Chapter 461

"That's why I want you to ask!" Brittany circled the table, grabbed his arm, and gently rocked it. "It's not a big deal. You just need to check the details. Can't you help me with this small thing?" It wasn't a big deal, but where had she heard that nonsense?

Brandon frowned, looking disgusted. "How could you even believe this? I remember you being quite confident! Have you ever seen another woman with Alex? I thought you'd already chased away all the women who tried to get near him. Besides, given his behavior, I'd probably believe he was gay if you said so. Do you think he's engaged to another man?"

He spoke seriously, convinced of his own logic.

Brittany clenched her fist and thumped him fiercely. "Bullshit! You're probably gayer than he is! Just help me ask! Why are you asking so many questions?" Hammered by her fist, Brandon screamed, "Alright, I'll ask! It's true what they say—women's hearts turn to their lovers rather than family. If I came out of the closet, I'd be the last successor in our family!"

Seeing her fist raised, about to hit him again, he hurriedly begged, "My dear Brittany, I'll ask for you. Please be merciful!"

Hearing this, Brittany lowered her hand. "You said it! Don't forget it!"

She started to leave, then remembered something. Turning around, she said, "By the way, remember to tell me the time and place after you've booked it. I'm going too!"

"Friendly advice," Brandon said, "You'd better not come."

"Why?" she pouted, unhappy.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Since she'd run off with him, they'd only spoken twice, both calls initiated by her. Initially, she'd wanted Alexander to coax her, but after several days, she'd grown impatient. Well, who told her to fall for him? Those who fell first always felt the most humbled. She would use this opportunity to meet Alexander and have him personally deny the rumors.

Brandon said earnestly, "You know it's awkward for you to ask about this. Whether true or false, do you think he'll tell the truth in front of you?"

"Why not?"

"If so, why don't you ask him yourself?"

The single sentence dumbfounded her. Brittany bit her lip, looking conflicted. "Listen to me. Don't come! Men have their way of communicating. It's not suitable for you to come!" Brandon understood Brittany well, but he knew Alexander better. Knowing Brittany's domineering and willful nature, Alexander wouldn't tell the truth in front of her.

"All right, I won't go!" she finally decided. She valued the truth, so she promised, "Still, you have to promise to help me find out!"

"Okay, I promise!" He nodded repeatedly. He had no choice but to agree.

She was reluctant, but there was no other way. She was so eager to know, she longed to hear it from him. "Remember, you must ask clearly! If it's true, find out who that woman is!"

"Okay, okay!" Brandon waved his hands in assurance.

After seeing her out, Brandon finally caught his breath. Thinking it over, he found the whole thing bizarre. Regardless of the close friendship between their families, or Brittany's involvement, a legitimate engagement, especially one involving Alexander, would be common knowledge in their circle. There was no sign of a relationship, and suddenly, he's engaged? Who had captured Alexander's heart? Brandon was intrigued.
