Chapter 258 : The Gutter Capsize
Lindsey shrugged her shoulders. “Old Mr. Grant arranged it, I can’t say anything, and it’s a good thing why refuse it.”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Warren is thinking that moving up the ladder on you is a fear of being caught in the crossfire.” Fiona explained the reason. “Besides, he’s a big man and it’s his job to take care of you, so how can he let you take care of him.”
“Old Mr. Grant is not a confused man, he made this decision after careful consideration, let Warren not have psychological pressure.” Lindsey smiled and reassured, “Without real skills, it is to beg Old Mr. Grant, he may not look at it more.”
Fiona was relieved to hear her say that, and turned to ask if she had any special reactions to her pregnancy.
“Yes, I have occasional vomiting, but it’s not too bad, just drowsy.” Lindsey’s face fell as she greeted them and went to sit with them in the gazebo. “I didn’t even know pregnancy was so hard.”
We’re all women, and when the topic came up, everyone had something to say.
After talking for almost an hour, Fiona remembered that she had a flight to catch in the afternoon and immediately said goodbye.
Lindsey didn’t want to leave them, and immediately instructed Hector to arrange a car to take them directly to the tarmac.
Bruce was lounging on the couch, waving mysteriously at Lindsey. “Lindsey, come here.”
“What?” Lindsey yawned and sat down with little energy. “Is there something you want to tell me.”
Bruce smiled and reached into the pocket of his jacket and pulled out a delicate box. “This is for you.”
“It’s not jewelry again, I don’t like that.” Lindsey opened it suspiciously and was happy to find that it was not actually jewelry, but a very realistic looking lamb. “It’s beautiful, where did you buy it.”
“Custom-made, I recorded a lot of words for you and the baby, when I go back to the army, let it accompany you every day.” Bruce tightened the force of his hand and gently kissed her neck. “I really can’t leave you.”
“I can’t let go either.” Lindsey hugged him back, tilted her head slightly, and kissed his well-defined jaw. “Promise me you’ll take care of yourself.”
“I know, we haven’t even separated yet, and you’re already bugging.” Bruce QingShao smiled away, followed by lowering his head to kiss her lips.
Bruce carried her back to her room to change her clothes and ordered the guards to prepare the car.
The two of them got off the bus and didn’t rush to the elegant room, but went to sit in the nearby pavilion.
The first to arrive were Edward and Lily, followed by Larissa, Terence, Cary and others, Randy was the last to arrive, and with him came Aurora.
Bruce’s eyes flashed a shade of gloom, embraced Lindsey up, and spoke blandly: “Is Division Chief Gregor telling me that Miss Aurora is one of yours.”
“You misunderstood.” Randy smiled bitterly, not giving Aurora the slightest face. “I met her on the way, and she had to follow.”
Bruce did not deny it, his grim gaze fell on Aurora’s face, and said word for word: “I didn’t invite you!”
“I know.” Aurora smiled indifferently, raised her eyes to Lindsey, and gracefully extended her hand. “Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted.”
Lindsey swept her hand down and a sweet smile lifted her face. “Sorry, we don’t know each other well, and I don’t need your congratulations.”
Aurora, still smiling, her beautiful eyes vaguely welling up with teasing, turned around with a flourish. “It seems I am indeed very unpopular, so I will leave you all alone.”
A gust of wind blew by, Aurora’s laughter with a hint of coldness, scurrying into the eardrums of the crowd.
Lindsey felt a vague sense of unease in her heart and subconsciously lifted her bangs that had been blown away by the wind. However it was this action that made her body instantly feel strangely itchy, and her exposed arms, too, instantly got a large red rash.
“Not good …,” Lindsey whimpered, and everyone in the room jumped up with her, with symptoms similar to hers.
“Have the guards back up the car and get back to the old house right away.” Lindsey’s face was swollen and she struggled to pull Bruce, who was also suffering. “Be quick.”
Everyone had rashes on their faces and bodies, and the itching was killing them. But no one knew what was happening, so they got in the car and set off for the Grant Residence.
Lindsey not only knew what was going on, she could only conclude that Aurora had done it on purpose.
Although no one saw how she struck, Lindsey was more than clear that the gust of wind before she left had helped a lot.
Lindsey endured the itch, never dared to scratch, and did not allow Bruce to scratch.
Bruce could not stand it, but when he saw her serious face, he just gritted his teeth and told the others to do the same.
Back at the old house, Lindsey got out of the car and immediately told logistics to prepare some rice or flour and water for the living room. No one knew what she wanted, so they all went to the living room, enduring the itchy torture.
The logistician quickly brought over what she wanted, Lindsey checked it, endured the unbearable feeling and struggled to speak: “We all have an animal’s hair stuck to us, take the rice and crush it yourselves and stick it to the itchy places.”
Lindsey finished, pulled Lily and Larissa, and Karen to the bedroom, closed the door to take off their clothes, and brought hair removal cream from the dresser, let them do it themselves, and smear it onto the prickly places.
