Chapter 68 Brandon Gets Drunk

Brianna didn’t want to call Brandon.

She kept dragging her feet until the funding party was right around the corner,

There was no way out anymore.

Brianna dialed Brandon’s number.

Brandon answered the call, his voice as cold as ever. “Hello?”

Brianna hesitated, then said, “Um, our company is holding a new product launch this Friday afternoon. And that evening, there’s a funding party.”

Brianna’s voice sounded unsure.

She wasn’t used to asking Brandon for favors.

“Do you think you could come?” she asked.

“I’m on a business trip,” Brandon explained.

“Alright, got it,” Brianna replied.

‘Guess he doesn’t want to help, Brianna thought to herself.

She was about to hang up.

But Brandon spoke up again.

He said, “I can’t make it to the event in the afternoon, but I’ll be there for the party tonight. Just send me the time and location.”

Brianna couldn’t help but smile.

“Alright, thanks,” she said.

After hanging up, she sent Brandon the time and location of the party.

She sent Brandon the time and location of the party.

Then she got busy putting together her pitch deck.

Soon enough, it was time for the new product launch.

Brianna showed up at the hotel conference room early.

The weather was finally starting to warm up, but Brianna still felt chilly and weak.

But she still felt chilly and frail.

She wore a dark green velvet suit, with two cashmere sweaters underneath for warmth.

She had two cashmere sweaters on underneath for extra warmth.

She even stuck heat pads to her waist and legs.

Only then did she manage to feel somewhat warm.

Tristan arrived at the entrance of the venue.

From afar, he caught sight of Brianna’s fragile silhouette.

His heart ached for her.

‘Is she really this skinny now?’ Tristan wondered.

Gradually, the invited guests started to arrive.

They were all big shots from Klamdiff’s elite circles.

Everyone showed up just to curry favor with the Levy and Pratt families.

But Brianna was still a bundle of nerves.

She felt like a nervous daughter-in-law about to face her in-laws, dreading their judgment.

Backstage, she went over her presentation once more.

Patsy walked in, frowning

She said, “Your Mr. Levy still hasn’t shown up. Should we give him a nudge? A lot of people are only here because of him.”

Brianna explained, “He’s out of town on business. He’ll only be here for the party tonight.”

Patsy nodded, reminding Brianna to stay calm.

With that, she turned and walked out.

Patsy and Tristan were busy welcoming the guests.

Brianna kept telling herself to stay calm.

When the event finally started, Brianna stepped onto the stage, looking confident and composed.

Applause filled the room.

At this event, they unveiled the “Thorn” collection.

Brianna shared the story behind her design concept.

The collection came in two lines.

One was the business line, crafted with standard gemstones.

The other was the bespoke luxury line, featuring custom-made high-end jewelry.

When it came to her craft, Brianna was in her element.

She practically stole the spotlight, glowing with confidence.

She introduced the products with poise, not a hint of nervousness.

Then she talked to the guests about what drives the company and the inspiration behind her designs. When she wrapped up her presentation, the crowd broke into applause again.

Patsy stepped up to the stage.

She gave everyone a professional overview of how the company has been doing ever since it started.

She also shared how the company has grown and where it’s headed next.

Brianna sat in the audience, listening intently.

Seeing Patsy so professional up there, Brianna felt a surge of pride for her.

She was also filled with gratitude toward Patsy.

When the launch wrapped up, everyone got up and headed to the party hall.

The crowd moved toward the party hall.

Brianna was making small talk with a few of the well-connected ladies she knew well.

A bright, cheerful voice called out. “Brianna.”

Brianna paused, then turned around.

Darcy and her family showed up!

Darcy was dressed in a pale pink dress.

She had a white shawl draped over her shoulders.

Her hair was styled up, revealing her long, fair and slender neck.

r

She looked so aloof and ethereal, almost untouchable, like a noble lady from a bygone era, untouched by worldly concerns.

Blanca was dressed in a black dress.

She was decked out in dazzling jewelry.

Brianna didn’t respond.

She quietly watched them.

Neither Patsy nor Tristan would ever invite them.

