Chapter 173 The Contract


    Lord Ho immediately berated him, "Brian,e back! How could you treat your fiancé like that? She


    came here for you, but look at your attitude!"


    Frowning, Brian replied indifferently, "First of all, she''s not my fiancé. Second, so what if shees for


    me? Finally, what''s wrong with me? Why can''t I just quietly ignore someone I dislike?"


    "Brian, bear in mind what I''ve told you. If you don''t want that girl to suffer, stay home and do as you''re


    told. Sarah is the perfect girl for you. Just forget that Bun."


    "I''ve told you millions of times. Even if I don''t get to marry Bonny Lu, I will never marry Sarah Shen!"


    Brian pointed at Sarah with with slightly trembling fingers. His extreme anger was apparent. He didn''t


    say much, but his eyes were cold as ice.


    It was the first time for Sarah to see such a cold expression on Brian''s face. He used to take everything


    in stride, even if he was angry or upset. Women were attracted to his calm and gentle eyes. But right


    now, he looked like a different person. He looked cold, disgusted, and even depressed.


    "Brother Brian..." Sarah was cut short with Brian''s interruption.


    "Get out."


    Brian stormed to his bedroom without even ncing back, and mmed the door. Lord Ho and Sarah


    were left alone in embarrassment.


    Sarah believed that Bonny Lu had seduced Brian. She couldn''t imagine that it was Brian Ho who had

    pursued her.


    "It''s fine. Your wedding has already been set. Let''s see what he dares to do! What has been done


    cannot be undone. You shall get on well with each other eventually."


    Lord Ho gentlyforted Sarah. The thought of how Brian has been humiliating him made him angrier.


    As Sarah lightly patted his back, she asked, "Grandpa, may I have a request?"


    "About what?"


    "I want the key to his bedroom. We''re getting married, and I''ll be the Lady here. Without the key,


    I..."


    Sarah apparently just wanted the key to Brian''s bedroom, which was a reasonable request. Besides,


    she was getting married to Brian. She should have the key to his bedroom. Lord Ho asked the maid to


    give her the spare key.


    With the keys in her hand, a faint smile lit up her face.


    She believed she would have Brian sooner orter. The wedding was the only thing she needed.


    Sarah had been worried that Brian would run away from the wedding, but she had a n. If he dared


    flee, she would have Bonny Lu killed.


    For her, it was easy to have someone killed.


    Bun could fend for herself, but she would be alone. She was able to bring down five men on her own


    before, but could she handle ten?


    Sarah would only hurt Bonny Lu as thest resort. Brian liked her too much at the moment.


    Sarah didn''t want to get on Brian''s bad side.


    It had been too long since Lindast saw her father. Johnson Xia must be missing her a lot.


    After telling Charles of her ns, Linda went to the Xia n with Bun after ss.


    She didn''t tell her father that she was visiting, so the servants of the Xia n were shocked when they


    arrived. They rushed to report back to their master.


    "Master, your eldest daughter is here."


    "My eldest daughter?"


    Johnson Xia was having tea in the sitting room, and was about to have lunch. It was depressing


    recently. May was gone, and so was Lisa. He was on his own at home now.


    To be honest, Johnson Xia was getting lonely.


    Linda mostly stayed with the Mu n because she was engaged to Charles Mu.


    Johnson was so happy upon hearing that Linda hade back, that he wanted to greet her at the


    door.


    "Linda, " Johnson called gently.


    Seeing her father at the door, Linda smiled sweetly, "Dad, are you feeling any bettertely? It''s been so


    long since west met.


    "Yes, I''m getting better. The doctores to check on me every two weeks. I feel quite fresh and


    energetic now."


    Linda nodded, "Oh, that''s great! Your health matters the most. Don''t work too hard."


    "I suppose you''ll have supper here. Are you leaving tonight?" As Johnson spoke with Linda, he ordered


    the servant to cook supper and prepare more dishes for Linda.


    "No, I''ll be staying here tonight."


    Linda hadn''t seen her father for a while, so she wanted to spend time with him. She didn''t want him to


    feel too lonely now that he was on his own. May and Lisa were gone. It was cruel for a man in his fifties


    to be by himself.


    When they were having supper, a servant brought Johnson some documents. He signed the papers


    after perusing them, sighing heavily.


    "What''s wrong, Dad? What are these?"


    "Contracts of transferring my stock shares."


    "Stocks of what? The Xia Group? But why? Didn''t we get back all our property from May Shen?" Linda


    waspletely baffled.


    "Yes, we did. But she had transferred a lot in secret, and they were not under her name..."


    Linda''s heart plummeted. She wondered where May had transferred those properties.


    Johnson added, "Ourpanies are on the verge of copsing. I had been in poor health, so Vincent


    Zhou and May Shen were taking care of them for me. But who have thought that they would viciously


    betray us?


    "Dad... Take it easy and don''t sign them now."


    "No. Today is the deadline. If I don''t sign them now, even this mansion will be seized by the bank as


    mortgage."


    In recent years, the Xia npanies had great profits and losses. May Shen had deliberately put


    them in arrears. A lot of their properties had been transferred through moneyundering.
