Chapter 445

“You’re really unreasonable.” Bryan was furious. This was the first time he had met. such a coid–

blooded person.

Alicia was also furious, but she had always remembered to keep calm when she was with Bryan.

Therefore, although angry, she did not do anything out of line but only glared at Olivia angrily.

“Let’s go!” Bryan ignored Olivia and left with Alicia.

Alicia did not want to leave just like that. She looked back at Olivia with every step she took and pretended to be pitiful. “Olivia, what’s your condition to spare my brother?”

“Don’t beg her.” Bryan said coldly, “She’s a heartless ingrate.”

“Bryan.” Alicia looked up at him helplessly and tugged at his sleeve. “How can we save Ashley?”

She was wearing a white dress, and her waist was extremely narrow. The wide hemline made her waist look even more slender. Her face was raised, and she was crying pitifully. The corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose blushed, and she looked extremely poor but cute.

Bryan’s heart softened.

He was kind of warm–hearted indeed. Now that he saw the pitiful Alicia, he could not help but burst out with tender affection. He promised, “Don’t worry, Berry can’t hurt Ashley. She’s not that omnipotent.

She just has been the Saintess for a few days. Outsiders don’t know what on earth the Saintess is and treat her as an esteemed guest. How can we not know that the so–called Saintess is just a blood. bag for voodoo worms?”

“Relax. I’ll go talk to Dolph now. Ashley will definitely be fine. Let Berry be arrogant for now. Sooner or later, she will be punished.”

The glimmer of a smile flickered in Alicia’s eyes. Then, from an angle that Bryant could not see her expression, Alicia raised her eyebrows at Olivia and gave her a smug and provocative look.

“Look, Berry, Bryan is on my side!”

“Why are you looking at me? Are your eyes cramping? You raised your eyebrows. and provoked me.

How dramatic!” Olivia did not indulge her. She immediately. responded and said, “The matter hasn’t been settled yet, and you’re already showing off to me. Do you really think Bryan can help you?”

Hearing this, Bryan’s body stiffened. He turned around and looked at Alicia in surprise.

Alicia was about to lose control. Berry was such a bitch. Why did Berry have to expose her? Her image of being gentle and pure could not be destroyed.

10181 In the past, Berry was like a mute. No matter how she hit or scolded her, she would not fight against her. But now, she only gave her a smug look and she couldn’t bear it at all.

No matter how angry she was, Alicia had to stay calm.

She heard that Bryan was about to marry someone. He was the eldest grandson of the Dale family’s First Elder, who was the third leader of the Dale family. His marriage would be very important. She had to maintain her good image so that she could have a chance to get engaged to Bryan.

At the thought of this, Alicia widened her eyes and said innocently, “Berry, what are you talking about? I was not looking at you. Did you misunderstand something?”

“You are really like a bitch.” Olivia raised her chin slightly. Her eyes were filled with disdain and continued, “You know what? You don’t need to act like that. If you want to put on a show, go pretend with Bryan in private. Don’t cause me any trouble, okay? Get lost!”

What the hell!

Alicia was so angry that her entire body was trembling. However, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger. Not only could she not be angry, but she had to pretend that she was sorry about making a mistake. “Bryan, she has misunderstood me. What should I do? Should I apologize to her? It’s all my fault.” Bryan frowned and was about to comfort her. Olivia’s cold words came sideways. “It’s indeed your fault. You should apologize and go to hell/”

Bryan was speechless.

Alicia was so angry that she almost died of the anger!

She did not want to stay here any longer. She wanted to leave immediately! After leaving the courtyard, Alicia finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Bryan comforted her. “Berry is a crazy lunatic. Just ignore her. Don’t worry about Ashley either. I’ll go with you to see First Elder now.”

Alicia’s almond–shaped eyes were full of tears as she looked at Bryan.

affectionately. “Thanks, Bryan, you’re so kind. But, what if the First Elder doesn’t agree?”

“Of course, he will agree, I have my ways.” Bryan comforted Alicia. Although he was warm–hearted, he was still the eldest grandson of the Dale family’s First Elder. He had been nurtured since he was young and had some knowledge and ability. “Berry is just a blood bag for the golden voodoo worms. She has no right to decide anything at all. The reason Dolph punished Ashley was to appease the anger of the golden voodoo worms and was just a piece of playacting. He did not- really want to punish Ashley.

“Think about it. No matter what, Ashley attacked the Saintess and threatened the safety of the golden voodoo worms. If he is not punished, wouldn’t everyone be able to bully the golden voodoo worms in the future? There’s no way to explain this to our clansmen, so we have to do something to let our clansmen know that the Four Elders value the golden voodoo worms.”

Alicia nodded and looked at Bryan in admiration. “Bryan, you’re amazing. You have such a great knowledge. I didn’t even know about this.”

Bryan pursed his lips and a smug look flashed across his eyes. He raised his hand to touch Alicia’s head and comforted her. “You’re still a young lady. You don’t have to know these things.”

She shook her head. “But Lucy from the Lopez family knows everything. Everyone says that she will take over the position of First Elder of the Lopez Family in the future.” Alicia probed calmly.

Lucy Lopez was famous in the four major families, the Flores, the Dale, the Sprout, and the Lopez. She was talented and beautiful. She had a deep understanding of voodoo worms and was extremely smart.

All the younger generation of the four major families had heard of her.

At the mention of Lucy Lopez, Bryan’s eyes flashed with gentleness. He subconsciously lowered his voice, “Lucy is different. She’s a special woman with great ambitions. You don’t have to compare yourself to her.

Upon hearing this, gloom flickered in Alicia’s eyes. She changed the topic naturally. “Bryan, tell me more about saving Ashley.”

Bryan came back to his senses and continued, “I have an idea. As long as we ally with some of our clansmen and take the initiative to plead with the First Elder, claiming that Ashley did not hurt the golden voodoo worms on purpose and that minor punishment will do. Then the First Elder will have a way out. It’s a reasonable explanation to our clansmen and Ashley will not be severely punished. He will only be lightly punished and imprisoned for a few days.

“Really?” Alicia’s eyes lit up. “You’re really amazing. I didn’t think of this. How can you be so smart?”

The woman’s undisguised admiration and praise for the man were actually flattering. Bryan felt the same. Just as he was feeling smug, a cold voice suddenly sounded. “Of course, you haven’t thought of this, because you’re brainless!”

It was Berry!

She ruined the atmosphere! Alicia glared at her angrily. “What are you doing here?”

Olivia crossed her arms. “Let me tell you, no matter what idea he thinks of, it’s useless. I mean to punish Ashley severely. Today, you’ll see if I can do it!”

After saying that, she ignored the two of them and walked past them towards the. courtyard of the First Elder.
