The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 1049 Secret Document
Jeremy looked at Vivian with a somber expression. Slowly averting his eyes, he produced a document from his briefcase.
The document’s content was shocking. It contained details and research about Brandon’s condition. Vivian went through it
quickly. Suddenly, her eyes stopped moving.
“What is this? When did Brandon lose his memory? Is this some kind of joke?” Vivian didn’t know what to feel or think. She felt
like she was in a dream as a sense of shock came over her. Surely, this must be nothing more than a stupid prank.
Jeremy didn’t respond and continued to hold the same expression. Somehow composing herself again, she flipped through the
rest of the pages. It was true. This was no joke. Her mind started thinking back to the times she had spent with Brandon, trying to
scout clues. Surely, she could have found out through some conversation with him, some small detail he’d have given away...
but no, that wasn’t the case.
“I... I can’t believe it. Brandon hid it so well. He even hid it from Janet! How did you find out?” Jeremy sneered and then said
softly, “Brandon’s condition has consequences for everyone. This document has detailed records, which can easily shake the
whole Larson Group once it’s made public.”
Vivian’s eyes widened at what she had just heard. “No, Larson Group is one of the most powerful companies in Barnes. It cannot
fall down that easily. You are oversimplifying it.”
Jeremy retorted quickly, “No, Vivian. You’re undermining Brandon’s presence in the company. All the partners associated with
Larson Group value him. It is his decision-making and intelligence that have made the company what it is today. But would any
of them continue to trust him now that he is suffering from memory loss and intellectual deterioration?”
Vivian could see his point. It made complete sense to her, which only caused her to feel more flustered and inexplicably anxious.
She had many questions and she still couldn’t wrap her head around the information dropped on her. It was a lot to take in.
Confused, she asked, “How did Brandon get amnesia? He is so young and looks healthy. Besides, how do you know all this?”
Vivian was shaking with restlessness. A myriad of questions arose in her mind.
She didn’t think Jeremy would be so aware of the domestic affairs since he had been abroad all year around.

Other than being her teacher and mentor, did Jeremy have a secret identity she didn’t know about? “I am surprised you don’t.
You really don’t know that it was Charis, who you admired so much, that caused Brandon’s memory loss?” asked Jeremy.
For Vivian, it was another shock. The world seemed to have shifted from beneath her feet. “How could that happen?”
“How could it not? Charis worked so hard to get Brandon. Poisoning him might have been just a piece of cake for her,” Jeremy
said in an indifferent tone.
“That’s impossible!” Vivian shook her head and cried out. She had always seen Charis as a righteous, honest and gentle woman.
All she knew was that Charis was madly in love with Brandon. These accusations of her plotting and scheming were driving
Vivian insane.
“You’re so naive, Vivian,” said Jeremy with a smile. “These are people who have fought their way to the top. You really think
Charis achieved so much with just honesty and hard work? That’s silly. God knows how many people she crushed to climb the
ladder to success. She was no angel like you believe she was!”
Vivian’s hands felt cold. A chill seemed to have gripped her heart. Clenching her wrists, she asked again, “How do you know all
this? How long have you known Charis?”
Jeremy scoffed. “Why should I answer you? There is no difference between you and Charis. Both of you are willing to do literally
everything just to achieve your goal. Instead of gawking at me, you should just do your own job! Save this interrogation for some
other time.”
What was Jeremy implying? His tone was curt and cruel. Was Vivian just a lackey to him?
Vivian was heartbroken and disgusted. At this point, she didn’t even know how to defend herself.
As she kept quiet, Jeremy went on. “Well, that’s all for today. I have a project to work on. I hope you will be more sensible the
next time I see you, Vivian.” Jeremy turned around and hailed a taxi. His job here was done.
Vivian held on to the street lamp post as the taxi disappeared into the distance. She heaved a long sigh, still processing
everything she had heard today about Brandon, Charis and even herself.
It was amusing how suddenly she started seeing everything that was wrong with Charis, when until now she admired her so
much.

A storm seemed to have taken over her thoughts. For a moment, Vivian didn’t know what to do next. Who could she even talk to
about this?
As the sun went down, a glorious gamut of colors painted the sky. The chirping of the birds soon ceased, and a somber silence
encompassed the hospital.
Janet walked into the ward with a lunch box, heading toward Brandon.
“Wow! Look at the size of that box! You really treat your husband differently from your friends. Can Brandon even finish it all? I
seriously doubt it!” A voice came from behind her.
It was dripping with sarcasm. Janet’s face dropped as she turned around to find Derek there. He was holding a fruit basket, a
bag of snacks and a large bouquet of beautiful red roses. Standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, he flashed a bright smile.
“What are you doing here? Is someone in your family in the hospital?” Janet tried to maintain a neutral tone. She had to remind
herself to not lose her calm because Derek had helped her before.
Walking toward her, Derek raised his eyebrows and teased, “Ah, I’m actually here to visit my rival in love.”
