The entire Taylors family still hadn’t snapped back to reality yet. Old Madam Taylor was in a trance with a thoughtful look on her face.

　　The poor Richards family was still on their knees because they thought that the Taylors family hadn’t forgiven them yet.

Luckily, Old Madam Taylor finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly helped Albert up.

　　Although the Richards family apologized to the Taylors family, the Richards family was, after all, a wealthy family. Even if they apologized, it didn’t mean that the Taylors family would be able to flaunt their power over their heads in the future.

　　Albert stood up with a look of fear and trepidation on his face, and said a few words of apologies before leaving with the Richards family warily.

　　Even when the Richards family disappeared from view, the Taylors family had not yet reacted from the shock.

　　”Why has the Richards family’s attitude changed so much?” Shauna frowned and couldn’t help but say.

　　Her question was exactly what the Taylors family wanted to ask, and even Brianne was also puzzled at this time.

“That’s obvious! It must be my son-in-law’s doing! Franklin scared Albert to death.” Freisa said in a boisterous voice.

　　When Serena heard that, she also held Franklin’s hand and bragged, “Mom is right. It must be Franklin that intimidated Albert.

　　Otherwise, why would the Richards family apologize to the Taylors family when they are so powerful?

　　All of this is because of Franklin, unlike some people who are useless and only brag.

　　Grandma, Franklin has helped our family so much. This time, we have to thank Franklin properly.”

When Old Madam Taylor heard this, she immediately smiled.

　　She also thought so. After all, in addition to the Torres family, which had ties with Shauna, Franklin was the only one present who could intimidate Albert.

　　The Torres family had made it clear yesterday that they would not interfere in the Taylors family’s affairs, so that left Franklin.

　　With this in mind, Old Madam Taylor looked at Franklin with increasingly more satisfaction and joy,. There was even an obsequious kind of look in her eyes.

　　Although Franklin himself could not figure out why Albert was acting like this, he accepted the compliments in front of everyone.

　　After all, he also felt that Albert was most likely acting like this because of him.

　”I didn’t expect Albert to be so sensible.” Franklin said smugly.

　　Franklin then told the crowd in a pretentious manner, “It’s no big deal. After all, the Richards family is just a little behind the Simmons family.

　　I’m glad that I could help the Taylors family. Besides, it’s not the Taylors family that’s causing trouble, but a certain guy who’s causing trouble and bragging about it.

　　Perhaps he thinks that the Richards family is apologizing because of him.”

　　Freisa smiled and echoed, “That’s right, a certain shameless person just said loudly that he’s got her back no matter what happens.

However, he just stood in the back and watched without saying anything. How despicable!”

　”Yes, Franklin saved him, but he didn’t even say thank you. It makes people wonder if he even has a conscience.” Serena also teased Bruce derisively at this time.

　　”Oh yeah? You’re sure that the Richards family apologized because of this guy?”

　　At this time, Bruce spoke with a breezy look on his face, and this comment immediately provoked the Taylors family’s resentment.

　　”If not for the sake of my son-in-law, the Richards family would have dismantled you a long time ago. How can you still be here to snub us?” Freisa snorted in mockery.

　　”Huh… I thought you just liked to brag, but I didn’t expect you to be quite thick-skinned. If the Richards family didn’t do it for my sake, it was for your sake?” Franklin sneered.

　　”That’s for sure!” Bruce said confidently.

　　The crowd laughed, and Franklin scoffed, “Well, tell me then, what makes the Richards family owe you any respect? Is it because you’ve been in jail for five years? Or is it because you’re a bigger bluffer than anyone else?”

　　The mirth on the faces of the people intensified even more.

Despite the crowd’s constant taunting, Bruce said without changing his expression, “I can make the Richards family completely disappear from this world if I want. They will have to do the right thing even if they don’t want to.”

　　When Bruce said these words, he exuded a powerful sense of confidence, which instantly made the ridicule on the faces of the crowd disappear.

　　For a moment, they actually felt that Bruce’s words were true, because at this time, his confidence and aura were really imposing.

　　But soon, this thought disappeared from the minds of the people.

　　”That’s enough! Stop embarrassing yourself here. Even if you’re not ashamed, the Taylors family still has shame!

　　Do you really think you can get lucky every time? If it wasn’t for Franklin and Shauna, would the Richards family and the Torres family have let you off the hook this time? You’re not only ungrateful, but you’re still talking nonsense here?

　　Brianne, you better keep him in line. If he keeps talking like that, he’s going to get the Taylors killed sooner or later!” Old Madam Taylor said in a serious manner.

　　Brianne looked distressed. Although she believed Bruce, his boasts were a bit unrealistic.

　　”Bruce, stop saying that. I believe you.” Brianne did not want to upset Bruce.

　　Bruce glanced at Brianne with heartache and wanted to tell her his identity, but he knew he could not do so.

　　His identity was too special. His identity was a top secret of the war department. In addition, he had made too many enemies in the battlefield outside the country, and if his identity was leaked out, he was afraid that it would bring more harm to Brianne.

　　Thinking of this, Bruce dismissed the idea and said, “One day, I will hold your hand and let you stand at the top of the world!”

　　At this moment, in the entire Taylors family, perhaps Shauna was the only one who felt that Bruce’s words might not be just empty words.

　　He had already proved it once at the wedding, and now he proved it again. If it was a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence.

　　Could it be that Bruce had some other identity that was not known to the public?

　　Shauna sized up Bruce carefully, and felt more and more convinced that Bruce had a powerful sense of composure and confidence about him.

　　This wasn’t faked, but emanated from the inside out.

　　This gave Shauna a bold idea. Without proof, she didn’t say her guess out loud.

Afterwards, the Taylors family returned to the house. At this moment, everyone complimented Franklin. All of a sudden, Franklin felt a little smug and proud.

　　At this time, Shauna suddenly said, “Mom, since the Richards family’s matter has been solved, I think we should let Brianne go back to the company to help. After all, Brianne is also a Taylors family member, so if she stays outside all the time, I am afraid she will be criticized.”

　　She knew that Brianne had always wanted to help her father fulfill his last wish and wanted to make up for the harm he had done to the Taylors family.

　　However, there hadn’t been a suitable opportunity before. Now, the Richards family had apologized and hadn’t gotten back the $10 million, which, in any case, had Brianne’s share of the credit.

　　So Shauna wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to let Brianne back to the Taylors family company to help.

　　When Brianne heard this, her heart suddenly warmed up. All along, in the Taylors family, only Shauna helped her. Although the Taylors family did treat her badly.

If she could go back to the Taylors family, she would be able to fulfill her father’s last wish to make amends to the Taylors family and to be reconciled.

　　Before Brianne could rejoice, Serena stood up and objected, “No! Absolutely not! You think she can just come to the company whenever she wants?

　　Auntie, I know you’ve always been partial to her, but you have to be realistic. She’s never been in a company before, and she has no experience. What can she do?

　　We are already burdened with supporting such an idle person as you, but you still want to put her in? Then how about giving her your monthly salary?

　　That’s ridiculous! If you really want to go back, that’s fine.. The company is short of janitors to clean the toilets, so if she’s willing, then she can come back.”
