Chapter 31: You Dare To Stop Me?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In Porta’s Cloudian Grand Hotel, the old woman who brought along more than a dozen bodyguards fiercely walked toward Shauna Taylor. She looked as though she was going to interrogate Shauna Taylor about her sins and was extremely unfriendly.
Bruce White wanted to charge over, but Shauna Taylor spoke before he managed to do anything, “Bruce, wait a moment. Don’t be anxious. Let me talk it through with them first.”
Then, without waiting for Bruce White to respond, Shauna Taylor walked up toward the old woman. Shauna Taylor had walked over with a smile on her face and had been extremely polite with her words. However, the old woman did not reciprocate this kindness.
Instead, she even mocked Shauna Taylor, “What relatives? Don’t assume that the Richards would recognize the Taylors as relatives just because Brianne Taylor married into our family. Don’t forget, this is just a transaction.
“Do you think an insignificant family like the Taylors is worthy of being our relatives? You guys really think too highly of yourselves. It looks like we were right to add those conditions beforehand. We told the Taylors not to come, yet you still came. I wonder how many people would have come if we didn’t mention it to the Taylors.”
The old woman glanced at Shauna Taylor with disdain after she finished speaking her mind. It was obvious that this old hag was looking down on Shauna Taylor. Her attitude caused Shauna to lose the smile on her face. Her expression became steely-cold as she asked, “The Taylors are marrying off their daughter. How is it logical to stop the bride’s relative from entering the wedding venue?”
Shauna Taylor’s attitude became more forceful when she saw that the softer approach would not work. The hag was not showing her any respect, which meant that she did not need to show the old woman any respect either.
However, unexpectedly, the hag seemed to disregard Shauna Taylor. Instead, she mocked mercilessly, “Marrying off their daughter? The entire Porta knows that they are selling their daughter! Don’t forget, the Taylors accepted a full million dollars from the Richards. Who in Porta doesn’t know that? And you have the cheek to talk to me about relatives? Haha—I really did not expect the Taylors to be shameless enough to say something like that. I can understand that you want to get acquainted with the Richards, but can you please have some sense of shame?”
“You!” Shauna Taylor growled. She was so furious with the hag’s attitude that she could not speak. Her beautiful face had turned red and her entire body was trembling.
“You what? Just scram. Don’t even think about trying to get acquainted with us today. Low-class people like you are not even worthy of being relatives of the Richards. Leave quickly if you are smart. Otherwise, I’ll get the guards to throw you out of the hotel!” the hag shouted stubbornly. She was insistent about throwing them out and was not going to show Shauna Taylor any respect.
Shauna Taylor’s expression gradually turned ice-cold. She said, “I’m Shauna Taylor. I know the Torres’ Damien Torres. Can you please let us in on the Torres’s account?”
Shauna Taylor had a strange look on her face as she said those words. It looked as though it had required a lot of resolve on her part to say these words.
Shauna Taylor had thought that the other party would show the Torres some respect. However, Shauna Taylor did not expect that not only did the hag not show the Torres any respect, but her attitude toward her became even worse.
“Haha—Do you really think I don’t know who you are? I was showing the Torres family respect by not mentioning it. However, I didn’t expect you to mention it yourself. You truly are shameless. Shauna Taylor, Shauna Taylor, all of you women from the Taylors sure do not know what shame is. You are a mistress who angered Damien Torres’s wife to death and yet you dare to mention it here? You might not know any shame, but I don’t want you defiling the Richards’ property. Tsk, tsk, tsk... You should stop wasting your efforts. You are not worthy enough to try to pressure me with the Torres’ name. Also, the Torres’ young master is here. Why don’t I get him out here to see if he recognizes you or not?”
The hag laughed coldly. Even the people behind her burst out in laughter. The laughter of the crowd slashed at Shauna Taylor’s face like a blade. It made her feel extremely embarrassed. She felt weak and helpless and desperately wanted to find a hole to hide in.
However, at this moment, a powerful sound rang out in front of her. It was as if a deity had descended from the heavens and were blocking off all sounds of mockery for her. Bruce White had not said anything before he slapped the hag across the face. The old woman was instantly sent flying from the slap.
She spun twice before falling onto the ground. Then, she caressed her stinging face and snarled fiercely, “You- Where did a brat like you come from? Why did you hit me? You dare to come and cause trouble on the Richards’ property? Do you not want your life anymore?”
“Your words are too nasty. You deserve to be slapped,” Bruce White retorted. That was all he had to say about the hag’s interrogation. Then, Bruce White, whose expression was incredibly sinister, shouted indifferently to the security guards who were blocking the way, “Move aside!”
“Bruce, don’t be rash,” Shauna Taylor pleaded when she saw that the situation had taken a drastic turn.
It was also at this moment that the crowd finally realized who Bruce White was. Two people helped the old woman back to her feet. The hag glared at Bruce White viciously and questioned, “So you are the bast*rd that the Taylors picked up? Impressive. It looks like five years in prison have made you arrogant, huh? Men, throw him out. Don’t let him sully the Richards’ property!”
The hag was ferocious. She was clearly brooding over the slap that Bruce White had given her just now and wanted to establish her dominance again. Unfortunately, those pathetic security guards might as well have been decorative ornaments in front of Bruce White. Bruce White could deal with a hundred, even a thousand of them with next to no effort, much less a dozen of them.
Boom, boom, boom...
Bruce White sent one or two security guards flying with every strike he took. All ten security guards were already lying on the ground and wailing pitifully in less than a minute. Only the arrogant old hag was left standing.
However, that old hag was no longer as arrogant as she had been just now. All there was left on her face was a look of immense fear and unease.
“Wh-What do you want? I am a Richards. I’ll destroy you if you dare to touch me!” the old lady threatened ineffectively as she took steps back in retreat.
“Do you think you’re fit to threaten me?” Bruce White asked.
Boom!
Bruce White lifted the hag and slammed her into the massive door of the wedding venue. The doors were blasted open with a deafening bang. The ongoing wedding ceremony was instantly interrupted.
Everyone was startled by the deafening crash and turned to look toward the door. All they saw was a muscular, well-postured man standing at the door. That man had limitless hostility written on his face and slowly appeared in their field of vision. Shauna Taylor was following behind the man, looking completely lost. She had a look of disbelief and was clearly still scared out of her wits.
All of the guests were wondering the same thing. “Who are they?” However, someone soon recognized Shauna Taylor. That person was a Torres, one of the richest families in Porta, that the hag had spoken of just now.
At this moment, at the Torres’ table, the expression of a young man who looked 16 turned ice-cold.. Then, he led some men and walked toward Shauna Taylor fiercely.
