Since she had already said it so clearly, Andy had no choice but to agree. “Alright, I’ll help you investigate.
Seeing him agree, Brynn couldn’t help but smile. “Thank you, Andy.”
“Come on, we’re friends. I’m glad to help.” Andy said, “Alright, see you.”

He thought, ‘What exactly is Brynn’s poor husband’s background? After such a long search, there’s still no information. To investigate Eric’s cause of death, I’ll need to access the confidential archive. Maybe it’s worth a look there.
Brynn didn’t know that Andy was still investigating her husband. Looking at the disconnected phone, she felt a little down.
She wondered, ‘Am I being too selfish? If things were as dangerous as Andy said, should I tell Dominic about it in advance?”
Just as Brynn was hesitating, her phone beeped with a notification. She clicked on it and found that Dominic had sent her a bunch of pictures of jewelry.
Brynn rubbed her forehead.
Dominic: [There’s a promotion here. If you buy a handbag, you get a piece of jewelry. Which style do you like?]
Brynn thought, ‘What? Can there be such a good thing?‘ She clicked on the picture suspiciously.
After seeing the pictures, she thought Dominic had probably been scammed. The jewelry in the picture cost millions of dollars, so it was impossible for it to come with a bag. She suspected that Dominic had entered AMS’s counterfeit store.
Brynn hesitated for a moment about whether to tell him her guess, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
She thought, ‘If he knew he bought the fake one, he would definitely blame himself. Let’s just let it go. Real or fake, it still works.‘
Brynn: [Let’s go with this one. It’s simple. I like this kind of style.]
She decided to pick the simplest design. This way, she could modify it herself later if she wanted to.
Brynn: [Thank you, babe. I love you.]
Dominic, who was far away in Montivara, looked at Brynn’s message and smiled. “Mr. Reed, you have a very good taste.”
He looked at Alan beside him and praised, “My wife loves this one.”
“You flatter me, Mr. Johnson. I’m just making a suggestion. It’s Mrs. Johnson who really has a good eye,” Alan said.
Alan pulled an exaggerated face. He turned to his assistant and said, “Pack up all the simple designs. You can never have too much jewelry.”
He thought, ‘It seems that our partnership is as good as done.’
Alan felt smug, but the moment he turned his head, he saw the aloof Dominic who always made him nervous replying to his wife via voice message.
He smiled, and his voice was extremely gentle. “I love
you too.”
Alan thought, ‘Seriously? Have you considered I might understand Aerovistian? Do you even realize you’re flaunting your love life in front of a single man?‘
Brynn took a short break at noon and sorted out her documents before leaving. However, just as she walked out of the office,

she saw fresh standing mutside, waiting for her
“What’s wrong” she asked.
Josh looked a little embarrassed. “Well, I realized I forgot to tell you my address when class ended”
Brynn said, “Tre fine. I drove here. Let’s go together in my car?
“Will that be too much trouble? Josh asked.

Brynn looked at Josh with amuseren. “We’re going to the same place. Giving one more person a ride won’t double the gas CON”
Josh thought she seemed to have a point.
Fifteen minutes later, Brynn drove to the Blaze residence. The atmosphere in the car was awkward, as neither of them said a word, so Brynn decided to strike up a conversation as the silence was getting unbearable.
She said, “I’m curious. Why did you choose Panacea Medical School”
Over the past two days, she had noticed that Josh was a fast learner. It didn’t make sense that he wouldn’t have been accepted into a better school
At first, Josh hesitated, but when he saw Brynn’s concerned gaze, he no longer found it difficult to tell her the real reason. He said, “Panacea Medical School is tuition–free. My family is poor, and we can’t afford tuition for a regular university.” No one at Panacea Medical School knew that he had been the top student in his high school during the past three years. even though he had been called a failure for a year now.
His father was seriously ill, and he didn’t want to be a burden to his parents. Therefore, he pretended to be a slacker and didn’t take the college entrance exam. In the end, he could only choose Panacea Medical School and be an average student.
Brynn didn’t expect this, and she felt sorry for him. Thinking about her relationship with the Blaze family, she tentatively asked, “I remember you have an elder sister, and she has a job, right? Can’t she help you?”
“I would rather not have her as my sister. She is a disgrace.” Mentioning Kylie, indignation filled Josh’s face as he unloaded his grievances.
He said, “When she was little and fell ill, our parents drained their savings to treat her. As she grew older, they showed her more love, but instead of being grateful, she kept taking advantage of them in every way possible.”
Josh clenched his fists. “When Dad was sick and hospitalized, not only did she not go to the hospital to see him but she also stole his savings and ran away.
“I went to find her, and not only did she not apologize but she also said that she didn’t want a family like this. Can you believe that? She’s heartless.”
After hearing Josh’s words, Brynn was a little surprised. She thought that Kylie was just trying to win Maris‘ sympathy, but she didn’t expect that she had actually been sick before.
Despite being pampered and never suffering, Kylie claimed she was mistreated. She even stole her adoptive father’s life- saving money, showing no gratitude for the love and sacrifices her family had given her.
She wasn’t just ungrateful; she lacked basic humanity.
