Brucille was confused by his kneeling. It wasn’t what he had expected would happen.
“Well then, how about you put this bottle of beer down and drink this glass of red wine, and then I’ll let you go?”
Brucille glanced at Morgan, who was still kneeling on the ground. Then, he stepped away to bring him a glass of red wine, which he had secretly added a few pills into.
Then, he swirled it a few times, and handed it to Morgan.
Morgan was exceptionally grateful to Brucille. He thought that Brucille had already accepted his apology. After all, Morgan was kneeling before him.
He picked up the glass of red wine and gulped it down.
Then, Brucille began, “Well, I’ll cut the price by half, and you’ll only need to pay me 500 thousand yuan. However, you’ll have to do me a favour by telling me one of Maxwell’s secrets. If you can do that, I’ll let you leave safely and won’t lay a finger on you ever again.”
Morgan was indeed a flip-flopper. His backbone was as pliable as plastic.
He quickly told Brucille that Maxwell had a secret lover, and even gave him her house address and phone number.
Then, Morgan transferred 500 thousand yuan to his bank account. At last, Brucille helped Morgan up with both arms and gave him a warm hug.
“Morgan, although you are a despicable sc*mbag who betrayed your boss for glory, there’ll be plenty of room for you to shine by my side. If Maxwell fires you one day, you’ll be welcomed here.”
The women in the room were stunned. After all, they both acted like long-lost brothers at the moment.
At the door, Brucille waved to them, then left.
Morgan spat to his subordinates in disgust, “I’m not that weak. I know when to put up a fight, and when to surrender. There’s no point putting my life at stake. All of you, get the f*ck out of my way.”
That was how nobodies acted. As the saying goes, the good people often had shorter lives, while the bad people tend to live longer. Morgan clearly understood the rules of survival. Brucille was going to kill him, but after he knelt down all of a sudden, he changed his mind.
Therefore, Morgan could be of use.
A person that would easily kneel down must treasure his life a lot, and that was Morgan’s biggest weakness.
After receiving the money, Brucille left feeling satisfied. He had gained a lot that night.
In contrast, all Morgan had was fear and apprehension. Therefore, he drove away as fast as possible. However, just as he was 500 meters away from the bar, he felt a sharp, wrenching pain in his stomach.
The pain was too much to bear. As he arrived at a crossroads, the red light in front of him showed that there was still 89 seconds before it turned green. Disregarding it all, he opened the door of the car and ran back to the bar desperately.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Brucille had put in a little too many laxative pills in his drink, so Morgan had to experience the darkest moment of his life.
His faeces flowed down his thighs throughout his whole journey back to the bar.
As he rushed into the lobby of the bar, he could hear the laughs of the guests. He felt so embarrassed as he sat on the toilet bowl in the bathroom.
He sat there for half an hour, then another one hour, then another two hours. It felt as if his intestines were going to be detached from his body.
In the end, he called an ambulance…
The next morning, Brucille hummed a tune as he, Monique, and his father-in-law arrived at the hospital.
As Tyrion got out from the car, he asked, “Brucille, didn’t you come here to see a friend? Why didn’t you bring any gifts?”
“Oh, I’ll buy a bunch of flowers later at the florist nearby.”
After that, he felt that he should explain further so that Tyrion and Monique wouldn’t worry about him. He added, “Don’t worry, it’s a man. He’s considered a good friend to me.”
Monique found it strange. After all, as she knew, Brucille didn’t have many friends, except for the two that visited them on the previous day.
She originally thought that she would have to rest for at least a week to get better. Miraculously, after soaking her feet in Brucille’s concoction, her feet didn’t hurt anymore the next day.
Therefore, she returned to work.
Brucille did not break his promise. He bought a bunch of flowers worth 128 yuan at the florist. Of course, all of them were chrysanthemum flowers.
There were red ones, green ones, yellow ones, blue ones, purple ones, and even black ones.
The colourful assortment of flowers were arranged beautifully.
Brucille walked into the Gastroenterology department, where Morgan was lying on the hospital bed.
His face was sallow and pale. It was obvious that he did not have a peaceful night.
Brucille tried to adjust his mood and look as if he felt sorry for him, but thinking of the previous night’s scene, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Hey, Mr. Hwang, are you feeling better now?”
Hearing his voice, Morgan felt as if he heard the scream of a ghost. His eyes sprung opened immediately, and there Brucille was. He thought that he was dreaming.
“It’s you! What are you doing here? What did you feed me last night?”
“Oh, Mr. Hwang, I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to digest all the food you ate last night, so I added a few laxative pills into the red wine you drank. I forgot to tell you before I left.”
Obviously, Morgan didn’t believe what he said. He cried, “You, you are evil. I have never been so humiliated before in my whole life.”
Brucille placed the bunch of fresh chrysanthemums next to his bed, chiding, “Why are you so angry, Mr. Hwang? I bought these chrysanthemums specially for you to wish you a speedy recovery.”
The moment Morgan saw the chrysanthemums, he felt his blood pressure rise. His face turned red, and he pulled out the IV needle in his arm, wanting to fight Brucille to his death.
Brucille quickly shouted, “Nurse, please come! Morgan needs help.”
When a few nurses and doctors rushed over, Brucille headed to the door of the ward and bade goodbye to him while Morgan howled pitifully in pain on the bed.
“Brucille, you son of a b*tch. You better watch your back!”
Morgan had a diarrhea so bad that left him weak and exhausted. He wouldn’t be able to leave the hospital for another three to five days.
Brucille whistled happily as he walked towards the surgical department, thinking that it was a good idea to take a walk around the hospital since he had some spare time.
A few steps later, he came across a familiar face.
It was the female doctor who had starred with Donald in the three-minute video on his mobile phone. She was carrying a large stack of documents.
When he passed by her, Brucille purposely bumped into her shoulder, causing all the documents to scatter all over the ground.
She shouted, “Do you not look properly when you walk? Didn’t you realize that you bumped into me?”
“I’m sorry, doctor. I was too focused on watching a movie. The scene with Mr. Chao in the equipment room was very interesting! Do you remember? It was on the morning of the 14th…”
The female doctor’s face turned red in an instant. She looked at Brucille with horror in her eyes, and collapsed onto the ground.
Brucille hummed to his heart’s content as he left, while the female doctor panicked, grabbing all the documents in a hurry and scurrying away.
How dare that woman do something so outrageous when her husband was just nearby! She really deserved it.
