Chapter 918: The Bully


    Almost instinctively, Stanford grabbed Phoebe’s waist and held her in his arms.


    The next second, he took the initiative and kissed her.


    His embrace was firm and warm. His body temperature passed through the clothes and warmed up


    her skin and heart.


    Feeling his kiss and hug, Phoebe felt so happy and sure.


    This man used to be untouchable and lofty, but now, he belonged to her entirely.


    He was hers.


    ...


    The day of making a proposal to the Frasers’ was approaching.


    In the past few days, Ernest had almost arranged everything for the wedding. He also prepared the


    betrothal presents in person.


    Everything was done. They counted days to go to the Fraser Mansion.


    From time to time, Florence would look at her wedding dress and the bridegroom’s suit in the


    cloakroom.


    It was a ck suit. However, one could see from the details that this suit was a match for the


    wedding dress.


    The design was quite unique.


    However, Florence realized that she had done nothing for Ernest, but he had done so many things


    for her.


    Florence thought for a while. Looking at Ernest’s suit, she nned to get him a set of cuff-links.


    It would be a fine touch to the outfit.


    Hence, she went to see the Eighth Elder.


    Although Ernest had arranged almost everything for the wedding, the Eighth Elder was also


    responsible for many details. After all, the wedding was aplicated mission.


    Florence wanted to get Ernest the cuff-links, so she should go to Elder Kevin.


    After a few days, Florence and Kevin had gotten to know each other better. She found that he was


    indeed unique in theplicated Turner family.


    The Seventh Elder Keenan didn’t care about anything. Unlike him, Kevin was gentle, polite, and


    hard working. He was always kind to others.


    He never put on airs as an elder in the family. He was pretty easygoing.


    Florence felt quitefortable after getting along with him for a few days.


    When she arrived at the door of Kevin’s room, she saw the door was half-opened.


    She realized that someone was in there.


    Feeling quite delighted, Florence didn’t think she hade in vain.


    When she was about to knock on the door, she heard a smashing sound from the inside. It seemed


    something made of ss was smashed onto the floor.


    She wondered what had happened.

    In confusion, she heard a man speaking in an ironic room before she could take a look.


    “Kevin, you are just a loser. Can’t you even hold the ss when pouring wine?”


    “He’s indeed a useless loser.”


    The two men echoed each other and spoke sarcastic words.


    Florence was so surprised. She had never expected that the respected Eighth Elder could be


    mocked by others in that way.


    Who were so bold?


    In confusion, she walked closer and peeped into the room from the crack.


    The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder were sitting at the bar counter. There was a broken wine ss


    under their feet. The wine was scattered everywhere.


    The two elders looked at Kevin in disdain without hiding their attitude. Kevin was holding a tray, on


    which there was another ss of wine.


    He was standing stiffly with a livid look. Gripping the tray tightly, he seemed to try his best to


    suppress his anger.


    The Fourth Elder added, “Your branch is bing weaker and weaker. You can’t do any work for


    the family. A bunch of spongers. It can go on like this. You didn''t do enough as the Eighth Elder in


    this family. Kevin, why don’t you give up the elder’s position directly? You’ll embarrass yourself if


    you’re kicked out.”


    The words poked on Kevin’s sore spot mercilessly. His face got paler. Pressing his lips, he kept


    silent.


    His tightened body showed that his tolerance had reached its edge.


    Florence watched from afar, but she still could feel how aggrieved and angry Kevin was feeling.


    No one could face such insult peacefully. However, it seemed that Kevin was in a disadvantageous


    situation, as even didn’t have the confidence to retort.


    The Fifth Elder smiled ironically and continued to insult him. “I agree with you, brother. Kevin, you


    should know yourself better. You are aplete loser. You can’t just upy the position of the


    Eighth Elder. You see, like the treasure vault in our family, besides Keenan who clearly refused to


    enter, all the other elders are allow to enter it. The vault is the most critical confidentiality in our


    Turner family. You are an elder, but you couldn''t get in. Obviously, you are isted from us. Do you


    know what the servants are saying? Even the servants look down on you.”


    Kevin gripped the tray more tightly and couldn’t help trembling.


    Their words were like daggers stabbing into his heart.


    He was an elder, and he was supposed to be proud. But all those words were insults that stomped


    his dignity.


    “Forget it. For a man like you, you''ll just cling to the seat of the Eighth Elder shamelessly.”


    The Fifth Elder sneered. Reaching out his hand, he beckoned Kevin as if he was beckoning a


    servant, but even more rudely.


    “Give me the wine. Get brother another ss. Besides, clean up the shit on the ground. So dirty.”


    Kevin was just standing there without moving.


    They insulted him and asked him to do things as if he were a servant..


    He had no dignity in front of them.


    His tensed-up body was shuddering with rage. He was about to lose it.


    However, if he blew up, he would just be more miserableter.


    “Why are you still standing there? You dare to disobey now?”


    The Fifth Elder pounded on the bar counter with a darkened face.


    It seemed he would take the chance to make a fuss.


    Watching the scene, Florence''s brows were knitted. She had never expected that the Eighth Elder


    was mistreated in such a way.


    Florence felt sorry for him, thinking of how they got along in the past few days and Kevin’s kindness


    and patience. How could such a nice man be treated by those wicked people in this way?


    In anger, she pushed the door open with her prating gaze.


    She used much strength, so the door bounced back from the wall behind it, letting out a big bang.


    Instantly, all three men’s attention was distracted.


    “What the fuck! How dare you...” the Fifth Elder snapped.


    Before he finished his words, he saw Florencee in. In a surprise, he had to swallow back his


    curse.


    Instantly, he reacted and smiled. He said, “Oh, it’s you, Flory. Why are you here? Pleasee on


    in.”