“Sis, this stuff is the hair from the dog caterpillar, right?” Lily said while wiping, “I often encounter it in the mountains, I didn’t expect it to be here.”
“Dog caterpillars are bugs, they can be found anywhere.” Lindsey looked at them with a bitter smile. “Make you guys suffer with me.”
Larissa’s impression of Aurora was already bad, sniffing hatred to answer: “Lindsey where can I find this stuff, I’ll go get a bunch of them back, toss her a little bitch.”
Lindsey frowned. “This time there is only the south, in fact, is your common caterpillar, the largest body with a lot of hair kind. These hairs are hard and can pierce the skin’s epidermis, so everyone feels sore and itchy.”
Karen didn’t pay attention to what Larissa said, her attention was still on Lindsey’s caterpillar, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Is that the thing you said you couldn’t just touch when we were in Africa?”
Lindsey nodded. “The hair of this thing is poisonous and can kill you in serious cases.”
“This bitch is so mean, it’s a good thing you know this, otherwise with such a large group of us going to the hospital, the Royal Food Place would be closed for business tomorrow.” Larissa was angry and hateful. “What a vicious method.”
Lindsey laughed bitterly, she also did not expect Aurora actually know this, and also made everyone in a mess.
When she was done, she got up and went to the closet to find clothes for them to change into, and took the ointment her grandfather used to make for them to rub.
The prickly sensation gradually disappeared, several people in the room cursed Aurora for a while, opened the door and went to the living room together.
Bruce and others still have not gotten the burrs on their bodies clean, all of them sitting there with red faces and thick necks, sweating, each cleaning up. lindsey put the ointment on the coffee table and reached out and dug up a little to Bruce and let the others wipe themselves.
Tossed a gas, the prickly feeling also disappeared almost, Bruce called the men in the house to the training room, followed by a phone call to the men’s clothing store, sent more than a dozen sets of men’s clothing over to everyone to change.
The accidental interruption caused the faces of all the people are not very good expression, each face is red and swollen, naturally also not good to go out to meet people.
Bruce felt guilty, so he called the kitchen of the Royal Food Place to bring the food to the old house, and arranged for Hector to drive to the skewer store and get a large pile of skewers and set up a banquet in the courtyard.
When Cary and Carl saw that they were going to eat at home, they called their respective girlfriends to come over as well.
When Charlotte and her wife arrived, they saw a yard full of people with normal skin on their faces and went crazy with laughter.
“Good sister, you just stop laughing, if you keep laughing, someone should be able to resist the urge to kill.” Lindsey looked at Charlotte speechlessly. “You should at least have some sympathy.”
“I don’t have any sympathy for her, I’d have to kill her to be happy.” Charlotte patted her shoulder and said with concern, “How’s it going? It’s not affecting the baby, is it?”
Lindsey shook her head, her face looking very depressed. “Luckily I know how to handle it, if I didn’t know how to go to the hospital, I’m afraid it would have affected.”
“This is clearly murder on her part, this is something that will definitely not be tolerated!” Charlotte listened to Lindsey finish, instantly stormed. “Since she doesn’t give The Palvin family any face, we have nothing to be polite about.”
After scolding, she turned her head and called out to Mack, coldly saying, “Call the Security Division immediately, no matter where she is hiding, find her.”
Mack nodded and picked up his phone and went aside to make a call.
If the victims were only Lindsey and Bruce, this matter would not be revealed easily. The Palvin family’s reputation is very special, and Aurora’s trouble is like throwing stones at the Palvin family’s door.
After the phone call, Mack sat back and whispered a few words to Charlotte, his face gentle, and thoughtfully gave her a smooth back.
The security of the old house was good, and the press couldn’t even get close.
After Aurora left the Imperial Food Place, she expected to see numerous ambulances, whistling past the spectacular scene. The Grant family had not come out after the group entered the old house.
When she was wondering, her cell phone, which she had left in the passenger seat, suddenly rang. She reached for it and looked at the number. Her face turned white instantly and she shivered as she slid open the answer button. “Grandpa.”
“You get your ass back to the Royal Garden right now!” Old Mr. Palvin angrily gave the order, the phone just snapped shut, his body crooked and plummeted.
“Old Mr. Palvin …” The guard was alarmed and immediately notified the medical team to bring in the doctor.
In a few moments, Old Mr. Palvin was put on a stretcher and rushed to the General Hospital.
The people in the old house of The Grant family were unaware of this and had a barbecue after dinner until after 10 o’clock at night.
Randy was the last to leave, and when he came to the front door of the Grant Residence, he stopped and looked at Bruce with obscure eyes. “I’m sorry for what happened today.
“It has nothing to do with you. She would have done it even if you hadn’t.” Bruce curled his lips blandly. “Stay away from her in the future and save yourself from being sold again.”
