Chapter 44: Really Here to Apologize?
Listening to the ridicule of the Taylors family, Brianne felt very uncomfortable.
It didn’t matter if she was ridiculed, but Bruce had just gotten out of five years of wrongful imprisonment and was being targeted by so many people, so how could he reintegrate into society in the future?
For Bruce, Brianne had secretly read a lot of information about how to reintegrate people who had been unjustly imprisoned into society.
One of the most important things for people like Bruce, who have been wrongfully imprisoned, was the trust of the people around him.
Once the people around him no longer believed him, it would burden him greatly. It might make him have a mental breakdown and go down the wrong path.
Brianne didn’t want Bruce to be like this, so she stood up and said angrily, “Have you had enough of laughing? My brother was wrongly accused. I will help him get justice. You are not allowed to make fun of him!”
Bruce felt touched when he heard Brianne defending him.
But at this time, the Taylors family, especially Serena and her mother, sneered disdainfully.
“Save your breath. You feel wronged? Ridiculous! What, you can’t stand other people talking about your jail time? If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!” Freisa said meanly.
Serena also said coldly, “Is it wrong for Franklin to say that? He is so good at bragging that he might as well enroll in a comedy course. Do you think it would be so easy for a prisoner to find a job?”
As soon as she said this, another burst of laughter rang out from the room.
Brianne blushed, but still tried to defend Bruce. However, for Bruce, as long as Brianne could understand him, it was enough.
As for the others, there were plenty of opportunities to prove them otherwise.
Bruce shielded Brianne behind him and said with a breezy expression, “Don’t worry, a mad dog barking a few words won’t affect your brother.”
When the words came out, Franklin stood up directly and said, “Jailbird, who the h*ll are you calling a mad dog?”
Bruce slowly turned his body sideways and swept a glance at Franklin condescendingly. Just one glance made Franklin shiver and feel chilled to the bone.
Franklin was immediately cowed, and Bruce said with a sneer, “If you dare to criticize my sister again, I’ll throw you out!”
Franklin averted his eyes and he didn’t dare to look directly at Bruce.
At that moment, Old Madam Taylor tapped her cane and said, “Brianne! If you don’t keep him in check, you can never expect Keith to acknowledge him!”
When Brianne heard this, she argued, “Grandma, it’s obvious that he hurt people first, so why…”
In the middle of her sentence, Old Madam Taylor said in an angry voice, “D*mn you! Shut up! You’re here to apologize to the Richards family, not to cause trouble for the Taylors!”
Brianne suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of sadness. If it wasn’t for helping her father to fulfill his last wish, what was there to hold on to in such a family?
At that moment, Mrs. Yanis, the Taylors’ nanny, came in with a flustered appearance. She said in fear, “Bad news, many people from the Richards family are here.”
The entire Taylors family fell silent when they heard this.
“Quickly, everyone follow me out to meet the Richards family. We can’t neglect them.” Old Madam Taylor said hurriedly.
In an instant, everyone in the Taylors family got up on their feet.
When Old Madam Taylor came to Brianne’s side, she gave Bruce a stern look and said, “What are you two doing standing around? You’re the ones who caused the trouble, and you’re the ones who have to apologize!”
Brianne pursed her lips and held back her tears.
Bruce slowly took her hand and joked, “Come on, the Richards family wants to apologize, but how are they going to apologize without you?”
Brianne snorted with laughter and rolled her eyes at Bruce angrily because he was still joking around at this time.
After that, Brianne followed Bruce with a heavy heart and walked towards the door.
At this time, a group of Richards family members, led by Albert, had already arrived at the gate.
As soon as Old Madam Taylor saw Albert, she said eagerly, “The Taylors family…? Huh? What is this?”
Just in the middle of the sentence, Old Madam Taylor noticed that Mark, who was following Albert, looked a little off.
Yesterday, Bruce clearly broke one of his arms, but how come today, both hands were covered with casts?
Moreover, his face was also swollen. He was already chubby in the first place, so he looked even more bloated.
When she saw this scene, Old Madam Taylor’s heart couldn’t help but thump for a moment as nervousness overwhelmed her.
Could it be that the Richards family had deliberately made Mark look so miserable in order to blackmail the Taylors family?
If that was the case, the Richards family would be too heartless to do so to their own son.
Old Madam Taylor sucked in a breath and hastily explained in a frightened manner, “This matter really has nothing to do with the Taylors family.
I have found the culprit for you. Today, if you want to kill him, the Taylors family will not interfere with it.
After saying these words, Old Madam Taylor did not forget to give Serena a look.
Serena understood and dragged Franklin in front of Albert.
Franklin pretentiously arranged the tie around his neck and said seriously, “Mr. Richards, how are you doing? I am Franklin Simmons. On New Year’s Eve, our two families had a dinner together. I don’t know if you remember.
Serena is my girlfriend. I have heard about the Taylors family’s incident. It’s all Bruce’s idea and has nothing to do with the Taylors family.
I hope Mr. Richards will…”
Immediately after, the crowd, following Albert’s lead, knelt down.
This…?
This scene dumbfounded the Taylors family. Franklin was unable to react. What happened? He hadn’t even finished his sentence, but they were kneeling already?
Before Franklin could react, Albert directly kowtowed and said, “I am sorry, the Richards family has offended you because of our ignorance. Please be merciful and forgive the Richards family this time.
I, Albert, swear that I will never make things difficult for the Taylors family again. In the future, if there are Taylors family members, we will detour. We will never dare to do so again. Please spare us this time…”
Albert did not know who had been offended, only that one of the Taylors family members had ties with Rica, so he could only say so now.
For a while, the outside of the Taylors family villa resounded with the Richards family’s pleas for mercy.
At this moment, the entire Taylors family were frozen and couldn’t calm down for a long time.
The Richards family really came to apologize!!!
“Is something big happening in the Richards family?” Someone said incredulously with a look of astonishment.
At this time, Old Madam Taylor was also dumbfounded by the Richards family’s actions. She stood there in a daze and wondered in shock, “Did he do this?”
