My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 279: Disaster 

Nellie had been very busy recently due to this matter.

On top of that, Brian had made such a massive trouble for her.

Now, everyone's eyes were on their company.

Everyone was talking about her family.

It was no wonder that she was fuming with rage.

The more Nellie thought about the situation, the angrier she became.

Bang!

She smashed the laptop in fury.

The laptop fell on the floor, its screen shattered into fragments.

It made such a booming sound that it startled the servants.

They watched with lips pursed, afraid that they might get punished by Nellie if they came even close to her.

Nellie was so angry that she also smashed the entirety of the tea set on the table.

"Leah!" she shouted in rage.

"Yes..." Leah hurried over.

"Has Brian come back?"

Leah answered, "Not yet.I just called him and he said he was on his way."

"How about Bruce? Where is he?"

Leah stopped for a second, reluctant to answer.

"He..."

"Tell me!"

Leah trembled and promptly said, "He told me that he didn't care about the company's affairs."

Bang!

Nellie smashed another glass into smithereens, causing a loud shattering sound.Her face turned ghastly pale.

"Call him again! Tell him to go home right now! If he doesn't come back, I will disown him."

"I'll call him right away," Leah said.

After half an hour, Brian finally arrived, and Leah was already waiting for him at the door.

Leah was a servant Nellie hired when Nellie married Jaylen.

She had worked for the family for so many years and had personally watched Brian and Bruce grow up.

She cared for both of them.

That was why as soon as Brian came back, she grabbed his arm and whispered, "Brian, be cautious with what you say.Your mother is really angry right now."

Brian took a deep breath.

"Thank you, Leah."

He walked into the villa stone-faced, as though he was bracing himself for his punishment.

When he entered the living room, he saw shards of glass scattered all over the floor.

The sight of it sent a shiver down his spine.He could not recall a time where his mother was this angry.

Things didn't look like it would be settled easily.

"Mom..."

When Brian entered the living room, an apple came flying towards him.

It hit him hard in the face.

"Brian!"

Leah shrieked as she rushed towards him.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, it's nothing," Brian said as he pressed his cheek and took a deep breath.

He gritted his teeth and slowly walked forward.

"Mom..."

"Kneel!"

Brian complied and knelt on the floor.He didn't dare to disobey his mother when she was this enraged.He could feel the shards of glass digging into his knees, making him grimace in pain.

"Mom!"

"You disgraceful son!"

Nellie was so angry that she kept pacing back and forth in the room.She pointed at Brian with her bony finger and cursed him relentlessly.

"How could I give birth to a worthless bastard like you? Do you have any idea how bad the situation is right now? Both our family and our company are at the center of attention.Didn't I already tell you to be extra careful with what you say during this time? I kept reminding you not to make any mistakes when doing interviews!"

Brian lowered his head and clutched his thighs.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

"Your apology is useless to me! You told me that you've already solved your problem with Eris! Is this how you solved it? You gave her an apartment as compensation for your break-up.But that bitch held a press conference and made our family the media's focus.Brian, do you want to see our family's company go bankrupt?"

Brian wanted to defend himself.

"Mom, I didn't—"

"Shut up!"

Brian could do nothing but shut up. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Ever since he was a child, his mother had always been very strict with him.

Maybe it was due to the fact that he was the family's firstborn.

He wanted his mother to be proud of him, so he always listened and obeyed everything his mother made him do.

Everything, from what he ate and what he wore every day, all the way to what university he could choose, was all dictated by his mother.

The only time in his life that he rebelled was dating Eris and Wendy.

Now, he regretted ever disobeying his mother.

He should've listened to her, especially when she talked about Eris.

Who would have thought that Eris would stab him in the back like this? His mother scolded him harshly, but Brian was used to it.

Half an hour later, Nellie finally calmed down after smashing more things around her.

"Get up!"

Brian's legs felt numb as he staggered his way up.

Leah, who was standing beside him, held his arm and helped him up.

The pair of creamy white trousers that Brian was wearing was now stained with blood.

Leah gasped.

"Brian, your knees! You better sit down."

"I'm fine..." Nellie looked at him.

When she saw the blood on Brian's pants, she was stunned and felt sorry.

However, she was so used to being tough on him and she couldn't bring herself to be gentle.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and deal with the wounds!" Nellie told the servants.

Immediately, Leah helped Brian to the sofa while another servant brought a first-aid box.

When Leah rolled up Brian's trousers, her heart sank at the sight of the broken glass sticking out of his skin.

"Brian, I have to remove the broken glass first before I bandage your wounds.It's going to hurt a little.Bear it."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

As Leah began to treat his wounds, Brian kept quiet the entire time.

However, cold beads of sweat were forming on his forehead.

Nellie couldn't bear to see her son in pain.

"Are you stupid? When I asked you to kneel, why didn't you find a clean spot? Why did you kneel where there was broken glass?"

"Mom, I made a mistake.I should've never disobeyed you and bring trouble to our company.It's all my fault! I'm willing to do anything to appease you."

Nellie's anger had mostly dissipated, and her temper cooled down further when she heard what Brian said.

She let out a long sigh.

‘Mom, is the trouble of our family really serious this time?"

"Serious doesn't even begin to describe it.It's a disaster"

“Mom..."

‘Almost all the A-list actresses forwarded that video.It was such big news that it even alarmed those in the upper class! All the powerful newspapers in the country have reported it.Even the national news broadcasted it"

‘How about we hire the most experienced PR team.” Nellie pursed her lips and said, "Not even the best PR team can avert this crisis! What's worse, Eris held the press conference.What a mess! If we can't handle it properly, I'm afraid the company will..."

She didn't have the heart to continue what she was about to say.

Despite that, Brian understood what she meant.

lf this crisis couldn't be handled well, it was very likely that the company would go bankrupt.He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred.

‘Eris! You bitch! This is all your fault! Since you made trouble for me, I'll make sure to make your life a living hell!’
