Uh..
Bruce froze for a moment before he hurriedly said, “It was my aunt who told me.”
Aunt?
Brianne was puzzled for a moment before she revealed a relieved expression. However, her pretty face soon showed a trace of worry that couldn’t be dispelled.
“Bruce, Father’s company has probably been taken away by the Hugo Group. It will be very difficult to take it back now.
Fortunately, the people from the Hugo Group didn’t pursue the matter today. Otherwise, things would have been difficult to resolve.
“You can’t let the people from the Taylor family find out. Otherwise, they will make a big fuss again,” Brianne reminded him earnestly.
Then, she continued to say, “Let’s not go back to the Taylor family tomorrow.”
However, the truth came out eventually. What Brianne was most worried about began to play out in the Taylor family the next morning.
..
The next morning, no one in the Taylor family went to the company. They all stayed at home.
At this moment, everyone’s faces were filled with gloom and apprehension.
The stern-looking Old Madam Taylor held onto her walking stick and said emotionally, “Serena? Is your new source accurate? Did Brianne really bring that kid to the Freeman family’s auction? She even offended people from the Hugo Group?”
When Old Madam Taylor said this, her entire body was trembling, as if she had seen the end of the world. Her expression was filled with despair.
The Hugo Group!
The supreme existence of the business world in Porta. The Taylor family was like an ant when compared with them.
Brianne actually dared to bring Bruce to provoke them. Wasn’t this digging their own graves?
Upon hearing this, Serena hurriedly said, “Grandma, this is absolutely true. A friend of mine at the Freeman family’s auction told me personally. He was at the auction venue at that time.
“He saw Bruce beat up one of Hugo’s relatives with his own eyes. This incident even alarmed Hugo.”
What!?
They even alarmed Hugo!?
Old Madam Taylor trembled and could barely sit still. Bean-sized beads of sweat continuously dripped down from her forehead.
She was more than 70 years old, and at this moment, she was so frightened that she didn’t know what to do.
If offending the people from the Hugo Group was enough to cause her a lot of trouble, then offending Hugo himself was simply the end of the world.
People like Hugo, not to mention the Taylor family, but even the Simmons family and the Torres family, who the Taylor family wanted to curry favor with, were insignificant people in front of him.
Bruce, this b*stard, was so bold to actually even alarm Hugo.
What should she do now?
If Hugo were to get angry and the Taylor family was dragged in, then wouldn’t the entire Taylor family be buried with Bruce?
“No, no, we can’t let anything happen to the Taylor family. Quick, go draft a statement and publish it in the newspaper. I want the whole of Porta to know that the Taylor family has nothing to do with Bruce!” Old Madam Taylor instructed agitatedly.
When Serena heard this, she immediately buttered up and said, “Okay grandma, I’m now…”
“Wait!”
At this moment, Shauna walked out with a frown. When Serena saw her, she felt her anger burning. She said rudely, “Auntie, you still want to protect him in this situation?
Do you know how much trouble that b*stard has caused the Taylor family this time? Not to mention that you can’t protect him, but even if you involve the Torres family, you still might not be able to protect him.
“Moreover, with your current status in the Torres family, would the Torres family offend the Hugo Group for a nobody like you?”
When Shauna heard this, her pretty face had a gloomy expression. However, she still said bluntly, “Mom, we don’t know the details yet, and the Hugo Group hasn’t said anything.
“They might have really alarmed Hugo yesterday. However, isn’t everything fine now?
“I think we should let Brianne and Bruce come back and hear what they have to say. Who knows, there might be more to the story?”
Old Madam Taylor fell silent after hearing this, but at this moment, Serena sneered and said, “Auntie, aren’t you a little too naive?
“My friend said that he saw Bruce beat him up with his own eyes. Although he didn’t see what happened afterward, Hugo’s presence at the scene is an indisputable fact.
“Doesn’t that explain everything? You’re actually still protecting him now? Do you want the Taylor family to be buried with him?”
Shauna frowned when she heard that, but she still said firmly, “That’s just your friend’s account. If things are really like what he said, would the Hugo Group still be keeping silent now?
“Would you be able to complain here? Would the Taylor family be able to sit here peacefully?”
“You!” Serena was instantly rendered speechless by Shauna’s words.
“Enough! Make a call immediately! Tell Brianne to bring that b*stard back together!”
At this time, Old Madam Taylor interrupted the argument between the two of them and asked someone to call Brianne back.
Not long after, Brianne received the news. Originally, she wanted to go to the Hugo Group to try her luck, but she didn’t expect to receive such devastating news early in the morning.
“Bruce, get up quickly. Something big has happened. Grandma knows about yesterday’s incident. Bruce, open the door quickly…”
Brianne, who was groggy, rushed to Bruce’s room and knocked on his door.
However, after Bruce heard the story, he remained calm, as if he wasn’t worried at all.
“Since they want to hear my explanation, I’ll give them an explanation. I’ll settle the score with them!” Bruce’s gaze turned cold as he said.
Brianne was so anxious that she didn’t know what to say when she saw his nonchalant look.
Then, Bruce brought her, who was at a loss, back to the Taylor family.
At this moment, everyone in the Taylor family was immersed in a grim atmosphere. As soon as she heard the sound of the door opening, Serena took the lead and walked out.
“Good, you guys are finally back. You’ve barged in so…”
Serena was about to say something, but in the next moment, she was slapped by Bruce. Serena instantly became confused.
“Bruce, how could you…” Brianne was about to speak, but Bruce said to her, “I know what happened at the company that day. I helped you return this slap to her.”
Brianne’s eyes couldn’t help but well up with tears when she heard this.
“Bruce!!!” Serena, who was in a wretched state, covered her face and gritted her teeth as she glared at Bruce.
Bruce looked at her indifferently as he said, “The next time you dare to hit my sister, I’ll chop off your hand!”
After saying this, Bruce brought Brianne into the Taylor family.
As soon as they entered, Brianne could feel the pressure in the air.
The Taylor family members, led by Old Madam Taylor, looked like they were interrogating criminals. They stared at them with an extremely disgusted gaze.
Brianne’s heart turned cold when she saw this scene.
“Brianne! Tell me honestly. Did you go to the Freeman family’s auction yesterday? This…” Old Madam Taylor glanced at Bruce fearfully as soon as the words ‘b*stard’ left her mouth.
Then, she continued to say sulkily, “Did he beat up the people from the Hugo Group? Did he also alert Hugo!?”
Tell me! Tell me all the details of what happened yesterday word by word! Tell me clearly!
If you dare to hide anything, I guarantee that you will never see your father’s ashes again!”
