“Can you be less flirtatious?” Laurel was a little shy because of Hayden’s words.
She thought, “How can this man be so bold?”
Laurel had heard him call someone “baby” before.
Laurel didn’t care.
Anyway, interests were the most important to them.
“You must have misunderstood the word ‘flirtatious”,” Hayden chuckled, his voice as charming as ever.
Laurel frowned.
Hayden continued with a smile, “I’ll let you know what it really means.”
“Hayden,” Laurel said when Hayden was about to hang up.
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’t forget our appointment tomorrow.”
“As long as you don’t break the appointment, I’ll never break
it.”
Laurel felt like Hayden was giving her a promise.
Laurel didn’t think much about it. She said, “See you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow.”
Laurel ended the call.
Just then, the cell phone rang again.
288 Mouche
Laurel’s face changed slightly as she picked it up. “Bruno.””
“Just now Nellie said you hit her,” Bruno said unhappily.
Nellie’s voice could be heard on the other end of the phone. “She fought me with Shelley. I’m aching all
over. Bruno, you must get justice for me!”
Laurel replied coldly, “Bruno, we have been together for so many years. Don’t you know what kind of
person I am? Have you ever seen me hit anyone?”
Bruno was stunned.
He was a little dumbfounded at that moment.
“Ask yourself. Haven’t I treated Nellie well enough? I always help her and do whatever she wants me
to. If I had not been. appeasing Shelley when they were at school, Nellie and Shelley would have
fought hundreds of times, yet now you’re questioning me. How do you want me to answer you?”
Laurel’s tone was accusing.
Bruno didn’t know how to respond.
“If you believe Nellie more, I don’t have anything to say.” With that, Laurel was about to hang up the
phone.
“Laurel.” Bruno felt Laurel was really angry and hurriedly called out to her. “I didn’t mean that. It’s just
that Nellie came

back with a face full of bruises. I’m a little anxious. I know you well. You definitely couldn’t have hit
Nellie…”
“Bruno, it was really Laurel who beat me with Shelley! Otherwise, could I have been injured so badly? It
was her!” Nellie yelled.
“That’s enough. I know Laurel couldn’t have hit you. Shut up!” Bruno lectured his sister.
“It was really her who hit me! How can you not believe me?” Nellie was agitated.
Laurel responded with a cold face, “Well, I didn’t persuade them to stop the fight.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Bruno might have been vexed by Nellie.
He took his cell phone and walked to the side. “Why didn’t you persuade them? You know Nellie can’t
stand being aggrieved.”
Bruno complained.
Laurel sneered.
She thought, “Who does Nellie think she is? Why can’t she be aggrieved?”
Laurel said, “Because Nellie said you didn’t like me at all and that you were going to dump me. She
said our wedding in a month was just my dream.”
Bruno was obviously pi ssed off. “She probably talked nonsense in a fit of pique. Don’t listen to her!”
“Bruno, marriage is a matter between two families. I really

all. In that case, should we cancel our wedding?”
“Don’t be silly. Nellie likes you a lot.” Bruno hurriedly explained, “She must have been mad at Shelley
today, so she talked a bunch of c rap. She’s been telling me she likes you very much and that she’s
happy that you will marry me.”
“But Nellie made me sad today…”
“Laurel, Nellie was really angered today. That’s why she was like that. Be good. You’re not a petty
person. Don’t think too much.”
“I’m being petty, probably because I care so much about you.” Laurel didn’t compromise.
Bruno understood Laurel’s meaning and asked, “Tomorrow is your mom’s birthday, right?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll have Nellie come and apologize to you tomorrow, okay?”
“In that case, will Nellie hate me even more?” Laurel said. worriedly.
But she didn’t refuse it at all.
“Idiot, how can it be possible? Nellie definitely doesn’t want you to misunderstand her either. Anyway,

our wedding day.” Bruno was trying to please Laurel.
Laurel had been with Bruno for so many years.
288 Wouchén
All those years, she had been looking out for him, while he had never cared about her feelings.
Laurel was nice to him, but Bruno took it all for granted.
He even thought she was st upid.
Laurel felt it was so sarcastic.
One day, she would make Bruno lose everything and regret it.
The two casually said something and ended the call.
Bruno put down the phone and turned pale.
He returned to the hall in a rage.
Nellie was having the family doctor treat her wounds. Seeing Bruno return, she quickly asked, “Bruno,
did you scold Laurel? She actually helped Shelley bully me! You should let her know I’m not the one to
be messed with and make her apologize to me tomorrow. Otherwise, I will never forgive her…”
“Stop it!” Bruno roared.
At that moment, Elise was also in the hall.
She was distressed by the injuries on her daughter’s body.
Hearing her son suddenly blow up, Elise was startled.
“What’s wrong?” Elise asked.
“What’s wrong? Nellie cursed Laurel and told her I would

dump her. Laurel is now mad at me. She said she wouldn’t marry me.”
“That’s good! Anyway, Laurel doesn’t deserve you at all. If you don’t marry her, she will beg you on her
knees…”
“Do you know what our family is facing right now? The 320 million dollars was given by the Lambert
family. We can’t do anything without it! The company’s stock price has been. dropping. If it goes on like
this, we’ll go bankrupt. Right now, we are relying on my engagement with Laurel to stabilize the Scott
Group’s stock price. If you mess up my wedding, our family will lose everything!” Bruno was furious.
Being scolded, Nellie felt aggrieved.
Since she was a child, her family had spoiled her, and she
hadn’t been scolded like this.
“I’ve just told Laurel you will go and apologize to her tomorrow. Don’t let her think that you’re upset with
her,” Bruno said bluntly.
“You want me to apologize to her?” Nellie’s eyes widened.
Ever since she was a little girl, she had been bullying Laurel.
Now she was told to apologize to Laurel. Nellie would never
agree.
