Chapter 25: Bernice Kennedy Was So Embarrassed
Chapter 25: Bernice Kennedy Was So Embarrassed
Gianna walked towards them who were in the middle of a fight.
Bruce chose to not involve himself in the dispute at the moment.
After all, Bernice had brought him a lot of trouble when she kept on bothering him back in school.
He probably did not want to get himself some more trouble now.
Looking at the two people who were twisting with each other on the floor, she suddenly gave a hard kick.
“Ouch!” It was Bernice shrilling.
Gianna yelled too, “Oh, have I kicked the wrong person?”
“Hurry up and get this crazy woman off me!”
“Alright.” Gianna squatted.
She pushed Maureen.
Yet as she pushed Maureen, she was also pushing Bernice. She looked like she was trying to separate them.
But that was not the case.
“Ouch…You’ve pinched me!” Bernice yelled.
“Ouch! You’ve pulled my hair, Gianna!”
“Argh! Hey! You’ve stepped on my leg!”
“Urgh! You’ve hit my nose…”
Maureen was a little angry when she thought Gianna was really going to help Bernice.
Yet she could not help but feel that Gianna was even more enthusiastic than her when beating Bernice up at that moment!
Bernice seemed to have sensed something wrong too.
She tried all her best to push Maureen and Gianna away. Her face had swollen up with bruises and her nose was bleeding.
She was completely disheveled and she had not looked that embarrassing in her whole life!
She bawled at Gianna, “You hit me on purpose!”
“I didn’t.” Gianna looked innocent.
“Don’t you lie to me! You’re helping that woman to beat me up! You know what, I’ll definitely tell my brother about this! Let’s see how you would explain to him!” Bernice said recklessly.
She was absolutely certain that Gianna would fear Caesar.
Yet Gianna was unmoved.
She did not react at all regarding her threatening words!
“Did you hear me, Gianna? Do you believe that I’ll ask my brother to abandon you? Don’t you dream of marrying my brother one month later again!” Bernice said hatefully.
“Then please do tell your brother properly about this when you go back.” Gianna sounded aloof.
“You!” Bernice was so furious that Gianna wasn’t feeling threatened and she even shivered because of anger.
Bernice knew she couldn’t defeat them by herself. She gritted her teeth, “Gianna, you are going to regret this.”
Then, Bernice left in anger.
Before Bernice left, she took a glance at Bruce.
Bruce didn’t put in words for Bernice at all. He stood and watched her being beaten by those women. Bernice stamped her feet, “Bruce, Maureen doesn’t like you at all. She is going to marry Brandon. Do you think you really have the chance to be with her after being a backup for so many years? Aren’t you tired of being lied to?”
“Bernice, who are you calling a liar? I never liked Bruce. He flattered himself. Do you think everyone likes to play with people’s feelings like you?”
“Shut up, Maureen!”
“If you don’t get lost now, then don’t blame me for beating you up again!” Maureen looked like she was going to start another fight.
Bernice was terrified.
She cursed, “Just wait and see.”
Maureen felt disgusted that Bernice showed up out of the blue and disturbed them.
But Maureen felt excited when she thought of how badly Bernice was beaten up.
Maureen turned around and asked Gianna, “I thought you didn’t want me to beat that woman up? Now you’re beating her up yourself?”
Now Gianna only wanted to take vengeance on everyone who wronged her in the past.
“We’re almost done. Let’s go,” Gianna suggested.
The food here wasn’t suitable for Bruce. Gianna underestimated Maureen’s wilfulness.
“I’m just getting started…” Maureen complained.
“Then suit yourself. I’m leaving with Bruce.”
“It’s no fun to dine in alone. Wait up…”
Maureen then left with Gianna and Bruce while she complained.
In fact, it was already a little late. Gianna needed to go home and prepare for tomorrow’s ball. Gianna got into her car. It was the designated driver who was driving her car as Gianna had some drinks at dinner.
“I should go home now. Bruce, make sure to have some light food later. You barely eat anything just now. Come early to my house tomorrow,” Gianna bade Bruce goodbye.
“Alright,” Bruce nodded.
Gianna then asked the driver to start driving.
Maureen only realized after Gianna left, “She left without me?”
At the same time, Bruce’s car arrived with a designated driver in it.
Before Bruce got into the car, he heard Maureen teasing him, “You’ve just come back, and your mother bought you a car that worth a million?”
Bruce said, “I bought the car myself. I did some business the overseas…”
“Brandon, you’re nearby, and you saw me?” Maureen didn’t even listen to what Bruce said. She smiled brightly when she received a call from Brandon.
“Then I’ll wait for you at where I’m standing now,” Maureen then hung up the phone.
At the same time, Maureen saw Bruce was still standing beside her. She said in a fed-up manner, “Weren’t you leaving?”
Bruce got into his car.
He looked back while the car drove away.
Bruce saw a black car stopped beside Maureen, and a man who wore a pair of framed glasses and a set of black suits got off the car. The next second, Maureen and the man hugged each other.
Bruce turned around.
He became silent, and there wasn’t any expression seen on his face.
The phone rang.
Bruce took the call, “Kingsley?”
“It’s been some time since you came back. Let’s have a drink later tonight,” Kingsley’s husky voice rose from the other side of the phone.
“I’ll pass. I had drinks with Gianna just now, and I’m feeling dizzy right now. Furthermore, I have an allergy reaction on the chilli I have just now.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Gianna?” Kingsley asked.
“Yes. I haven’t seen her in a while. She’s changed a lot and turned out quite pretty,” Bruce said purposely.
Kingsley chuckled, “We’ll have to come out next time then.”
Then Kingsley hung up the phone.
The moment he hung up the phone, Kingsley looked at the screen and spaced out. Then, he dialled a set of numbers subconsciously and waited for the person to pick up her phone.
Kingsley’s name showed on the screen of Gianna’s phone as he called.
“Do you like the present I sent for your mother?” Kingsley was straightforward.
“You called that a present?” Gianna recalled Kingsley’s presentation today.
“At least it won’t make your mother feel like I’m anything lesser than Caesar,” Kingsley replied.
“You are nothing lesser than him,” Gianna blurted out.
If it wasn’t for Kingsley’s bad reputation in the past and it affected the judges’ judgement, Caesar won’t stand a chance in the Distinguished Young Scholars this year in today’s presentation.
Let alone the once in a blue moon event today.
“Thanks for your approval, my wife. I’ll keep it up,” Kingsley sounded flirty.
“...” When did they get married?
Wife?
Husband?
How could Kingsley say that out without feeling ashamed?
