Chapter 568
She stumbled as she stepped out of the car.
“Is your leg injured?” Brandon became worried and helped her take off her high heels.
“No, the heel broke off. I noticed it when I was in your office. I thought it would hold on until we made it home.” It was a shame, for this pair of shoes cost her a half a month’s salary.
They both sighed, Brandon because he was worried she would get hurt, and Natalie because of her broken shoe. “Come on, let me carry you.”
Being held on his back, Natalie could feel Brandon’s broad shoulders. ռօʋɛʟօʐ.ƈօʍ It gave her a real sense of security. She had never felt so relaxed before. “Honey, can we just keep walking like this?”
“No, we’ll be home soon.” And with that, Brandon broke the spell of romance.
Since their attention was completely focused on each other, they didn’t notice the woman standing in the corner, a resentful scowl on her face.
Seeing Natalie safe and sound, Vivian dragged her finger along the white wall, leaving a long mark. She clenched her teeth.
Why was Natalie always so lucky?
Earlier that day, before all the chaos, Vivian had stumbled across the manufacturer and his wife protesting in front of the Larson Group building.
What kind of man would let his pregnant wife suffer like that? Vivian knew for certain that this man was a thug. She patted Jethro’s shoulder sympathetically. “Do you want to get inside and see Brandon? I might be able to help you.”
Jethro looked at Vivian, impatient. He had just seen her come out of the Larson Group building and thought she was an employee there.
Believing she was one of them, he spat at her. “Bah! You’re a Larson Group lackey. Get away from me!”
Vivian stumbled back a few steps. Seeing the spit on her expensive major brand heels sent her off like a bomb.
She kept her cool and said in an annoyed tone, “I’m not currently working for Larson Group; rather, I’m here for an interview as a recent college grad. However, Brandon Larson just turned me down and mocked at me. Since he did a lot of charity works, I assumed he was a kind person. I did not anticipate that he would be much more cruel, cold-blooded, and haughty than in the stories I’ve heard. Well. As long as Brandon Larson remains in charge, the Larson Group is doomed to failure!”
Vivian observed Jethro’s facial expressions shift as she cursed Brandon.
Jethro was in a good mood, as evidenced by the smile he wore on his face.
“He’s just overhyped by the Internet, actually. This Brandon guy is nothing more than a spoiled brat with a lot of money. Unfortunately, the Larson Group will have to declare bankruptcy at some point.” Vivian kept venting her rage and cursing. “According to me, he should just disappear from this planet! The world will be a far more beautiful place after he’s gone!”
“Right! There is no purpose for Brandon Larson to exist. Otherwise I wouldn’t have brought my family here to protest.” For some reason, Jethro enjoyed hearing negative comments made against Brandon by other people. He lit a cigarette and kept cursing at Brandon,
“Such cowardice! He is so intimidated by me that he won’t even let me past the door!”
She returned to her wits after some time and dialed the journalist’s number on her phone.
“I’d want to share some news with you. It concerns the manufacturer demonstration at the Larson Group’s entrance this midday…”
Early in the morning, ominous clouds blanketed Barnes. It looked like the storm was about to strike.
Brandon’s eyes sprung wide and a bead of perspiration formed on his forehead. He was startled awake by the shrill ring of his phone.
“What’s the matter?” Sean called and Brandon answered the phone. He then left the bedroom after tucking the woman next to him.
Brandon’s lingering drowsiness was dissipated by the breeze from the balcony. While listening to Sean’s report on the phone, he rubbed his eyebrows.
When Jethro was arrested, he completely lost it. When the guard tried to stop him, he bit him, and then he even ran off with the guard’s pistol.
But the cops quickly tracked Jethro down after he had just gone several hundred meters outside the station’s perimeter.
But following the failure of the warning bullets, the police shot Jethro on the spot!
