“You want to marry Zoey to Owen?” Sam Baker said before his wife could say anything. Sam Baker had already said her idea before his wife could say it, and as soon as Yami Hu nodded, Sam Baker sneered, “That’s ridiculous! One is a brother and the other is a sister, how can they get married? These two are not good for each other, they really piss me off!”
Sam Baker was so angry that he coughed violently, Yami Hu rushed over and patted his back, “Calm down, don’t be so angry. This is all still written by the media, we haven’t asked the kids yet.”
“Do I even need to ask? Huh? Look, look at the pictures in the newspaper! Don’t say they don’t know how to be ashamed, even we as parents feel ashamed!” Sam Baker was so angry that he poked the newspaper, and Yami Hu hurriedly put it away and handed it to Li Ma.
“Zhen Guo, calm down and listen to my idea, Owen, that kid really likes Zoey, don’t we all know that after all these years?”
“Hmph! To actually do such a bastard thing, when it’s really a waste to raise him!”
“Don’t say that. These two boys are so close, they must like each other, and Owen is our son, but he’s not related, and you were so worried that one day he’d find his parents and abandon us, weren’t you? Wouldn’t it be great if he married Zoey? It’s both a son and a son-in-law. …”
“Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Ridiculous!” Sam Baker gulped twice in a row and looked at Yami Hu, “You’re so old and foolish that you’re just as ridiculous as they are! Doing so is not just confirming their incest! Do you want the reputation that our Baker family has accumulated over the years to be destroyed? How do you want me to explain to my ancestors when I get to the netherworld?”
Yami Hu let out a long sigh. In that case, his own thoughts just now were also inappropriate. Regardless of whether Owen was his own son, even if he came out in the open, in the eyes of outsiders he was still surnamed Song, and was still Zoey’s older brother, so there was no escaping the word ‘incest’.
“Master, young master said he’ll be home soon.” Chen Ma hung up the phone and hurried out.
“What about Zoey? Are they still together?” Yami Hu worried about her daughter.
Chen Ma shook her head. “Young Master said that Second Miss left early in the morning. But Second Miss’s phone can’t be dialed.”
Yami Hu was in a hurry, “I don’t know if Zoey saw the news. She’s not as mentally strong as Owen, so she’s not going to be able to handle it. …”
What’s more, the newspaper not only reported on her and Owen, but also the bad state of affairs at the wedding five years ago when she broke off her marriage to the Xiao Family. The whole story was clearly aimed at the Baker family, or rather, Zoey.
…
Not a moment later, Owen Baker hurriedly came in from the back door. After a night, there is no such flying and warm demeanor as in the past, and there is just endless fatigue between his eyebrows.
Sam Baker’s anger flared as soon as he saw him, and he got up and walked towards his son. yami Hu was shocked and tried to stop her husband, but she was obviously a step too slow.
“You asshole!” Sam Baker chopped his hand and slapped Owen Baker hard on the face. The crisp sound immediately shook everyone on the spot.
Owen Baker had expected to be in for a lesson, but he was still confused when the slap came down. Staggering, he only probed and braced himself against the wall to keep from falling over.
The father’s slap came much more fiercely than Zoey’s, in a short while the handsome face was red and swollen, he just did not say a word, pursed his lips and stood there. yami hu how could he bear to see his own son being beaten like this? Heartache immediately red eyes, ran over to stroke Owen’s cheeks, “Does it hurt? Zhen Guo, what’s wrong with you? Zhen Guo, what’s wrong with you? You don’t care about your own son? You hit him so hard!”
“Mom, I’m fine.” Owen Baker spoke softly. Even just moving his lips like that hurt, but it made him draw a cold breath.
Sam Baker exasperatedly instructed the butler, “Bring me that wooden stick left behind by the old ancestor! Yami , get out of my way! A loving mother has many defeated children, it’s all because you spoiled and spoiled them every time, and now they’re causing this kind of unashamed bastard!”
“Zhen Guo, calm down!” Yami Hu was heartbroken, and when she saw that Sam Baker was determined, she turned back to her son, “Owen, hurry up and apologize to your father. He’s in a rage right now, and he didn’t hit him lightly.”
“Mom, leave me alone.” Owen Baker separated Yami Hu, glanced at his father, and with a ‘plop’ fell straight to his knees. “Mom, Dad, this matter is all my fault, and Zoey has nothing to do with it, no matter how I’m punished it doesn’t matter, please don’t blame Zoey!”
“You’re still protecting her! How dare you protect her! Good! I’d like to see if you can take it!” Sam Baker was so angry that he almost went out of breath, he copied the wooden stick and smashed it on Owen Baker’s back with a ‘pop’ sound, the force was so strong that he didn’t show any mercy. Owen Baker only felt a fishy taste pouring into his mouth from his chest, he grunted in pain, but his back straightened up and he didn’t say a word. Sam Baker was very happy to see that Owen Baker had been hit by the wooden stick, but he didn’t say anything.
The crowd was so shocked by the scene that Yami Hu almost fainted. When did the family ever have such a scene? Unable to pull herself away, she only cried and fell on Chen Ma’s shoulder. Sam Baker exerted all his strength and determination, and the thick and heavy rod struck Owen Baker one by one.
