Chapter 195 True Resentment
Brandon was hit so hard that his brain buzzed and his glasses flew off, leaving him in a sorry state.
“Mr. Hodge! You… you…”
Dillon didn’t give Brandon any face at all; in his eyes, Brandon was just a dog.
“What about me? Who do you think you are? Do you really think I’m giving you face? Go take a piss and look at yourself!”
“Get out! Starting tomorrow, don’t come back to the company!” Dillon pointed at Brandon and cursed.
Brandon was dumbfounded and looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears left.
The next second, his eyes flickered as he turned to Allison with a smile, “Allison, I’ve been taking good care of you for such a long time now, right? Why don’t you talk to Mr. Hodge and tell him not to…”
Smack!
A crisp slap rang out again as Allison swung her arm round and hit Brandon hard across the face.
“Brandon Hunter, do you know how disgusting you are? Get lost!”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Brandon’s eyes widened as he held onto his face with an expression of anger on it.
“You little bitch! How dare you hit me! I’ll f*cking…”
“What do you want to do?” Dillon shouted at the henchmen beside him, “Come here and beat this stupid thing up for Allison beauty.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone pressed down on Brandon who then received punches after punches while screaming miserably.
“Hoo…” At this moment, Allison let out a long sigh of relief before shaking her hand vigorously.
That one blow just now made her own hand hurt badly!
But it felt so good!!
She had been wanting to beat up Brandon fiercely for so long now; today she finally got what she wanted!
Wasn’t she bullying people?
However, this feeling of bullying people was really great!
If one wants bully others, they must be able withstand being bullied themselves.
Allison glanced over at Lachlan secretly thinking that way in her heart.
“Allison, are you satisfied now? From now on, you will replace Brandon’s position in the sales department as manager! Is there anything else?” Dillon asked with a smile on his face.
Allison shook her head, “No.”
As she spoke, she looked towards Lachlan with an inquiry in her eyes.
Lachlan waved his hand and said, “Alright, since Allison has no conditions, let’s leave it at that! Remember, if my classmate is harassed in your company in the future, you will be responsible for the consequences!”
“Okay! Okay! Don’t worry bro!”
Dillon nodded and promised. After giving Lachlan another 5 million dollars, Lachlan gave him a dozen Nourishing Essence Pills from the bottle. Then he left with Allison in the car.
Dillon looked at the Nourishing Essence Pills in the bottle with excitement in his eyes. But then he spat on the ground fiercely as he watched the Bentley speed away.
“F*cking kid! Letting you be so arrogant once!”
“Now that I have these Nourishing Essence Pills, why would I still care about you?”
“Just wait and see. I’ll get Allison sooner or later! Hahaha…”
…
Allison sat next to Nora on the back seat of a car.
Looking at this delicate little girl beside her, Allison asked, “Lachlan, is this your daughter?”
“Yes, this is my daughter Nora! Call Auntie Allison!” Lachlan nodded towards Nora.
“Auntie Allison hello!” Nora sweetly called out.
“Hey Nora, you’re so well-behaved and pretty!” Allison touched Nora’s face and smiled. The next second she spoke with a complicated tone, “Lachlan, that pill was very valuable wasn’t it? You could have sold it to Dillon for 8 million but only took 5 million because of me… I don’t know how to repay you.”
If it were 80, 000 she might be able to pay it off after working hard for several years but 3 million was really beyond her means.
Lachlan heard this and laughed indifferently, “Those pills are worthless to me anyway. Besides we don’t need to talk about these things between us right? Back when we were still in school, you helped me despite all those rumors going around about me, and I remember that favor.”
“There’s an old saying: a drop of water returns a spring. Oh right, how do you say that phrase again?”
As Lachlan spoke, he slapped his forehead, “That’s right! You drip-drop-me splash-splash-you, right?”
“Pfft…” Hearing this sentence, Allison couldn’t help laughing out loud, “Ha ha ha! Your description is just as bad as when we were studying together.”
Lachlan’s teasing and humor made Allison feel less awkward and embarrassed. However, as she looked at him, there was a complex and melancholic expression in her eyes.
“Did you think those rumors in school were just gossip?” she thought to herself. “You fool, do you know that I really liked you?”
Allison treated Lachlan and his daughter to a barbecue of crawfish. With her current financial situation, she couldn’t afford a fancy restaurant anyway, nor did she need to impress Lachlan with extravagance.
During the meal, Allison thought about explaining to Lachlan why she needed the money so he wouldn’t think of her as some gold digger. But after considering it for a moment, she decided against it. She already owed him enough favors; there was no need to burden him with more information about her family’s problems.
And Lachlan didn’t ask either because he feared that Allison might not be able to handle it.
After they finished eating and before Allison could hail a cab to go see her mother at the hospital, Nathan Singleton, her brother, called her on the phone.
He told her that their mother had been discharged from the hospital but had given up on treatment due to financial constraints. She wanted them not to worry about taking care of an incurable illness or adding more burdens onto themselves by paying for expensive medical bills.
Nathan handed over the phone call duties to Kailey, their mother, who said, “Allison dearie! We can’t come up with 80, 000 dollars! My life isn’t worth this much!”
“Never mind, I won’t treat it! You still have to live, get married, and take care of your younger brother in the future!”
“Mom, don’t say that! I’ve raised the money, and I’ll get the surgery for you tomorrow!”
“Who allowed you to run out of the hospital? You… are you trying to make me angry?”
Upon hearing this news, Allison’s face turned pale, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked.
“You raised the money? How did you raise it? Silly child, did you borrow from loan sharks? Please don’t do anything foolish!”
Kailey, upon hearing her daughter’s words, was both surprised and concerned.
“No, it’s not a loan shark, it’s borrowed from one of my classmates. Mom, don’t worry, I’ll go back right away and take you back to the hospital!”
After saying this, Allison hung up the phone.
She looked extremely anxious and worried. After informing Lachlan, she was about to hail a taxi to go home.
After mustering the courage to ask Lachlan for a loan, her mother ran out of the hospital, saying she didn’t want treatment anymore?
Allison was beside herself with worry.
“Allison, let me give you a ride. I’m actually heading over there myself and maybe I can help out,” Lachlan offered as he came closer.
