The man, who was in the limelight, did not notice that the person beside him had retreated. Feeling a little smug, he reached out to touch Laura’s face.
Brian grabbed the man’s hand and exerted some force.
The crisp sound of bones breaking immediately rang out, and the man screamed in pain. His forehead was instantly covered in sweat as if he was enduring a huge pain.
“If you continue to fool around, I guarantee that you won’t break these few fingers.”
Brian’s cold voice sounded like it came from hell. The lively atmosphere in the surroundings was interrupted and instantly quietened down. The lights stopped flickering, and the man finally saw Brian’s face clearly.
“Tyrant… Tyrant King! Oh no, Sir Brian, please spare me! I deserve to die.”
The man slapped his face regretfully, making more and more crisp sounds.
Laura, who was pretending to be drunk, was extremely happy to see Brian protecting her like this.
The onlookers watching the commotion started to discuss among themselves.
“Didn’t they say that Miss Smith is Mr. Brian’s younger sister? It seems like their relationship isn’t simple, but doesn’t he already have a wife?”
“What wife? Don’t you know that Mr. Brian ran away from the marriage? Even if he ran away, after all, that woman has his child in her womb. Given Commander Ford’s character, this marriage still has to happen.”
Brian looked at the person behind him. Her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked a little drunk. He asked, “Are you alright?”
Laura suddenly leaned back and subconsciously reached out to pull Brian.
When Paul rushed into the night, he saw Brian hugging Laura. He walked to Brian and took Laura from him.
“Boss, do you want to send Miss Smith home?”
Before Brian could say anything, Laura started making a fuss in Paul’s arms.
“Don’t go home, don’t go home. I don’t want to.” Her voice was so soft that many men present swallowed their saliva.
“Bring her back to the villa. Call Uncle Ford to prepare a hangover remedy for Miss Smith.”
Brian took out his phone and looked at it.
Grandpa James had not given him much time, so he sped all the way to the villa. They arrived at the villa a second before they were about to be late.
The guard in the main hall pulled a long face.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Brian smiled as he looked at his grandfather, who was questioning him. He turned his body to reveal Laura, who was being supported from behind.
When Commander Ford saw Laura, his expression softened.
Brian told Commander Ford about what had happened in the bar, so the old man ordered the maids to take care of Laura in the guest room. Because he had to take care of Olivia’s emotions, Commander Ford showed a calm expression.
“Quickly sit down and eat. If you don’t eat, it’ll get cold. It’s fine if the food gets cold, but it’s a pity for Olivia’s kind intentions.”
Brian heard Commander Ford’s words and looked at the table. It was indeed slightly worse than usual, but it was not as bad as he had imagined. A tinge of warmth actually flashed across Brian’s heart.
Brian could not remember how many years it had been since someone had personally cooked for him. A ripple appeared in his heart, but he did not show his happiness on his face. He only got the maid to bring a bottle of red wine out of the wine cellar.
Commander Ford looked at Brian with satisfaction.
Olivia was already famished. She hadn’t eaten yet after what had happened in the company today. She picked a piece of meat and placed it in Commander Ford’s bowl.
Commander Ford tasted it. “The fragrance is lingering around the nose, it makes one salivate. Smelling its fragrance makes one feel relaxed, the aftertaste is endless.”
Brian was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. Grandpa James never praised people easily. Today, not only did he praise her, but he even used such a beautiful sentence.
Olivia blushed. She buried her head in the bowl and continued eating.
Brian took out his chopsticks, wanting to see if this meat was as delicious as his grandfather had said.
Laura rubbed her head and walked out while supporting herself against the wall.
“Grandpa James, why didn’t you call me to eat as well?”
Laura sat down rudely at the table, picked up a piece of meat, and put it into her mouth. Her expression was one of enjoyment, not at all like a person who had drunk too much.
“Wow, Grandpa, your chef is amazing! Why is this meat so delicious? The chef that our family has hired only cooks those few dishes every day, and eating them makes me so uncomfortable.”
Commander Ford’s face immediately became rigid.
Laura had actually said that his granddaughter-in-law was their chef? He immediately lost control of his fiery temper.
“Your sister-in-law made this. Children shouldn’t speak nonsense if they don’t understand the situation.”
Olivia, who originally didn’t care, couldn’t help but mock Laura when she heard Commander Ford defending her.
“That’s right. How can this compare to the chefs that dear sister hired from all over the world? There’s nothing expensive to eat here. I’m just a nobody.”
Laura saw that she had said something wrong and wanted to salvage the situation. She looked at Brian pitifully, wanting him to speak up for her.
“Brother Brian, I didn’t mean that. You should know my personality. I am straightforward with my words. I hope you won’t misunderstand my intentions.”
Olivia had no choice but to clap her hands and cheer. What a beautiful fake b*tch—she had put on such a vivid act. However, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with such a person. She didn’t care about such a character at all.
“Why do you keep talking to him? Shouldn’t you apologize to your sister-in-law? The Smith family is so big, but they can’t even teach you the most basic of manners. Old Smith is probably muddle-headed.”
Laura was shocked to hear this. It had only been a short time, yet Commander Ford was already protecting that little sl*t, Olivia. Before this, he had always doted on Laura.
Laura looked at Olivia somewhat unwillingly. “I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. I hope you don’t mind, although you two haven’t really gotten married yet.”
