Chapter 852
My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 852
The middle-aged bodyguard stared intently at Brian through his
sunglasses, as if trying to see through any lies that might be revealed
on his face. Casey slammed the herbs in his hand onto the table,
saying, âIf something happens to Mireille, I will never forgive you!â
Irritated by Caseyâs outburst, Brian retaliated with a slap. âYouâve gone
too farâ¦â
Caseyâs temples throbbed. He looked like he was about to retaliate again when Brian angrily exclaimed, âWhat, you want to fight me?â
Casey took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and bent down to pick up the herbs scattered on the floor. A pallid and weak-looking elderly woman receiving intravenous therapy nearby pleaded, âDonât quarrel. Casey, try to understand Old Tanner. Heâs doing it for the good of your daughter. Whatâs wrong with Larry?â
Casey sneered, âNow itâs about free will in love. Who believes in arranged marriages and parental orders anymore? If he truly about Mireille, he wouldnât force her to marry someone she d
like!â
Brian erupted in anger, âSay another word, and Iâll tear your mouth
apart!â
Casey kept silent then, refraining from speaking further. The elderly
woman sighed deeply.
The middle-aged bodyguard turned around and walked back out. Seeing Larry, beaten and barely conscious, he smiled and said, â
Chapte
Starting tomorrow, I donât want to see you in Jonford. Otherwise, Iâll
personally make you disappear.â
After saying that, he got into the car, the others following suit. The three BMWs swiftly departed. In pain and wracked by shivers, Larry lowered his head to look at his groin covered in blood, despair evident
on his face.
Brian and Casey hurried from behind the counter and carried Larry to
a sickbed. Brian looked up at Casey, whose face was now swollen from the slap he had given him, and said, âGo outside and keep watch.
Casey sternly followed and went outside the door. Brian then
removed Larryâs pants to examine his injuries. Seeing the mangled
groin, his face turned pale.
Larry clutched Brianâs arm, his voice trembling as he asked, âMr.
Tanner, am I⦠am I impotent now?â
Brian sighed helplessly. The bodyguard just now was a martialist
and his kick had destroyed his groin. How could he explain this
Lowell?
Scrying his answer from the old manâs face, Larry gritted his teeth
through the pain and said, âGet me a car. Iâm leaving Jonford no
Brian brought herbs and bandages over to dress Larryâs wounds, tea
streaming down his face as he said, âLarry, do you⦠blame us for
this?â
Mireille had gone through the plans with them meticulously.
It was in their plan to have Duncan send people to the pharmacy and

even to take action against them. Among them, the person in the
most danger was Larry. Casey suggested that Larry leave Jonford at
first, but he chose to stay and help deal with Duncanâs men in his
attempt to gain Mireilleâs trust.
âI⦠I donât blame you; it was my decision,â Larry said with tears.
streaming down his face from closed eyes. He had chosen his path
and there was no room for regret. Realizing now that he was disabled,
he would part ways with Mireille completely after this. The thought
was like a knife in his chest.
Brian felt deep guilt in him, a myriad of words drowned in silent tears.
At the Duerson familyâs residence, Duncan recounted how he had
transformed from a weak and honest person into a villain that even
he hated. âNash told me that only with absolute strength can one
earn respect. I may not have his strength, but Iâm lucky. I have three of
the elite powerhouses as my godfathers. With their help, the Duerson
family will succeed the Young family!â
