caught a bit of wind last night. It’s nothing serious." Brandon lowered his head and continued to look at the documents.

But Kelvin remained uneasy. "Dr. Morse said your injury was very serious. Do you really not need to rest for a few more days?"

"I know my own body." As Brandon finished speaking, he thought of Abigail changing his bandages last night. A faint smile appeared on his lips, which gave Kelvin goosebumps. Even in such a situation, Master Brandon could still smile?

But Brandon did not notice Kelvin’s feelings at all. After he smiled, he focused on his work again.

Knock... knock knock...

At that moment, there was a listless knock on the door. Brandon called, "Come in," and saw Adam Piers walk in with a dejected look, his lips chapped.

Kelvin asked with concern, "Master Adam, what happened to you...?"

"Oh, got scratched by a cat." Adam waved his hand casually and sat on the leather sofa beside him. "Bro, did you spend the night at Bertha Swift’s place last night?"

Brandon finally looked up at him. "You came just to ask this?"

"Haha, I’m just asking casually." Adam replied awkwardly, feeling particularly uncomfortable. Thinking about Bertha Swift making him so nauseous that he threw up, but then turning around and spending a pleasant night with that monster, why did he feel so annoyed?

"Oh." Brandon easily saw the emotions in Adam’s eyes, his gaze landing on Adam’s lips, remembering the photos he received in the morning. "Fallen for her?"

"What?" Adam thought he heard wrong, looking at Brandon in surprise, then he understood. He shook his head violently. "Impossible! How could I fall for someone like Bertha Swift?"

After saying that, he remembered Bertha Swift was Brandon’s fiancée, and quickly explained, "I don’t mean she’s bad; it’s just that a woman with her nose in the air isn’t my type!"

Brandon listened, staring at Adam intently.

Adam, feeling guilty under Brandon’s gaze, shifted uneasily. "Why are you staring at me like that? I’m telling the truth. But I need to confess something... It was that day... she was on traditional Flowery medicine... and ended up clinging to me. I couldn’t resist... you understand; so if you really marry her, you don’t mind?"

After saying that, Adam looked at Brandon awkwardly. After all, sleeping with his cousin’s fiancée was quite sensational no matter how you looked at it.

He feared not mentioning it now, and when Brandon and Bertha Swift really got married and found out, it would kill him.

"I know." Brandon replied nonchalantly after hearing Adam.

Adam looked at him in shock. "You... You don’t mind?"

"I thought you would mind." Brandon looked at Adam with a meaningful gaze.

Adam felt choked. "Haha, if you don’t mind, how could I mind, haha..."

After a few awkward laughs, Adam couldn’t help asking, "Last night, you two..."

"Nothing happened." As Brandon finished saying this, his expression changed. "How’s your task going?"

Hearing nothing happened, Adam inexplicably felt relieved. But in the next moment, his nerves tensed up, realizing he had work. His tone became serious. "It’s a bit tricky. That piece of land is on a secret tender by the government. Originally, with the Piers’ prestige, just signaling would make other companies hesitate to compete. But now that Evergrowing is involved, it’s more troublesome. The price might go up to ten billion or more."

The crucial part was they didn’t know what price Evergrowing would bid. If they overestimated, they would lose out; if they underestimated, they risked being outbid.

"I’ll give you an eighteen billion budget." Brandon responded simply and bluntly to Adam.

Adam was stunned. "But that land is in the eastern city. Although the government plans to develop it, there’s no specific schedule. The bid started at five billion. Ten billion would already be double. Isn’t eighteen billion too much? Wouldn’t our budget be very tight?"

"Money isn’t the issue. Your goal is to secure that eastern city land. It’s a significant turning point for Piers’ transformation. If we fail, it will be hard to have another chance in the coming years." Brandon looked at Adam seriously.

Adam’s expression became more solemn upon hearing this. Originally, he just wanted to loaf around, but now why place such a heavy burden on him?

But then he thought of Bertha Swift’s disdainful expression, clenched his fist firmly. He was determined to get it done.

When he raised his head again, Adam’s eyes were full of resolute determination. "Bro, give me this task, and I will surely secure it."

"I trust you. Go ahead and do it." Brandon waved at Adam after speaking.

Adam, who had come in dejectedly, went out brimming with confidence.

But after he left, Kelvin couldn’t help stepping forward. "Master Brandon, is it okay for us to deceive Master Adam like this?"

"Who said we were deceiving him? We’re just making two preparations." Brandon looked up coldly at Kelvin.

Kelvin lowered his head. I don’t believe you at all.

"Oh, Master Brandon, we just got word from the Medical University. The young madam was sneered at and mocked by her classmates because of today’s news about you and Miss Swift. She went to Headmaster Theodore’s office and then returned directly to Rose Valley." Kelvin now reported the young madam’s news always cautiously, always finding times when Master Brandon seemed in a good mood.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the man who had a fairly good mood, his expression changed slightly. "She returned directly to Rose Valley? Did she take a leave of absence or withdraw?"

After asking, Brandon felt extremely upset, wishing he could rush to Abigail immediately. He knew she loved campus life a lot, but she had to leave school because of him.

"Neither. Headmaster Theodore invited her to join the Medical University’s research lab, and she asked to only attend the exams." Kelvin quickly responded. For more details, they would need to ask Headmaster Theodore or the young madam herself.

Hearing this, Brandon silently cursed Cameron Theodore. That old man probably had been waiting for Abigail to come to him. Now his wish finally came true, but his little Abigail had been put in a difficult situation...

The more he thought about it, the more guilty Brandon felt. He looked out the window, for the first time, strongly wishing for night to come.
