Chapter 523

Brandon's car made it to the construction site just in the nick of time. He hit the brakes hard as the site plunged into darkness, bringing the car to an abrupt halt.

Theresa, who'd been on the verge of dozing off, was jolted awake by the sudden stop. Confused, she looked towards the dark construction site and called out tentatively, "Daddy?"

Brandon pulled up the handbrake and started unfastening his seatbelt as he turned to look at her, "Theresa, stay in the car with your godmother and Grace while Daddy goes to find Mommy, okay?"

Theresa shook her head frantically, fear in her eyes, "No, I want to go with Daddy to find Mommy."

"It's raining outside, and it's too dark in there. It could be dangerous, and Daddy won't be able to keep an eye on you. Be a good girl and wait here with your godmother and auntie."

Brandon's voice was gentle, but it carried an undertone of firmness that wasn't to be argued with. He then looked over at Susan and Grace, "I'm counting on you to look after Theresa. I'm going to check things out."

Susan and Grace nodded in unison, "Of course."
