Chapter 650 The person in the photo was not Vivian but another strange woman she couldnât recognize.
Natalie became confused.
Although the woman in the photo was wearing a disguise and her face couldnât be seen clearly, she was short and plump. She looked very different from Vivian, who was tall and slender.
âItâs not Vivian. Did she find out about my plan? Why didnât she take the bait?â
Natalie sighed and said dejectedly. She told the receptionist to take a photo of anyone who came and asked about the waitress in the accident and send it to her.
However, the result wasnât what she hoped for, and her plan failed miserably.
Natalie became confused âYour plan has actually succeededâin a way. Vivian took the bait, didnât she? But you werenât expecting her to be wise enough not to show up in person.â
Brandon stroked Natalieâs hair. His voice was comforting when he said, âI know youâll plan better next time.â
Natalieâs eyes lingered on Brandonâs.
âI should have known someone as cautious as Vivian would find a way not to come in person.â
âVivian is very smart. The situation was critical yet she was able to consider it might be a trap. Finding someone to spill information about the situation is not really that hard.â
Looking at the frustrated look on Natalieâs face, Brandon tried hard to hold back his laughter and make himself more serious.
âWell, letâs put aside the matter of Vivian and go home first.â
âAre you suggesting we let Vivian off so easily? I donât think I can.â Natalie leaned her head against the window, a veil of sadness dimming her face.
âVivian is on high alert right now. Itâs not a good time to seize her.â
Brandon took a moment to consider his words before chuckling and saying, âAnd even if we have photos of Vivian, those arenât solid evidence.â
Natalie pursed her lips. She caught sight of Brandonâs smiling face and immediately had a sense that she was being teased.
âWell, if you already knew it then why didnât you stop me? You let me keep pretending I was drunk at the hotel gate.
Now, I think I looked stupid! What if Vivian was hiding in the dark and laughing at me?â
âShe was busy verifying the truth. Iâm sure she didnât have time to care about you.â
Brandon continued to comfort her.
The expectant look in Brandonâs eyes in the hotel garden flashed back into Natalieâs mind.
Did Brandon already know her plan would eventually fail? Annoyed, Natalie patted Brandon on the shoulder and said, âYou enjoyed watching me make a fool of myself, didnât you? Brandon! You are so annoying!â
It wasnât a painful hit. Instead of reacting, Brandon just grabbed Natalieâs wrist, pulling her into his arms.
âAll right.â
Affection was overflowing from Brandonâs gaze as he watched her. He didnât even try to stop Natalieâs plan.
âHoney, planning something like that is not your strong suit. But you were so eager to try and youâre too cute for me to stop. Mistakes are part of life.
Besides, Vivian wouldnât be able to get away with it. Thereâs no need for you to worry.â
After all that happened, Natalie was left with no choice but to give up any plan. She leaned against Brandonâs chest, still depressed, and now her head began to ache.
Just now in the hotel, she drank a lot to make her performance real enough.
âHoney, I think Iâm really drunk.â
Natalie massaged in between her eyebrows and let out a loud burp.
Brandon fanned her burning cheek while chuckling.
Then, he looked up at Sean and said, âWe should go now.â
At the same time, in the Turner familyâs villa.
Vivian leaned on the sofa, a glass of wine in her hand. She already downed two glasses of wine but something was still bothering her.
This was a very strange night.
Natalie specifically picked Newden Hotel for the dinner party.
Did she discover something? There was no way.
Vivian knew Natalie wasnât smart enough.
Was it simply a coincidence? Vivian frowned. She touched the phone in her hand and as expected, it didnât ring. She couldnât help but feel anxious.
When she got out of the restaurant, Vivian bribed a stranger into asking about the waitress who fell down the stairs.
Vivian specially instructed the woman to wait until most of the guests of the restaurant had left before going in and asking.
The money was enough for the woman to do whatever she was told.
Besides, inquiring about a waitress wasnât a big deal at all. She agreed to the deal right away. But it was almost midnight.
Why wasnât she responding? Suddenly, Vivianâs phone lit up.
An unknown number was calling her.
She immediately answered.
âHowâs it going??ââ
âAccording to the receptionist, the waitress was currently in a coma and hasnât gone back to work yet.â
The womanâs voice came on the phone.
A sigh of relief escaped Vivianâs mouth.
The serious look in her eyes dissipated.
âIf there is nothing else, Iâm hanging up. Itâs already late so I need to get home.â
The woman almost ended the call but Vivian stopped her before she could hang up.
âHold on a second. Did you notice anything suspicious around the restaurant? Like, people lurking around. Did anyone try to catch you?â
If Natalie wasnât the one who plotted it, then maybe Brandon was behind the plan, Vivian thought. Confusion was obvious in the womanâs voice.
âItâs already very late when I went to the restaurant to inquire just like you told me. The place was almost deserted except for some crazed drunk outside.â
âOkay.â
Vivian breathed a sigh of relief the moment the call ended. She relaxed her back on the sofa.
A smile suddenly appeared on her lips as she stared at the white ceiling.
Perhaps she was overthinking it. She got scared over nothing tonight.
Ever since Jeremy came back, Vivian had been restless. She had been on high alert.
The waitress today probably just resembled the woman who had been pushed down the stairs before.
As for Natalie, she didnât have to be afraid of her.
What Vivian had to focus on now was keeping an eye on Brandon. She wanted her revenge but she had to be careful. She would leave Barnes and stay away from Jeremy as soon as she was done.
Jeremyâs appearance made Vivian panic.
Luke and Catherine had been out of the country for so long too and they were already planning coming back soon.
All these were making her plans riskier.
With this in mind, Vivian decided to speed up her plan.
Good thing the project between the Larson Group and the partners was successful.
Brandon just told her about a press conference the Larson Group would be holding in a few days.
Reporters would flock to the event and many people involved in the project would be there. It was an excellent opportunity. Vivian wasnât expecting Brandon would get discharged from the hospital earlier, which greatly undermined her plan to spread the rumors of Brandon being terminally ill.

ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 This time, Vivian was ready to take the risk.
She would let the public know about Brandonâs illness and the press conference was the perfect chance.
She had credible evidence.
