Chapter 78

*Resolve? Resolve what? Brandon, are you scared? It’s that woman who shamelessly took the lead and even warned us. When have we ever been humiliated like this? Mr. Miller is here, and it’s the perfect opportunity for him to set things straight. Is he going to help us or that arrogant woman who knows nothing?”

Upon seeing Brandon’s dejected appearance, Hector became infuriated and immediately interrupted his response.

With great arrogance, he turned to Jacob and demanded his support, which caused everyone present to look at him with strange expressions, unanimously.

Has he lost his mind? Why can’t he understand a simple conversation?

Has he still not figured out why Jacob is here?

He even said Aurelia is making no sense. Who’s the one actually making no sense?” they questioned.

“Lucas! Shut up!”

At last, on the side, Samuel had a sense of morality. He pulled Hector’s sleeve and whispered to him to stop.

Unfortunately, Hector didn’t grasp the good intentions and forcefully pulled his sleeves away.

“Why are you pulling me? Am I not right? That woman actually wants us to apologize. When have you ever seen me apologize to anyone? Besides, isn’t she just a woman? So what if I bullied her? What’s the big deal? Let me put it bluntly. I’m willing to bully her, and that’s her luck! What are you a bunch of cowards doing? You all acted tough before but now we don’t have any face in front of Mr. Miller anymore?”

At that point, everyone was truly speechless. Looking at his madness, they didn’t know whether to sympathize with that unlucky guy or not.

Especially Brandon, looking at Jacob’s icy and stern face that gave shivers, he wished to turn around and slap that idiotic. Lucas to death.

At such a time, Hector still couldn’t understand the situation. Everyone wondered why he was still putting on airs in front of Jacob.

If Jacob fell for his act, he wouldn’t have come in and spoken up for someone else so straightforwardly.

“Jacob, 1-”

“Brandon, for the sake of your cousin, I’ll ask Marco to book flight tickets for you. Do you want to go back today or stay for a few days and go to Druobridge with me?”

Jacob said calmly and politely.

However, Brandon felt a chill surge from his stomach to his throat. Jacob was furious and intended to deal with Lucas.

The reason why Jacob had someone book a flight ticket for Brandon was not because of today’s incident. He didn’t want to settle the score with Hayden, but he gave him a chance to escape and avoid the situation for the sake of Brandon and the Yeager family.

Understanding all of it, even though Brandon wanted to speak up and plead for Lucas, he didn’t dare to say anything. He worried that he wouldn’t be able to leave once he opened his mouth.

“Jacob, I’ll go back by myself!”

“Okay. Dylan, go and send Brandon off!”

“Yes, Mr. Yeager. This way please!”

Dylan, who was called by name, immediately stepped forward and made an escorting gesture!

Realizing the unusual situation, Raymond and Samuel also hurried forward, wanting to leave with Brandon.

“Mr. Miller, we’ll go back to Druobridge with Brandon!”

“Why are you in such a hurry? Brandon is one of us, so I don’t need to be formal with him. But you, it’s rare for you to come here. I should treat you well and entertain you. There’s no need to hurry back. Stay in Nuthana for another two days, and when I go to Druobridge in two days, we can go together!” Jacob said casually.

“Uh, it’s okay. We came with Brandon, so we should just go with him. It won’t be fun for us to stay if he’s gone back.”

“Yes, Mr. Miller. If we go back together, it’ll be livelier on the way!”

Upon seeing Raymond and Samuel both changed their expressions and cautiously held onto the idea of leaving. Hector, the unlucky kid, finally realized something. His face instantly turned extremely ugly.

The sweat on his back soaked through the shirt in no time. He wanted to speak up and leave, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn’t make a sound.

“What? You’re leaving as soon as you see me here? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you? Is that how you show disrespect

Jacob’s voice fell instantly, and his expression became cold.

His sharp eyes, like that of an eagle, shot a gaze straight into their faces. The absolute dominance released immediately made them feel their breath hitch.

“Mr. Yeager, please!”

Dylan’s voice grew even louder at that point as he beckoned to Brandon. It sounded like a death sentence, casting fear into their hearts.

Brandon glanced at the three of them and dared not linger any longer. He immediately hastened his steps and walked out, with Dylan following closely behind to “escort” him.

