Chapter 984: 015 Enemies on a Narrow Road_7

This woman, if it weren’t for the sake of her mother, she definitely wouldn’t let her be so smug right now.

"What do you think? Avery Graham, shameless as you are, yet you dare to bare your fangs and make trouble for our family, this is just repaying you for what you did that day on behalf of my brother. As for our score, let’s settle it slowly in the future." Jollie Auclair shouted without knowing the severity of the situation, she really disliked Avery too much.

Before Avery, she had a very good relationship with her mother, and her brother pampered her in every way. But ever since Avery joined their family, look at how stingy her brother became, not even willing to buy her a cell phone, and her mother, always telling her to learn from Avery, calling Avery her role model and such.

Bullshit role model, nothing but a woman with two faces.

Jollie Auclair also knew she couldn’t make too much of a scene in such a place, so even though there was still a lot of pent-up anger inside her, she knew it was time to leave. Making Avery look embarrassed for a moment was quite satisfying.

However, just as she had turned around, Bernard Taylor stood up, blocked her path and coldly said, "Apologize."

"What?" Facing Bernard Taylor, Jollie Auclair still cluelessly retorted, "Who do you think you are? Avery’s boyfriend? You tell me to apologize and I should just apologize? I simply won’t—"

Jollie Auclair was being stubborn. Adelle Turner was standing there; she had seen everything early on but she didn’t come forward to stop it. She hadn’t attended the celebration banquet Jacob Taylor had held for Bernard Taylor that day, so she didn’t know Bernard’s identity.

Moved by jealousy towards Avery or not, it had been half a month since she broke up with Michael Auclair, but Michael had still not agreed to be her boyfriend. She knew that Avery remained in Michael’s heart.

She didn’t quite understand—the relationship between Avery and Michael wasn’t that long. How could that woman have gained such a deep place in Michael’s heart while she herself, having known Michael several years longer than Avery, still couldn’t attain it?

"Are you sure?" Bernard Taylor coldly asked.

"Absolutely positive," Jollie Auclair replied, head held high and very arrogantly.

Bernard Taylor’s expression suddenly changed. Avery, having wiped her face, saw Bernard’s expression change, and she remembered the first time Bernard changed his expression was many years ago. They were on the street when a hooligan tried to harass her. Bernard’s face immediately darkened then too, and the hooligan had a very miserable end, very miserable.

But Jollie Auclair was a woman. Bernard didn’t intend to hit her as well, did he? With one punch from Bernard, how could Jollie withstand it? She called out, "Bernard, forget it. She’s just a girl; we don’t need to bother with this."

"Last chance, apologize," Bernard ignored Avery’s words. Today, he was truly in the mood to make an issue of it.

"..." Jollie Auclair was truly at a loss for words. Even after she said she wouldn’t apologize, was this man deaf or just not understanding?

"Alright, I gave you the chance, and you didn’t want it. Call your manager over, tell him to call the police for me," Bernard said bluntly, making the request directly to the waiter.

Waiter + Jollie Auclair: "..."

It’s just a little incident, right? Does it necessitate going to the extreme of calling the police?

The waiter wanted to step forward and mediate, but Bernard seemed to see through her intention and said coldly, "Tell your manager my name is Bernard Taylor. If I don’t get a satisfactory response to today’s incident, I’ll make sure he won’t get off lightly."

The waiter was a bit shocked, and over at Adelle Turner and her friends, they were also startled by Bernard’s commanding presence. Suddenly, one of Adelle’s friends spoke, "He said his name is Bernard Taylor, isn’t he the new CEO of the Taylor Group?"

"What, the Bernard Taylor from the Taylor Group?" Everyone had heard of the Taylor Group, and if this was indeed that man, then today’s trivial matter may have just escalated significantly.

"I’ll be leaving now," suddenly, someone lacking confidence stood there, wondering how Adelle had ever become acquainted with such an unreliable girl. She was done for—having provoked someone not to be provoked, she had no intention of staying to be implicated.

As a result, the manager quickly arrived. Before anyone could leave, the security guard had already closed the main gate. The person eager to make an exit immediately turned pale, and the approaching manager cheerfully said, "A little inconvenience for everyone, please forgive us. There’s a small issue in the restaurant that needs to be dealt with. Those unrelated to the matter, please continue dining. For those involved, sorry, but you can’t leave for now. Of course, once I’ve investigated everything, we will compensate for any losses caused to our guests. Please understand."

"..." Now, Avery was somewhat speechless. She didn’t know that Bernard’s way of handling things would be so dramatic. Glancing at Adelle’s group, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale – these were women who had been so attractive moments before.

Since Bernard insisted, she felt it wouldn’t be right to say anything more on behalf of Jollie. This woman indeed deserved a lesson; otherwise, she wouldn’t learn her place.

Look at her now—wasn’t she so smug just a moment ago? Now she’s completely dumbfounded.

Sigh, she’s probably regretting it to death right now. Had she known, simply saying "sorry" would have avoided all this trouble.

"Mr. Taylor, hello, I’m the manager here, my surname is Zhao. First, I must apologize to you. I don’t know how our door staff let such a barking dog in to disturb your and this lady’s meal. Tonight’s fault is ours. So, this meal is on me. Additionally, the second young master of the Hawkins family and his brother are in the private room upstairs, and Officer Cheng is there as well. If you need to call the police, I can have Officer Cheng come down right away."

"Alright, please do so," Bernard nodded as if it was only right and proper.

Jollie Auclair: "..."
