“You don’t have to look for me anymore. I have come back!” someone shouted from outside the Taylors’ villa.

The door of the Taylors’ villa was slowly being opened. Brianne Taylor, who looked incredibly exhausted, appeared in everyone’s field of vision. She looked like she had not slept the entire night.

“Haha- Brianne Taylor! To think that you still know to come back? I thought that you have died with that bast*rd outside!” Brianne Taylor heard the nasty remarks that someone made the moment she stepped into the house. She traced the sound to its source. The voice had come from a female figure who looked about the same age as Brianne Taylor. That person’s facial features also looked similar to Brianne Taylor’s, but her expression was impossibly mean and harsh.

She was Serena Taylor, Brianne Taylor’s cousin. Serena Taylor was probably the person Brianne Taylor hated the most. She even hated Serena Taylor more than she detested Old Madam Taylor, the ancient-looking head of the family.

“Wretched lass! Get on your knees!” Old Madam Taylor shouted in fury as she supported herself with her walking stick which had a dragon’s head carved onto its handle.

However, Brianne Taylor remained unmoved. When she witnessed this, Serena Taylor immediately walked behind Brianne Taylor and stomped on her calf.

Brianne Taylor knelt onto the ground with a thump. However, her expression remained determined. Though she had decided to come back, she had also made up her mind to take all of the punishment for Bruce White.

“Hmph! What kind of attitude is that? Are you not going to show any respect to your elders?” Serena Taylor walked to the front of Brianne Taylor and immediately slapped Brianne Taylor across her face. The resounding slap echoed around the villa.

Brianne Taylor had been slapped by the old lady from the Richards family yesterday and was now slapped again by Serena Taylor. The palmprint on Brianne Taylor’s cheek was becoming more and more jarring. Despite that, Brianne Taylor still showed no sign of submission.

“Mum, Brianne isn’t fully to blame for all of this. I was the one who brought Bruce over to the wedding yesterday. Furthermore, the attitude that the Richards had toward Brianne was really-” Brianne Taylor’s aunt, Shauna Taylor, stepped forward and defended her. However, she was halfway through her sentence when Serena Taylor interrupted mockingly, “Shauna, you still have the cheek to mention this? Grandma is already showing you respect by not pursuing the mess you’ve made, yet you still don’t know any better? Don’t forget, the trouble you are in has not been resolved yet. You should be concerned about yourself first.”

“Serena, you-” Shauna Taylor was rendered speechless. Her face turned red.

Serena Taylor smiled coldly and did not show Shauna Taylor any respect at all.

“Enough! We are discussing how to salvage the situation with the Richards today. We can talk about other matters next time!” Old Madam Taylor instructed.

Serena Taylor shot Shauna Taylor a look of disdain when she heard that. Her gaze was filled with unbridled provocation.

Then, Old Madam Taylor slowly stood up and walked to Brianne Taylor’s side. She questioned, “Let me ask you, where is that bast*rd now?”

Brianne Taylor pursed her lips and said with unwavering determination, “I am the cause of all of this. Bruce had nothing to do with it. Punish me if you must!”

“Punish you?!” Old Madam Taylor snarled coldly, her expression turning a few shades darker. “Do you really think that you can take the punishment alone? The Richards are asking us for their ten million dollars back! Ten million dollars, not ten thousand. That bast*rd Bruce White has to come back today! Not only does he have to come back, he also has to kneel and apologize to Mr. Mark Richards! Otherwise, I’ll issue the order for your father’s remains to be scattered into the Amarillo River!”

Old Madam Taylor had said her piece loudly. No matter how determined she was, Brianne could not stop herself from trembling when she heard that. Tears welled up in her reddened eyes.

“Grandma, how can you say that? Those are the remains of your son! Are you really that unfeeling? Do you really not care for familial ties at all?” Brianne Taylor asked in a choked voice as she fought back her tears. However, her words failed to move Old Madam Taylor. Instead, they gave Serena Taylor another opportunity to make things difficult for her.

“What are you saying? Do you think you can question Grandma’s decision? Don’t forget. Your family has landed the Taylors in this pathetic state back then! If not for you guys helping that f*cking bast*rd, would the Taylors have ended up in such a downtrodden state? Because of the things your father and that bast*rd have done, it’s not even overboard for us to fry your father’s remains in hot oil, much less scatter them into the river!” Serena Taylor said overbearingly.

At this time, Shauna Taylor could not stand it any longer. She walked to Old Madam Taylor’s side and coaxed, “Mum, Keith is ultimately a member of the Taylor family. The Taylors’ reputation will be negatively impacted if news of this spread.”

Old Madam Taylor’s expression only became a little less harsh when she heard Shauna Taylor’s warning. However, at this moment, Serena Taylor stepped out once again and said, “Shauna, listen to what you are saying. Do the Taylors still have any reputation left? Are you going to take out the million dollars that the Richards are asking for? Or are you going to ask the Torres family for the money? Shall we see if they will give you any respect or not? The most important matter at hand right now is to find that bast*rd and get him to apologize to Mr. Mark Richards. You can’t even take care of the trouble you caused, yet you have the energy to be concerned for someone else?! What a joke!”

Serena Taylor laughed coldly again. At this moment, a middle-aged woman also stepped forward eccentrically and said, “Serena is right. Shauna, it’s better for you to mind your own business. That lad is ultimately an outsider and not a Taylor. If you get too close to him and the Torres family finds out about it, they might really think that you had a fling with him. The Taylors would be doomed if that happens.”

That middle-aged woman was even meaner than Serena Taylor was. After all, they were from the same family. The middle-aged woman was Serena Taylor’s mother, Friesa Vade.

“You guys!” Shauna Taylor seethed. She was trembling from the mockery of the two. Her eyes slowly turned red, just like Brianne Taylor’s were.

Brianne Taylor was very upset when she saw this. She said, “Shauna, thank you. But I’m the cause of all of this. You don’t need to stand up for me anymore.”

“Silly girl, you- Sigh...” Shauna Taylor sighed as she looked at Brianne Taylor, feeling sorry for her. She deliberated for a while before deciding to secretly send Bruce White a message.

Shauna Taylor had personally witnessed the incident yesterday night. Though she did not have the proof, she felt the Richards’ fluster yesterday night had likely been due to the call Bruce White had made. Furthermore, Old Madam Taylor was insistent about bringing Bruce White back. Bruce White was the only person who could save Brianne Taylor.

Bruce White was already on his way to the Taylors’ villa before Shauna Taylor even sent him the message. He became even more certain about his guess when he received Shauna Taylor’s message. The silly girl was really trying to take all the punishment alone!

“Brianne, wait for me. I’ll never let anyone bully you! Never!!!” Bruce White seethed.

Vroom!

Bruce White floored the accelerator.. The Brave Warrior he was driving sprinted forward and sped toward the Taylors’ villa like an untamed horse.
