Their Punching Bag Became The Storm novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 The Plan Is Ruined

Come on, if Brandon was really Emily’s boyfriend, he wouldn’t have stapped her the second he showed up.]

[What if, with everyone roasting the Anderson family for all that drama, Brandon slapped Emily in public to keep up his tough guy image and prove there’s nothing going on between him and the Public’s Sweetheart?]

[Suddenly, I think the comment above nailed it.]

Even after Emily left the stream, the chat was still blowing up with comments about her.

Meanwhile, the scene was a total mess.

Meanwhile, Emily was hauled straight to the underground garage by the bodyguards.

She was shoved into a car.

Brandon got in from the other side.

Emily was sprawled across the seat, watching as Brandon leaned in. She felt hurt and wronged, so she turned her head away, pretending to be mad and refusing to look at him.

f it were any other day, Brandon would have felt sorry for her, pulled her into his arms, and apologized in that gentle voice of his.

Out of all her five brothers, what Emily loved most was seeing Brandon, who was always so aloof and cold to everyone else, suddenly turn all soft and eager to please her.

t was a huge rush for her, feeding her desire to conquer.

But this time, after she pretended to be mad at him, Brandon didn’t apologize or comfort her as he usually did.

nstead, he sat beside her with a cold expression and barked, “Emily, what did I tell you? Why can’t you listen to me?

‘Who told you to join this show? Who told you to sneak out of the hospital? Do you want to ruin the Anderson family that badly?”

Every harsh word from Brandon made Emily’s eyes go red, tears threatening to spill.

She bit her lip, tears welling up as she turned her head away, but shot him a teary glare through the blur.

Jsually, one tear from Emily would have her brothers bending over backwards for her, ready to pluck stars and moons if she asked, but this time, Brandon didn’t flinch.

His face was stone cold, eyes sharp as ice, as he stared at her. “Quit the waterworks. I can see right through you.

‘I told you, stay out of the spotlight and don’t join any shows. I’ll fix your image for you.

While everyone is out there busting their tails for you, what are you doing?

Mom is in the hospital with a heart condition, and you were supposed to stay and look after her. But what did you do?

You slipped out without telling anyone. If something happened to her and no one could find you, could you take esponsibility for that?”

There was no comfort, no gentle words, just endless scolding.

Brandon’s harsh words only made Emily cry harder.

She suddenly sat up and started pounding Brandon’s chest with her little fists. “All you ever do is blame me. Do you know how much I’m hurting?

‘You keep saying you’re doing all this for me, but I don’t feel any love from you guys at all. Ever since the show ended, all of you have only eyes for Whitney. Am I still here to you?

‘I’m getting roasted online every single day, but have any of you ever checked in on me? Has anyone tried to make me feel better?

“None of you care about me, none of you notice me, and now you all act like I’m some kind of threat.

“Do you know why I was the one stuck taking care of Mom at the hospital? It’s all because Whitney spread those rumors, making Mom think there’s something weird going on between you guys and me.

“She’s been watching us like a hawk, terrified I’d get too close to any of you. I stayed there alone to make her feel safe.”

At that point, Emily buried her face in her hands and broke down crying.

Anyway, things were already a mess, so Emily thought, ‘Why bother pretending anymore?‘

Chapter 159 The Plan is Ruined

Even 30, she was still betting everything on this move..

he was yambling that if she blamed everything on Whitney, acting as if Whitney’s rumors left her so anxious and afraid of being abandoned, she’d have no choice but to fend for herself since she couldn’t feel any love from her family.

As she’d hoped, her emotional outburst and tears had the effect she wanted on Brandon.

His face was still cold, but his brows knitted together, and he didn’t say another harsh word.

Emily bit down hard on her lower lip, tasting blood, then finally lifted her head to look at Brandon, her eyes full of pitiful helplessness.

She said, “Brandon, I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t want everyone hating me. I don’t want everyone thinking the worst of me. I didn’t do any of those things, but everyone is still blaming me.”

She was sobbing so hard she was gasping for air, blood streaking her lips.

She kept sobbing, spilling all her pain and frustration.

She glossed over why she ended up on the stream.

Even Brandon didn’t press her about how she ended up on the stream.

In the end, he seemed to give in, reaching out to pat Emily’s shoulder with a helpless look. “The company had the PR team set up Kayla and Jason.

“They are Real Survival guests, to vouch for you and help fix your reputation in all the upcoming shows and variety

programs.

“They snagged a bunch of your best moments from Real Survival and planned to drop them online bit by bit.
