Chapter 576 Skill of Controlling People (Part One)


    A qualified leader must have the capability to control people.

    "Bri..." Molly spoke as she raised her head to look at him. At that moment, she wasn''t thinking about


    whether what Brian said was true or not but it was clear that Brian was siding with her on this one;


    tolerating her, one might even say.

    "Mr. Brian Long ?" Aaron said, slightly frowning.


    Brian slowly raised his eyes that were filled with rage. Tony walked towards Brian quickly telling him


    about the family of each of these women. After listening intently to Tony, Brian looked at the woman


    with cake on her face and said to Tony, "Anyone I don''t want to see in QY Ind anymore should be


    gone in three days," he said simply.


    Tony looked at the woman too and responded, "Yes, sir!"


    "Mr. Brian Long," Aaron repeated, "Could you let this go for my sake?"


    Brian didn''t respond but his face had darkened. But it was clear in Aaron''s words—these women


    picked a fight with people they shouldn''t have messed with.


    Molly pressed her lips as she didn''t expect that the matter at hand was so serious. She didn''t know if all


    of these people really understood what Brian meant. But she did—it meant that Brian was going to ruin


    their lives either their families would suddenly go bankrupt or theirpanies would. Either way, the


    end result was the same: they weren''t going to be part of this exclusivemunity anymore.


    Aaron quickly nced at Molly when he saw that Brian wasn''t going to make a consideration. He


    turned his gaze towards the woman with cake on her face and ordered, "Zoe, take responsibility for


    what you did. Apologize to Mrs. Long now!"


    Zoe turned her face to the side oblivious of how grave the situation was, but when she saw the look on


    Aaron''s face, she was frozen in ce. Her eyes had turned red, and her mouth was pressed tightly.


    "Aaron, please don''t me Zoe," Vivi said in a waxy voice, with tears in her eyes, looking at Aaron. "It


    was all my fault. Nothing would have happened if they weren''t just looking out for me..." Then she


    looked at Molly, lowering her gaze, "Mrs. Long, please forgive us. We were rude and we were wrong."


    Molly felt no remorse for Vivi and she didn''t believe her sincerity not even for one second. Molly could


    see right through Vivi. She knew that Vivi was only doing this to gain the sympathy of the people


    watching—Vivi was making Molly look like the bad person. This was exactly something that Becky


    would do.


    "Vivi, how could you apologize to her?" Zoe screamed. She was already mad enough as it was that


    Aaron chose to not help her and now Vivi was apologizing to Molly. She couldn''t bear it any longer. She


    continued, "Aaron, I doubt how powerful you really are in QY Ind. After all, anyone can just bully


    your younger sister into doing anything they want her to do."


    Aaron never thought that his cousin would be so stupid, ring at her, he said, "Zoe Song, apologize


    now!" His voice was still cold that not an ounce of sympathy could be traced in it.


    Molly sighed to herself. She resented how Zoe had behaved, who was still acting so arrogantly. But she


    wasn''t stupid—she knew Aaron was asking her for consideration for Zoe and Zoe didn''t even


    appreciate that. Molly looked at Ximena who kept her eyes on Aaron as if she had nothing to do with all


    of this. But if you looked closely, there was a sh of anger in her eyes as if she was just holding


    herself back from saying anything.


    "Bri..." Molly opened her mouth finally, "We shouldn''t be talking about things like this at cocktail party of


    Leng''s Corporations. Besides, don''t you have something important to discuss with Aaron?"


    Brian turned his head slightly to look at Molly - in his head, he was thinking how Molly still wasn''t good


    at diverting attention away from the situation. But her eyes were sparkling and he didn''t want to


    embarrass her in front of all these people.


    She looked down at the floor and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I''m such a headache. I didn''t mean to do


    anything, it''s just that they kept insulting Ximena..."


    Molly''s voice trailed off as Brian reached out to touch the Firefly Stone that was resting around her neck


    - it was now a faint yellow color. Molly looked down on the ne too. She knew that the Stone


    changed colors as her emotions changed, but she had never seen it turn into this color before—she


    didn''t know what it meant.


    Brian felt his heart ache as he looked at the yellow Stone. Then he returned his gaze at Zoe, "You can''t


    pick a fight with everybody. Remember that," he said in an ominous tone.


    When he finished speaking, Brian took Molly''s hand, ready to leave. He paused after taking only a


    couple of steps, he turned his head to the side where Tony was and said, "Take some food for Mol. Not


    the sweet ones."


    "Yes, sir," Tony said before he made his way to the dining area. Brian meanwhile led Molly to where


    they could rest.


    The people who were watching had mixed reactions on their face—but most of them were obviously


    jealous of Molly. They all wished to be taken cared of like Brian was doing for Molly.


    Aaron red at Ximena when Brian finally left. He was seething. Instead of lowering her head, Ximena


    stared into his eyes too. Her hands were wrenched into fists and she even raised her chin slightly as an


    act of defiance. To Ximena, Aaron had to understand that she was hurt by what had happened and he


    should be empathizing with her not scolding her.


    "Ken, take Zoe to get changed. Then drive her along with Vivi back home," Aaron demanded. Both Zoe


    and Vivi didn''t expect this from Aaron. "I don''t care who was right or wrong but I should remind you that


    you picked a fight with the wrong people!" he bellowed when he saw that Zoe and Vivi weren''t budging.


    Aaron paused before continuing, "Now even I have to be careful around him. You behave yourselves


    from now on!" Then he looked at Ximena and said, "Follow me!"


    He turned around and left, while Ximena took a deep breath before following his footsteps. Although


    people red at her as she walked past them, she didn''t give them any notice remaining upright and


    unafraid in her stance.


    Meanwhile, at the rest area, Brian ignored the people who were eyeing them. Instead, he focused on


    getting Molly to eat—he was filling up her te with the food that Tony had brought. When he saw that


    Molly had finished everything, he refilled her te right away. By the end, he found the situation more


    interesting than anything and there was a faint smile cing on his lips.
