Chapter 67
Leonard's face turned pale when he heard Bruce.
He knew that his uncle, who was only seven years older than him, was in a state of rage.
"Uncle, I."
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something.
Bruce, however, cut him off with a deep voice, "Don't, I don't have a nephew that is blind like you.’ Leonard choked.
Maggie was secretly annoyed, but she couldn't help but choke up.
"Mr.Tucker, I'm sorry.It's entirely my fault.This is not Leonard's nor Olivia's concern.It's entirely my fault. I apologize..."
After saying that, she kneeled to express her apology.
Even though her eyes were red, she still bit her lips to prevent herself from crying.
‘‘This bitter acting skill is truly perfect!’’ She thought.
More importantly, she needed to act well for them to be tricked, so their hearts would soften and feel pity for her.
Olivia was disgusted and couldn't help but wonder how Bruce would react.
‘‘Bruce isn't soft-hearted, right?’’ Olivia thought.
Olivia quietly raised her head, only to hear a calm voice above her head.
"Don't talk to me.I'm a neat freak." Bruce said.
His words were filled with disgust.
Olivia was on the verge of laughing out loud.
‘‘Don't talk to him.He's a neat freak.Isn't this a disguised insult to Maggie for being dirty?’ She thought.
In an instant, an indescribable feeling surged in Olivia's heart.
Bruce, on the other hand, brought his pair of eyes to identify the phony bitches.
Maggie raised her head in surprise, her eyes wide with disbelief when she heard what Bruce said.
However, Bruce ignored her from beginning to end, and only said to the person behind him, "Wake up the one who is lying on the ground."
Isaac Grahams, the young man who slept with Maggie before, was the man lying on the ground.
Leonard had previously rushed in through the door, knocked him unconscious with a single punch.
As a result, Isaac remained paralyzed in a corner from the end, and no one paid attention to him.
To be honest, the matter of Olivia being wronged by someone was actually clear as long as Isaac was woken up and questioned about the circumstances.
It was a pity that Leonard was so biased towards Maggie, and relied only on her one-sided statements that he easily accused Olivia.
But Bruce was different.
Bruce was unable to separate himself from her.
He opted to stand by her side without hesitations.
Olivia's eyes narrowed slightly, and she repressed her feelings.
After a few slaps, Isaac immediately woke up.
"Hmm? Who hit this young man just now?" Isaac was a famous playboy in LC City.
He drank day and night, and looked down on anyone.
The Grahams Clan had been fortunate in their early years.
They had gone from being penniless to being nouveau riche in an instant.
Their personalities had radically changed, but they were still as vulgar and rude as before.
As a result, none of the noble clans in LC City saw them as valuable.
His subordinate slapped Isaac twice after noticing that he still wanted to curse.
"Let me ask you something.Why are you in this room? Who made the arrangements for your stay in this room?"
"It was the Hotel staff.I asked if there was that service.She told me to wait, so I waited"
That was why he mistook Maggie for a female companion.
That was how the current situation arose.
In other words, the waiter's initial claim that Olivia had lured Maggie over was false, because the person who took the room card was Maggie herself.
‘‘Either the hotel is mistaken or the person who planned everything was going against Olivia at first but made a mistake!’’ Leonard's expression drastically changed in a matter of a few seconds.
‘‘Unfortunately, the waiter had left early, and he definitely wouldn't be able to catch anyone now!’’ Leonard thought.
Leonard turned around and looked at Maggie doubtfully.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Maggie's heart skipped a beat, she shook her head with tears in her eyes, and her lips trembled, "I didn't...I."
Her eyes rolled and she suddenly fainted.
‘What a clever time to faint!’ After Isaac got a little sober.
He looked at everyone in the room and asked, "Who are you? Who hit me just now?"
Hearing that he was too noisy, Bruce expressionlessly punched him and said, "Shut up.’
‘This matter came to an end’ Bruce thought.
"Go back and get fifty lashes,"
Bruce said to Leonard as he turned around and walked away with Olivia in his arms.
These were the rules of the Tucker Clan.
He was in charge.
Although Leonard was not a direct descendent of the Tucker Clan, he could be considered as a half- Tucker, thus he had to obey him without question.
Fifty lashes could be considered ruthless.
‘‘However, I did nothing wrong at all? “ Leonard thought.
Leonard's entire body trembled.
He did not expect that he would receive fifty lashes for such a trivial matter! However, when he heard Bruce's distinct voice, he could only nod, "Okay."
Just like that, Bruce left with Olivia in his arms. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
The subordinates behind him also tactfully retreated.
Olivia was still a bit unstable as she thought about what had just happened.
"Thank you..."
After Olivia finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that Bruce had already hugged her for a long time.
She hurriedly said, "Are you tired? Let me down.I'm fine!"
"Are you alright? Your knees are purple."
Bruce took Olivia directly to the top floor of the hotel.
The entire floor was for him to rest alone, so it was quiet and luxurious.
He enjoyed it as if he was a king.
He had a medicine kit delivered, and Bruce applied the medicine to Olivia himself.
Olivia was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't beat Bruce's tyrannical persistence.
"Behave yourself, don't touch me and try to take advantage of me."
After saying this, Olivia felt defeated.
The bruise on her knee looked very scary.
It was a massive purple-red region that hurt a lot when he put the medicine on it.
Olivia remained silent.
There was just one other thing that she thought of.
So she asked without thinking, "Do you have any doubts that I was the one who did it?"
Although it wasn't her intention, she had indeed done it by drugging Maggie and pushing her into her room, even if it was a retaliation of a tooth for a tooth.
‘‘If Bruce knew that the people he was protecting weren't good people and that they were even deceitful, he would be very disappointed, right?’’ She thought.
After Olivia finished speaking, he saw Bruce raise his eyebrows and casually answered, "So what?"
‘‘Even if she did all this’’
‘‘Even if she was scheming”
‘‘Even if her methods were vicious”
‘‘So what?’’ Olivia was taken aback.
Her heart skipped a beat simply because of his casual words.
There was a kind of gratitude that was about to come out, and it kept beating in her heart.
Just as her heart was surging, he slightly knocked the top of her head.
"You want to thank me again?"
"What a good guess!"
Olivia lowered her head and muttered softly, "I can only say thank you"
Bruce lowered his head and looked at her.
After a while, he suddenly chuckled and gently caressed Olivia's head with his big, rough palm.
"Then, you're welcome” It was a sweet, caring gesture.
Even his words carried a different kind of gentleness.
Olivia was dumbfounded.Her face suddenly turned red.
