Chapter 999 If You Truly Marry Me, I Will Too
And Brandon?
Forget about loving her; all he ever did was hurt and use her, draining her of every ounce of value she had!
"Let's stop pretending," Brandon said, gripping Thessaly's shoulders. "Marry me, and we'll fight together, side by side."
She stared at him, bewildered. "Fight?"
"Yes," he confirmed. "As long as you keep everything a secret, I can marry you and promise you a life of wealth and luxury."
"And," Brandon added, "switch sides from Kelvin's camp to mine. From now on, he's our common enemy. We're allies, teammates, and husband and wife."
Thessaly finally understood. Brandon wanted to marry her to essentially silence her discourse!
He was trying to win her over!
Because she was the closest to the truth!
Brandon was still afraid, afraid that Penelope would discover his true nature!
"What if..." Thessaly asked, "...I don't marry you?"
Brandon laughed, leaning in close to her ear. "Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
A full-on threat!
"I'll give you five minutes," Brandon said, stepping back and glancing at his watch. "Think it over carefully."
He started the countdown.
Thessaly stood there, stunned.
She understood Brandon's intentions now.
He was trying to win her over, to make her abandon Kelvin and stay by his side completely. He promised to treat her well.
Thessaly thought, if she were a woman who craved wealth and status, she might be swayed at this moment.
But unfortunately, despite knowing her for so long, Brandon never truly respected her from the bottom of his heart.
So he was arrogant, confident that with such generous terms, she would definitely agree.
If Thessaly became Mrs. Walker, she would have half of The Walker Corporation's assets.
That was wealth she could never earn from a lifetime of acting!
"Three minutes," Brandon reminded.
Thessaly glanced at him.
She had never forgotten her original intention: revenge.
No matter the threats or temptations from Brandon, she had to stick to her initial plan!
"One minute," Brandon reminded again.
He seemed relaxed, arms crossed, exuding a sense of control.
But in reality, Thessaly could tell that Brandon wasn't as at ease as he appeared.
Having spent such an extensive period in his company, she understood him to some extent.
Brandon wanted to have Kelvin's ease, but he was always a bit short.
In every aspect, he was still a bit inferior to Kelvin.
Brandon didn't realize this, always thinking he could be better than Kelvin, just that he hadn't done it before.
But in practice, the gap between them was so obvious.
"Last ten seconds," Brandon said. "Thessaly, think carefully. Sometimes a single thought can change your entire life."
"If you choose to stand with Kelvin, you can indeed gain a lot, I admit. But if you choose me, you'll gain even more. Weigh it carefully."
As Brandon finished speaking, the time was up.
Thessaly slowly began to speak. "I..."
"What's your choice?"
"I'm willing to marry you."
Brandon smiled and asked, "Really?"
"As long as you truly marry me, I'm willing to truly marry you," Thessaly nodded. "The title of Mrs. Walker is indeed very tempting."
"Glad you understand."
Brandon laughed heartily, his laughter echoing in the study.
"Come here," Brandon beckoned. "It appears you possess considerable intellect after all."
Thessaly walked over as he wished.
He pulled her onto his lap, lifting her chin to examine her closely.
"Beautiful, truly beautiful, enough to drive a man crazy," Brandon said. "But tainted... what a pity."
Thessaly retorted, "Regret it? Regret letting Paul have me?"
"A bit. But it's already happened, can't change it, so be it."
Because he would never touch Thessaly.
As for marrying her?
Whether he would or not, that was a matter for later. For now, it was just a promise, not an immediate trip to the courthouse.
The most important thing now was to keep Thessaly's loyalty and trust!
"I've never seen a man as magnanimous as you." Thessaly suddenly raised her hand, hooking it around his neck. "Your woman was raped, and you act like it's nothing. And that person was your subordinate."
Brandon pinched her chin. "Are you blaming me?"
"You treat me like this, and I can't blame you? Can't have my own emotions?"
"Fine, you can."
Thessaly leaned closer, their lips almost touching.
Any closer, and they would kiss!
Brandon's breathing quickened slightly.
After all... Thessaly was a woman, and a beautiful one with a great figure. He couldn't help but be a bit affected.
Because he was a normal man.
This was exactly what Thessaly wanted to see.
Seeing that Brandon's mind was a bit unsettled, she spoke softly, her breath brushing his face.
"That night, did you get Penelope?" Thessaly asked. "I heard Paul ask you in the bathroom, and you were clearly angry. That's not right; you should have been bragging, like Paul bragged about having me."
She raised her hand, poking his chest. "Just like Paul bragged about having me."
Brandon's eyes flickered.
"I just don't like people prying into my privacy," Brandon replied. "What are you thinking?"
Though he had a beauty in his arms, Brandon still had his wits about him, not easily swayed.
Thessaly giggled. "I think you're just being stubborn. If you really had Penelope, tasted the feeling of having the woman you love completely to yourself, why would you marry me?"
"The position of Mrs. Walker would always be vacant, reserved for Penelope."
"And..."
Thessaly's smile grew more seductive, her finger drawing circles on his chest.
Her lips were already touching Brandon's. "You have a cleanliness obsession. You despise that Paul touched me. Every time we kiss, you say you're going to the bathroom, but you're actually rinsing your mouth. You think it's dirty."
"And Penelope... she remains Kelvin's devoted spouse. They spend every night in the master bedroom, whispering sweet nothings, doing all sorts of intimate things, over and over, year after year."
"Penelope even had children, boy and girl twins. A woman who's given birth can't compare to a pure young girl."
The next second, Thessaly's neck tightened.
Brandon's hand was around her throat again!
But he didn't squeeze, just held it loosely. "Thessaly, I really want to snap it right now!"
