Chapter 268 : Watching the Buzz
“Of course it’s the hilarity of our cousin being beaten up for no reason and begging his cousin in pain to call the police for emergency services.” Bruce’s arm reached out and easily swept her into his arms. “It must be nice to see.”
“Mmm!” Lindsey’s eyes shone brightly and she couldn’t wait to follow him out of the courtyard.
A little further on, she did hear what sounded suspiciously like wailing and noticed the guard who had fallen outside the door.
Edwin is indeed very precious son, according to his current rank, he is not qualified to assign guards to his family, but he did it anyway.
If Old Mr. Grant were to learn of this, he would probably have another thunderstorm.
Pushing open the door to the courtyard, Bruce coughed lightly and deliberately shouted, “Hattie, sorry, the road is a little congested, we are late.”
Lindsey couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the sound of it, while quietly observing the situation in the courtyard.
Compared to the courtyard they just stayed in, this place was obviously much smaller, and the potted plants in the courtyard were not as exquisite as the ones over there.
Pushing open the door of the VIP room, the two had just stepped in when they heard Burton’s breathless wail. “Cousin, help me …”
“Huh, cousin Burton, what’s wrong with you.” Bruce feigned concern and walked over, holding back a smile as he looked at him. “You’ve been in a car accident?”
“No, right, it’s not like cars can get in here.” Lindsey picked up with a straight face, “Are you okay, cousin?”
Burton fell to the ground in a mess, struggling to tilt his head, a face swollen like a pig’s head, and said pitifully, “I don’t know, I just got out of the car and got smacked.”
“Hiss …” Bruce exaggeratedly let out a huffing sound and immediately turned his head towards the door and shouted. “Hector.”
“Here.” Hector walked in with his hands behind his back and his face expressionless. “What’s wrong.”
“Go ask the manager who dares to be so bold as to smother my cousin in broad daylight.” Bruce’s face floated with anger, realistic as any professional actor.
Lindsey gave him a quiet nod and turned her head to look at Hattie. “Cousin Hattie, when did you see Cousin Burton.”
The Hattie sisters were both a little stunned and heard her words and immediately you said one thing and another.
Lindsey and Bruce exchanged glances, waited for them to finish, and then asked, “That is, he was here the whole time, and then you guys were here the whole time, and he suddenly changed like this?”
Bruce heard the meaning of her words and could barely hold back his laughter, but said cooperatively, “Hattie, was Burton injured by one of your bodyguards.”
“That’s not possible, our bodyguards would be standing outside in good condition.” Hattie panicked at the sound of that. “First cousin, we definitely didn’t do this.”
Hertha was also frightened by Bruce’s words, and hurriedly answered, “We are so close to cousin Burton, how could we hurt him.”
Bruce was noncommittal, glancing around at their faces before turning his head to look at Hector again.
As if he knew what he was going to ask, Hector stepped forward and said in a cold voice, “I don’t see any bodyguards for the two Misses Hertha.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Lindsey, who had been holding in his laughter for some time, smiled with a pained expression. “It’s not because you guys got into an argument, so you had the bodyguard strike and injure him, right?”
Hattie completely confused, froze for a while before responding, voice shrill back: “That’s impossible, and Burton cousin has guards, our bodyguards simply can not fight.”
“Can’t beat it …,” Bruce casually picked up, his eyes falling back to Burton’s face. “Burton what do you say.”
Burton is not stupid, from Bruce appeared, to his later deliberate intimidation of the Hattie sisters, he knew he was dead miserable.
The beating was for nothing, and he couldn’t talk about it to anyone, especially his parents.
In the confinement of sneaking, this incident to Old Mr. Grant’s ears, not to mention his own, is the father can not bear that kind of anger.
Thinking about it, he bit the back of his teeth invisibly and spoke again, “Cousin, give me a first aid call, it hurts …”
“Pain also bear.” Bruce did not hesitate to refuse. “This thing has become a big deal, we all do not look good, first say clearly, in the end how the matter.”
The actual fact is that you’ll be able to find someone to clean me up. burton belly slander a sentence, bear the pain and lower your head.
This time he said is also wrong, do not say is also wrong, might as well not say anything.
He had a very good idea, but the Hattie sisters did not think so.
Hertha sisters’ father is a businessman by birth, since childhood, they were taught not to play with people lower than their own status, and meet people higher than their status, try to befriend.
Although Burton and Bruce are both cousins of the two, it is obvious that Bruce is more favored in The Grant family than they are.
They were not stupid, and when they could see that Bruce was trying to make things difficult for Burton, it made no sense to offend him.
The two sisters exchanged glances and Hattie spoke up, saying sullenly, “This has nothing to do with us at all, and it was cousin Burton who begged us to come out this time.”
“So …” Bruce’s lips held a smile and deliberately trailed off. “Burton, what do you say.”
“I …” Burton was dying of pain what else could he say. Just how he did not expect, The Hertha family sisters in the critical moment, actually did not have the slightest hand to sell themselves.
