Chapter 144: Trouble
Lindsey is a member of The Grant family, no matter how much speculation there is, this fact will never change.
It’s just that she doesn’t have any roots in B City, and if she and Bruce are allowed to continue to get along, it might lead to people who want to take advantage of her.
The Grant family will protect her no matter what.
A few moments later, Old Mr. Grant sighed and said quietly: “Lindsey from now on do not live in the old house, study outside and be a good person. Whether you make friends or get married, you need my permission, that’s all.”
Lindsey smiled, relaxed and sad at the same time.
Kaley was now in B-town, and at this point, she could not wait for The Grant family to leave her alone. Obviously Old Mr. Grant had thought about this, too, or he wouldn’t have arranged it this way.
In the end, she is an outsider. Even if you save Bruce, in front of the family’s stability of the big picture, that little favor is nothing.
Bruce’s face is unhappy, he has not yet loved her properly, grandfather does not let her live in the old house, does not mean that they do not continue to see each other!
After lunch, the two of them accompanied Old Mr. Grant to chat, and waited for him to take a nap before getting into the car and leaving Nine Lakes Mountain.
On the way, Lindsey leaned back in her seat and yawned tiredly.
“I’m sorry …” Bruce embraced her, a deep powerlessness in his hoarse voice. “I just wanted to take care of you.”
“Bullying me is more like it.” Lindsey muttered and smiled at him. “I don’t blame you, it’s normal to fall in love, what’s the point of being so serious.”
How could it not be serious? Bruce’s eyes were downcast, and a tyrannical color rose to the bottom of his eyes.
“Bruce, don’t make this difficult for me.” Lindsey’s face was cold and her eyes were on fire.
Bruce looked at her with fascination for a long time, and spoke with difficulty: “Okay.”
Lindsey tugged at the corner of her lips, and an unpleasant feeling instantly raged in her chest. She didn’t love him, but she couldn’t love. He had only just recovered, and with all this going on at this time, Kaley was bound to be watching closely.
If anything else goes wrong, he will really die!
Back in the city, Bruce received a call from Cary and had to part ways with Lindsey for a while.
Lindsey got out of the car, watched his car go away, and immediately turned around and went to a nearby pharmacy and bought a box of Yutin.
She had to put an end to any possible accidents.

Bruce was true to his word, and a press conference was held in the afternoon, and Edward was invited to speak.
In response to the media reports, the two tacitly distinguished themselves. At the same time, Lindsey’s identity was clarified, not Bruce’s fiancée, the two were very good friends, Bruce only for her brother to take care of her.
“Please ask Edward why Miss Lindsey, as the female lead of Wind Entertainment’s new movie, was not present at the launch.” The reporters at the meeting did not buy it, the good headlines were all withdrawn in less than half a day, this breath of anger really can not swallow.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Someone spoke up and other journalists echoed the sentiment.
Edward face with a calm and decent smile, easy to bring the ball to Bruce: “As for this question, it is more appropriate to leave it to Mr. Grant to answer.”
Bruce side-eye sweeping him, face a little smile enlarge, lightly said: “Lindsey last night drink too much.”
Entertainment reporters like to hear nothing better than such ambiguous, but people can not help but think big words.
The venue was buzzing with people saying they wished them an early baby, and those inquiring about the wedding date.
Edward sat at the speaker’s table, acid heart dripping blood, deliberately lowered his voice to remind Bruce: “What are you doing, the reporter’s pen but specializes in writing what you do not want to see.”
“What do you care, that’s my woman.” Bruce leaned over slightly and whispered through clenched teeth, “If you want to promote the movie, you’d better make these people think that it’s a hype you Wind Entertainment has planned to promote Lindsey.”
“How dare you make such an offer, not afraid that Lindsey will ignore you when she finds out!” Edward’s face floated with thin anger: “Sorry, I can’t do it, you find someone else.”
Bruce smiled and nodded towards the media reporters, leaned over some more and said angrily in a voice that only two people could hear: “You think I’m willing to give up, believe it or not, after the conference, a new round of human flesh will start immediately.”
Edward has been in the media industry for many years and knows the truth of what he said, his heart can’t help but get even hotter: “Your way won’t work, it must be changed.”
“This way, you’re responsible for finding out who put out the news, and I’ll take Lindsey to distract the reporters.” Bruce gritted his teeth and his low voice was thick with warning: “If this doesn’t work out, I’ll take your entire The Hawke family’s fortune as compensation.”
