Military Lord of the White Coats - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: The Backtracking Old Madam Taylor!

“You!”

As soon as Brianne said this, the expression on Old Madam Taylor’s face instantly froze and was replaced by an angry expression.

“Freisa! Stand Up!” Old Madam Taylor ordered in a bad mood.

“Mom, you… don’t really want me to kowtow to this brat, right?” Freisa stood up reluctantly with her face full of resentment.

“Freisa, if you’re willing to bet, you must admit defeat. Don’t tell me you want to go back on your words?” Shauna teased once again.

“You!”

Freisa’s face instantly flushed from anger. What was worse was that even Old Madam Taylor wasn’t on her side now.

At this moment, Zeke suddenly stood up and said, “Enough, Freisa! The bigger picture is more important! If mom wants you to kowtow, then kowtow. Don’t you understand!?”

Freisa instantly felt wronged. She looked at Zeke with a shocked expression. “Zeke, even you…?”

Zeke glared at Freisa fiercely and said in a threatening tone, “If you don’t want me to slap you, then go and kowtow immediately!”

As Old Madam Taylor’s biological son, how could Zeke not understand Old Madam Taylor’s intentions?

Asking Freisa to kowtow was nothing more than making a small sacrifice for greater gains.

As long as Freisa admitted defeat, Brianne would have nothing to say. When the bet was brought up later, they wouldn’t be able to go against Old Madam Taylor.

Even if Brianne really dared to go against Old Madam Taylor, she would still be the one in the wrong. Old Madam Taylor could accuse her of not being understanding and sweep it under the rug.

But these words couldn’t be said in front of Brianne. So now, Freisa had to suffer grievances.

“Go quickly! What are you still standing there for? Do you really want me to slap you?” Zeke said harshly.

“Okay! I’ll go! I’ll go!”

Freisa walked in front of Bruce with tears in her eyes and immediately glared at him fiercely.

However, Bruce smiled breezily. He was too lazy to expose Old Madam Taylor’s tricks. Since Old Madam Taylor wanted to play tricks, he would play along with her!

At this moment, Freisa decisively knelt down and quickly kowtowed to Bruce.

However, it was obvious that Freisa didn’t mean it. When she stood up, she immediately said fiercely to Bruce, “Brat! Just you wait! One day, I will make you kowtow back to me!”

Then, Freisa angrily sat back in her seat and glared at Bruce with a resentful expression.

When Old Madam Taylor saw that this scene was over, a satisfied smile finally appeared on her face again.

“Alright, Alright. We are all one family. Let’s stop fighting. This matter is over. In the future, no one is to mention it again,” Old Madam Taylor said pretentiously.

Then, she turned her gaze back to Brianne and continued, “Brianne, look at how reasonable your aunt is. She has really sacrificed a lot for this family.

“Since you’re already back, you should learn more from your aunt in the future. It will be beneficial for you to work under Serena in the future.”

Huh?

Brianne’s expression suddenly darkened when she heard this and she revealed a puzzled expression.

At this moment, Shauna, who was at the side, said directly, “Mom, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by working under Serena?”

“At that time, we agreed that as long as Brianne completes the three conditions, Brianne will be the general manager. Have you forgotten?”

Brianne’s eyes also reddened. Wanting to hear her explanation, she looked at Old Madam Taylor in shock.

But at this time, Old Madam Taylor said hypocritically, “We’re all a family. What’s wrong with making a joke? How can you take it seriously?

“We’re a family. Why are you so calculative? Moreover, Brianne doesn’t have any experience yet. If we rashly let her become the general manager, how are the employees under her going to respect her?

“Don’t tell me you want the Taylor family to be mocked by the employees for nepotism?”

Everything they said made Brianne feel suffocated and tears gradually welled up in her eyes.

“Mom, that wasn’t what we agreed upon before. When you guys made things difficult for Brianne, why didn’t you say that you would be calculative?

“Now, Brianne has worked hard to fulfill all three conditions, but you’re saying that we’re a family, so we shouldn’t be too calculative?” Shauna looked at Old Madam Taylor with a pained expression.

“Shut up!” Old Madam Taylor immediately scolded.

At this moment, Serena and the others couldn’t help but show smugness on their faces.

“Auntie, Grandma is doing this for the Taylor family’s good. We’re all a family, so why are you so calculative? Could it be that you can get additional benefits?” Serena sneered.

Freisa, who had just been holding back her anger, also vented out her anger in one go. She said with an elated expression, “Is it really that difficult for her to work under Serena?”

Don’t forget that for the first two conditions, she only benefited from my son-in-law. If my son-in-law’s family didn’t provoke Draco, would she have such luck?

She is already lucky enough to be allowed to come back, but she still wants to be the general manager? Let her ask herself if she has the ability. Is she worthy!?”

Upon hearing these words, Shauna felt even more sympathetic towards Brianne. She looked at Zeke and questioned him, “Zeke, don’t tell me that you think so too?”

Hearing this, Zeke immediately put on a straight face and said to Shauna in a reprimanding tone, “Shauna! Have you had enough!?

Can you be a little more sensible? Just now, your sister-in-law had already kowtowed humbly for the sake of harmony in the family!

Can’t she sacrifice a little? Moreover, isn’t letting her work under Serena very unfair to her? It’s not like the company won’t give her a salary!”

When she heard this, Shauna felt chilled to the heart.

She looked at the Taylor family members with immense disappointment. She couldn’t wait to leave this house immediately.

At this moment, Brianne wasn’t any better. She seemed extremely dejected.

Although she didn’t want to be a general manager, giving it up voluntarily and being forced to hand it over by others were two completely different situations.

She could give it up to them, but they couldn’t snatch it. Otherwise, what’s the difference between this and highway robbery?

At this moment, Brianne’s heart had already turned cold.

At this moment, Old Madam Taylor still acted like a peacemaker and said, “Alright! Stop talking. This matter is settled!

Brianne, go back and prepare. Report to the company tomorrow. As for your position, you can be Serena’s assistant.

Remember, this is a chance for you. You must learn from Serena. If you don’t do well, I can fire you at any time!”

Hearing these patronizing words, Brianne finally couldn’t help but tear up.

Was this charity?

But this was clearly what she deserved. Not only did they forcefully snatch it, but they also treated her like a beggar. Was this reality?
