The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 638

Chapter 638

Brandon did know, in a way. Natalie seemed to be in a good mood these past few days. She was always either at W Marks or the hospital, taking care of him. She never once mentioned Derek whenever she told him about her day.

Brandon assumed Derek had been keeping his distance from Natalie since the car accident. Perhaps he had given up on her from that day on.

Brandon didn’t answer and Derek was left speechless. He smacked his l*ps. He had never known what to say to someone as arrogant and pretentious as Brandon. Derek’s elder brother was the same as Brandon. They were both so cold whenever they were talking to others.

Derek lazily stretched before turning to the fruit basket he brought and picking out one of the apples. He began eating it.

The corner of Brandon’s mouth twitched. He regarded Derek with a cold glare as he desperately wanted to kick the impolite man out of the room.

“If you’re going to eat, go out. This is my ward.”

Derek took a few more bites at the apple before speaking. His words slurred.

“No, I need to tell you something. It’s important.”

Quickly swallowing the apple, he added, “I’m here to thank you and Natalie. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been sitting here. You risked your life to save me.”

“It’s good that you know it.” Brandon’s fist was really itching to punch someone right now, but he did his best to hold back the urge.

“Are you done? If you are, get out!”

“What a rude person you are. Why does Natalie even like you?”

Derek puckered his l*ps in bewilderment. He had such a bright and sunny personality yet Natalie wouldn’t even waste a second to look at him. Her taste in men was really bad.

Brandon was just lifting the quilt to get up when Derek took another bite of the apple and sighed.

“But of course, you must have some good qualities in you. Otherwise, Natalie wouldn’t love you and only you.”

A glint of envy was in his eyes as she whispered, “Alas, I saw real love from you two. And I think that deserves to be respected.”

Derek threw his almost finished apple in the trash can, and then stood up and said, “It’s about time. I should go now. Have a good rest.”

He was already at the door when a thought occurred to him. Looking back, he plucked a document from the bag of snacks.

“I heard you haven’t found the perpetrator yet. So, I guess you may be interested in this.”

Brandon opened the file that Derek gave him. It had information about Roger, the man he had also investigated before.

“There’s no news about him now. Where did you get this information?” A cold glare fl**kered in Brandon’s eyes. He wasn’t expecting Derek to investigate the matter as well.

Derek decided to tell the truth.

“I’m too busy with the endorsement and modeling all day long to investigate something like this. But my brother found out about the accident. He was so angry so he looked into it. He dug about everyone related to Roger, but the information he had was only up to Roger’s disappearance. It was very strange. My brother checked the surveillance footage across the whole city and only found the last place he appeared. You can go there when you have time.”

Brandon turned to the last page of the document. The last place where Roger was seen was a deserted building in the suburbs. It was a place developed by the Turner Group.

“It’s a snake pit with the Turner Group.” Brandon put the document on the table and his eyes hardened like steel.

Derek’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as he asked, “Are the Turners the ones pulling the strings against Natalie before?”