Edward was shocked and silent, agreeing to his proposal.
As soon as Bruce left the hotel after the media Q&A session, he immediately called Lindsey. He turned to Hector and called him.
“Her phone probably ran out of battery.” Hector was not far from the safe distance, lightly swept a glance at Lindsey and Adem, and said: “Nothing to hang up.”
Bruce had no place to get angry, but there was something else going on at the company, so he had to go back.
Edward, who also called Lindsey, also failed to get through and went back to the office with a stinky face.
B City Library.
Lindsey, holding a thick file of literature, and Adem came out of the lobby together, laughing and talking, and slowly walked down the steps.
“I said I would accompany you and walk through several well-known stores in B City, but I didn’t expect such a big mess to happen.” Lindsey sullenly lowered her head, not in a good mood: “You have to go back the day after tomorrow, and I don’t know when I’ll see you next.”
“It’s not like we’re parting, I’ll go back and get my eco-agriculture plate going, so maybe I’ll have time to visit you more often.” Adem laughingly reassured her: “Besides, don’t you have winter and summer vacations, it’s easy to go back to Samuel.”
“Also ha …” Lindsey laughed awkwardly, her mood turned bright in a second: “I will go back during the winter holidays, you must help me take care of the house.”
“What a lot of nonsense.” Adem made fun of a sentence, just want to take a step was life brutal stopped: “This gentleman, please stand still.”
Next to Lindsey also stood a tall man, dressed in his usual tracksuit, holding out his arm steadily like a mountain: “Miss Lindsey, please come with us.”
“A walk?” Lindsey looked him up and down, her eyes fell on the man opposite Adem, and suddenly smiled: “Why should I go with you.”
“You don’t need to know that!” The man was very irritated by her tone, and quickly reached for Lindsey’s arm as he spoke.
Lindsey has been holding her anger in her heart since yesterday, and now that someone has taken the initiative to provoke her, she is not willing to miss the opportunity to vent it.
She easily avoided the other party’s hand, she quickly threw the information in her arms to Adem and shouted: “Hold it.”
“Lindsey, you don’t want to fight …” Adem had not finished speaking, Lindsey had already exchanged several moves with the person coming.
Lindsey to a pair of two, not the slightest bit vulnerable, not a few kung fu to the two people are knocked down.
Hector, who was hiding in the crowd, watched the whole process of her hands, and secretly compared some of them and touched his nose in speechlessness.
Bruce must be out of his mind, actually let himself close to protect a more powerful than himself, but also a woman …
On the contrary, Adem, simply too calm, as if he hid from helping, it is completely natural.
Lindsey actually saw Hector during the fight, and seeing that he didn’t make a move, she couldn’t help but feel a little better about him. Luckily he just never bothered, otherwise I’m sure I wouldn’t have been able to control it and beat him up as well.
Patting her dirty hands, she ignored the sideways glances of the crowd, smiling and squatting on the ground, and asked one of the big men, “Can you say now, who told you to come.”
“Not as skilled as others, we admit it,” the big man had the backbone to look away, deliberately avoiding Lindsey’s scrutinizing gaze: “Can we go now.”
“Brother …” Lindsey couldn’t help but look at him, her pretty face instantly smiled into a flower: “It’s a legal society now, you came to trouble me, which can lose the fight and leave.”
“Then what do you want.” The big man’s eyes were so dark that one could not see his true emotions.
Lindsey stroked his chin in a pretentious manner and laughed, “Nothing, you just tell me who told you to come. You see everyone is watching, call the police or not, it’s up to me.”
The big man weighed his options, his cold face gradually became gloomy, and finally gritted his teeth: “Then you call the police, we attempted a robbery.”
Lindsey was still laughing, but his tone suddenly went cold: “Look at your techniques, military boxing is good. If I’m right, you are soldiers from L city, and you haven’t been out for a few years.”
The big man smiled, and the astonishment at the bottom of his eyes flashed away, too fast for anyone to catch.
Lindsey is still smiling, beautiful face, covered with teasing: “It does not matter if you do not admit it, if you are bodyguards, at most detention fines. If it’s another identity, it’s a little harder to giggle.”
The big man remained silent, but the tangled eyes still gave away his uneasiness.
It was not surprising to see that he and his companion knew military boxing, but what was scary was that Lindsey could tell that they were from L city.
Just as he hesitated, Lindsey clapped her hands and stood up, slowly and methodically took out her cell phone: “You have half a minute to think about it, after half a minute, I will call the police directly.”
