Riley’s eyes narrowed sharply Her fingers tightened around her water cup instantly, and her heart was filled with great shock.

How did he find out the truth?

Brandon had extensive connections, so it was never hard for him to dig up att kinds of information.

Right after they returned from Cedar Creek, he started doubting Riley’s real identity. He soon sent people to look into her background, and accidentally found out she was the long–lost young heiress of the Harper family in Nexopolis.

This was probably his real motive for choosing to help Riley back then.

Whether he found her interesting or valued the powerful influence behind her, he definitely had his own plans and intentions.

Before Riley could calm down from the shock, Sebastian asked in a frigid voice, “What kind of cooperation do you want?”

His whole demeanor turned freezing cold, and he made no effort to hide the sharp dislike in his eyes when looking at Brandon.

Brandon seemed totally unaware of that bone–chilling stare. He glanced between the two of them with a playful look, grinning. “Calm down first, Mr. Torres. Before we talk about anything else, you two need to tell me clearly–what is your exact relationship now?”

This question put Brandon back in full control of the conversation.

Riley frowned.

I haven’t told our parents about our marriage yet. It’s really not the right time to make it public.

She steadied her mind and answered under Brandon’s curious gaze, “As you can see, we are just boyfriend and girlfriend.”

Hearing this, a bright smile spread across Brandon’s face at once.

Brandon drew out his tone on purpose. “Oh? Just boyfriend and girlfriend, not married yet?”

His sight swept past Riley and landed firmly on Sebastian, whose face had turned utterly gloomy. He said every single word distinctly, “That means I still have a chance to pursue you.”

To say such words when he clearly knew she had a partner was nothing but open provocation.

Sebastian was truly enraged this time.

The cold air around him turned into obvious fierce hostility in an instant.

He fixed his deep eyes firmly on the innocent–looking man opposite him and forced out the words through clenched teeth. “No chance at all. Stop daydreaming.”

Brandon still paid no heed to his intimidating aura and kept smiling softly at Riley. He retorted casually, “I’m asking Ms. Harper, not you, Mr. Torres. Why are you getting so upset?”

Riley was stunned for a second by his strange way of thinking.

She could barely keep up with his bold and aggressive train of thought.

After She came back to her senses, she said seriously, “There is no such possibility, Mr. Edwards. If you really want to discuss cooperation, please stop saying things like this. It will only bring me trouble.”

“Well…” Brandon dimmed his smile a little, looking slightly disappointed, yet he changed the topic extremely quickly. “Fine then. I’ve heard the Harper Group is preparing a large–scale new energy development project recently–can I join in?”

Such a sudden topic shift was far more surprising than his previous provocation.

Riley knitted her brows tightly.

I know absolutely nothing about this project myself.

Where did Brandon get this news?

Did he place informants inside the Harper Group?

Or is he just using vague rumors to test my actual status and right to speak in the family?

Just as everyone had heard, Brandon appeared lazy and unrestrained on the surface, but in fact, he planned every move carefully and hid deep thoughts in his heart.
