Chapter 48: The Dead Person Resurrects
Translator: Li Xinyang
Tabitha follows behind Brian, winking at her parents secretly, but Brian seems to have eyes behind him. He looks back slightly, and the coldness in his eyes makes Tabitha shiver. Quickly she avoids his eyes. Florence keeps frowning tightly. She doesn’t know how many words that she said just now have been heard by Brian. Now she is pulled to Su family. Does he want to prove what happened in those days? Su parents finally realize that there is something wrong with the atmosphere, trembling with fear, but they have to pretend to be fine.
A group of people follows Brian into the room, and Mother Su asks the servant to prepare fruit and refreshments. “No need to bother.” Brian’s voice is a little cold, “I come here today to ask you, why did Antonia approach me for back then?” Brian’s face freezes the atmosphere, and Su parents are shocked. They turn to see Tabitha subconsciously, but at this time, no one could speak. Brian glances at these people, and from their expressions and pursed lips, he can judge the authenticity of what Florence said just now. But as for some things he likes them to be clarified.
Su parents catch a glimpse of Florence and want to channel Brian’s attention to her. Mother Su’s acting skills suddenly explode, and she complains in tears. “Brian, you come to query us twice for this woman who killed Antonia. Antonia is looking at us in paradise. What do you think she would think? and wouldn’t she be sad?” This is the method that they usually resort to. Every time they encounter something, they use Antonia as a pretext, arousing Brian’s love for her, and then commiserating with Su family. It is also by this means that Su family seizes the opportunity to be as prosperous as today step by step.
Florence stands aside quietly, and she doesn’t speak from the beginning to the end. If it is not Mother Su who suddenly turns her target to her, she can be transparent all the time. However, after hearing what Mother Su said, she turns to see Brian subconsciously for she still wants to know what he would do on this occasion. If he loves Antonia so much, will he choose to let Su family off despite knowing that this was a scam? But this is just Florence’s idea. Brian says lightly, “Don’t always move the dead out as a shield. I just need you to answer me if she was planning to approach me? Actually, Florence can understand his feeling very well, and frowns. He would repeat a question twice only when he cares enough about a person or an event.
Su family could not avoid this sharp problem this time. The atmosphere can be said to be very tense. Su family members are almost holding their breath, for fear that Brian would erupt in the next second. “You say it yourself or wait for me to investigate in person.” Although Brian’s voice is calm, Su parents shiver with fear. They all lower their heads and do not dare to see him again. In fact, the answer is self-evident.
The atmosphere is in deadlock, but another untimely voice sounds. “Oh, what’s wrong with you? Why is the atmosphere so solemn?” Florence frowns and looks at Baron warily. She always feels that he is going to do something. Baron nods to her as a greeting, and then pa.s.ses over her and walks towards Brian. “What are you doing here?” Brian frowns with a cold face. Baron smiles, looks around at everyone present, and finally fixes his gaze on him, “Of course I come to give you a gift.” Upon hearing it, Florence subconsciously takes a step forward and moves closer to Brian.
This subtle act is naturally seen by Baron, and he is surprised at the change in her att.i.tude towards Brian. In his cognition, Florence should hate Brian. But now clearly, she is worried about him. A kind of jealousy gradually comes into being, so why is there a person who always loves Brian from the beginning to the end? And why is the whole world under his control? Baron’s facial expression gradually becomes somewhat distorted, and his eyes are full of cattiness. Today he is going to let Brian taste what it means to betray.
He claps his hands. Several men appear in the manor, and a woman stands among them, and the woman lowers her head so that it is hard to see her clearly. But it is obvious that she is under control. Everyone’s eyes focus on the woman, and Florence sees Tabitha covering her mouth and screaming. She focuses her attention, and when the figure becomes clearer, she couldn’t help putting her hands over her mouth.
Unexpectedly, it is Antonia who “died” a few years ago! She is still alive now! Shocked, puzzled, Florence’s mind goes blank and she suddenly remembers that when she first came to Su family to take away Nelson, she saw the white figure beside the bed, and the silhouette is the same as Tabitha! So she didn’t misread it, and it was not an illusion, either. Antonia has been staying at home for so long time!
Su family falls into a dead silence. Su parents suddenly lose their support and both fall to the ground. The smile on Baron’s face grows deeper, and he is looking forward to watching the change of Brian’s expression. But Brian just frowns slightly, not as shocked as he imagined. This makes Baron a little unhappy. He goes to a chair not far away from him and sits on it, looks at the people present with amus.e.m.e.nt, and laughs, “The old lover meeting, Brian, how can you say nothing? ” Brian does not speak, but squints his eyes on Antonia, who keeps her head down and does not dare to look at him.
Antonia is pushed forward, and finally comes in front of the crowd. She is trembling all over, and Brian’s face is cold. “What’s going on?” “Oh, I should explain the context of this matter. The next story is very exciting, Brian, you must listen carefully.” Florence also antic.i.p.ates the impact of the later events on Brian. She turns to see him
With some anxiety, but he looks calm. “Speak.” “Actually, Antonia didn’t get on the plane at that time. When she knew that your father was going to do something to her, she was ready to go away with her boyfriend. In the middle, she tried to make Florence mistakenly think she has already boarded.” After Baron has said that, he deliberately raises his eyes to look at Brian’s expression. “But then she ran out secretly and went to look for her boyfriend. However, it seems that she and her boyfriend had a bad time, so she secretly ran back to Su family. Thank to you, Brian, Su family has everything today.