Brianna couldn’t help but wonder, ‘What are they doing here?’

Darcy called out, “I absolutely adore your designs! I’ve got a big event coming up pretty soon. Can I wear something from your high-end collection?”

Darcy was being adorably clingy.

Brianna felt a wave of nausea rise up inside her.

She wanted to leave, but with so many people around, slipping away wasn’t an option.

She couldn’t risk causing a public fallout.

Brianna gave a stiff fake amile. “Oh’

cathe in think of 4.this collection only existed because of Darcy

It was all thanks to her

And now she shamelessly pretended they were the best of sisters.

Whitney put on his best doting dad act.

He said. “Brianna, I’m really happy for you. Who would’ve thought my daughter would tuft out so outstanding?”

Brianna’s mouth tightened a bil

“Let’s head to dinner,” she said.

With that, she turned on her heel and made her way to the party hall

Noticing Brianna’s chilly attitude toward Darcy, the ladies nearby quickly picked up on the vibe.

They caught on fast and made sure not to get too close.

Everyone kept a polite distance from the Meyers family.

The party had been underway for nearly half an hour.

Brandon still hadn’t shown up.

The mood in the party hall was starting to feel a bit awkward.

This was the new product launch and funding event for the Levy family’s daughter-in-law, but not a single member of the Levy family had shown up to back her up.

“Could it be that even the glamorous Levy family is dealing with some drama behind closed doors? people couldn’t help but wonder.

Patsy and Tristan quickly picked up on the guests’ growing doubts.

They did their best to liven things up, trying their hardest to warm up the crowd.

They kept making rounds, toasting everyone in hopes of lightening the mood.

Good thing Tristan was still around to hold down the fort.

People had to show him some respect.

So it wasn’t a total embarrassment.

Brianna kept checking the entrance, unable to stop herself from looking over again and again.

‘Why am I getting so anxious?’ she thought. ‘Brandon never breaks a promise. He said he’d come, so why isn’t he here yet?’ Brianna was about to call him and ask what was going on, but stopped herself.

She thought about it for a second, then held back.

‘Whatever, it’s his choice, she told herself. ‘I can totally handle this without him.’

Darcy watched the crowd, picking up on everyone’s mood.

She checked her watch for what felt like the hundredth time.

The party had already been underway for more than half an hour.

Brandon still hadn’t made an appearance.

Darcy’s impatience was starting to show.

Blanca had a mocking smile playing on her lips.

Her expression was full of derision.

She’d love nothing more than for Brandon to stay away.

Right at that moment, the door swung open.

Brandon showed up at the entrance.

There was a slight smile playing at his lips.

He walked in with steady, purposeful steps.

He greeted everyone with a respectful gesture, acknowledging the crowd.

When Brandon walked in, everyone immediately turned their attention to him. The crowd’s eyes lit up, full of excitement and anticipation.

Brandon Readed straight for Drianna and took a seat right beside her.

here was a torek-af regret on his face, and his eyes were warm and gentle. “Brandon said, “Sorry I’m late”

“No worries,” Brianna said, Mashing Brandon à reassuring smile.

Brianna noticed Darcy shooting glances their way.

She gently served Brandon some food, her movements full of care

Brianna said softly to him, “Eat something first

Brandon picked up his knife and fork and ate the food Brianna had served him in one bite.

Then he picked up his wine glass,

He stood up and went from table to table, offering a toast to each group.

After several rounds of toasts, Brandon finally returned to Brianna’s side.

At this moment, Brandon was already drunk.

His slender fingers tugged at his tie, loosening it.

It was like the alcohol was making him uncomfortable, burning him from the inside out.

His Adam’s apple moved restlessly beneath his open collar.

His suit jacket had been tossed carelessly onto a chair.

Two buttons of his shirt were undone, exposing the usually pale skin at his collarbone-now flushed, the color burning all the way up to his ears.

His eyes were half-lidded, unfocused.

Only a hint of that sharp, intimidating presence lingered at the corners of his eyes.

Brianna watched Brandon, worry written all over her face.
