Chapter 211 Her Mood Controls Everything
Vesper's heart sank as something suddenly occurred to her.
She quickly asked Flora, "Did the variety show get a new investor? Is it the Obelon Entertainment Company under the Obelon Group?"
Flora had just finished checking her phone. Hearing the question, she said, "Yes! It is indeed the Obelon Entertainment Company. And I heard from staff I know well that Mr. Brandon Obelon and Mr. Finnian Obelon came today too. It seems they came specifically for Uly's sister!"
"During the day, Mr. Brandon Obelon dressed up as a crew member the whole time and followed Uly's group! Online, people are trying to find out his identity and background because of his appearance! As for inside the production team, those in the know are all spreading rumors..."
"Spreading what?"
Vesper's face darkened.
Flora hesitated for a moment before saying, "They're saying Mr. Brandon Obelon came specifically to pursue Uly's sister. They've even made up several versions of the story, but basically, they all say the two are a perfect match."
"Also, earlier, Yara saw that Uly's sister seemed to have been taken away by Mr. Brandon Obelon! Vesper, what's going on?"
"If I remember correctly, isn't Mr. Brandon Obelon your fiancé? How is he with another woman?"
"And those rumors going around before, about Mr. Brandon Obelon not acknowledging his relationship with you—is that true too?"
Vesper naturally wouldn't answer that question.
Since entering the industry, the reason she got Flora's favor was that she claimed to be Brandon's fiancée, which made Flora think highly of her.
If Flora found out she no longer had a relationship with Brandon, who knew what would happen?
"Of course it's fake."
Vesper flatly denied it, then changed the subject. "How much did the Obelon Entertainment Company invest?"
Flora answered, "They added an extra hundred million dollars to the budget!"
Vesper suddenly felt dizzy. After recovering for a moment, the emotions she'd been suppressing for so long finally broke through!
She violently smashed her phone completely.
How could Brandon do this!
How could he!
Just for that bitch Candice!
Vesper grabbed the water glass on the table and threw it out in frustration.
She really couldn't understand why, even in her own professional field, she still lost to Candice.
And lost so badly!
And Brandon actually did something so beneath his status!
Was that bitch Candice really that good!
Throwing around so much investment money just like that.
She'd been by his side for so many years and never received this much benefit!
Vesper felt miserable and furious, almost breaking down.
Seeing Vesper starting to lose it, Flora quickly held her back and reminded her, "This is still a filming location. If you want to freak out, everyone outside can hear you clearly. Then you won't have to worry about not being famous!"
Reminded of this, Vesper was seething with hatred but could only force herself to hold it in.
Candice was completely unaware of all this.
After dinner, she watched some of the day's variety show footage with the kids. When it was about time, she prepared to go to the hot spring.
She took Yasmin to the Women's Bath.
As for Elijah, he went with Brandon to the Men's Bath.
This place was truly worthy of Brandon's careful selection. The hot spring temperature was just right, and soaking in it felt amazing.
Candice was a bit tired from the day's activities. In such a comfortable atmosphere, she leaned against the edge of the pool and accidentally fell asleep.
Yasmin knew she was tired today. Seeing her resting with her eyes closed, she didn't disturb her and sat quietly beside her, soaking in the hot spring.
Little did they know that hot springs should not be soaked in for too long at all.
Half an hour later, when Yasmin woke Candice up, she was already feeling dizzy from lack of oxygen.
When she tried to stand up, she couldn't keep her balance and fell right back down.
Yasmin was terrified and quickly moved closer to Candice, calling out anxiously, "Mom, are you okay?"
Candice wanted to reassure her.
But her whole body felt weak, she had almost no strength, and she'd swallowed some water. She couldn't even lift her hands.
Yasmin could tell something was wrong and immediately reacted.
"Mom, wait for me. I'll go get someone." After saying this, she ran out quickly.
Candice couldn't stop her. She really couldn't stand up on her own right now.
Outside.
Brandon and Elijah had finished soaking long ago.
The father and son were waiting for Candice and Yasmin in the sauna room.
With them were Knox and Finnian.
Elijah had been waiting for a long time. Not seeing Candice and Yasmin come out, he muttered, "Why is Mom taking so long?"
Brandon also thought it was strange. Just as he was about to have a staff member check on them, he saw Yasmin rush in, calling out urgently, "Something's wrong! Candice doesn't seem right, she can't get up! Brandon, go check on her quickly!"
Yasmin's panicked shout made both father and son's expressions change instantly!
Brandon immediately stood up and strode quickly toward where Candice was.
"What's going on?"
Finnian looked confused.
Knox shook his head, equally puzzled.
The two quickly followed with Elijah and Yasmin.
However, they only waited at the door and didn't go in.
After all, no one knew what the situation was inside.
If Candice wasn't dressed, and they barged in, once Brandon calmed down, their eyes would be done for.
After Brandon went in, he closed the door behind him, not even letting the two little ones follow.
Inside, Candice didn't know who Yasmin had gone to get.
Right now, she was barely holding onto the edge of the pool, trying to stay conscious.
Just as she was drifting in and out, about to pass out, she heard urgent footsteps.
She thought that when Yasmin rushed out, she would have gotten a service staff member.
But unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw Brandon.
He was wearing a silk bathrobe, walking with urgent steps, coming quickly toward her.
Candice's already foggy mind went blank for a moment.
After coming to her senses, she asked, somewhat flustered, "Why is it you?"
She instinctively raised her hand, wanting to cover her chest.
But it was too late.
Despite the shallow mist hovering over the pool, Brandon could still clearly see the scene underwater.
Her delicate body was faintly visible beneath the water.
Candice's long hair was already wet, and her whole person radiated both elegance and allure.
Before, even when they weren't divorced yet, Brandon had never witnessed such a sight.
His eyes instantly deepened.
The cells in his body seemed to be stirred, becoming active all at once.
However, Brandon quickly suppressed all of this.
Without hesitation, he said, "Yasmin came to find me. She looked very worried and anxious. I had to come check on you. How are you? Did you soak too long and feel dizzy?"
As he spoke, he had already stepped into the hot spring pool with his long legs.
Candice was startled and said very uncomfortably, "A little, but could you get me a bathrobe first?"
Brandon ignored her request, frowning as he replied, "Candice, I know every inch of your skin better than you do. Now's not the time to be modest. If you keep soaking, something will go wrong!"
After saying this, ignoring Candice's gasp, he wrapped his long arm around her and quickly pulled her out of the water.
The moment her soft body entered his embrace, the hazy feeling from underwater completely disappeared.
In its place was a clear visual impact.
Brandon's gaze was almost uncontrollably drawn to her.
Candice's brain nearly crashed.
He never did what she asked!
Under that burning gaze, her cheeks, already flushed from the hot spring, turned even redder.
Candice pushed at Brandon's chin in embarrassed annoyance, saying, "Brandon, don't look!"
