Chapter 946: 009 Comes Back for Her

After wrapping up the negotiation with Michael Auclair, Bernard Taylor had just returned to his car and switched on his phone when Jacob Taylor’s call came in, and Bernard answered on the second ring.

"Hello, Dad—" As soon as Bernard uttered the word ’Dad’, Jacob Taylor on the other end of the line lost his temper.

"Bernard, I don’t care where you are right now, you have half an hour to get home, come home immediately." Ever since Bernard was born, Jacob Taylor had adored his only son excessively. One could say that this was the first time in his life that Jacob Taylor had lost his temper with him.

No matter what Bernard did in the past, whether he was being spoilt and throwing tantrums as a child, or being willful and stubborn as he grew up, Jacob Taylor had never lost his temper with him. This was a first.

Bernard also knew that he had gone somewhat too far this time. He had abruptly returned to the country before his business negotiation was finished, so it was quite normal that the other party was upset enough to complain to his father.

However, he had not expected that when he left, even though he had arranged for someone to watch over Michael Auclair, he had only been concerned about Avery Graham being treated poorly. He had not anticipated Michael Auclair would have the audacity to do what he did.

When he saw those photos, he was completely shaken, let alone Avery, who was such a person. Knowing that she would see them, he could imagine the decision she would surely make would be to break up with Michael Auclair, but he just couldn’t stand to see her bullied and hurt, breaking up while injured.

Therefore, he bought a plane ticket and came back immediately to handle the matter himself.

As a result, the other party really did get angry and indeed took the matter to his father.

He knew his father was a man who valued integrity, and regardless of the size of the project, his father had certain principles in handling his affairs. It was indeed true that his actions had damaged the Taylor Family’s image in the eyes of their collaborators, so it was normal for his father to be angry.

Thus, although he had not had dinner up until now, he immediately drove home.

By the time he arrived home, his stomach was hurting. When the butler greeted him, he endured the pain and acknowledged the greeting briefly.

After crossing the courtyard and pushing open the main door of the house, both Jacob Taylor and Nancy Sallow were there. Jacob Taylor was shaking with anger, while Nancy Sallow was trying to calm him down. Seeing him, Nancy Sallow also gave him meaningful glances, clearly signaling him to be careful with his words later.

Bernard nodded, walked over, and sat opposite his parents. Jacob Taylor slammed his hand down on the glass coffee table, "Bernard, tell me, what is so important that you came back suddenly in the middle of a deal? Let me tell you, if you can’t give a proper explanation, I will act as if I’ve never had a son like you, and from now on, you will no longer be the inheritor of the Taylor Group."

Those words were harsh, and Nancy Sallow could not bear to listen, "Jacob, what are you talking about? We only have this one son. If you don’t allow him to inherit, are you saying you have an illegitimate child outside, is that it?"

This was why Jacob Taylor disliked having his wife around at times like these. When you’re discussing serious matters, she could steer the conversation off course in a moment. If he had an illegitimate child, he wouldn’t have felt such heartache over that incident with Bernard before.

After all, besides Bernard, he would have other children, wouldn’t he? At least there would be another consolation.

"Can you not be so outrageous? Enough, I have serious matters to discuss with my son. You go back to your room and sleep." Jacob Taylor said to Nancy Sallow, knowing that if she stayed here, he would really be unable to have a proper conversation with Bernard.

"I also have something to say to our son. Do you think you’re the only one who has matters to discuss with him? No, I also have questions for him." And with that, the two of them started arguing in front of Bernard.

"..." Bernard sat watching as the scene that should have been his became ludicrously dominated by his parents.

At this moment, his stomach pain was becoming unbearable. His father was truly angry this time. They hadn’t asked him whether he had eaten since he came back, nor had they noticed anything off about his complexion.

Bernard felt his stomach was really warning him this time, as the pain caused him to start sweating from his back. Sweating in this weather was indeed very unusual.

"Bernard, what’s wrong with you?" As they argued, they noticed Bernard wasn’t intervening. He usually had something to say when they fought, but today he was utterly silent, which was very unusual.
