Chapter 1484
Fortunately, it was not a case of deliberate arson.Brian massaged his aching temples, feeling utterly drained at this moment.
Edwin, who had been accompanying him, said with concern, “Mr. Hughes, you haven't had any rest all night. Why don’t you takea break?”
Brian nodded when he heard this.He was indeed exhausted because he hadn't rested well.
It had been quite some time since he’d had a decent night's sleep, especially with the recent days spent dealing with hismother’s marriage woes.
As Edwin prepared to book a nearby hotel for Brian, the latter waved it off, saying, “No, thanks. I'll catch a quick nap in the car.”Aware of Brian's persistent worry for the branch, Edwin didn’t press the issue further and opened the car’s rear door for him.Brian settled into the back seat and closed his eyes. Just as he was about to doze off, his phone rang.
With a furrowed brow, Brian opened his bloodshot eyes and checked his phone.
Seeing that it was Sanford calling, Brian closed his eyes and answered with a sigh, “What's the matter?”
Sanford sounded anxious as he asked, “Brian, why didn’t you tell us about your divorce with Rosalynn? How long were yougoing to hide such a big thing from us?”
Brian rubbed his temples and shifted his body uncomfortably when he heard this. “Who told you that? Was it Maggie?”
He had a hunch that Rosalynn might have told Maggie they had divorced, and Maggie subsequently shared the news withSanford.
He thought this was what had happened.“Yes, it was Maggie. Brian, is it tue? Did you really divorce Rosalynn? When did this happen?” Sanford asked.Brian replied tiredly, “No, it’s not true.”
“What? It’s not true? Brian, you need to explain this. What’s going on?”
“To appease my mother, Deanna asked me to get a fake divorce certificate...”
Brian told Sanford the truth.
There was a brief silence on the other end. Sanford finally responded,novelbin
“| see. So that’s the deal. Since it’s a fake divorce, why didn’t you tell Rosalynn sooner?”Brian sighed in exasperation. “I’m busy with work right now.”
Sanford chuckled softly and added, “Brian, if you keep being tied up with work, your wife will be taken away by someone else.”