Bruce held back his laughter, Shi Shi got up and embraced Lindsey to sit aside. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t talk about it, if Great Uncle knew you were sneaking around, guess what he would do.”
Burton cried out in fear when he heard that. “Cousin, you save me, you must save me.”
“So, should I call emergency now, or should I ask your guards to send you back to the Royal Garden?” Bruce pretended to be in a difficult situation and raised his hand and patted the back of Lindsey’s hand, “Go ahead, I respect your choice.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Lindsey immediately picked up the conversation. “Or send it to the hospital, it looks like the injury is not light, in case the disability can do.”
“I’m going back to the mountain!” Burton shouted out in horror. “Go back now.”
Bruce shrugged and got up with Lindsey, greeted the Hattie sisters and went to a tea room to discuss.
He didn’t say a word about it, but sat with Lindsey for a while before leading her out of the tea room by the hand.
Back outside, Bruce excused himself to have business, then smiled and said goodbye to the Hattie sisters.
As soon as they left, Burton instantly wailed and cursed incoherently, “Bruce you wait, one day I will fight back.”
Hattie saw that the matter had come to this, stay and may be punished, so also dragged his sister, hurriedly left.
The bright and spacious VIP room, suddenly became empty, Burton prostrate on the floor cursing for a while, opened his mouth to greet the guards.
As a result, no one came in even if he shouted until the waiter in charge of bringing tea and snacks appeared.
“Please call a car for me, I need to go back now.” Burton said vaguely, covering his bruised mouth. “A taxi will do.”
“Sorry sir.” The waiter smiled politely and decently and said, “It’s closed today, cabs don’t run this way.”
“I have money, how about paying double the fare, triple is fine.” Burton said, reaching down into his pocket, the blood on his face instantly faded away. “No need for a cab, do you have a bike.”
“Sorry sir, I don’t have a bike either. ” The waiter put down his tea and retired respectfully.
Burton was furious, spitting out a mouthful of fishy sweet hot blood, gritting his teeth and reading out three words, “Bruce!”
Not far from each other among the supreme, Bruce probably sensed something, suddenly sneezed a big sneeze.
Lindsey looked back at him with amusement and slowly slid into the pool.
The water in this pool is a genuine hot spring, not the boiler-fired hot water in the ordinary room outside, and Lindsey swam freely for a while and greeted Bruce.
Bruce’s sneeze has been a endless, heard her voice, immediately get up and go over.
The pool was huge, and Lindsey was at the other end, smiling and waving at him.
“What’s up?” Bruce leapt into the water and swam quickly toward her, “Are you uncomfortable?”
“No, I’m a little worried about Burton going crazy.” Lindsey sat down on the steps and patted the water a little. “But it sure was nice to see him in such a mess.”
“They say you don’t have to do it yourself to have fun with something like beating someone up.” Bruce answered with a smile, his eyes shifted down to the small of her back and his sword brows knitted slightly. “You’d better not swim, my son is still young.”
“I’m a doctor, or you’re a doctor.” Lindsey gave him a blank look, but really didn’t have the heart to continue swimming either.
Bruce awkwardly scratched his head and sat down comfortably. “This kid probably have to walk back it, we take a break, follow up to see the fun.”
“Beat the dog, ah you.” Lindsey shook his head and lost his smile. “But the two cousins are doing pretty well today.”
“That’s called being smart. They’re actually a lot smarter than their cousin.” Bruce staggered. “Little aunt father began to take over the family business when he was very young, you can see the husband he picked for his cousin, she is a thief.”
“I can see that, my sister-in-law looks at me a lot better after we got married.” Lindsey said with feeling. “She and the third aunt used to look at me, tsk, tsk, that’s really.”
Bruce wrapped his arm around her shoulders and said, “Next time, if anyone dares to give you a look, just have Hector drag you out and give you a beating and you’ll be honest.”
“Hector also want to get married and have children, we can not always let him do such a simple and rough job.” Lindsey thought of Larissa with a bitter smile. “You keep forgetting about him when you arrange anything.”
Bruce was stunned, thinking about it seems to be true, a smile of embarrassment suddenly surfaced on his face.
Lindsey many times actually ignore Hector, because he really is like a shadow, when he should not appear, you never see him figure.
It’s only recently that he and Larissa have gotten closer, and it looks like they’re going to develop well, so she’s paying extra attention to this shadow.
Hector was retired from a different kind of military, so not as capable as Cary and Carl, but in the matter of protecting Lindsey, he really did an excellent job.
After a moment of silence, Bruce spoke in a whisper, “What are you going to do with him.”
Lindsey shook her head. “Didn’t think about it, I do think he’s not too young, he should go to the company or the fund, after all, for so many years, he has been loyal to us.”
“Then let’s go to the fund, isn’t Larissa also in the fund, just so they can double up.” Bruce raised his eyebrows. “Are you too concerned about him.”
