Chapter 38: Mark Richards At The Taylors’!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Porta, villa of the Taylors!
Brianne Taylor was still kneeling on the ground without yielding and the atmosphere of the place suddenly intensified.
“Serena, go to the front and see if Young Master Mark Richards has arrived. Make sure you greet him nicely, don’t be discourteous,” Old Madam Taylor ordered.
Serena Taylor nodded, then walked to the front of the villa with a smug expression on her face.
At this time, as Shauna Taylor saw Serena Taylor walking outside, she said, “Mom, Brianne can’t be kneeling much longer like this, how about let her get up for now?”
However, Shauna Taylor clearly forgot about the presence of Serena Taylor’s mother, Freisa Vade. Her dislike for Brianne Taylor was no less than that of Serena Taylor.
After Freisa Vade heard this, she immediately turned to Old Madam Taylor and said, “Mom, Brianne can’t get up just yet. We have to make sure Young Master Richards understands the stance of the Taylors.
“Otherwise, he might think that the Taylors didn’t put enough emphasis on this matter, and who knows, he might think it was we who instructed this stupid girl to renege the marriage.
“If that is the case, we will be in a lot of trouble.”
After listening to Freisa Vade’s analysis, Old Madam Taylor nodded with great approval and immediately looked at Brianne Taylor coldly, “Kneel! Continue to kneel! Kneel until Young Master Richards is satisfied!”
When Shauna Taylor saw this, she couldn’t help but feel truly sorry for Brianne Taylor. However, there was nothing she could do.
“Young Master Mark Richards has arrived!”
At this moment, Serena Taylor’s voice came from outside the door.
When all the Taylors heard this, they stood up with great joy like they were welcoming a long-awaited dear friend.
Even Old Madam Taylor, wobbled to her feet to head outside, supporting herself on her walking stick.
This was enough to demonstrate just how much importance the Taylors had attached to Mark Richards.
However, Mark Richards did not have the same positive feelings for them simply because of the Taylors’ enthusiasm. Instead, there was a lingering fury that lingered on his face.
When he saw Brianne Taylor kneeling on the floor, this anger reached a crescendo.
It was precisely because of this b*tch that he became the laughingstock of all Porta!
Now, nine out of ten acquaintances knew that his fiancée ran away with a random man on their wedding day and brought shame upon him!
Thinking of this, Mark Richards reached Brianne Taylor in a couple of great strides with a ferocity on his face that indicated his rage.
“You b*tch, you!! I gave you ten million dollars and you still dare to make me into a laughingstock by cuckolding me?”
Wow!
Mark Richards, who was more than three hundred pounds, raised his huge fan-like paw and slapped Brianne Taylor who was kneeling on the ground.
Because her back was facing him, when Brianne Taylor realized what was happening, there was no time to dodge it.
Ahhh!
Brianne Taylor shrunk and screamed subconsciously, but the pain she imagined did not come.
After that, Brianne Taylor slowly opened her eyes, only to find Shauna Taylor was standing in front of her.
Mark Richards’s slap had landed on her face.
“Auntie!” Brianne Taylor hurriedly got up from the ground and looked at Shauna Taylor with immense guilt.
At this time, Shauna Taylor’s lovely face was covered with a bright red handprint.
However, Mark Richards didn’t feel the slightest pity nor was he apologetic. Instead, he stared at Shauna Taylor angrily. “Get out of my way! If you get in the way of my business, I won’t let you go either!”
“Auntie, I...” Brianne Taylor had just started trying to tell Shauna to leave, but Shauna Taylor could not be dissuaded. She stood in front of Brianne steadily and met Mark Richards’ gaze without fear.
“You slapped me. If I tell Damien about this, what do you think will happen?” Shauna Taylor asked bluntly, even with a slight hint of threat in the way she said it.
After Mark Richards heard those words, his eyes instantly turned gloomy and cold.
Shauna Taylor’s position was somewhat interesting. Although the Torres family did not recognize her, she did have a relationship with Damien Torres once. Though she may not be welcomed in most circles, it wasn’t her that he was worried about.
Mark Richards was not Darius Torres who could yell at Shauna Taylor however he liked. If Damien Torres ever found out that he had laid hands on his woman, perhaps just a word from Damien would cause him to suffer endlessly.
Besides, the Richards were now in dire straits themselves. The main goal of today was to get the money—there was no need to cause more trouble.
When he thought of this, Mark Richards snorted with disdain and immediately planted his gigantic behind in the main seat of the room.
This position was reserved for Old Madam Taylor exclusively. But now, Mark Richards sat in that special seat and no one in the Taylors dared to object.
“I will settle the matter about reneging on the marriage later with you all. But the ten million that you guys took from the Richards had to be returned to us; there is no discussion!
“And, last night, that rascal named White hurt a lot of our people, which must be compensated. Considering your attitude is sincere in general, let’s just say another ten million.
“Altogether, that’s twenty million dollars. I’m in a hurry, so quickly get to it! I don’t care if you need to sell a house or some cars. In short, I need to have this money in hand today!”
Mark Richards sat on the high seat unapologetically, speaking to the Taylors in an unyielding tone as if he was giving them orders.
When everyone in the Taylors heard this pronouncement, they couldn’t help but stare at one another.
Old Madam Taylor hurried over with smiles and placated, “Young Master Richards, please don’t be so angry. What happened last night was all a misunderstanding. Brianne was confused momentarily—we have already reprimanded her.
“From now on, she will definitely serve you with all her heart and mind. As for the guy who made trouble last night, he was, in fact, not one of the Taylors.
“He was just some wildling that Brianne’s father rescued once upon a time. Don’t worry, we are already looking for him. When we find him, we will be sure to make him kneel and apologize to you.”
Mark Richards smiled coldly when he heard this supplication and gave Old Madam Taylor a nasty and dirty look. He said unceremoniously, “Are you demented, old woman?
“Do you think I, Mark Richards, will still want this bitch after all that?
“Also, don’t even think about pretending to be ignorant in front of me. That rascal last night was brought over by Shauna Taylor and now you want to be cleared of the blame?
“Hahaha... Do you think we Richards are so gullible? Or do you think we are fools?”
After everyone in the Taylors heard these words, all of them looked as if they were in mourning.
Never mind twenty million, even ten million was an astronomical figure for the Taylors right now.
Old Madam Taylor was going to make an argument for her family, but Mark Richards’s aggressive attitude made her felt quite discouraged.
And just as the atmosphere couldn’t be more chilly inside the villa, Bruce White arrived outside the Taylors’ villa.
This was once the place where Bruce White lived as well. It was only after what happened to him that Old Madam Taylor took possession of the place and claimed it as her own.
“Master Bruce?”
Just as he was about to break in, he heard a familiar voice calling him.
Bruce White took a closer look and found that it was Mrs. Yanis, a former nanny of the house.
When Mrs. Yanis saw him, she said with much emotion, “It’s really you, Master Bruce, you are finally back.”
“Mrs. Yanis, where is Brianne?” Bruce White asked immediately.
When Mrs. Yanis heard him, she immediately came out of her dreamlike state and opened the door for him quickly. “Master Bruce, Miss Brianne is in the hall. That great fat piggy from the Richards family is already here.. You have to hurry and help Miss Brianne.”
