Chapter 41: Boasting?

Porta, the Taylor family.
At the insistence of Old Madam Taylor, Shauna, who had a troubled expression on her face, still dialed Damien’s number.
But before Shauna could say anything, a reproachful voice came from the other end of the phone. “What exactly is going on in your family? How could Bruce hit Darius? Darius said that you were there at the time. Why didn’t you stop him?
“Don’t you know that Old Mr. Torres’s birthday is coming up in a few days? How can I put in a good word for you in front of Old Mr. Torres when you stirred up such trouble at this juncture?
“Do you even take my words to heart? You can’t even do such a simple thing properly? What else can I expect from you?!”
The voice from the other end of the phone made Shauna’s expression instantly freeze. Meanwhile, Serena and Freisa, the mother and daughter, laughed sinisterly. Their faces were filled with derision.
At this moment, Shauna was extremely embarrassed, but she still bit the bullet and said, “Damien, it was my fault that Darius got beat up. Bruce beat him up impulsively because he wanted to stand up for me.
“Try to persuade Darius not to make things difficult for Bruce. If he’s angry, I can apologize to him in person.”
Looking at Shauna’s humble attitude, Brianne felt very uncomfortable. If it wasn’t for her, she wouldn’t be in such big trouble.
“In this situation, you still have the heart to plead on behalf of others? You better mind your own business! Don’t cause any more trouble for me!
“You better listen up. I will think of a way to appease Darius. But, you better be on your best behavior. If Darius doesn’t acknowledge you as his stepmother, you can forget about marrying into the Torres family!
Damien said fiercely, “Now, Old Mr. Torres’s birthday celebration is the priority. You better prepare well. I’m hanging up!”
Damien then hung up the phone and left Shauna standing in place with a helpless look on her face. Her eyes gradually reddened.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Taylor family also became strange.
Serena snickered and ridiculed in a sarcastic manner, “See, what did I say? She can’t even handle her own affairs yet still wants to stick her nose in other people’s business. Isn’t she being too big for her britches?”
Freisa also mocked, “That’s right, Auntie. I’m not going to help you with this matter. You could have chosen anyone to help, yet you’re helping this jinx. Now, you’re even putting yourself in harm’s way.”
“I…” Shauna looked aggrieved, but she didn’t know how to defend herself.
At this time, Brianne couldn’t help but look at Bruce for help. She lowered her voice and said, “Bruce, Auntie is doing this to help us. Can we help her?”
However, after saying this, Brianne felt a little regretful.
Bruce couldn’t even protect himself now. How could he help Shauna?
However, Brianne didn’t expect Bruce to stand up at this time. He said to Shauna in assurance, “Auntie, don’t worry. I really don’t care about the Torres family.
If they want to cause trouble for me, you can push all the blame onto me. If they dare to cause trouble, I will make them suffer.”
As soon as he said this, the entire Taylor family burst into laughter.
Serena shot Bruce a disdainful glance as she said, “Stop bragging in this situation. Do you really think that anyone will believe your words?
Not to mention the Torres family, you can’t even protect yourself from Mark. Do you really think that after you beat him up today, he will let it go? Dream on!”
When Freisa heard this, she also echoed, “That’s right. That’s right. Jinx, you just got out of prison and have already caused so much trouble for our family. Now, you still dare to boast shamelessly here?
Hehe… it’ll be good enough if you can keep your own affairs in check. Do you really think that you’re great just because you can fight? A person like you should live in prison for the rest of your life.”
Not to mention Bruce, but even Brianne became indignant when she heard it.
However, Brianne knew that she couldn’t let Bruce hit people anymore. Otherwise, the matter would be even more difficult to deal with.
Therefore, Brianne immediately stopped Bruce from hitting anyone.
Bruce smiled faintly. In fact, he had never thought of hitting people.
Following that, Bruce stood in front of everyone and said slowly, “If the Richards family wants to cause trouble, just let them come. I, Bruce, will take any number of people that come!”
“Stop bluffing! Stop bluffing!!!” When Old Madam Taylor heard this, she was instantly enraged. In this kind of situation, Bruce still dared to speak so arrogantly?
In the face of her reprimand, Bruce only replied indifferently, “I will naturally resolve the troubles of the Richards family and the Torres family. However, if you dare to touch my foster father’s ashes, I will bury all of you together with my foster father!”
After saying this, Bruce ignored the objections of the Taylor family members and directly pulled Brianne away from the Taylor family.
Although the Taylor family members were furious, they were all afraid of Bruce’s combative strength. Therefore, no one dared to stop him.
After leaving the Taylor family, Brianne still felt a little uneasy. “Bruce, is it really okay for us to leave like this? Why don’t you go out and hide? I’m afraid…”
Before Brianne could finish her sentence, Bruce interrupted her with a smile. “Silly girl, no matter what happens, I have your back. Moreover, the next time the Richards family comes, they might not come to find trouble. Perhaps, they will be here to apologize?”
Hearing this, Brianne couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him with bitterness. She said peevishly, “Bruce, I found that after you came back this time, you like to brag more and more.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Bruce smiled and continued to say, “I don’t think the Richards family are unreasonable people. Perhaps, they will come to their senses later?”
Brianne sulkily rolled her eyes at him again. Then, she followed him and headed towards the hotel with worry.
On the way to the hotel, Bruce fiddled with his phone and sent a message to Kirin, “Ask Albert to apologize to the Taylor family tomorrow!”
On the other side, after Kirin received the message, he handed it to Howard.
Kirin knew that Bruce valued Howard and wanted to help him. In that case, it was better to leave such an opportunity for Howard so that he could gain some experience.
After Howard saw the news, he looked at Kirin gratefully and immediately took out his phone to give Rica a call.
“Rica, there’s something I need you to do personally. Tomorrow, I want to see Albert’s family personally apologize to the Taylor family.”
After Howard made the call, he let out a sigh of relief and broke out in cold sweat as he said, “Kirin, was what I said okay?”
“Well done. Keep it up. Remember, you don’t have to be too polite with them. It’s their fortune to be able to work for you,” Kirin said calmly.
Howard nodded heavily when he heard this. On the other side, Rica immediately gathered her people after receiving the news.
After many investigations, Rica had already made some guesses about Bruce’s identity.
She knew very clearly that being able to work for such a big shot was something that many people dreamed of doing.
Therefore, she had to be very careful with everything that the big shot instructed her to do. She had to get it done perfectly.
This was definitely a great opportunity for her to rise up. She might even be able to follow this big shot and do something even bigger in the future!
According to Rica’s guess, this big shot was very likely from the Taylor family. This was because what happened last night and today had something to do with the Taylor family.
The Taylor family was just an upper-middle class family in Porta. They definitely didn’t have that much ability. The only possible person was Bruce, who had been in prison for five years!
After figuring this out, Rica immediately gathered more than a hundred people.
The mighty team headed straight for the Richards family.
On the other side, after Mark suffered a setback at the Taylor family, he went straight to the hospital to get a cast. However, he had been brooding over what had happened during the day.
He had suffered two losses at the hands of the same person in a row.. This was hard for him to accept. Therefore, once he was discharged from the hospital, he cursed, “D*mn it! Let’s go home! This time, we must get Southern Dart’s people to teach Bruce a good lesson!”
