Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 275 Love Is Not Far From Sadness And Pain (Part Three)

"I'm sorry," Eric didn't know why he had to apologize, but when he saw Molly's tears, those were the only words he could say. He was still holding her face in his hands, while gently wiping away her tears with his thumbs,"I'm so sorry. Don't cry, okay? It was all my fault. I shouldn't have told you that. Just get mad at me or yell at me! But stop crying, please."

Molly pursed her lips and stared at Eric. But she was not exactly looking at him either, her eyes remained blank. Maybe she didn't hear him at all, and was drenched in her sadness.

Eric didn't know what to do and he started panicking too. It was the first time that he was facing a situation such as this. He felt like a child who had got himself into trouble and there were no adults around to help him. He thought of himself as being extremely useless. Eric kept wiping away Molly's tears, but her crying showed no signs of stopping and there were more and more tears rolling down her face. Eric was completely lost in the chaos and all he could do was bring Molly's face closer to his and gently kiss her on the forehead.

"Don't cry, okay?" Eric's tone was no longer as imperious as usual, but was concerned and upset,"It was all my fault. I shouldn't have said anything."

And then he tenderly kissed her on the eyelid. He was so unnerved that he thought that was the only way to get her to stop crying. There was a sudden gleam from the headlights of a car around the corner. Next moment, the car turned and reached near Eric's vehicle.

"Mr. Brian Long, it's Mr. Eric Long's car," said Tony.

From behind, Brian slightly tilted his head to one side and turned to look at the direction of the other car. The moment he saw Eric and Molly, he put on a grim and forbidding expression. His eyes narrowed, radiating danger. Like sharp knifes, his eyes tried to break through the window and separate the two who were clinging onto each other.

The car zoomed forward.

It quickly passed Eric's car. Tony glanced at the rear view mirror, and since Brian didn't ask him to stop, he kept driving along the road.

Brian's eyes slowly drifted back to the road ahead and they showed no emotions now. His thin lips curled into a mocking smile. His eyes became so dark that it looked like a bottomless well which was too deep to venture into.

Tony held his breath. The air in the cramped car felt like it was freezing over. He swallowed hard, and drove into the parking lot of the Grand Night Casino. The moment he stopped the car, Brian got out.

Through the rear view mirror, Tony saw Brian walking towards the private lift. So he quickly parked the car and followed him in.

As the lift slowly moved upwards, Tony was subjected to the dangerous aura cast by Brian. He had seen what was happening in Eric's car as well, and it surprised him that Eric had a crush on Molly too. But what he didn't know was whether Eric really liked Molly or was just trying to mess with Brian.

After what he had seen in Eric's car, Brian seemed even more furious now than before.

He had always been good at hiding his feelings, but every time it came to Molly, he seemed to slightly lose control of his emotions. Earlier, when he had driven Brian to pick up Becky, he thought that there was no one who could replace her in Brian's life. But seeing how he was struggling to control his anger now, Tony was not so sure anymore. For the first time, Brian's behavior confused him.

The lift arrived at the top-most floor. As soon as he walked out of the lift, Brian ordered angrily,"Bring Jason to me, now!"

"Yes, sir," answered Tony as he quickly took out his phone and called Jason.

Brian walked straight into his office and took his seat. He tapped some details on his computer keyboard and stared at the screen grimly. He was watching a recorded video and he paused it when he saw a familiar face on the screen.

He turned away from the computer screen, took the remote and played the video on his monitor. He examined every detail of the video clip which showed what had happened at the casino earlier that night and he got very, very angry.

There was a knock on the door. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"Come in!" ordered Brian in his deep voice.

The door to the office was pushed open and Jason walked in. He inadvertently glanced at the screen before greeting Brian,"Mr. Brian Long, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Who is this man?" Brian got straight to the point without any other questions.

Jason was a little surprised that Brian had actually come back to immediately find out about the man who had humiliated Molly in public. At the same time, he was glad that he had asked the headwaiter to assist her and take care of her. "I'll find out," he answered.

Brian kept his silence, but he was giving off a very dangerous vibe. Jason glanced at Tony, who indicated that he could leave now to find out more about the bulky man in the video. Jason left the office nervously.

Brian fixed his eyes on the monitor. The video was paused on the frame when the man had spilled wine all over Molly's head. In the magnified image, he could clearly see how Molly was trying to hide her embarrassment and tolerate everything that the man was doing to her, how helpless she was because she couldn't speak to even explain herself or to fight back.

He had promised her that he would make her speak again. No one was allowed to look down on that voiceless girl now!

The vein on Brian's forehead started to pulse. Tony was standing behind Brian with his hands folded behind his back. He caught sight of Brian's furious expression and he knew that something terrible was about to happen. The man, who had bullied Molly, had just done his last bad deed. Brian would see to that.

Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door again. Jason opened the door and walked in. He said,"He's the general manager of the Shen Group in A City and also Mr. Shen's distant cousin."

"Is he?" Brian asked calmly, a malicious smile on his face. "His background is even better than mine, isn't it?"

Frowning, Jason looked down and replied,"I'll deal with it."

"You?" Brian fixed his dangerous dark eyes on Jason and asked coldly,"How will you deal with it?"

Jason met his eyes and considered it for a moment before saying,"I'll make sure that everyone knows that Miss Xia is important to the Grand Night Casino. Anyone who is against her, is against the Grand Night Casino as well."

Brian narrowed his dark eyes, stared at Jason, and remained silent for the longest time.

Jason let out a big sigh, knowing that Brian was not at all satisfied with his reply. He then added,"I will do to him what he just did to Miss Molly.
