George Brown listened to his words, an old face only felt completely disgraced, simply unable to lift his head.
Not long after, the butler served tea and also attached to George Brown’s ear and whispered, “Mr. Brown has returned and is now outside the courtyard, what should we do now?”
The housekeeper’s voice was so low that only George Brown could hear it, but Roger Scott, who had always had a good ear, put down his cup of tea and strode out as soon as he heard it.
Seeing this, George Brown hurriedly urged, “Quick! Go and check on him, don’t let him fight here!”
The butler realised that Roger Scott had heard everything he had said and, without hesitation, slapped himself twice before going after him.
Roger Scott, who is nearly middle-aged but has always exercised as much as any young man, rushed out into the yard in just a few moments to see Cornel Brown scolding the flower farmer, too far away to be heard.
Only the next second, Cornel Brown’s wail of pain came out
“Wait, wait!”
Cornel Brown fell to the ground with a punch and looked up with a wail, covering his face, only to see Roger Scott approaching again, his raised hand about to fall again, causing him to cry out in fear.
Roger Scott gave him a look, “Wait? What are you waiting for? You’re the one who’s going to get hit!”
If he waited, he wouldn’t be able to do it again!
With a thought, Roger Scott pounced on him and punched him like he was venting all his frustrations.
When he was pulled away, he was unharmed, but Cornel Brown’s face was bruised and battered to the core.
Cornel Brown was helped to his feet quickly and spat harshly, “Roger Scott, what kind of madness has brought you to the Browns to fight!”
“You know what you’ve done!” Roger Scott waved away the servant who was holding his hand and foot and met his angry eyes without fear.
“Me?” Cornel Brown looked innocent, “What did I do to you?”
“Don’t give me that bullshit, can you still deny what happened to Elena?”
Elena, Elena Bush!
Cornel Brown woke up, but he couldn’t keep his anger down, and now his mouth was hurting from moving, “Roger Scott!!!”
He stepped forward, grimacing, to return the favour.
But before he could do so, George Brown stepped forward with his cane in his hand and a grim look on his face, “Cornel Brown, what are you trying to do?”
A low bark, just in time, made him withdraw his fist.
Cornel Brown covered his face, upset, “Dad, can’t you see that? It was him, Roger Scott, who was beating me, not me beating him!”
“I wouldn’t have had to hit you if you hadn’t done something to Elena first that you shouldn’t have!” What’s more, he wasn’t just going to hit him, he was going to wake him up!
He was going to show him that the only reason he could live in such peace and quiet was because Elena Bush had paid for it all with herself!
Even though Cornel Brown was aggrieved and frustrated, a cold look from George Brown immediately put him at ease.
George Brown tightened his grip on his cane and said, “What, is he not right?”
“Dad ……” Cornel Brown was a little indignant.
George Brown glared at him, “Let’s just forget about it! You get back to me!”
With that, he turned to Roger Scott, “Roger, I know you wanted to hit him twenty years ago and this time it’s all because of Elena that you’re so angry, so I don’t blame you.”
Roger Scott’s hand tightened and loosened into a fist, and his nerves relaxed a little.
“Now that George Brown has spoken, I’ll let this one slide, but I have one more thing to say to you!” The last words were obviously spoken looking at Cornel Brown.
George Brown held down the agitated Cornel Brown and said calmly, “Go ahead.”
Roger Scott pulled at the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of sarcasm, “Cornel Brown, twenty years ago I found out that you were a coward who couldn’t afford any responsibility and couldn’t give the woman I loved the happiness she wanted, and twenty years later you’re even less of a man, no, you’re nothing at all!”
In the beginning he had destroyed his own true happiness, and now he was burying his son’s happiness!
“What did you say!” Cornel Brown, with a look of shame on his face, broke free of George Brown’s grip and rushed forward, “Roger Scott, I’ve been wanting to ask you for a long time, what the hell are you! Who the hell are you to meddle in our affairs at The Browns!?”
His finger pointed to his head as he reminded him from above, “Roger Scott, you must know that that is my son, my daughter-in-law, what you do and what you should do is the business of the Browns, don’t think that because Logan Brown respects you that you really see yourself as a father figure, in the end, you are just a childless, pathetic man!”
“Who says I’m not entitled? And who says I’m childless?” Roger Scott laughed easily and a meaningful look was thrown at George Brown.
George Brown frowned, and only then did he notice the calmness and equanimity in him.
Roger Scott nonchalantly reached into his pocket before pulling out his account book and flipping it open and handing it to Cornel Brown, “Sorry, Elena has officially become my daughter two days ago and Logan Brown is my son-in-law, why shouldn’t I be in charge of what goes on between them! ”
“When did you …… ……”
Cornel Brown looked stunned, simply in disbelief.
Roger Scott smiled coldly at him, “Mr. Browns, I trusted you to let my daughter marry into the Browns, and now my daughter is suffering at the Browns, and even being used as a sacrifice, and you have done so many things that you shouldn’t have done, why shouldn’t I beat you! ”
By the end of his sentence, his words came out almost as a growl and his face was grim and frightening.
Cornel Brown opened his mouth, not knowing what to say at all.
George Brown was the first to digest the news and without hesitation he stepped forward and hit Cornel Brown hard on the shoulder with his cane, his face cold, “Disgraceful thing, get your ass back in there!”
“But, Dad ……”
“You say another word and I won’t forgive you!” George Brown’s words were full of menace.
Cornel Brown could not refuse to listen, so he dragged his wretched body back to the house, grimacing, and sent the butler to call the doctor.
George Brown took a deep breath and met the eyes of Roger Scott at that moment, “Roger, I didn’t do enough about this and I didn’t make him realise his mistake after all, I’m sorry ……”
