Chapter 1007 Well-matched

Brendan led the way, and Emily's eyes darkened when she saw that the pastries she had given him earlier remained untouched. But soon, she caught up. “Mr. Brighthall, slow down a bit,” said Emily, who reached out to grab Brendan’s arm. But as soon as she touched him, he forcefully shook her off. Brendan didn’t mean it to be that forceful. Slightly furrowing his brows, he demanded, “Don’t touch me.” Emily forced a laugh. “Mr. Brighthall, is it necessary for you to be so guarded? It’s not like I’m going to eat you or kill anyone. I’m just interested in you. Today’s transaction is purely because you need my help. Your attitude is inappropriate, isn’t it?” “Sorry, I don’t like people touching me,” Brendan apologized as his two black eyes narrowed. “It turns out that you have a cleanliness obsession. I’ll keep that in mind,” Emily said with a faint smile. “Let’s go.” Emily was polite and kept a distance. On the other hand, Brendan was rather embarrassed and tried to ignore Emily whenever she got too close. Not far away, someone adjusted the angle of his camera and captured everything. The ambiguous pose left people’s imaginations running wild. Soon, the photos appeared on various platforms, causing controversy. “Brendan Brighthall and the daughter of Collins Pharmaceuticals? That’s a match made in heaven. That Charli McKinsey is nothing compared to Emily Collins. Hence, Brendan Brighthall is worthy of someone like Emily Collins.” “If they’re together, it’s what everyone wants! Brendan Brighthall better not turn a blind eye to any women who take advantage of him again.” “Not only is Emily the daughter of Collins Pharmaceuticals, but she herself has also studied abroad and has already earned a doctorate. She’s outstanding, having worked with many industry leaders to overcome many stubborn diseases in foreign medical research institutes. She is truly a talented woman!” “These show Emily is far superior to Charli, doesn't it? Moreover, it’s said that marriages of convenience are very common between such families, and they are well-matched. They might really end up together.” “Reliable sources say they are already together! I saw them together buying a diamond. They’re probably secretly planning the wedding.” “Oh, what a blessing! Hopefully, there won’t be any shameless women interfering with them anymore!” This matter naturally reached the television stations, and the media competed to report on it. Deirdre was sitting on the sofa and happened to hear it. “A reporter caught Brendan Brighthall of the Brighthall Group and Emily Collins of the Collins secretly dating. They acted ambiguously and even intertwined their hands many times. It seems that Mr. Brighthall has found his Mrs. Brighthall.” The news reporters even read out a few netizens’ comments and chatted about how well-matched Brendan and Emily were. Deirdre’s hands felt cold as she sat on the sofa. Hearing the noise behind her, she instinctively wanted to turn off the TV, but Ophelia said furiously, “You don’t have to turn it off. I’ve seen it.” “Deirdre, what’s going on? Didn’t Bren say he was going to the company? Why is he out shopping with another woman?” Deirdre was also uncertain. Brendan had told her clearly he was going to the company, but it turned out that the photos ended up on TV. But at that moment, she could only explain, “Mom, Miss Emily is a business partner. They came out of the company and went to have a meal together—” “Stop it!” Ophelia was extremely annoyed. “Do you think I’m stupid? You can’t see those photos, but I can! They were so close, intimate, and laughing together. And they even went to a clothing store in a commercial building. Would real business partners go to buy clothes together?”
