Military Lord of the White Coats - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Swallowed the IOU?

Draco didn’t have the time to reprimand his own men. He quickly turned around and covered the fireman’s mouth to stop him from continuing to speak.

“Nothing, nothing happened.”

Draco was filled with fear and trepidation as he took the IOU from the fireman’s hand.

As expected, it was the Taylor family’s IOU. Although a corner was burnt, the contents were clearly visible. Even the fingerprint that Old Madam Taylor had personally pressed was still there.

When he saw the IOU, Draco couldn’t help but gasp.

“Mr. Draco, is this the Taylor family’s…”Brianne opened her mouth, but before she could finish her words, she saw Draco facing his back to her as he stuffed something into his mouth.

Not long after, Draco turned back with his mouth bulging, as if he had stuffed two eggs into it.

“It’s alright. It’s alright. It’s not that. It’s not that. They made a mistake…” Draco said incoherently while chewing.

This..

Looking at Draco’s appearance, Brianne couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

After that, she saw Draco directly swallow the thing in his mouth with a pained expression.

Swallow… swallowed it?

Brianne couldn’t help but feel pity for him when she saw this. If her guess was right, what he swallowed was an IOU.

But the question was, why did he swallow the IOU?

Brianne had a puzzled look on her face. She couldn’t understand it no matter how she thought about it.

What made Brianne even more puzzled was that after Draco swallowed the IOU, he actually said that he would compensate the Taylor family.

“Miss Taylor, I apologize for my men’s disrespect to you before. There is indeed a big problem with the way we urged you to pay.

But don’t worry. I’ve already taught them a lesson. They will never do this again in the future.

In order to express our apology, the Nine Dragons Property Co. is willing to compensate you with a million dollars. What do you think? If it’s not enough, I can increase the amount,” Draco said apologetically.

Huh… Huh?

Brianne was stunned on the spot and her heart was beating non-stop. What was going on?

She had come to discuss returning the money, but in the end, she didn’t have to return the money, and she could even get an additional million as compensation?

Was Nine Dragons Property Co. and Northern Paul all so easy going now?

Brianne was bewildered, and she was a little unable to wrap her head around the situation. She stood on the spot in a daze.

“Miss Taylor? Miss Taylor? Taylor…” Draco called out to Brianne several times in a row, but she didn’t react in time.

Brianne looked at Draco in a daze, and Draco also looked at her in a daze. He even asked, “Miss Taylor, is the money too little? Otherwise, I’ll increase it…”

Brianne quickly came back to her senses and said, “No, no, no… it’s enough, enough. It’s too much. I didn’t react in time. Do you really want to give us a million?”

Hearing that, Draco directly asked someone to write an IOU to Brianne, and then called the bank.

Soon after, Draco took the IOU and the transfer record sent by the bank, then handed it over to Brianne. “Miss Taylor, this is the transfer record of the bank. Yhe money has already been transferred to your company’s account.

If you don’t believe me, you can call back to check it out. Otherwise, take this IOU. If the million hasn’t arrived, you can come back to look for me, Draco, anytime.”

The moment she saw the transfer record, Brianne was petrified again. On her pretty face, there was only shock.

What was this?

Was this still the same Draco that made people tremble in fear?

Wasn’t he a little too easy to talk to?

Those who didn’t know would think that he was some kind of philanthropist!

Brianne, who was completely unable to react, pinched her thigh hard. She was afraid that she was dreaming, but the result showed that everything was real. Her thigh hurted, and the money had arrived.

Brianne was extremely shocked. She couldn’t calm down until she left Draco’s company.

When she walked to the roadside, Brianne stood there for more than ten minutes before she remembered to call the Taylor family to report the situation.

Brianne called Shauna. After Shauna received the news, she was also happy for Brianne.

At this moment, in the Taylor family, Old Madam Taylor was completely stunned when she heard Shauna’s account.

“Shauna, is what you said true? Did Northern Paul really pay off the debt of our family without taking a single cent? And he even gave an extra million as compensation? How is this possible? Are you and that wretched girl Brianne working together to trick me?”

Old Madam Taylor had a doubtful look on her face. At this moment, Serena’s mother, Freisa, also said in a sarcastic tone, “Little sister-in-law, I know that you really want to help that wretched girl.

But, think about it carefully. Who is Draco? How could he not take your money and even pay off the debt? Not only that, he even paid a million as compensation?

Even a three-year-old child wouldn’t believe what you said. You actually want to deceive Old Madam Taylor? You guys are too naive to think like that.”

Upon hearing that, Old Madam Taylor instantly frowned and said resentfully, “Shauna, have you forgotten what I told you before? Your current priority is to obtain the Torres family’s approval!”

Shauna’s expression suddenly turned ugly. She defended Brianne and said, “Mom, I didn’t lie to you about Brianne. What I said is true. Brianne is now downstairs at the company.”

After Freisa heard it, she smirked meanly and said, “Hehe… Mom, since my sister-in-law said so, why don’t I accompany you to the company to have a look?”.

I really want to see what kind of means that wretched girl used to make Draco willingly pay off the debt and return a million to her!

I’m just afraid that when the time comes, I won’t be able to see the money and instead see someone colluding to deceive everyone.”

“You!” Shauna was suddenly so angry that she couldn’t say a word.

At this time, Old Madam Taylor slowly stood up and gave Shauna a dirty look. “Enough! Since that’s the case, let’s go!”

“However, I have to say this first. If I find out that Brianne dares to lie to me, then she will never be able to see Keith’s ashes for the rest of her life!”

Old Madam Taylor snorted coldly and ordered her people to prepare a car to drive to Taylor Co.’s location.

Not long after, Old Madam Taylor’s car appeared below the company building of Taylor Co.. Along with her were Shauna and Freisa.

Shauna had just gotten out of the car when she saw Brianne, who had been waiting outside the company building. From the looks of it, she had been waiting here for quite some time.

“Grandma.” Brianne walked over and greeted Old Madam Taylor. However, Old Madam Taylor clearly didn’t take her seriously and only lightly nodded her head.

“Brianne, did you tell Shauna the truth on the phone?” Old Madam Taylor slowly asked.

Without waiting for Brianne to answer, Freisa warned her in a sarcastic tone, “It’s still not too late to confess now. Otherwise, we’ll go up and check it out later. If you don’t have the money, you’ll be shamed.”

Brianne frowned and glanced at Freisa in disgust. She then said to Old Madam Taylor calmly, “Grandma, the account was transferred by Draco in front of me.

He even gave me an IOU while saying that if the bill isn’t received, I can go to him to get the money at any time.”

As she spoke, Brianne took out the IOU written by Draco, and there was even Draco’s fingerprint on it.

When Freisa saw it, she immediately laughed as she said, “Yo, not bad, your lie is really impeccable. Even the IOU was prepared in advance. Are you a fool? Or do you think we are fools?

“With just one fingerprint, you can even say that he’s the mayor. Why don’t you brag about that?”
