Chapter 73: Hugo Will Actually Thank You?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Porta, Taylor family.
Faced with Old Madam Taylor’s questioning, Brianne’s entire body shivered. She immediately said with a troubled expression, “Grandma, it was me…”
“I beat him. It had nothing to do with Brianne.”
Just as Brianne was about to take the blame, Bruce interrupted Brianne.
“Bruce… you?” Brianne looked at Bruce with a bitter expression and immediately said to Old Madam Taylor, “Grandma, it’s not like that. You can’t blame my brother completely for this.
“That person from the Hugo Group deliberately gave us a hard time. He didn’t let us participate in the auction and even spoke to us rudely.
“Bruce hit him to protect me.”
Upon hearing these words, Old Madam Taylor flew into a rage.
She didn’t care what the story was. She only cared that Bruce had indeed beaten up someone from the Hugo Group!
“B*stard! You’re simply too out of line! Are people from the Hugo Group people someone like you can beat up? Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused?!” Old Madam Taylor knocked the walking stick on the floor fiercely as she reprimanded him.
However, Bruce remained calm and asked, “Why? Do I need your permission to beat someone up?”
“You! You b * stard! You b * stard!” As soon as Bruce said this, Old Madam Taylor was so infuriated that she wished she could immediately kick Bruce out.
“Grandma, look at this guy’s attitude. He doesn’t have the slightest bit of remorse. I think it’s better to release the statement as soon as possible so as not to implicate the Taylor family.” Serena, who had just been slapped by Bruce, said in a sarcastic tone.
“Mom, I also think that Serena is right. We can’t let him tarnish the Taylor family’s reputation. If the Hugo Group comes looking for us, we’ll have to clean up their mess,” Freisa also chimed in.
When she heard Serena and Freisa’s words, Brianne was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. She hurriedly advised, “Bruce, apologize to Grandma quickly. Otherwise, if the Hugo Group really comes looking for us, we…”
Brianne had just opened her mouth to persuade Bruce when he immediately smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Didn’t you see Hugo’s attitude yesterday?
Not only will he not blame me, but on the contrary, he will even thank me.”
“Really… really?” Brianne looked at Bruce dubiously and was a little worried.
But at this time, when Serena and the others heard Bruce’s words, they immediately sneered.
“Did I hear you wrong? You actually said that Hugo won’t blame you?” Serena snickered, as if she had heard a joke.
When Freisa heard this, she sneered as well. She said sarcastically, “It’s too early in the morning to be bluffing.”
Hugo will actually thank you? Are you daydreaming?
Silly child, if you’re really not in your right mind, then go to the mental hospital to see a doctor. Don’t embarrass yourself here.”
Hahaha..
The sarcastic laughter of Freisa and her daughter instantly echoed throughout the Taylor family.
Bang bang bang!
Old Madam Taylor’s walking stick hit the floor again, and then she gave Bruce a fierce glare. “You’re full of nonsense! You want Hugo to thank you? On what basis?”
Bruce smiled indifferently, and then said breezily, “On what basis? On the basis that I helped him educate his subordinates, on the basis that I helped him get rid of a scourge, and on the basis that he doesn’t dare to provoke me!”
When Bruce said the three reasons in a row, he exuded a strong sense of confidence that impressed people.
However, it was obvious that the people of the Taylor family didn’t think so.
Now, unless Hugo himself stood in front of them and said so, they wouldn’t believe Bruce no matter what.
“Grandma, let’s not waste time with a bullsh*tter like him. He doesn’t speak the truth and it’s as if it’ll kill him not to brag.” Serena glared at Bruce coldly.
“Mom, Serena is right. Let’s hurry up and announce that we have nothing to do with him. The most important thing is to drive Brianne out of the Taylor family so that we won’t be implicated,” Freisa suggested.
When Old Madam Taylor heard this, she nodded solemnly with a straight face. It was obvious that she was filled with resentment towards Bruce.
“Wait!”
At this moment, Bruce’s voice rang out once again.
“What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?!” Old Madam Taylor enraged when she heard Bruce’s voice.
She always felt that Bruce was the nemesis of the Taylor family. As long as he appeared, nothing good would happen.
First, in order to support him in starting his business, Keith gave up more than half of the Taylor family’s assets. In the end, all the investments went down the drain.
Then, in order to help him appeal his case, Keith ended up getting killed.
After he returned from prison, he offended the Richards family. Although he was lucky enough to escape death, who could guarantee that the Richards family wouldn’t settle the score later on?
Before it had been settled, he offended the powerful Hugo Group as well.
This was simply unforgivable!
When she thought of this, Old Madam Taylor’s old face had already reddened from suppressed rage and her angry gaze was fixed on Bruce.
Bruce ignored her angry gaze and said seriously, “Whether Hugo wants to pursue the responsibility or not, this is my business and has nothing to do with you.
What I’m going to say next is about Brianne. Old Madam Taylor, don’t forget that there is still a bet between you and me. Don’t tell me you want to go back on your word?”
“Nonsense! When did I say I want to go back on my word?!” Old Madam Taylor was so angry that she was trembling and she wanted to kick Bruce out immediately.
At this moment, Serena put on an act to appease Old Madam Taylor. Then, she looked at Bruce with a sneer as she said, “You still have the nerve to bring up the bet?
Don’t forget that you only have less than five days left. Now, the National Flower Company is probably in the hands of the Hugo Group. Do you think you can get it back?
Come on, there’s no need to wait for six days. I’ll give you a chance now. Kneel down and Kowtow to me to apologize!”
Serena raised her pretty face and looked at Bruce with immense arrogance, as if she was waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Freisa taunted, “How can you be so shameless? Do you really think that you’re so great just because you guys got lucky because the Simmons family offended Draco?
Did you guys get the job done yourselves? Didn’t you just take advantage of my son-in-law? You actually still have the nerve to shamelessly boast here.
You actually want to go back to the company and freeload? How delusional!”
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Taylor was also panting heavily and said with a displeased expression, “You’ve only completed two of the three conditions. You’re not qualified to mention the bet.
“Now, I’ll make the decision and officially expel you from the Taylor family and as for Keith’s ashes…”
“Hold on!”
Old Madam Taylor was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Bruce. At this moment, Old Madam Taylor was even more furious. “What else do you have to say? Finish it all at once!”
Bruce smiled and then said calmly, “Who said I’ve only completed two conditions?”
