Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Is this the Master Brandon she knows?
Rose Taylor didn’t expect that her outing with Brandon Piers would turn into a shopping trip.
As Pullan carried all sorts of bags, with only his eyes visible behind them, he walked behind Abigail Green and Brandon Piers.
On the other hand, Kelvin Max looked much more relaxed. Smart as he was, he went to the toy house while Brandon and Abigail were shopping, buying up all the chubby fox plush toys. Additionally, he even bought the copyright of the cartoon image from the company. In the future, it seemed that only the Piers family would have such toys.
When he returned carrying two large bags of chubby fox plush toys, Abigail was overjoyed, and Brandon spared her from being a burden.
The group left the mall under everyone’s watchful eyes.
In a corner of the mall, Ruby Green, who was originally heading to the hospital, witnessed this scene with her own eyes, and her eyes turned red.
She couldn’t believe that Master Brandon would treat Abigail Green so well!
This kind of kindness made her insanely jealous. She had never thought that someone like Brandon would treat a fat bitch so well. The care and tenderness in every gesture felt like a poisoned sword stabbing her heart.
But this wasn’t the worst part.
The worst part was that everything Abigail Green was enjoying now should have been hers.
This was the most poisonous thorn in Ruby Green’s heart.
Even though she had been humiliated at the engagement ceremony, lost the position of the Piers family’s young mistress, and was mocked online, Ruby Green firmly believed that Brandon merely changed the bride out of anger at her deceit. Even if he seriously got engaged to Abigail Green, it was impossible for them to get married.
Based on her year of interaction with Master Brandon, she believed that the fat bitch wouldn’t receive anything good from him; she would be abandoned eventually, it was just a matter of time.
But what was happening now?
Master Brandon not only allowed the fat bitch to swindle 52% of Woods Lineage’s shares, but he also personally accompanied her shopping, generously buying her things without hesitation.
How was this the Brandon she knew?
“Mom, what kind of charm did that fat bitch use on Master Brandon? How could he really be nice to her!” Ruby Green whispered, venom in her eyes.
Her leg was destroyed, and she was left with only 9% of the shares. Now her mom was being forced to repay the two million funds she embezzled. If they didn’t return the money within three days, they would be sued!
But let alone two million, they didn’t even have two hundred thousand!
The funds embezzled over five years were either spent managing connections or on luxury items like branded bags for her and her mom. How could they possibly return the money?
“Maybe it’s just a show.” Rose Taylor was worried about her daughter’s leg. Seeing her fixated on the backs of Master Brandon and Abigail Green, she was also resentful but more concerned that her daughter might do something reckless, considering they had to be more cautious at this critical moment.
“A show?” A glimmer of hope appeared in Ruby’s heart.
Seeing this, Rose nodded affirmatively, “Did you see that female reporter? They were doing it for the camera just now.”
“I knew it. How could Master Brandon fancy an ugly fat bitch!” Ruby glanced at the female reporter with the camera around her neck and finally felt relieved.
Rose secretly breathed a sigh of relief and held Ruby’s hand, “Ruby, let’s go see the doctor, okay? Your leg must be treated now.”
“But Master Adam…” There was an event tonight. Ruby wanted to test the waters again, especially since the vice president of Jerry Entertainment invited her. She felt it was a great opportunity and vaguely sensed from Vice President Rusk that he intended to sign her.
Jerry Entertainment had developed rapidly in recent years and had strong backing from major video platforms. Its star-making ability was well-recognized. If she could sign with Jerry and develop in Swallow City, would she not become famous again?
As for the current scandals, with the company’s PR, she didn’t fear public image recovery.
But her leg…
Today’s fall wasted all her previous efforts. No formal hospital was willing to accept her, and Clark Stone, that scumbag, hadn’t shown up since taking her once. Who knew where he went to fool around again?
Just thinking about it made Ruby feel nauseous.
“No rush,” Rose said softly.
But could Ruby not be anxious?
“The day after tomorrow, there is a charity event. I heard Master Adam will attend. I will find a way to get an invitation. Appearing there will be more dignified than actively pursuing him. Regarding the Jerry contract, consider it. If we can get two million, it’s best,” Rose mentioned two million with as much resentment toward Abigail as her daughter had.
Ruby’s eyes lit up, “Mom, really? Master Adam is really going?”
“Yes,” Rose nodded confidently.
“I’ll listen to you,” Ruby finally calmed down.
Rose exhaled in relief. “As for Jerry’s vice president, stay in touch. After this incident, Lincoln Green might not trust us like before. The company’s accounts will certainly be checked. Getting shares as easily as we hoped might be wishful thinking, so signing the contract early gives us funds and time to negotiate.”
“But Mom, do we really have to come up with two million?” Initially, transferring the shares was for the two million. Now, not only did they not get the money, but they also had to return what they took. Ruby felt indignant.
However, could she do anything about it?
If they were sued…
Two million was no small amount. If convicted, the sentence might be longer than her uncle’s.
Rose had calculated her entire life, yet she didn’t expect to be outsmarted by a fat bitch. How could she not feel bitter? But seeing the evidence Abigail laid out, there was no way to deny it. Even if she could deceive Lincoln Green, the court relied on evidence.
Evidence was irrefutable now. If they didn’t repay, with Abigail’s current status, suing them would be easy.
Like Ruby, Rose never imagined that someone they once looked down upon, disregarded, and despised, would drive them to this point.
Had she known earlier, she would have sent the fat bitch to reunite with her mother.
“We must gather the money first, then think of other ways,” Rose took a deep breath and replied to Ruby, then turned to Diana Edith impatiently, “We’re done eating. Call the driver to send Ruby to the traditional Flowery medicine.”
“Yes, Madam,” Diana replied respectfully.
Rose helped the limping Ruby walk toward the mall exit.
Brandon Piers and his group had already left. Ruby looked at the place where the black Bentley had parked, filled with resentment and hatred. After getting in the car, she turned down the invitation from Jerry’s vice president, Campbell Rusk.
Campbell sat across from Adam Piers, a bit surprised. “Master Adam, she refused.”
Adam raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised, though not concerned. “I heard that monster had Woods Lineage’s shares stolen for his fat bitch and caught this mother-daughter duo embezzling public funds. With their financial capability, it’s only a matter of time before they reach out to you. No hurry.”
“Understood, Master Adam!”
What do you think?