The remaining three stood there, unable to leave or stay.

In an extremely stiff and embarrassing state, they remained rooted to the spot, watching helplessly as Brandon left completely.

And at that moment, the person who felt the most intense fear was the instigator, Declan!

Brandon was his biggest reliance, and now even Brandon had fled in disgrace. What hope did he have left?

He was not as slow–witted as Charles, who hadn’t figured out Jacob’s background.

As soon as Jacob showed up, he guessed Jacob’s identity. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person.suppress Brandon who was used to being arrogant?

Declan was now worried about what would happen to himself!

At the thought of it, his face turned pale, and his legs began to tremble.

“Jacob, today’s matter is all our fault. We were very rude to Ms. Swanson and Mr. Shawn. We are willing to apologize to Ms. Swanson and also provide certain compensation to Mr. Shawn Jacob, please consider our past relationship and not hold things against us!”

Samuel’s attitude had completely lowered himself. He didn’t have the luxury to care about his embarrassment anymore.

If they didn’t replace a way to get out of there today, it could become even more embarrassing and disgraceful than now.

After all, a powerful outsider didn’t suppress a local villain. Jacob was not an ordinary local villain, and they were far from reaching the level of a powerful outsider.

If they were to move the main battlefield to Druobridge, they might be able to avoid this loss, but not now!

Raymond shared the same sentiment with Samuel. In any case, both of them had the same idea that they must get away from Nuthana today no matter how much it cost.

They had to hurry back to Druobridge and absolutely couldn’t be stuck here for another two or three days.

“Yeah, Jacob. Look, it wasn’t actually a big deal in the first place. It’s just that our tempers aren’t that good, and it resulted in this misunderstanding. Ms. Swanson, here. I, Raymond, apologize to you on behalf of us! As for Mr. Shawn, since he is the right–hand man of Ms. Swanson, he will definitely be our friend in the future. If there’s anything you need help with when you’re in Druobridge, just let us know. We still have some influence in Druobridge. Here’s my business card!”

As Raymond spoke, he reached into his handbag and took out an elegant business card with white background and black characters. Instead of handing it to Aurelia, le directly handed it to Charles.

It was also where Raymond’s cleverness lay. He knew that if he handed it to Aurelia, she might refuse to accept the card. because she thought Jacob was supporting her.

It would just be a waste of words and strategy after all the effort he had put into speaking humbly and acting submissive. However, if he handed the business card to Charles, an ordinary commoner without background or foundation, he wouldn’t dare to decline his business card even after he had already apologized and said pretty words unless Charles was really stupid.

Sure enough, Charles became a bit flustered and took Raymond’s business card.

Then, he awkwardly looked at Aurelia and asked in a low voice, “Ms. Swanson?”

Aurelia looked at Raymond with slight surprise, then looked at Charles, who was a little overwhelmed after taking the business card.

Although she was reluctant to let Raymond go, he had already admitted his mistake and softened. She couldn’t keep relentlessly pursuing and attacking him.

If she persisted, Jacob could indeed take them today, but there was no guarantee that their parents wouldn’t intervene when they arrived in Druobridge.

After all, everyone shouldn’t act ruthlessly, the most basic rule of handling things.

“Charles, since Raymond said it was a misunderstanding and gave you his business card with such sincerity, just take it and keep it well. If there’s something to do in Druobridge in the future, we can ask for his help!” Aurelia said.

“I understand, Ms. Swanson!”

Charles then accepted the business card and nodded politely at Raymond.

Raymond secretly thought that Aurelia was indeed shrewd. His words represented everyone to apologize and make amends.

However, Aurelia’s response did not mention anything about the other two people involved.

Clearly, what she really meant was that one must apologize for themselves without bringing others into it because they could not represent others!

*Ms. Swanson is indeed a capable woman in the business world. Your generosity and spirit are extraordinary. Today, we can consider it as an opportunity to get to know each other How about this? It’s about time for a meal. I will borrow Jacob’s place and arrange a dinner for all of us, considering it as our atonement!”

“Sure, it’s a little simple. But next time when Ms. Swanson comes to Druobridge, we can gather again and have a proper celebration. How about that?”
