Chapter 281 Part Mood Swings (Part One)

Hearing Brian's cruel words, Molly realized that she couldn't endure what was happening any longer.

She glared at him with fire in her eyes, feeling totally fearless.

She moved her lips in an attempt to speak, but a violent streak of pain ripped through her throat,
causing her to gnash her teeth silently. She looked frustrated and utterly dejected.

Feeling inferior because of others' humiliation was nothing, but not being able to tell Brian how
despicable she thought he was broke her heart.

"Demon!"

As she formed the words silently in her mouth, her eyes threw daggers at Brian. Clenching her fists at
her side, she watched the storm that was now gathering in his eyes. Her anger made her forget the
feeling of heartache for a while.

'Perhaps too much pain can make one numb, ' she thought wretchedly.

"Demon?" Brian's eyes narrowed as he read Molly's lips. His face looked as if it was carved in stone,
his smile bone chilling. Taking one step forward, it brought him immediately close in front of Molly.
Grabbing her chin, he forcefully pulled her face closer. His eyes grew cold as he felt her quiver at his
touch.

"You've known me for a long time so you should know me well, right?"

His arctic voice made Molly shiver as if with cold. Her chin began to throb as Brian tightened his grip.
Molly stubbornly met Brian's icy stare, not giving in an inch. It was a fierce battle of wills that kept the
onlookers staring with interest.

While disdain and disgust flared in Molly's eyes, Brian responded with a ferocious stare.



"I wasn't born to be kind. Lives are two a penny in my eyes," Brian growled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Brian released Molly's chin violently. The movement sent her reeling
backward, nearly falling down as she lost her footing.

Looking up, she glared furiously at Brian, her blood boiling with rage. 'How dared he humiliate me this
way?' she thought, swallowing a sob.

Taking a deep breath, Molly brought out her phone and typed furiously,"What kind of person you are
has nothing to do with me. Thank you for salvaging my dignity, but I don't need it.

In the past month or so you had no scruples. You trampled on my dignity.

Now that I've lost my dignity, there is nothing to salvage!"

As he scanned through her words, Brian looked at her with cold eyes. Snatching her phone back, Molly
gave Brian one last angry look and stormed out of the room. There was no need to stay this time. Like
her, the burly fellow had lost all ability to speak.

Not bothering to stop Molly, Brian stared at her receding figure. His eagle eyes stayed with her until she
disappeared at the corner of the casino door.

His lips hardened and an angry mask shadowed his face. Molly still had the power to rile him even
though she couldn't speak.

The crowd of onlookers held their breaths as Molly exited the room. Brian stood motionless on the spot
where she left him. His anger was palpable, permeating the whole room which made everyone feel
oppressed.

Time passed by slowly. After about ten minutes, Brian snapped out of his dark thoughts and calmly
ordered,"Send him to Elias!"



"Okay!"

Tony quickly took charge of the situation without further questions. He motioned to the two men who
carried the burly fellow to follow him and left the casino.

After the burly fellow was carried away, Brian turned to focus his attention on Jason and the foreman.

The foreman cowered in fear as he met Brian's penetrating eyes. His blood was pounding in his ears
as he waited for Brian to speak.

"You…" Brian said in an intimidating voice. The foreman stiffened at the sound of his voice. He kept his
head lowered to avoid looking at Brian's face. "Don't give anyone extra help in future!"

The foreman stood rigidly. He cast Jason a questioning look as he held his breath but Jason ignored
him. Finally, with a blank look he said,"Okay."

Brian threw a glance at Jason and left the casino. His departure relieved the tension in the large hall
and the crowd started breathing normally.

"M-manager," the foreman stammered, calling after Jason as he was about to leave.

"What did Mr. Brian Long mean?"

Confusion was evident in the foreman's eyes.

Jason looked disapprovingly at the clever foreman and said coldly,"Keep in mind what happened today.
Learn from your mistakes."

His ambiguous reply did nothing but add to the foreman's bewilderment, but he decided to keep quiet.
He left after asking his men to prepare for the opening.



Even Brian's personal bodyguard had no idea what happened between Brian and Molly.

He had served Brian for a long time and he knew that his boss always worked with a sure hand. He
never showed his emotions and he always wore a bloodthirsty look. But today, he was irritated by Molly
several times.

It seemed that Molly was a worthy adversary.

Brian was like the king in a game of chess. He couldn't withstand even a single attack once his
weakness was exposed.

Driving down the street of A City, Brian was on his way to the hotel to pick up Becky for lunch. His
handsome face was expressionless, but his eyes were burning with rage.

The events at the casino kept playing on his mind. He recalled Molly's disdainful eyes as she stood her
ground. The tires screamed as Brian pushed the car to its limit.

Meanwhile, Molly walked quietly in the crowd. The noon sun was shining on her but it afforded no
warmth. She shivered with cold as if she was walking in the Antarctic.

Stopping in the middle of the street, Molly looked down at her feet. The sun was shining from behind
her, but even her shadow seemed sad and lonely.

The sound of an incoming message broke into her contemplation. She took out her phone to read the
message.

"Look behind you, Little Molly!"

Frowning, Molly looked back and saw Eric in his eye-catching Maserati coming towards her.



The car screeched to a halt beside her, causing a slight commotion. Pedestrians looked with
annoyance at the young man behind the wheel. Molly gaped as Eric's wicked grin came into view.

"Get in."

Eric tossed his head, reaching over to open the passenger door. .
