Chapter 382: Chapter 657

Chapter 657 “What have we gotten?” Brandon sat relaxed on the chair, and his voice was especially cold. Natalie had also been anticipating hearing what they had gotten out of Vivian.

What was her reason for returning to avenge Charis? She really wanted to find answers as it had been on her mind for a while.

Scratching his face, Sean handed the recorder pen to Brandon. He looked a bit exhausted from being up all night as he said, “Listen to it yourself, Mr.

Larson. Vivian is truly a stubborn woman. She didn’t say anything.”

They had been up all night, taking shifts in interrogating Vivian.

Despite the multiple interrogation methods they had used, she didn’t give them any valuable information.

“Has the criminal expert I invited arrived?”

Brandon had a feeling that Vivian would be a tough nut to crack, so he told Sean to call in a criminal expert as soon as they caught her.

“The expert rushed over here after midnight and still we didn’t get any information from her.Vivian has no one to depend on. Revenge is the only thing keeping her going. She can’t be shaken by anything. People without weaknesses are the most terrifying.”

Sean felt chills as the scene of Vivian gnashing her teeth last night came to mind.

Natalie bit her lower lip and turned to look Brandon in the eyes.

“She is a tough woman. Not even the criminal expert you hired could break through to her. We can’t keep wasting time on her like this. It’d be best we hand the evidence against her to the police and leave them to deal with it.”

Brandon’s eyes darkened.

Although he remained quiet, there seemed to be an aura of danger cloaking itself within him. He didn’t respond.

Natalie noticed something was off.

With how she knew Brandon, it seemed to her that he was hiding something.

“Is there anything else that worries you?” she asked.

With how things had turned out, Brandon had to explain his doubts.

“My goal in interrogating Vivian was to confirm if she planned this revenge all by herself and she hasn’t been getting help from the Tumer Group.

Think about it. Without the help of the Turner Group, how could an orphan like Vivian have the resources and power to go against the Larson Group?

She has to be getting help from someone.”

Natalie unconsciously clenched her fists. It wasn’t over.

She suddenly became alert again.

A couple of seconds passed in silence, and then Brandon patted the seat’s armrest and stood up.He said in a domineering tone, “As Vivian didn’t release any information, I don’t want to waste any more time. Find out everyone she’s ever been in touch with. Starting with Luke, we’ll get something from there for sure.”

“Wait. I have a better idea, honey.”

Natalie held Brandon’s arm.

His words had enlightened her at that moment.

Her eyes were gentle and wise.

“As it is that we suspect someone secretly helping her, doing this would only alert the enemy and cause a fallout with the Turner family.It’s hard to guarantee that the Turner family wouldn’t join hands with other families to go against the Larson Group.What happened to Jethro and Lydia is a lesson.I think it’s better to settle this quietly.”

Brandon smiled.

Natalie used to be kind and gentle.

One to be even regarded as a meek woman at times.

However, after so many things, she had grown to be a confident and astute woman.

Brandon gently touched her cheek and said, “What do you suggest then? I’m listening.”

“Let me think.”

Natalie put a hand on her chin and stared off into the distance.

She had noticed Sean staring at her, so she coughed and gently asked, “Do you have something to tell me, Sean?”She had caught sight of Sean’s eyes darting to and fro in her direction.

Sean’s eyes went to Brandon and he helplessly scratched the back of his head.He then finally revealed.

“Well, last night, Vivian asked to see you.She asked several times, but I didn’t respond.The expert as well suggested you speak to her, saying we might get a breakthrough that way.”

A deep frown formed on Brandon’s face as he heard this.He bluntly refused before Natalie could even say anything.

“No.”

He didn’t bring Natalie here to talk to Vivian.

Multiple emotions flashed through Natalie’s eyes.

She pulled on Brandon’s sleeve and said, “It’s fine.I want to speak with her, actually.”

Brandon frowned and opened his mouth to refuse again.

