Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 852

Valarie's expression softened upon seeing his sincere demeanor. "Brandon, since I agreed to be with you, it means I'm not going to get involved with other men. My meeting with Tom today was just a coincidence. You can't get jealous without reason. Do you think that's fair?"

"No, I promise I won't do this again!" Brandon said, shaking his head vigorously.

Valarie felt her last bit of annoyance fade at his earnestness.

"Think about it. If I got jealous every time you talked to another woman, wouldn't you find that unreasonable?" she asked.

"No, I'd be happy if you did that. It would show you care about me," Brandon answered.

Valarie was rendered speechless.

Noticing her frustration, Brandon quickly changed the subject. "By the way, the cafeteria at the Sumner Group is pretty good. You didn't get a chance to try it when you were here for meetings before. Would you like to check it out with me today?"

"Sure," she replied.

He took her hand, leading her out.

…

In the back seat of a black Cayenne parked by the Sumner Group building, Tom furrowed his brows as he looked over some documents. His fingertips turned white from pinching the papers tightly, and a chilling aura surrounded him.

The file in his hand contained Valarie's information, primarily detailing her experiences over the past five years.

When he saw the section about Zayn drugging Valarie, his eyes narrowed, and he slowly smirked.

His secretary felt a chill run down his spine at Tom's expression. Tom rarely showed such an expression without intending to take action against someone.

Tom closed the file and said coolly, "I want the Updike Group out of the Saintornia market within three days."

The secretary bowed his head and replied cautiously, "Understood."

The car fell into silence.
