Husband plans to kill me Chapter 52

Brandon sat down, his face cold: "As long as you know."

Kathy rolled her eyes and said nothing.

She turned her head to me and said, "I thought you had to take Brett tomorrow morning, so I quickly brought your car back. Am I considerate?"

I nodded, pretending to be helpless: "Considerate."

Brandon said quietly, "I also have a car to take Brett."

Kathy shrugged helplessly: "Look at Brandon, I interrupted him once, and this is how he treats me."

I didn't say anything, just gave Brandon a helpless smile.

Kathy tilted her head back and finished her coffee in one gulp, then stood up: "Alright, I brought the car back, so I'll leave now and not disturb you."

She looked at me: "Will you walk me out?"

I nodded, got up, and followed her.

Brandon wanted to follow, but I pretended to be considerate and straightened his collar: "You go rest, aren't you tired? I'll walk Kathy out."

Brandon had no reason to follow, so he nodded, glanced at Kathy, and then went upstairs.

As I walked Kathy out, she looked around to make sure Shirley and Brandon weren't following, then eagerly said.

"I just found out something. I had a friend at the bank check your properties and other assets, and they've all been mortgaged by Brandon."

"Brandon is trying to transfer all your assets!"

I kept a calm face: "Kathy, did you find the lawyer I asked you to find last time? I want to meet with him. I suspect that my shares in the company have also been transferred by Brandon."

Kathy nodded: "I found one a long time ago, a lawyer from Regal City. Brandon couldn't possibly know him."

Kathy was very reliable, and I nodded in relief.

But just then, Kathy suddenly said: "No, Caroline, smile quickly, Brandon is watching us from the second floor!"

I quickly smiled with Kathy, as if we were talking about something happy.

"Alright, tell me when you're free, and I'll bring the lawyer over."

I nodded, smiling as I thanked Kathy.

She patted my shoulder and laughed: "Why are you thanking me for such a small thing?"

Then she suddenly said: "By the way, no matter what excuse you use, don't have sex with Brandon. I suspect he has a disease."

I nodded. Kathy didn't need to tell me that. Just thinking about him having sex with so many women made me feel sick, so of course, I wouldn't comply with him.

After Kathy left, I went upstairs.

Brandon asked me: "What were you two talking about? You seemed so happy, I could hear your laughter from upstairs."

I knew he was lying because Kathy and I were fake laughing. He must have just seen us.

"It was about something that happened when she was making custom clothes for someone. I thought it was funny."

"Then tell me about it."

Brandon insisted, looking at me.

I smiled: "It's just women's stuff. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

I kept a neutral expression, and Brandon stared at me for a long time, as if trying to determine if I was lying.

After a while, he finally looked away: "Fine, don't tell me. I'm going to sleep, Caroline."

Hearing that he wasn't continuing his previous behavior, I quietly sighed in relief and turned to lie down.

I was planning to find a time to meet the lawyer Kathy had arranged for me. I needed to get all the facts straight to feel confident.

Thinking about it, I actually fell asleep. When I woke up, Brandon was still sleeping. He must have been really tired, his brows furrowed tightly.

Before leaving, I took the kids downstairs.

I handed the kids to Shirley and said: "I'm going out to buy some groceries for Brandon. He's in a bad mood and exhausted today, so I want to make something he likes for dinner."

Shirley hadn't seen the kids in a while. Normally, grocery shopping was her job, but she nodded, wanting to take care of the kids: "You go ahead, Mrs. Jordan."

After leaving, I breathed a sigh of relief and headed straight to the bank with the documents I had secretly taken.

I suspected that the money in our joint account had also been transferred by Brandon.

Sure enough, when I checked, there was hardly any money left in the joint account. I knew Brandon wouldn't leave that money untouched.

I was shaking with anger. Brandon and I used to manage our own money separately. Later, Brandon suggested we save a fund for the kids' future, so we opened this account and started depositing money together.

Although Brandon's deposits were only one percent of mine each time, I never complained about him earning less.

After Brett was born, I gradually stepped back, and Brandon's deposits increased while mine decreased.

I withdrew some money and went to the supermarket to buy groceries.

When I got back, Brandon was already awake. He seemed to have just taken a shower, his hair still wet, sitting on the couch looking at me.

"You could have let Shirley buy the groceries. Why did you go yourself?"

I shook my head and silently sat on the couch.

Brandon glanced at me and asked what I bought.

I didn't answer, just put the groceries on the floor for him to see.

Brandon sensed something was wrong and quickly asked: "Caroline, what's wrong?"

I finally looked at him, genuinely angry but also acting.

"I want to know, where did the money in our account go?"

Brandon was stunned, looking at me suspiciously: "Why did you check the account out of the blue?"

I sneered: "I didn't have any money on me, so I went to the bank to withdraw some. I thought I'd check how much we had saved for the kids, but I saw a large sum missing. I want to know where the money went."

There was a dashcam in the car, and knowing Brandon's cautious nature, I had to be open about my actions, or he would definitely be suspicious.

As expected, Brandon looked a bit flustered, then quickly regained his composure.

"I just didn't tell you. A while ago, a payment didn't come through, so I used the money in our account to buy equipment. I planned to transfer it back once the payment arrived."

I frowned slightly: "Why didn't you tell me about something so important? You were the one who said this money was for the kids and that no one could touch it."

Seeing that I was genuinely angry, Brandon said: "Caroline, don't be mad. I'll urge them to settle the payment right away. I know the kids' money is untouchable. I was just in a bind and didn't want to worry you, so I used it secretly. Don't worry, I'll get the payment back in a few days."

I frowned at him: "Really?"

"Of course, I wouldn't touch the kids' money!"

"It better be that way. I'll check the bank in a few days to see if you've transferred it back." I said coldly.
