My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: My Woman, No One Has the Right to Order Her Around

Brandon Jacobs hung up and rolled over, intending to go back to sleep, but suddenly found he was wide awake.

Remembering it had been a few days since he’d spoken with Damien Vaughn, he smirked, deciding to mess with him a little.

In the CEO’s office at the Vaughn Group, Damien Vaughn was at work. When he saw the call was from Brandon Jacobs, he answered it casually.

He continued to look over a document as he asked, "What’s up?"

"Vaughn, what are you doing?"

Damien Vaughn could tell from Brandon Jacobs’s voice that he had just woken up, and he replied irritably.

"Working. You think everyone is like you, making money just by lying around all day?"

"Is there something, President Jacobs? If you have something to say, say it. If not, go back to sleep. I don’t have time to banter with you."

It just goes to show you that people have a bit of a masochistic streak. Brandon Jacobs was always surrounded by people who pandered to and praised him, and after a while, he found it boring. He actually enjoyed these sharp retorts from Damien Vaughn.

"Heh heh. After all our years of friendship, I can’t just call you for a chat? I’m telling you, Vaughn, that’s not cool of you. First, you quietly got together with that other woman, and if she hadn’t shown up at the club to cause a scene, I’d still be in the dark. Now you have a new girlfriend, and you’re hiding her too?"

"Do you have no confidence in yourself, afraid I’ll steal her if you go public? Or do you just enjoy being so secretive?"

The hand Damien Vaughn was using to flip through his documents paused. "I have a new girlfriend? Who told you that?"

"Don’t worry about who told me, just tell me if it’s true. I remember you were single just a few days ago—I was about to introduce you to my cousin. How could you suddenly..."

Damien Vaughn understood. "Annabelle Young told you? Why would she be telling you about this so early in the morning?"

Brandon Jacobs had been groggy and was just trying to joke around, but what Damien Vaughn said jolted him awake.

Clutching his phone, he shot up in bed.

"Holy shit! It’s for real? No way, Vaughn, you really have a new girlfriend? A woman you’ve known for years, with a kid who’s already several years old? How did I know nothing about this? Damn it, who is she? If it’s been that many years, why haven’t you brought her home? You don’t think much of her, but you don’t think much of your own kid either? If that’s the case, why did you suddenly bring them back home?"

"Damn, that’s a lot to take in! Vaughn, what the hell is going on? Keeping me in the dark like this—do you even consider me your brother?"

Damien Vaughn knew it. With Brandon’s love for gossip, telling him even a little would make him blow things way out of proportion.

He was in no mood to explain everything to Brandon Jacobs, so he asked in a low voice.

"How does Annabelle Young know? Who told her? Where is she now?"

When Annabelle Young first met Cecelia Archer, there was nothing going on between him and Cecelia.

The reason Annabelle Young went to the hospital to see Candy, befriended Cecelia Archer, and helped her find a job—it was painfully obvious what her motives were.

Now that her goal hadn’t been met and she was instead watching something blossom between him and Cecelia, how could Annabelle possibly be pleasant to her?

Damien Vaughn’s tone was so cold and sharp that Brandon Jacobs had no choice but to answer.

"She’s at your family’s house. Apparently, she heard it from your Second Aunt. She didn’t believe it, so she called to ask me, and I fucking thought..."

BEEP BEEP BEEP... Damien Vaughn had hung up.

"Ryan!"

Ryan rushed in. "President Vaughn, you called for me?"

"Is Annabelle Young’s number in that phone of mine?"

"Yes, President Vaughn. Do you need something from her? Should you contact her personally, or shall I?"
