“That was only a dream.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Dreams don’t be reality.


    You will have a long life.


    ” Brady assured her, stroking her hand gently.


    His eyes were downcast, masking his true feelings.


    Suddenly, Rachel clung to Brady more tightly and began to sob.


    “But it felt so real.


    Brady, am I dying? I don’t want to leave you! Let’s consult the director of Baywell Hospital.


    He’s highly skilled and a friend of Grandpa’s.


    He must be able to help!”


    Brady’s expression darkened as he looked down at Rachel, unseen by her.


    “Don’t think like that,” he said softly,forting her by rubbing her shoulder.


    “Dr.


    Hughes Benton is a top specialist I brought in from overseas.


    If he can’t help you, no one can.


    Besides, it’s just amon headache.


    I’ll have Dr.


    Benton visit you more frequently, and you’ll start to feel better soon.


    Jordan is getting old.


    Let’s not worry him.


    ”


    “But…” Rachel looked up at him, her gaze lingering on his strong jawline.


    She began to speak but he gently cut her off.


    “By the way, did you receive the invitation to the Walsh Group’s celebration?” Brady helped Rachel sit up morefortably and asked.


    “Yes.


    ” Rachel avoided making eye contact as she spoke.


    “Jordan doesn’t invite me, does he?” Brady knew Rachel too well.


    From her demeanor, he understood everything.


    Rachel leaned against the headboard, looking at him with a hint ofint.


    “If you hadn’t taken the big project away from Domenic’spany, my father wouldn’t be so upset with you.


    He wouldn’t have barred you from the event and allowed only me to attend alone.


    ”


    Upon hearing this, Brady scoffed, stood up from the bed, and looked down at her.


    “In business, you earn what you win.


    The Walsh Group is dealing with internal conflicts abroad, and the Vitality Group is poorly managed.


    Our partners chose to work with me because they were worried about instability in the Walsh Group.


    In the past, the Lawson Group often passed good projects to the Walsh Group out of respect for your grandfather.


    But as CEO of the Lawson Group, I must look out for our family andpany.


    Rachel, as my wife, you should appreciate the effort I put in.


    These projects might affect the Vitality Group, but they mean little to the entire Walsh Group.


    Yet, Jordan has chosen not to invite me to the banquet but only sends you the invitation.


    Clearly, he intends to disgrace me.


    If you attend, I’ll be disrespected by the entire businessmunity!”


    Seeing Brady’s irritation, Rachel realized he was right.


    The Lawson Group had always been overshadowed by the Walsh Group, so his frustration was understandable.


    As the darling of the Walsh family, she should have brought more advantages to the Lawson Group after their marriage.


    However, she detested business conflicts and refrained from getting involved.


    That was why she hadn’t contributed much to the Lawson Group.


    But Brady had been patient all these years and had never demanded more from her.

    Library


    Her father had crossed the line this time.


    They were family and should face challenges together, yet he had silently stripped Brady of his right to attend the event, aiming to undermine him.


    As his wife, she knew he ought to support him.


    “Brady, don’t be upset.


    ” Rachel tugged at his sleeve and said soothingly, “I’LL talk to Dad again.


    If he won’t allow you to attend, then I won’t go either!”


    Brady narrowed his eyes and responded, “No one can overturn your father’s decision.


    You don’t need to beg him, as if I made you do it.


    I’ve decided not to go this time.


    ”


    “Fine, I won’t go either!” Rachel bit her lip and leaned back.


    “This is outrageous! Domenic is his grandson, but aren’t we his family too? We’ve tolerated his unequal treatment for years, but this is pure revenge.


    We can’t just ept it!”


    Brady smiled faintly at Rachel’s deration.


    Sitting closer, he gently squeezed her shoulder.


    “Thank you, Rachel.


    I’m sorry you’ve had to endure this.


    ”


    Rachel leaned into him.


    “Since our wedding day, you’ve had my whole heart.


    No one loves you more.


    Promise you’ll never leave or betray me.


    ”


    Brady’s brown eyes narrowed slightly.


    His voice was cryptic.


    “Of course… I won’t.


    ”


    His gaze drifted to the drawer containing the invitation.


    Two dayster, Brady ryed the invitation to Sumner, who then forwarded Lindsey’s contact information.


    But he had kept the truth about his leg injury hidden during his interactions with Brady.
