Chapter 47: A Week Is Fine!
“This…”
When Bruce asked this question, Old Madam Taylor actually began to hesitate. She silently looked at Franklin and said, “Franklin, I don’t know about this. What do you think?”
Obviously, Old Madam Taylor wasn’t really hesitating. She was showing Franklin the importance the Taylor family attached to him.
Franklin sat proudly and said obnoxiously, “I feel that he has too much confidence in himself. This condition obviously isn’t worthy of his status.
“Since it’s a gamble, then this little bit of difficulty is definitely not enough. I suggest that we change the time frame of one month to one week. If they can’t complete it, the two of them have to kneel down and apologize to Serena.
“I think this shouldn’t be too difficult for him, right?”
After Franklin finished speaking, he looked at Bruce with a mischievous expression, as if he wanted to see him stumped.
“One week? If we can’t complete it, we even have to kneel down? What kind of joke is this? Bruce, we won’t agree!” How could Brianne not see that Franklin was deliberately making things difficult for Bruce?
At this moment, Shauna couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Mom, a month is already demanding enough. A one week time limit is basically forcing them into a corner!”
When Serena heard this, she snickered and said, “Auntie, how is Franklin forcing them into a corner? He was the one who boasted shamelessly first. Why, now he’s getting cold feet?”
“You!” Shauna was so angry that she couldn’t speak.
At this moment, Old Madam Taylor tapped on the floor and said, “Alright, Alright. Since you don’t want to accept it, then don’t mention this matter anymore. Regarding Brianne’s return to the company, in the future…”
“Wait!”
Bruce interrupted Old Madam Taylor.
“What else do you want to do! ?” Old Madam Taylor said with disgust.
Bruce said calmly, “Who says I won’t accept it? One week is fine. Let alone three conditions, even 30 conditions wouldn’t be a problem with Brianne’s abilities.
“I hope you can keep your promise. Otherwise, don’t blame me!”
As soon as he said this, the whole place fell silent again.
Then, in less than two seconds, the entire Taylor family burst into laughter filled with ridicule.
Serena and the others looked at Bruce as if he was an idiot. Their laughter was filled with mockery.
“I’m dying of laughter. I’ve seen people who can boast, but I’ve never seen someone who can boast like you. Really, why don’t you become a comedian? No comedian will be a match against you.” Franklin held his belly and laughed.
“With your pathetic appearance after you just got out of prison, you still dare to boast like this? Did you lose your mind after going to prison?” Freisa said with a sneer.
“Grandma, since someone is so confident, then let’s fulfill his wish. If he can’t complete it, he’ll be humiliated. I wonder if he’ll feel ashamed when that time comes?” Serena said with a sarcastic tone.
Old Madam Taylor was full of resentment. She immediately took out a card and said, “Okay, the Taylor family will accept this bet!
If you can’t complete the bet, Brianne, you don’t have to go back to the company. Also, Bruce has to kowtow and apologize to Serena!
“Just for a week. We won’t bully you. We’ll start counting from tomorrow.”
Bruce shook his head silently. Then, he picked up the bank card on the table and held Brianne’s hand as he said, “No need. I won’t take anything from you. I don’t want you to hold it against me.”
After saying this, Bruce dragged the bitter-looking Brianne out of the Taylor family.
“Sigh…” Shauna sighed helplessly when she saw this. In her opinion, Bruce was good in everything but was too rash. He was too young and impetuous.
“Humph! Let alone a week, even if he was given ten years, he wouldn’t be able to fulfill these three conditions.” Serena sneered and walked to Old Madam Taylor’s side. She whispered something into her ear.
Old Madam Taylor nodded as she listened. She then said to Shauna with a cold expression, “Shauna, remember, your priority now is to obtain the Torres family’s approval.
“I forbid you from interfering with that wretched girl and that dead bastard’s matter. Otherwise, even if you help them complete their task, the Taylor family won’t admit it. Do you understand?”
Shauna pursed her lips and didn’t say a word. Then, she silently walked back to her room.
Seeing this, Serena sneered again and said fiercely, “You want to go back to the company? No way! I’m just waiting for him to kowtow and apologize to me!”
On the other side, after Brianne followed Bruce out of the Taylor family, her suppressed emotions finally couldn’t be held back anymore. She immediately cried out in grievance.
“Why did you agree to them? They asked you to kowtow and apologize. It’s obvious that they are making things difficult for you. How can you be so stupid…” Brianne squatted by the side of the road and buried her head in front of her chest. She kept sobbing.
Bruce slowly helped her up. He took out a lollipop that was prepared beforehand and said, “I’m not afraid of them making things difficult for me. I’m only afraid that you won’t believe me.”
Brianne shook her head with tears in her eyes. “Bruce, I know that you’re doing this to help me, but… but I just can’t stand them bullying you.”
“Silly sis, as long as I can make you happy, I’ll do anything. Moreover, the three conditions that they mentioned are really nothing to me. Don’t I still have you to help me? You’re the main force. I’m just helping out.”
Bruce comforted her. After hearing his comfort and getting the lollipop in his hand, Brianne felt her mood ease up.
“Bruce, don’t worry. I will work hard and won’t drag you down.” Brianne stopped sobbing and said seriously.
“Silly girl.” Bruce rubbed Brianne’s small nose lovingly and then held her hand happily.
She didn’t think much of it before, but after such an intimate action, Bruce held her hand again, which made her blush.
“I… I’ve grown up…” Brianne lowered her head and said in a tiny voice.
Bruce staggered and almost fell down. He was embarrassed but didn’t look back. He continued to pretend as if nothing had happened and slowly walked towards the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, Bruce settled Brianne down. Not long after, he received a call from Howard.
In order to thank Bruce for his help, Howard invited Bruce and Kirin to his house for a meal.
Coincidentally, Bruce also wanted to make arrangements for the rest of the matters, so he directly agreed.
However, he didn’t bring Brianne along. After all, there were some matters that he couldn’t let her know about. Otherwise, it would bring unnecessary trouble to her.
While Bruce was rushing to Howard’s house, Billy, whose legs were covered in casts, was shouting angrily in a high-class private hospital in Porta.
“Drake, you have to help me. The doctor said that my legs are completely crippled. I will be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life.
“You have to avenge me. You have to avenge me. I want Bruce and Howard to die a horrible death!” Billy said indignantly.
At this moment, a fierce-looking man and a dozen of his subordinates were standing beside the bed.
His name was Drake, and he was the younger brother of Northern Paul. He was also a well-known figure.
At the same time, he was also Billy’s brother. Usually, he helped Billy do shady things.
“Do any of you know where Bruce lives?” Drake asked coldly, but his subordinates were all at a loss.
“Useless things!” Drake said coldly. At this time, Billy, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked at Robert, who was called over by him, and said, “Robert! You should know where Howard’s home is, right?”
Robert, who was called, shivered all over. Then, he walked over with fear as he said, “I… I know.”
“Okay, lead the way. Bring Drake and his bros to find Howard. Bring their family here. As long as they are in our hands, I don’t believe that Bruce won’t show up!”
Billy said fiercely with his eyes full of anger.
