Chapter 648: Chapter 648: What Do You Think About Clear Pricing? Chapter 648: Chapter 648: What Do You Think About Clear Pricing? Brandon Piers's return to the country was known to few when he went abroad, but his return alarmed many people.
Especially the second branch of the Piers family.
Although Adam Piers stood by Brandon after the casino incident, his father was not clear-headed. After this lesson, he did not learn his lesson and was swayed back into the situation by Oliver Piers's gentle words.
When Adam left, the old man couldn't help but ask, “How do you plan to handle this?”
“Although the Durin explosion wasn't directly caused by his people, he personally facilitated it. Grandpa, you know I will not indulge him again.” Brandon Piers looked at his grandfather with no hint of compromise; Abigail was his bottom line.
The old man also knew about that matter and nodded, “Rest assured, I won't interfere this time.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.” Brandon looked at his grandfather, confirming his sincerity, thanked him earnestly. He knew very well that it was not easy for his grandfather to make this decision.
Abigail, hearing the conversation between them, looked at Brandon Piers with some worry. After many incidents, she was well aware that Brandon's third uncle was not easy to deal with.
Brandon noticed Abigail's gaze and reached out to pat her head. “I will handle these matters. Are you planning to go back to school?”
Last semester, Abigail had an incident before it ended. This semester had already been two months in, and Brandon wanted to ask for Abigail's opinion.
Abigail then remembered that she was still a student and hesitated for a while. “I'll go, but not as I used to. I plan to finish my credits quickly and get my diploma.”
After this incident, Abigail's mindset had changed significantly. She had completely lost interest in experiencing university life.
But she still felt reluctant to part with her classmates.
“Alright.” Brandon agreed verbally, though he felt conflicted. He hoped Abigail could stay in the university environment for a few more years to live a lighter life. But he was worried that the beauties at school would chase after her since she had become prettier. However, thinking about her doing more than nine hundred surgeries in three years at Smith Hospital made him reluctant.
At present, he could only agree with Abigail's plan.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.
Just as Brandon said this, his phone buzzed. It was Noel Roberts.
Brandon answered, listened for a while. “Mm. OK, I will bring Abigail over.” Then, thinking of something, he asked, “Where's David Locke? Why haven't I heard about his visit?”
Someone wanted to know if the gift they sent had worked.
“You don't know?” Noel asked, then immediately thought of how this person was busy finding a wife and had no time for tabloid news. He answered his own question, “That guy has been swamped with scandals and can't come out.”
“Oh, scandals?” Brandon raised an eyebrow.
“It's too complicated to explain now. Check the news yourself. David Locke might be done for this time.” Noel sighed. He knew that guy would eventually trip over a woman.
Brandon hung up the phone and saw the push notifications about David Locke's scandal about using his position to take advantage of actresses on set.
After flipping through a few photos, Brandon raised an eyebrow. “He played quite a big game.”
Abigail heard the content of the conversation between the men and saw her man, who usually seemed detached from the secular world, browsing gossip on his phone. She couldn't help but lean in curiously. “What's up with Director Locke?”
Unexpectedly, Brandon covered her eyes. “It's filthy. You can't look.”
Abigail became even more curious. She coquettishly leaned in closer to Brandon's arms, only to hear the old man's light cough. “Ahem, um… You all eat. I'll take Teddy out to play. We'll go out and play.”
Abigail was just interested in checking out the gossip.
She was very curious about what was in her grandfather's head.
But with the old man gone, Abigail relaxed a lot, even seeing the gossip content. She couldn't help but open her mouth slightly. “Is… is this real?”
Brandon shrugged. How could he know!
Boutique Apartments.
David Locke threw a few photos into Mary Scott's face. “Did you take these?”
After the Jerry Entertainment was implicated in a casino money laundering scandal and the explosive scandal of male and female stars being forced into sex, everyone in the entertainment circle lived in constant fear. They usually yearned to be on the trending list, but now they were terrified of appearing on it.
Yet, he had been pushed to the top of the trending list for several days. On the first day, Twitter even crashed because of it, all thanks to the woman in front of him.
“If I told you it wasn't me who exposed this, would you believe me?” Mary Scott's face hurt from the slap, but her small face stubbornly looked at David.
“Heh, not you?” David grabbed Mary Scott's chin, mocking her. How could she still try to deny it at this point?
Seeing David's expression, Mary Scott knew he didn't believe her. She smirked even more sarcastically. “If it were me, I wouldn't just expose any tabloid scandal. I would directly expose you for rape!”
“What did you say? Say it again!” David was furious. His handsome face was full of coldness.
“I said if it were me, I would expose you for… mmm… you bastard, what are you doing? Let go of me!” Mary screamed in panic as the tall figure pressed down on her, pain spreading from her lips.
David did not move at all. “What am I doing? I'll show you what real rape is!”
“You wouldn't dare!” Mary was so scared that her body curled up. She remembered the previous night in R Nation when the man pinned her down in fury. She cursed lightly, “You dare,” then thought of something. “Dobbin Locke, don't tell me you still can't let go of me after all these years…”
Just as Mary finished speaking, the weight on her body suddenly lightened. Then she heard the man's mocking voice. “Can't let go of you? With your filthy body and those lousy acting skills?”
“If you don't, then why are you so fixated on me?” Mary's face turned blue from David's harsh words. She gritted her teeth and said.
David laughed angrily. “I'm fixated on you? Do you really think I can't trace the source of the leaks?”
“I… It's really not me!” Upon hearing this, Mary's tone became softer. The last time, he had taken her into his lounge in front of everyone, even tearing her clothes. But in the end, he didn't touch her out of disgust. Yet somehow, those private moments were exposed in photos.
What's worse, the photos barely revealed her, with her face hardly visible. But David was clear as day in them.
Coupled with the sensational title, it was impossible for people not to gossip.
Especially following the incident at Jerry Entertainment, the entertainment circle was in turmoil. The scandal immediately blew up various websites. Moreover, someone deliberately fanned the flames. Once the most talented young director in the country, David Locke had become a pariah. Even the movie he was directing had to be suspended.
Hearing Mary's words and seeing her guilty expression, David immediately understood. He cursed himself for ever expecting anything from her. It was ridiculous.
After calming down, David expressionlessly tossed a document in front of Mary Scott. “Sign it.”
Mary opened the document in confusion, then her face turned pale. “What do you take me for?”
“A clear price tag. What do you think?”