The heavy sound, in the large space, was unnerving to hear. Even the two children upstairs were woken up, and once they came out to see this scene, they cried out in fear.
I don’t know how long, Sam Baker finally seemed to have no strength left. The stick in his hand slipped to the ground, and he fell helplessly onto the sofa. Owen Baker was still kneeling there, blood spilling from the corner of his lips. Yami Hu pounced on him and cried, touching his face, “Owen …”
Owen Baker only felt his brain was muddled and his eyes were blurred. The look on his mother’s face was also hazy. Yami Hu hugged his son with heartache and ordered the housekeeper, “Quickly, call a doctor.”
The butler ran out in a hurry.
Sam Baker stroked his sharply painful brow for a long time before he finally spoke and made a decision, “Owen , you leave the country immediately. During this period of time, you should no longer stay in the country!”
The Baker family’s stock is bound to plummet when this story breaks, and it already dropped a few points early this morning. The board of directors will definitely take responsibility for this, and letting him leave the country temporarily is the only and best way.
Sea Gu brought Tian Qing home. The old master was not in the country during this period of time, and there was only a group of servants left in the house. Everyone was surprised to see him bring back a woman in a bathrobe. For so many years, even though young master had been out a bit, he had never seen him bring a girl back.
We all looked at Zoey for a few moments, but we immediately recognized her as the second daughter of the Baker family, the subject of this morning’s newspaper.
After the crowd looked at each other, none of them said anything.
Sea Gu was so preoccupied with Zoey that he didn’t notice the outsiders and led Zoey into his own suite.
“You wash your face, the room gets a new towel every day, just whip one out.” He opened the door to the washroom and gestured towards Zoey, who knew that at the moment she must look worse than a ghost, she didn’t move, she just looked at him inquiringly, “Can I take a shower in your place?”
“Sure! The bathroom is this way.” Sea Gu headed inside, past the bedroom, before reaching the bathroom. He looked at Zoey tentatively , “Shall I run the water for you?”
“No need. I can do it myself.” Zoey simply refused.
Sea Gu didn’t insist, nodding and giving her another worried look before saying, “If you need any help, just call someone. We’re all outside.”
“Good. Thanks.” Zoey nodded and went into the bathroom. Sea Gu taught her to run the water before exiting.
Out of the bedroom, only to see two small maids get together to discuss something. Sea Gu felt strange, lightly step over, eavesdropping a few words.
“It’s her! I’m sure she’s the face in the paper.”
“Didn’t she just get involved with her brother, Mr. Baker Family? It’s all over the papers that she had a room at the Sofia Hotel last night, so why is she with the young master so early in the morning?”
“Who are you talking about?” Sea Gu’s voice suddenly appeared, startling the two maids with a big jump of fright, “Young master, you’re going to be scared to death when you appear without a word.”
“Who told you guys not to do your jobs properly, chewing on words.” Sea Gu looked at them askance, purposely playing a dignified face, “What did you just talk about? If you don’t give an honest answer, this month’s salary will be deducted!”
Those two little maids weren’t afraid of him at all, “Young master wouldn’t do that.”
Sea Gu had no choice but to switch to another tactic, “That’s fine, you guys tell me what you just said, and I’ll double your pay this month.”
“Doubling the salary is not necessary.” The two maids were also generous, originally this matter did not want to hide from Sea Gu, after all, we all like this young master who doesn’t lose his temper and doesn’t have any attitude, no one can bear to see him being cheated by any woman, so they took the newspaper and handed it to him, “Young master, read it yourself. If you can’t read the newspaper clearly, you can also turn on the TV to take a look. Today’s financial channels in the city are reporting on this incident, as well as the news of the Baker family’s stock plummeting.”
Thinking about the conversation between the two of them just now, and then recalling Zoey’s abnormal behavior today, a sense of foreboding suddenly rises in the bottom of Sea Gu’s heart. He hurriedly grabbed the newspaper, and glanced at the shocking headline on the newspaper: Baker family broke out another shocking scandal, brother and sister ‘incest’ became a laughing stock, and the top-secret pornographic photos were exclusively exposed.
Damn!
Sea Gu cursed harshly under his breath, resisting the urge to tear this newspaper to shreds immediately and forcing himself to read the story in its entirety.
“Young master … are you okay?” The two little maids hadn’t seen him look this ugly before and couldn’t help but ask worriedly.
“How many more of these papers are there in the house?!” Sea Gu asked, almost through gritted teeth.
“There are quite a few. His Lordship has ordered a number of different financial newspapers.”
“Burn it all!” He, with his hands, tore the papers in his hands to shreds, one at a time.
“Huh? But if your lordship wants to read the newspaper …”
“Burn it! Burn it all! Don’t leave any of it behind! If he yells, tell him I told you to burn it! Go!” Sea Gu’s temper rarely flared. The maid didn’t dare to be slow anymore, and hurriedly answered to turn around and run away, but he stopped her again, “Also, no one is allowed to turn on the TV today! Whoever turns it on will be fired immediately!”
“Yes!” Goodness, it seems that the ripple effect of this is really big! Young master has become so scary today!
The hot water washed over her, but Zoey felt no warmth. The chill that rose from her heart and went straight to her feet made it difficult for her to stand several times.
