Chapter 66 - Shauna Says, I’ll Leave with You!
Chapter 66: Shauna Says, I’ll Leave with You!
After Old Madam Taylor heard these words, she was also shaking with anger.
“D*mn girl! Tell me! Is what Serena said true or not? Did you really just get lucky and take advantage of the Simmons family!?”
Old Madam Taylor stood with her cane and questioned with an inquisitive tone.
Brianne was frozen in place when she heard these words. She didn’t have a clue about this matter either.
She also didn’t know whether things were really the same as Serena said.
On the other hand, seeing Brianne’s weak and helpless appearance, Shauna felt a sense of heartache.
At this point, she finally couldn’t help but stand up for Brianne and say, “Mom, it doesn’t matter whether it’s luck or whether she took advantage of the Simmons family.
Now, Brianne has cleared Taylor Co.’s debt to Draco and brought Taylor Co. more than thirty channel traders, right?
Mom, Zeke, Freisa, ask yourselves in conscience is this really just luck!?”
“Nonsense! Shauna! How dare you talk to Mom that way! What kind of attitude is that?” Zeke questioned in a stern voice.
At this moment, Old Madam Taylor was so angry that her breathing became rapid after she heard Shauna’s words.
But Shauna remained firm and said, “Zeke, it’s not that I have to talk like this, but what you have done is too over the top!
Ask yourselves in your conscience, without our brother, would you still be standing here talking nonsense?
Wouldn’t your conscience hurt if you did this to Brianne?”
Shauna knew very well that, indeed, Keith defied everyone back then to support Bruce’s business venture and caused the Taylors family to get implicated.
But what about before that? Have they all forgotten? Without Keith’s sole support, the Taylors family would have collapsed!
Now, they are pressuring Brianne so much and making things so difficult for Brianne. This family, at this moment, really made Shauna feel chilled to the bone.
“Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!!!” Old Madam Taylor was annoyed and angry.
But Shauna continued, as if she hadn’t heard anything at all, “Today, if you don’t acknowledge what Brianne has done, then I won’t try to please the Torres family either!”
“No, please don’t do this for me…” Brianne looked at Shauna with teary eyes. Although grateful, she also felt immensely guilty.
But then Shauna turned around and comforted her saying, “Silly child, it’s okay. If they dare to kick you out today, I’ll leave with you!”
Old Madam Taylor looked at Shauna in disbelief, “Shauna, you!”
“Mom, my mind is made up. If you really dare to do this, from today onwards, I won’t be the daughter of the Taylors family!” Shauna replied with a firm look in her eyes.
Old Madam Taylor’s expression became ugly.
At this point, Freisa saw this and said with a snort, “I know you want to defend her, but don’t you forget.
She and that b*stard agreed to three conditions, but are they completed yet? But now she’s already talking about returning to the Taylors family?
You think you’re so great when you just got lucky once? Let’s talk about returning to the Taylors family after she has completed the last condition, or do you want to help her backtrack?”
Faced with Freisa’s gloomy remarks, Shauna immediately tried to retort, but was stopped by Brianne.
“Aunt, you have done enough for me. They are right, and now that I have agreed to it, I will finish the last condition so that they have nothing to say!” Brianne urged.
Shauna gave Brianne a distressed look and knew that this silly girl was very tough, but how could it be easy to get National Flower Company back from the Freeman family?
While Shauna was feeling sorry for Brianne, Old Madam Taylor also said, “Enough, stop arguing!
Brianne, you have only fulfilled two conditions and are not qualified to return to the Taylors family!
And you, Shauna, don’t forget the responsibility you carry. Currently, the Taylors family is in decline, and the Simmons family and the Torres family are our important supporters!
If you keep fooling around, not only will I throw Keith’s ashes into the river, I will also freeze all your accounts, and don’t you forget, you have a daughter to raise!”
When she heard this, Shauna’s expression turned grim. She had a daughter with Damien, and she was a few months older than Darius.
However, she never thought that Old Madam Taylor would use this matter to blackmail her.
At this moment, Shauna felt even more strongly that there was nothing to cherish about this family.
If it weren’t for the fact that she could give her daughter a proper name, she really wouldn’t want to stay here and continue to help them please the Torres family.
“I don’t want to see them again. Freisa, help me go back!” Old Madam Taylor didn’t look at Shauna and them anymore, and directly walked out of the office and left Taylor Co.
Seeing Old Madam Taylor leave, Serena sneered and mocked ungraciously, “What, you’re not leaving yet? Waiting for me to treat you to dinner?
Do you really think you are invincible after signing a few channels? When the Simmons family has settled their relationship with Northern Paul, do you think these channels will still be yours?”
Serena’s bruised and battered face was filled with mean-spiritedness.
Brianne pursed her lips and whirled to leave Taylor Co. directly and returned to the hotel.
Brianne laughed and shook her head without choosing to say anything. Bruce saw this and sent a text message directly to Shauna to ask about what happened today.
Just as Bruce had finished texting, Brianne said worriedly, “Bruce, with all the money we have on hand right now, I’m afraid …”
She knew that the only way to give herself and her aunt a chance to fight is to complete this last condition as soon as possible.
And this last condition was also the one that stressed Brianne the most.
When Bruce started his business, he needed a lot of money, and in order to support him, Keith sold some of the Taylors family’s assets at a low price.
Among them was the National Flower Company, which he mortgaged to the Freeman family at a low price.
When the National Flower Company was mortgaged, the valuation of the National Flower Company had reached five to six million.
However, the Freeman family joined forces with several other companies to squeeze the price, plus at that time, Keith was anxious to get cash for Bruce, so he had to mortgage the National Flower Company for one million.
Now, Brianne only had the $5 million that Old Madam Taylor gave her yesterday to pay off her debt.
But no matter what, Brianne wanted to give it a try. This was her last chance.
She found out last night that the Freeman family would be holding an auction tomorrow to sell National Flower Company for cash.
If she missed the opportunity tomorrow, it would be even more difficult to get back the National Flower Company.
Seeing Brianne’s glum expression, Bruce said, “It’s okay. I’ll go with you tomorrow and we’ll get Dad’s company back.”
“I hope so.” Brianne smiled bitterly when she heard these words. She had no confidence at all, but she didn’t know that Bruce had already instructed Hugo to arrange everything.
…
The next morning, the two of them came to the site of the auction.
But just as they arrived at the site and were about to enter, they were stopped by a figure.
“Brianne?”
A voice familiar to Brianne rang out, and immediately after, a well-suited, slightly smarmy-looking figure appeared directly in front of them. There was a playful look on the man’s face.
Fabian White?
When she saw this person, Brianne immediately frowned.
Fabian White was her senior in college and two years older than her. He once pursued her and confessed his love to her at an event in front of thousands of classmates, but she rejected him.
If it wasn’t for his father, Graham White, collaborating with the Freeman family, how could the Freeman family have known about the buyers, and how could they have taken advantage of the Freeman family?
And Graham White succeeded in currying favor with the Freeman family through such dirty tricks, and became the vice president of National Flower Company.
Brianne heard that after Fabian White graduated, his father Graham White personally arranged for him to join the National Flower Company, and once he joined, he got the position of department manager.
However, Brianne didn’t expect to meet him here.
And from the look on Fabian’s face at this time, it was clear that his intentions weren’t good, and she was afraid that if she wanted to enter the auction today, it wouldn’t be that easy.
