Chapter 468:
With a faint, bitter smile, she said, “The business partners aren’t pulling out. There’s no outrageous divorce settlement. Honestly, Brandon and I never even shared a bed. If the stock keeps fluctuating because of rumors like this, then it’s really—”
Just then, a knock came at the door, and Vivian turned her head, startled.
Then, the stream abruptly cut off.
At the doorway, Eugene stood, out of breath, staring at her.
“Miss Simpson, you can’t make moves like this without running it by us first!” he snapped, struggling to hold back his exasperation.
Vivian feigned an apologetic look and said, “I’m sorry. I just thought I could help.” She then gestured toward a graph on the screen nearby. “See? It’s working. The stock price is starting to bounce back.” Official source is
Eugene nearly rolled his eyes. The recovery had nothing to do with her. It was clearly the result of their plan finally kicking in. But he didn’t dare say anything too harsh. All he could do was—
All Brandon had to do was take Vivian back with him to the Watson Group. Sure enough, the company’s stock price had started to climb again. That much was expected, since Brandon had a plan, and like any other publicly traded firm, they had professionals in place to handle this kind of situation.
However, Vivian’s little stunt had set off waves of gossip across the industry. To those who didn’t know the full story, she might have seemed pitiful. But to others, she came off as nothing more than a joke.
Charles burst out laughing and turned to Millie. “Did you hear? Brandon’s become the laughingstock of the entire industry! It’s ridiculous! Since when did he start pulling such cheap tricks? Honestly, it’s killing me. My stomach hurts from laughing.”
Millie couldn’t believe it either. The overblown divorce rumors had already been cleared up the day before. There was never such a case to begin with.

The real reason behind the wave of panic that tanked the stock was a rumor that one of the Watson Group’s biggest partners was about to pull out, with others supposedly following suit. But Egbert had only gone to give Brandon a scare yesterday.
The contract had already been signed, and pulling out wasn’t something that could be done on a whim. At most, they might choose not to renew it when the time came. That was exactly why Millie had told Egbert not to drag her name into the matter.
The Watson Group had a strong foundation in technology, and they got the contract back then only because they overcame technological barriers first. So even if Brandon had truly behaved like a jerk to his wife, his personal life had little to do with his professional one. While it could shake investor confidence a little, it wasn’t enough to cause significant damage.
As long as the company stayed on top of things, the stock price would bounce back.
But now, the situation had taken a strange turn.
Vivian’s stunt was embarrassing, so much so that it was hard to even talk about. Was this what Brandon had become without Millie by his side? That thought echoed throughout the industry.
