NO ADOPTION RECORD?
“Sir, we found something about Brandon Callaghan.”George lifted his eyes from the documents on his desk. He had been waiting for this report since he ordered the investigation, but judging from the serious look on his man's face, there was more to it than a simple family record.“What did you find?”The man placed a file on the desk and opened it. “We checked Brandon's family records, his childhood information and the available records connected to the Callaghan family. There's something unusual.”George picked up the first document. “What is it?”“Brandon doesn't appear to be Lily and Samuel Callaghan's biological son.”George's hand stopped over the page.“What do you mean?”“We couldn't find a birth record connecting him to either Lily or Samuel. We checked the available records from the period when Brandon was born, but there is nothing that identifies him as their biological child.”George frowned as he turned another page. “Could the records simply be incomplete?”“We considere
THEN DON'T
“You don't have to pretend that everything is okay just because I'm here.”Brandon paused with his fork halfway to his mouth and glanced at Victoria. The food Laura had sent was still spread across the table, and they had barely touched most of it. After everything that had happened outside, he had gone quiet, but he wasn't angry anymore.“I’m not pretending,” Brandon admitted as he placed the fork back on his plate. “I'm just tired of having the same argument with someone who refuses to accept that it's over.”Victoria watched him for a moment before picking up a piece of food from her plate. “Is it Lyra's words that bother you, or is it the fact that she keeps making you bring Maggie into everything?”“That bothers me more than anything else,” Brandon murmured, a hint of sadness in his voice. “She can say whatever she wants about me. I stopped caring about that a long time ago. But whenever she tries to make herself look like the victim, she brings Maggie into it. I don't understand
I NEVER WANTED ANY OF THIS
Brandon stopped in his way and turned toward her. “You're here without an appointment, Ms. Lyra. That's the only reason you're being stopped.”“I brought food for you,” Lyra reminded him as she lifted the container. “I even cooked it myself because I was worried you might not have eaten. If you're saying I came here without an appointment, then isn't Victoria here for the same reason?”Brandon glanced at the container before turning his attention back to the project. “I think they already told you that you can leave it with security if you want, but don't expect me to eat it or show you any gratitude for bringing it.”Lyra's face changed at his indifferent response. “That's all you have to say?”“I have work to do.”Victoria remained beside him, holding the food she had brought. Lyra's frustration finally spilled over.“You really have no shame, do you?” Lyra accused her as she pointed toward Victoria. “You stole another woman's husband, and now you're following him around everywhere.
DO YOU REALLY HATE TO SEE ME?
“Mr. Collin, the materials for the eastern section have arrived, but I want them checked before anyone starts using them.”Brandon stood beside the project plans with his sleeves rolled up, comparing the delivery report with the quantities listed in the contract. Collin stood beside him with a tablet in hand while several workers waited nearby for instructions.“I'll have the team verify everything before we move the materials inside,” Collin confirmed as he checked the delivery details. “The supplier claims everything matches the order.”“Claims aren't enough,” Brandon responded while pointing toward the figures on the report. “We've already had problems with suppliers trying to hide shortages in the previous batches. Check the quantity, quality, and invoice before approving anything.”Collin nodded and turned toward one of the supervisors. “Take two people with you and inspect the entire delivery before it enters the storage area.”The supervisor immediately walked toward the trucks
I'M CERTAIN ABOUT THE NAME
“Is there any specific reason you called me here, Mr. and Mrs. Ashford?” George asked curiously as he settled into the chair. He had been invited to the Ashford residence without any prior notice, and the sudden request for a private conversation had left him wondering what was going on. Rumors had also been circulating through high society about Victoria introducing her boyfriend at a recent event, making him even more curious about the reason behind the meeting.“George, we need to talk to you about the engagement,” David began as he motioned for him to take a seat. “We are planning to reconsider the engagement arrangement.”George glanced between David and Laura, noticing the seriousness in their expressions. “Is something wrong?”Laura sat beside her husband and folded her hands in her lap. “Nothing is wrong, but we've made a decision about your engagement with Victoria.”George remained quiet for a moment before responding, “What decision have you made?”“We've decided to cance
DO YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE STAR?
“Finally, I'm home after such a messy and troublesome day!”Brandon closed the apartment door behind him and placed his keys on the small table near the entrance. He loosened his tie as he walked farther inside, already thinking about getting some food and going through the documents Norway had given him.The apartment was quiet, and he preferred it that way. After spending most of the day dealing with business problems, he wanted an ordinary evening without meetings, questions, or people expecting something from him.He took a few steps toward the living room before something near the window caught his attention.Brandon stopped.A telescope stood beside the window.He walked over and stared at it for a moment, remembering the day Victoria had given it to him as a gift after registering a star under Maggie's name.Brandon adjusted the telescope and tried to remember Victoria's instructions. It took him a few attempts to position it properly, but eventually, he managed to get it worki
