Chapter 440 Desperate


    “Son, what’s going on?” Timothy asked as he noticed Brandon didn’t look well.


    “I am fine…” Brandon forced out an awkward smile to answer.


    Now he really sweat all over nervously.


    He had never been experiencing such a horrible trouble in his life.


    “Brandon, chill. Yeah, though here is the venue, perhaps it’s located in other floors.” He murmured to


    himself to getfort. Then he followed Timothy into the elevator.


    As the elevator went up, a sense of agitation started to escte in his mind.


    Now they had reached the 50th floor, while As was built from 68th to 88th.


    ‘Hell no!’ Brandon was in a cold sweat, hoping that it wasn’t held in the ce of As.


    He felt suffocated.


    Then the elevator stopped at the 68th floor.


    Timothy strode out of the elevator.


    Brandon seemed to be frozen on spot.


    It was the As!


    “Miss Perez is on her way. I am gonna chat with my old friends before the performance gets started.”


    Timothy smiled and walked over to his friends.


    While Brandon was totally stunned. His shirt was wet in cold sweat.


    How came? Judith was holding the performance in As?


    Though there was arge indoor stadium for the staffs here, he still deemed it too incredible to be the


    venue for Judith’s performance.


    What was worse, he hadn’t even started the handover process of As. So he had no ess to any


    facilities of As as he hadn’t got the password.


    As time went by, more and more people started to gather around, while every single one of whom were


    significantly influential. They were all waiting at the lobby of As.


    Besides Forrest, n and Justin, he saw Ronnie, Wace, Millie and Chris. The whole upper ss in


    Emerdale were all heading to the performance.


    Meanwhile, Ernie, the head of the Palmers, Lennon the head of the Grants, his grandson, Caleb and


    even Elis had all arrived.


    Brandon was burning with panic as he could foresee that all those big shots were about to be kept from


    the outside.


    When he was about to make a call to Lydia, someone eximed to announce, “Wee, Miss Perez!”


    Hearing that, everyone present stood still to fix their eyes on the direction where the voice came.


    Surrounded by all, a charmingdy in vintage suit with her face covered beneath a veil slowly walked


    over.


    Then the atmosphere was lit up with excitement.


    “It’s Miss Perez, the Music Maestro!”


    “God! I finally see her in the flesh!”


    “I am a huge fan of hers! But I don’t know why she wanna arrange a performance here.”


    “As Beauty, right? Perhaps it would be a nice choice to make it a priority to develop my business


    with.”


    Those honorable guests were all thrilled while talking about the rtionship between Judith and the


    As Group.


    Brandon was getting more and more distraught. He was aware that a big trouble wasing to him.


    When Judith’s bodyguard was about to open the door for her. He found it being locked. Soon, he


    looked exasperated.


    “What’s going on? Where are the people of As? They don’t even send a receptionist to walk us in


    when Miss Perez hase to the lobby?”


    Soon, those privileged guests were all irritated.


    Each of them had the power to overturn the As. Now they had all gathered in the lobby while being


    kept out of the door.


    How annoying!


    Timothy huffed, “What’s wrong with As? They are gonna kept us standing and waiting outside the


    door?”


    Brandon was rendered ghastly pale when hearing that.


    “Miss Perez, please wait for a minute, let us get it done. The As has to pay the price if they tryna fool


    us!” those privileged guests smiled at Judith fawningly.


    While Judith herself was standing still. She didn’t seem displeased at all.


    Soon, they were burning with rage, “Is there anybody making a call to the boss of As to ask for


    reason? Why did they keep us out?”


    Soon, the line was connected.


    The one who dialed the number shouted with anger, “Lydia, what’s wrong with you? Miss Perez has

    walked to the door! Why do you keep it locked?”


    But a man’s voice answered through the phone, “Please chill yourselves, gentlemen. Of course it has


    been kept locked. Because As no longer belongs to my wife.”


    Now all of them noticed that it was the voice of Leo.


    Forrest, n and Justin, also including those who had pledged loyalty to Leo, made an eye contact


    with each other. Now they seemed to notice what was going on. But they simply replied with a wry


    smile.


    “We all know Miss Henderson has been righteous and trustworthy. So we believe she never tries such


    a stupid thing. Alright, now it seems that something goes wrong.” Said Forrest.


    “That’s right. But we must find out what’s going on!”


    Some of those guests hurried to echo fawningly.


    Timothy was burning with rage, “What kind of idiot would dare to keep Miss Perez out of the door!”


    Brandon was horrified, “Dad, let’s go home!”


    “What’s wrong with you?” when Timothy was about to bombard him with anger, he suddenly noticed his


    pale face. So Timothy asked with confusion, “Brandon, what happened?”


    “What was going on? Howe the As no longer belongs to Miss Henderson?”


    The rest of them were all wondering.


    Leo smiled to reply, “Now As belongs to Brandon. You should ask him for the reason why he kept the


    door locked.”


    Then Leo hung up the phone. Soon, Brandon turned to be the target of all.


    Timothy was dumfounded. He red at Brandon and shouted, “What the hell is going on?”


    Brandon almost burst into desperate tears under the gaze from those big shots, “I…I don’t know…”


    Forrest walked to his front and huffed coldly, “I don’t care about the issues happening between you and


    Miss Henderson! But now Miss Perez is still waiting! Open the goddamn door!”


    Brandon sweat all over his face, “But…I don’t know the password…”


    “You don’t know the password?”


    Forrest sneered, “Now you got two minutes left to figure it out before I start to do something dirty to


    your family!”


    Justin echoed, “You actually tried to take over As from Miss Henderson? You gotta be out of your


    mind!”


    n then made a call, “I need you to dismiss Brandon and his father from their positions in the Urban


    Construction Bureau for them offending Miss Perez.”


    Hearing that, Brandon flopped onto the ground on his knees.


    “No! No, please! I didn’t mean to!”


    Then a strong p struck his face hard.


    It was Timothy, who red at him with his eyes bloodshot, “Your little bastard! What did you do? Why


    are you taking over As?”


    Brandon answered in pale face while trembling all over, “Dad…but I…I just did as you told me to…It


    was you who told me to take over As…”


    Driven by nervousness, Brandon actually confessed.


    Timothy was exasperated. He smacked him hard again, “Are you gonna shirk your responsibility and


    let me take the me? Call Miss Henderson right now and return As to her!”


    Brandon hurried to dial the number. However, he got no response but the voice mail notice of


    Lydia.
