Chapter 208
This was the longest sleep he had had since he found out about her death. However, when he woke up, he was even more exhausted than when he had not slept all night.
He went into the bathroom, took a shower, shaved the stubble from his lips, put on his suit, and went downstairs.
He walked into the dining room and had just sat down at the dining table when Melvin rushed in from outside and said in a hurry, "Mr. Brian, Mrs. Sherman is outside. She said that she wants to see you and that you owe her a life. What... what's going on?"
Brian frowned slightly. Only then did he remember that he had drunk too much the morning before yesterday and had gone to the Sherman's place to cause trouble. He had not given Daisy the money he had promised her.
"Let her in."
Melvin nodded and went to open the door.
Daisy came in with her bag and ran straight to Brian.
"Brian! Where's the money? Are you going back on your words?"
As Daisy spoke, she rolled around on the ground. "My poor daughter! She was pregnant with a child at such a young age. It's all your fault! You killed my daughter! Pay up!"
When Melvin heard Daisy's words, he was so shocked that he forgot to close his mouth. He asked in shock, "What did you say? Who killed who?"
Daisy grabbed Melvin. "Come to be the judge. My daughter is pregnant with his child! He forced her to leave. She was injured by him and boarded the plane. In the end, she was in a plane crash and her corpse was not even left! And this culprit..."
"Enough!" Brian suddenly said coldly.
"Melvin, go get the check."
Daisy instantly shut up when she heard the word "check".
Brian sat there stiffly. Daisy's words constantly reminded him that Grace had boarded the plane to avoid him.
Daisy was right. He seemed to be the culprit.
Melvin took the check, and Brian wrote down the number quickly and handed it to her.
Daisy got up as if she was afraid that he would go back on his word. She snatched the check away. When she saw the number on the check, her eyes lit up with excitement.
She put the check into her bag and looked at Brian. "I'll leave first. You should reflect on yourself."
Brian's jaw tightened as he sat there like a statue.
After Daisy left, Melvin stood in the dining room. He wanted to say something, but he could not.
What? Grace died? What the hell? She was still pregnant with Brian's child. Melvin finally understood why Brian became like this.
"Mr. Brian, the dead can't be revived. You have to take care of yourself!"
Brian sat in the dining room for a long time without moving. After a long time, he stood up stiffly and calmly walked into the garage to drive away.
He walked into the company calmly. Wherever he went, people greeted him. He nodded slightly. There were people discussing the plane crash around him, and he did not have the same intense reaction as that day.
The meeting went on as usual, and he went to work as usual. It was as if he had returned to his normal life.
In the office.
Camren walked into the office with a document. "Mr. Francis, this report needs your signature."
Brian nodded slightly and scanned the document.
His gaze suddenly stopped on the capitalized amount in the lower right corner. He seemed to see the word "Grace"? His eyes trembled as he stared at the word. He didn't react for a long time.
Camren reminded, "Mr. Francis? Mr. Francis?"
Brian came back to his senses. He flipped to the last page and signed his name there without taking a closer look. Camren took the document and glanced at it. His mouth fell open in surprise.
