So this matter comes to an end. Li is rooted to the spot, wondering why Bonnie suddenly appears here. She passes over Austin and goes straight to Florence Li. She is about to raise her hand to slap the pitiful woman. Li could have avoided it, but she does not. She closes her eyes and waits for the slap to fall. “Bonnie, enough!” Brian’s voice with slight anger comes from her back. The expected pain doesn’t appear. Li slowly opens her eyes and sees that Brian is holding Bonnie’s hand. Then she shakes it off. Brian frowns, “Behave yourself now!” “Brother, now that you don’t love her, why are you protecting her? Everything today is because of her, isn’t it?”
She stares at Florence Li restlessly after finishing her words. Li is also stunned. She slapped him in front of so many people just now, which made him look like a fool. Why is he helping her now? Brian speaks nothing, but his face looks very sinister. It seems that the air around him is frozen. After all, Bonnie fears him, so she dares not to embarrass Li. Li is still in a trance, but Bonnie suddenly smashes a piece of paper on her, “Florence Li, see what you have done! Austin has ruined his prospects. If you dare to pester him again, I’ll let you pay him back ten times! ”
Both Brian and Austin are surprised. Because Bonnie has been studying abroad for a long time, she can’t come back to this wedding. Why does she know the things about Austin? And she even knows the secret news about the will! Bonnie feels two pair of hot eyes gazing at herself, but she doesn’t care. She turns to Austin, with much care in her eyes. Tears gush and she can’t stop them. “Austin, I can accept that you don’t love me, but I can’t stand that you destroy your prospects for a woman. I know more than anyone else about how much you’ve paid for what you have now… ” She cries, holding his sleeve in her hand. “Do you know what would have happened if I hadn’t arrived in time today? Do you even want to die for Li ? ”
These words make Florence immediately stunned. After Bonnie takes Austin away, she slowly squats down to pick up the paper. If she didn’t understand just now, at this moment she realizes the full meaning of what Austin did for her. His whole life is likely to be ruined like this! She holds her hair in a hand, tears pattering on the will, and the other hand tightly grasping her chest. She feels so heartbroken that she can’t breathe. “Get up.” Brian looks down at her. Seeing Li sheds tears for others, he feels bad about it.
Li kneels on the ground without movement. She looks up at him with her makeup in a mess. Her makeup is all over the face with tears. She looks a bit embarrassed. Austin has lost everything ,if Brian deals with him again, he will be driven into a corner.
Li kneels in front of Brian, almost collapsing. She doesn’t need any dignity but wants to protect the one who helped her. “Brian, please, let them go.” Her face is pale and her lips are scarlet because of her bite.
Even her voice is shaking uncontrollably, “Everything is on me. There is nothing to do with anyone– else. I can bear it alone!” Brian thinks with a sneer at the bottom of his eyes. What a stubborn woman! Now she kneels down on the ground for another man and pleads for him. Brian hides his grief and sneers, “You? How can you bear it?” He stares at her, “Florence Li, you consider yourself always right?” Suddenly Li grabs a knife and puts it on her chest.
It makes Brian look quickly back. His handsome eyebrows are raised and the anger in his heart immediately burns up. She looks at Brian with blurred tears and murmurs, “If it’s all my fault and Antonia’s death is on me, I can pay my life for her now, please, let others go.” Brian is so furious that he suddenly laughs. Rodney tenses up and he is worried about Li instead. Nelson, who is staying with Nanny Liu, sees that and runs over hurriedly. The little boy uses his small fists to beat Brian, “You bad uncle! I won’t let you bully my mom! ”
“Nelson! Kneel down! ” Li scolds him, “Beg your uncle to let you go.” The child is innocent, he just thinks that Brian is going to kill his mother. He has to kneel and beg him. Seeing Florence Li and his son kneeling to beg him, Brian stops smiling, and it seems that a stream of blood rushes up to his head at once. However, he holds on and turns his back to them. He wants her to go out! Or he will vent his anger on Nelson. Li finds his back shaking for a while, and he seems to teeter. She notices there is something wrong with him, but it is also the best chance for her to go. Li has to stop worrying about anything else. Therefore, she picks up the boy and leaves in a hurry.
After hearing the sound of footsteps has gone, Brian almost falls down and Rodney lunges for him immediately. His face is so pale. Brian looks up, but sees Baron smiling at him in the distance. His eyesight slightly gathers, he suddenly understands everything is arranged by Baron. Baron approaches him step by step, facing his cold eyes. “You called the police?” Brian asks. Baron responds with a smile, “Brian, do you feel good? How does it feel to be betrayed by your wife and child?” He tuts, “I feel sorry about what happened just now. What a pity, your girl knelt to plead for another man. But you should enjoy it and know how a person is forced to commit suicide.”
“How dare you?” Baron then smiles and shakes his head at him. “It’s just the beginning. It’s not enough. Brian, I will let you lose everything and help you to know how painful it is for a person to be forced to end his own life!” “Don’t seek to trouble Florence again, you have been warned!” But Baron turns back to Brian and sneers as he walks. “If in the past, I was an ant. But now you have an Achilles’ heel, which I have caught. Brian, the game is now on.”
