Behind him, Vivian crossed her arms over her chest and muttered something under her breath.
“Hypocrite.”
It was also thanks to Charis that the Larson Group had come so far. But Brandon never mentioned her.
The bastard even thanked Garrett, who had already volunteered to quit the company, yet not once did he utter Charis’ name.
Charis had done nothing to harm the company’s interest, but she had somehow become a stain to its reputation, one that wasn’t even worth acknowledging.
Vivian’s hands balled into fists.She gritted her teeth so hard that her lips turned pale.
“Vivian,” a colleague nudged her side, pulling her back from her reverie.
“Mr.Larson has finished his speech.”
Brandon offered a sincere bow to the audience and turned his gaze toward the huge screen display.
“Now, please direct your attention to the screen.I will be showing you what is next for the Larson Group, the plans I’ve made for our future.”
Vivian lowered her head to hide the cunning smile that curled on her lips.She had made plans of her own.
Instead of business plans and proposals, the screen was about to show Brandon’s medical records.
She couldn’t wait for the display to turn on, and the pandemonium that she was sure would follow.
“Mr.Larson has finished his speech.”
When the music began, however, the invitation to the Larson Group’s anniversary party appeared on the big screen!
“How could it be the invitation to the Larson Group’s fifth anniversary party?”
Vivian’s eyes widened in shock.She had double-checked the information to make sure that everything was in order.
The audience was also surprised by what they saw on the big screen.
People started whispering.
“What does Mr.Larson mean?”
Brandon, on the other hand, did not change his expression.He simply stared at them.
After the initial shock, Vivian regained her composure.She carefully looked up the stage and noticed Brandon’s dismissive gaze.Her heart beat faster.
Brandon spoke calmly to explain the invitation.
“We wish to invite everyone present to the Larson Group’s anniversary party.It is our way of welcoming you to join us to the celebration and witness the Larson Group’s growth.”
Liam Lewis, who had earned a lot of attention, was moved and applauded loudly.
“Do you think Mr.Larson thinks highly of my performance, Mr.Harding?”
Liam couldn’t help but ask Garrett.
“He even made such a significant announcement at our cooperative project’s press conference.”
Garrett was also applauding.
“Perhaps,” he said with a smile as he looked up and down at Liam.
Vivian calmed down, lowered the microphone, and fired the pre- programed ribbon spray.
The colorful ribbons soaring through the air drew everyone’s attention Vivian then instructed the staff to distribute the gifts to the guests.
A coworker saw that Vivian was leaving.She asked her curiously, “Are you going somewhere?”
“I’ll have to pick up some documents from Mr.Larson’s office,” Vivian said casually.
The cover of colorful ribbons and excited employees made the venue very lively.
Vivian dashed through the crowd.She ran to the stairs and out into the parking lot.She slowed down and looked back.She tried to catch her breath after realizing no one had followed her.
The events of the day had shown her that she had been completely exposed.
But how did Brandon learn about her revenge plan? Everything had been in order.She had meticulously considered every detail in the plan.
Yet, all along, Brandon knew what was going to happen and was prepared for it.
When did he become suspicious of her? Vivian couldn’t put her finger on what went wrong.
Vivian took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Luckily, she had planned an escape route in case her revenge plan failed.
There was a bag hidden in her car, which contained some cash and a fake ID card.She could still get away, but leaving Bames might be a little difficult right now.She was terrified of meeting Brandon’s men.
Vivian needed someone’s assistance, and she immediately thought of the all-powerful Jeremy.She called Jeremy right away.
When Jeremy heard the worried voice on the phone, he didn’t seem surprised.
“Why do you call me at this hour?” he asked, a faint smile on his face.
Vivian was direct and to the point.
“Jeremy, please do me a favor.I need to leave Barnes right now.”
Jeremy pretended to be confused.
“I’ve watched the live broadcast of the Larson Group’s press conference today and it looks like it’s going well.Why do you want to run away?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t understand! You do! My plan failed, and Brandon won’t let me go!” Vivian said through gritted teeth.
“You don’t have much time.” Jeremy sneered as he looked at his watch.
His voice sounded casual and even a bit cheerful, which did nothing to calm Vivian’s nerves.
Vivian bit her bottom lip.
Jeremy’s tone suggested that he had given up on her.
Vivian, on the other hand, was adamant.
“Jeremy, please help me! Give me another chance.I can still help you!” she pleaded, swallowing her resentment and anger.
“There’s no more chance for you,” Jeremy said flatly.

“Do you think you’ve fallen into Brandon’s trap because you’re careless? No. He made such a scene today just to catch you.”
Vivian was surprised.
Jeremy seemed to know Brandon rather well.
Despite the fact that he wasn’t part of the Larson Group, he seemed to know clearly how the situation was developing.She felt a shiver run up her spine.
Vivian clenched her fists and wished she could get another chance.
Jeremy interrupted her.
“There’s no doubt you’ll be caught by Brandon, and he’ll question you about who’s behind it,” Jeremy predicted.
“Even if you give me away, I can still get away with it,” he cautioned.
“So, Vivian, you’d better be wise.
Keep your mouth shut.
Remember the friendship we formed as teacher and student over the years.”
Vivian felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped on her.
“Are you not going to save me?” she cried, her voice shaking.
“If I save you, I will definitely expose myself,” Jeremy said, his tone relaxed.
“Give up, Vivian. You’re doomed.”
Keep your mouth
Vivian’s heart trembled violently.She was so flustered that she couldn’t speak properly.
