The convenient Bride novel Chapter 348

“What? Butler Zhao is still alive?” Xenia stood up with a surprised expression.

 

Although Rorey didn't want to admit this, she nodded. “Yes, and Rosiley has already found him.”

 

This news was undoubtedly a huge blow to Xenia. She sank back into the seat and muttered to herself, “It's over. It's over. Everything is over.”

 

Seeing her mother's shocked expression, Rorey felt a pang of heartache. She hurried to squat in front of her mother and grabbed her hands tightly. “Mom, don't be afraid. Butler Zhao remains unconscious now, so Rosiley won't know what we did for the time being.”

 

“Unconscious?” Was the God giving her a chance?

 

Xenia couldn't help but laugh, "Indeed, God is on my side.”

 

After calming down, she said to her daughter, “Rorey, ask Alan to come here. I have to settle the score with him.”

 

As she said this, a glimpse of coldness could be caught in her eyes.

 

That day, she asked Alan to kill Butler Zhao, but never expected that he would feel compassion and send Butler Zhao to the hospital for rescue. This did not correspond to his identity as a gangster.

 

"OK, Mom, I'll call him now.” Rorey patted her mother's hand and got up to make a phone call outside.

 

“I heard you saved him?" Garland looked at Alan, who had worked for him for more than ten years, with ridicule filling his shrewd eyes.

 

If Rorey hadn't called him, he would never have thought that Alan, who had always been ruthless, would save someone.

 

Alan knew that he would be questioned like this when he decided to save Butler Zhao, so when he heard Garland ask him this, he looked calm as usual and replied with composure: “Yes, I did.”

 

Garland narrowed his eyes with a hint of danger. He asked coldly, “Do you know the consequences of this?"

 

"Yes."

 

“Then how dare you save him!" Garland roared and raised his hand to slap Alan's face hard.

 

The slap caused a distortion of Alan's face.

 

Garland exerted great strength. Blood oozed out from the corner of Alan's mouth. Even though his ears were ringing and his cheeks were burning with pain, he remained silent.

 

Because it was indeed his fault this time.

 

But he didn't regret it.

 

“Alan, do you know how much trouble you've brought to Rorey?” Garland felt extremely exasperated at his failure. He trusted Alan the most, who had never failed in anything he was asked to do. But how could he make such a stupid mistake?

 

Alan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at Garland, who was very disappointed in him. “It is all my fault this time. I will try to make up for it.”

 

"How?" Garland snorted coldly. "Are you going to kill him again?”

 

Alan fell silent.

 

“Do you really want to do that?” Garland was angrier, “Alan, what's wrong with you? If you try to kill him now, doesn't that mean throwing yourself into a trap?"

 

Alan remained silent with his head down.

 

Garland took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress his anger and anxiety. Then, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. Anyway, it's Xenia who did it. She has to take the responsibility alone.”

 

Hearing this, Alan looked up in surprise.
