Cinderella And Her Beautiful Octuplets
Chapter 117

Chapter 117

Brandon's car screeched to a halt in front of his company. Brandon alighted the car and gave the key to his security to park the car in the parking lot.

He walked inside the company and went straight to his office. Immediately he entered his office, he dropped his phone and removed his suit jacket which he hung on his chair and then sat down. He hadn't seen Liam since he arrived, he wondered where he had gone.

He heard a knock on the door, the door opened and Brandon's secretary walked in holding some files in his hands.

"Sir, I need you to sign these papers," he said and Brandon asked him to drop the Papers on the table.

"Where's Liam?" He asked

"He had gone to meet up with Mr Holland to make the contract official," he said and Brandon muttered an oh.

He remembered asking Liam to meet up with Holland instead of him and Hannah.

Just then the door opened revealing Micheal Addams.

"I'll send it for you when I'm done signing the papers," Brandon said to his secretary who nodded in response and then walked out of the office.

"Mr. Micheal" Brandon muttered as he stood up and shook hands with Micheal, who gave him a small smile.

"Please sit," he said and they both sat down.

"You said you found the killer," Brandon said as he adjusted himself on his chair and Micheal nodded in response.

He brought out his laptop which was inside the bag he brought.

He switched it on and then raised his head.

"I retrieved all Rhoda's phone calls. Turns out she talked to a lot of people a few days before she died and Liam was part of the people he called" he paused as he played a video on his laptop and turned the screen towards Brandon. "What's this?" Brandon asked as he watched the video

"It's CCTV footage that was retrieved from Rhoda's house. It happens that the person on that footage was the last person to be seen in Rhoda's house before Hannah came and found her dead" Micheal said and Brandon stared at Micheal for some minutes before zooming in the video.

"That car looks familiar," Brandon said

"That's because it's your Pa's car," Micheal said and Brandon paused.

"We were only able to get the CCTV footage from outside the compound and not the one from inside the house.

I guess the person who deleted it, forgot to wipe out the one from the outside" Micheal said and Brandon kept staring at the video.

He saw Liam's car drive inside Rhoda's compound and he alighted the car. He walked inside her house and came out a few minutes later with some files in his hands.

He then went back inside and when he came out again, he was in a rush.

Brandon closed the laptop and turned to Micheal.

"What are you implying with this?" Brandon asked

"Nothing, but from my investigation, I know Rhoda and Liam were childhood friends or rather childhood neighbors: and Liam was the last person to see Rhoda before she died, unless you want to say Hannah was the one who killed her. Why don't you ask Liam, where was he on November 13, 8;56AM, because he wasn't at this company at that time.

He arrived at the company, 10:59 am. Your secretary can attest to that too" Micheal said as he put the laptop In his bag.

"You can confirm if you feel I'm lying to you," Micheal said and Brandon stared at him and then brought out his phone and called his secretary.

He asked him when Liam had arrived at the office on November 13 and he said the exact time Micheal said.

He ended the call and then dropped the phone on the table.

"I guess you already know the answers to all your problems, I will be on my way now," Micheal said and stood up, he carried his bag and walked towards the door. Immediately Micheal was about to walk out of the office, the door opened revealing Liam.

"Hello, Liam" Michael smiled at him

"Micheal Addams, I didn't know you would be coming over today," Liam said as they both shook hands.

Micheal shrugged and then gave Brandon one last stare before walking out of the office.

Liam sighed and walked fully inside the office, closing the door behind him.

"I signed the contract already, it's official, we are partners with Holland's group of the company," Liam said as he dropped a copy of the contract on the table. "Where were you on November 13, 8:56 AM?" Brandon asked and Liam stared at him confused.

Why was he asking? That day was the day Rhoda had died. He felt his heartbeat increase at once.

"I was at your house and I went to the company from there. I arrived at the company at exactly 8;56 Am" Liam said and Brandon stared at him speechlessly. "How long have we known each other, Liam?" Brandon asked calmly.

"Over 15 years and counting," Liam said in response

"How dare you look in my face and lie to me," Brandon said looking so angry. It was then Liam knew he had been caught.

He just had to tell the truth.

"I can explain, Brandon," Liam said and Brandon scoffed.

"You!! You fucking killed Rhoda. Damn! Now it all makes sense to me. This was the reason you had her phone with you!

And You also knew Rhoda wasn't the girl who I had raped in the past, you set me up!" Brandon paused as he felt hot tears gathered in his eyes.

He's never felt the pain he is feeling now. He felt betrayed.

Liam wasn't just a friend to him anymore, he was family and he did this to him.

"Brandon, I can explain, please. It was self-defense, she had kidnapped Jayden, and when I found out she tried to kill me. I didn't mean to kill her, it was a mistake " Liam said as tears also gathered in his eyes.

"You stood there and watched me accuse *My Wife* of killing Rhoda.

You stood there and watched me let the police take her away.

You stood and watched all this happen" Brandon said looking so angry. It wasn't just anger he felt, he felt sad, disappointed, and betrayed at the same time. The mixture of these feelings made him feel like he was going to explode.. He turned away from Liam and bit his lips trying to hold the tears that were threatening to spill out of his eyes.

Swiftly he turned to him.

"It was you right? You were the one who called Hannah and made everything look like it was her who did it?" Brandon asked

"Yes.... I....."

"Oh please shut up! Just shut the f*ck up!" Brandon said between gritted teeth and suddenly he gave him a punch on his nose making him bleed.

"Brandon please I....." his speech was cut off with another punch on his nose and he staggered backward.

"You murdered her and made it look like she did it.

You let me stand and watch the police take the mother of my kids away when it was supposed to be you!!! Bastard!" Brandon yelled and gave him another punch in his mouth.

This time, the whole company wondered what was happening in Brandon's office.

Liam fell to the ground and Brandon started punching him non-stop, but just then the door burst open revealing Hannah.

"Brandon!" Hannah called and pushed him away from Liam. She then held Brandon.

"Can't you see he's bleeding? You are going to kill him" Hannah yelled.