However, Natalie quickly put a hand over his mouth.

“Don’t just say no so quickly.I’ll be cautious this time.Honey, I just want this whole thing to end.”

Sean’s eyes went to Brandon and he helplessly scratched the back of his head.He then finally revealed.

“How many times had Vivian tried to hurt you? Who knows what she’ll do this time once she sees you.”

The coldness of Brandon’s eyes made his already irrefutable words harder to deny.

Deep inside, misgivings weighed his heart.

Natalie getting involved in the plan to catch Vivian was the last thing Brandon wanted.

“This is the Larson Group, your territory.Do you think Vivian is stupid enough to hurt me here?” Natalie said gently, her voice soothing Brandon’s anxiety like a balm.

“Well, I’ve made up my mind and it won’t change.Since Vivian chooses to stay silent, we can just hand her over to the police.”

Brandon narrowed his eyes at Sean, making sure his order was clear.

Then, without another word, he stood up and was to leave with Natalie.

Natalie stopped him, a mischievous smile stretching her lips.

Sean’s presence was completely disregarded.

Standing on her tiptoe, Natalie kissed Brandon on the cheek, clinging to his arm.Her voice was coquettish when she spoke.

“Don’t you want to hear what my mother said?”

For a few seconds, Brandon simply stood rigidly, stunned by her action.His hand skittered up the cheek she had just kissed.His eyebrows raised ever so slightly above his charming eyes.

A smile threatened to reveal the warmness in his chest but he tried his best to suppress it and keep a calm demeanor.

“Of course, I should listen to my mother-in-law’s suggestion.”

Natalie sat next to him explaining it quietly.

“I won’t be facing Vivian alone this time.According to my mom, Vivian is not as simple as she appeared to be.Mom suggested a plan B and she said it would definitely work.But I can’t tell you more for the time being.”

Considering how mysterious Natalie’s tone was, Brandon knew he wouldn’t get any more information.It was perhaps Mrs.White’s idea not to tell him.

With a helpless sigh, he said, “You have used this trump card, I have to let you go.Never mind.Go ahead, but be careful.I’ll be watching you outside.”

Now that she had Brandon’s permission, Natalie freely entered the interrogation room.

The lights in the room were bright and glaring.

Vivian’s blindfold had been taken off.

Footsteps sounded from the door, and she raised her head.

The moment she saw the door open and Natalie walk in, she burst into laughter.

“I knew they would send you here to see me.”

“Be quiet!”

The bodyguard hit the wooden table hard.He looked at Vivian ferociously and she immediately clamped her mouth shut.

After that, he looked at Natalie and said respectfully, “Mrs.Larson, we will be waiting outside.If you’re in any danger, just ring the alarm.”

“You may leave.”

Natalie smiled at the bodyguards, watching them exit before pulling out the chair opposite Vivian.

Unprecedented calmness took over her as she sat down.

“Why do you want to see me?”

Natalie examined the young woman in front of her.

Despite her injuries, Vivian was still energetic.

There was even an inexplicable excitement glimmering in her eyes.

“Because I know you also want to see me.”

A faint smile appeared on Vivian’s face, her eyes casually scanning the room.

“You think I have no idea that Brandon is watching out there? I’m not afraid of you.Once Luke and Catherine return, you’ll all be done for.”

Taking a deep breath, she said, “You can lock me up for days, not feed me or let me rest, I can bear all of it.I’ve suffered worse in the orphanage. Just wait until I finally get out of here.I will make sure you pay for everything you did to me today, Natalie.”

Natalie instantly jumped on Brandon’s defense. Her hands trembled and so did her voice.

“The welfare houses and orphanages funded by my husband are all legal and formal, with carefully selected qualified staff. They will never abuse anyone there.”

“He doesn’t live in one of those facilities. Only coming once a year to donate money is not enough to know what actually happens there. Don’t put him on a pedestal.”

The mere thought of it was enough to fill Vivian with hatred.
