A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 185 To be or not to be



Chapter 185 To be or not to be

"Master Brian, what are you doing?" Bun struggled to retreat from his embrace, but ended up touching

Brian's wounded wrist, which made him gasp with pain.

So Bun didn't dare move for fear that she would touch his wound again. This is ridiculous, she thought.

"Bun, don't move. Just let me hold you for a moment."

The sweet murmur of Brian's voice in her ear, softened Bun's heart, so she stopped moving.

Brian held her even tighter.

After a while, he retreated from the embrace, holding onto Bun's shoulder with the one good arm. "You

don't understand Bun. I took Sarah to the hotel not to have sex with her, but to give me an opportunity

to see you."

Bun was surprised and wanted to ask something, but she controlled herself.

Brian continued his explanation, "My grandfather wanted me to spend some time with Sarah. So I

devised a plan, so that I could see you. I took her to the hotel and put a sleeping drug in her water. Now

she's sleeping and won't wake up until four hours have passed. Now, I'm here with you, my beautiful

flower."

"Master Brian, I..."

"I know what's on your mind. You care about me, so trust me. I will never marry Sarah." Brian

interjected, placing his good hand on her cheek.

"But lovers cannot be happy without the blessing of their families. What will we do if your grandfather

protests to our marriage? If he doesn't like me, I..." Bun averted her eyes to the ground. Tradition was

important to both of them, and she feared that their love would not be able to withstand the pressures

of it.

"It doesn't matter. He will accept you for who you are. You'll see." Brian said reassuringly, lifting her

face to meet his. He moved closer

And kissed Bun. Bun felt the chemistry and the electricity that flowed between them. Brian did truly love

her.

"Bun, promise me that you won't give up. I don't care about your background, I love you." He said,

stepping back from the kiss.

"I love you too."

She responded, looking into his eyes.

Although she had doubts earlier, she decided to take a chance on her happiness. She wasn't going to

give up on Brian no matter what.

"Bun, let's go to the cinema! We've never been. Would you like that?"

Brian wanted to use this chance to take Bun out on a date. After this, he would have to go back home

and heaven knows when he would be able to see her next.

"Okay." Bun was happy to hear that, but she needed to ask for permission first.

She told Brian this and he responded, "Well, you go ask Linda first. Give me your phone and I'll ask

Charles." Brian caressed Bun's cheek, with a glint of sweetness in his eyes.

But coldness replaced sweetness as soon as Bun left. He made a phone call to Charles, "Hi, are you

on your way home? I'm at your home now and I have some questions." "I'm just driving in. Meet me in

the study." Charles responded. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Brian hung up the phone. The dialogue between the two men was brief. Charles knew Brian's

questions were about Bun.

Five minutes later.

In the study of Mu clan.

Charles sat on the sofa while Brian stood carelessly at the door, "Charles, do you have a cigarette?"

"No. Why would I? You know I don't smoke." Charles answered.

"Okay."

"Why do you want to smoke? If I'm not mistaken, you gave up smoking long time ago. Nervous about

something?" Charles stood up, poured a glass of water, picked up some pain killers and grabbed an ice

pack for his friend. "Here, place this on you hand and drink this."

Brian did as asked, took the painkillers and placed the ice pack on his wrist. The sensation of the ice on

his throbbing skin cooled him down. "I'm in trouble, Charles. And I don't know what to do."

Charles didn't say anything, but he knew what Brian's trouble was.

"Charles, has Bun's case been concluded? Have you found anything? Can we reverse the verdict?"

"Do you want to reverse the verdict?"

Charles asked instead of answering, regretting that he did. It was a stupid question to ask.

"In the afternoon, my grandfather told me that the reason my parents died is tied to this case. I'm in real

trouble now and don't know what to do."

Charles patted Brian's shoulder and said, "Actually, we have been investigating this case for years.

Now, we have found the truth. Bun and her father were not responsible. They were used as

scapegoats."

"Really?"

"Of course." Charles reassured his friend.

"That's great news. So, how do we get Bun off the hook? My grandfather insists that Bun is the enemy

of my family, so he refuses to give us his blessing so that we remain together. Moreover, Sarah's father

saved me once, which is the reason why i'm engaged to Sarah. I'm just fed up with all this nonsense."

Charles could see the anxiety on Brian's face.

"Why should I help Bun? Shouldn't you do this yourself?" Charles asked. He didn't want to meddle in

the Ho clan's family business. He knew that it wouldn't be a good look, and would be considered as

disrespectful by the older generation.

"How? If I could, I would, but my grandfather cut off all my connections with the outside world. I can't

even leave the house. How can I investigate?" Brian said anxiously, scratching his head.

"Well, since you're cornered, then you have no choice but to beg me!" Charles couldn't help but to

smile.

"Shit, I'm in trouble. And even you are playing games with me?"

"I'm sorry buddy, but that's just how life is. Well, I have a request. If you accept this, I'll help Bun

reverse her verdict. If not, I will do nothing. After all, Bun is enjoying her life in Mu clan and nobody

dares to touch her. Let the past be gone. The only problem is that you'll never marry the girl you love."

Charles teased.

Brian was speechless for a moment, but he nodded finally, "Okay. What do you want me to do? For

Bun, I'll do anything."

"Nothing big. I just want you to wear girl's clothes and be Linda's bridesmaid on my wedding day."

"What the hell? Are you joking?" Brian asked, a shocked expression on his face.

"Brother...

Is it a yes or a no?" Charles was amused.

Brian said unwillingly, "Yes..."

"So it's a deal." Brian was confused. He wasn't sure if Charles was joking or if he was serious.

"So I'm counting on you now. I'll go to the cinema with Bun. It's our first date. Don't let me down. Thank

you my fellow brother!" Brian stood up to leave, still not sure if Charles was serious. 'I guess I'll find out

on the wedding day, ' Brian thought. Either way

He knew Charles could settle this. So he felt much more relieved. He left the ice pack on the table,

since the pain on his arms had subsided dramatically. The painkillers were kicking in.
