Chapter 312 Third Brother Got Hit by a Car
The way these two interacted seemed off. Both Mr. Tang and his own big brother had this innocent look in their eyes that didn't sit right. If there was something fishy going on, it just wouldn't fly. But they couldn't quite put their finger on what exactly felt off. Balk and Sylvia couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious and curious.
But since they were in front of them, they couldn't say anything further. They'd have to wait a bit until they were out of earshot to ask what was really going on.
"Alright, forget it. I won't bother telling you more. You siblings chat amongst yourselves. I'm heading to your place for dinner."
After saying this, Taoleisi left without bothering about what was going on between the siblings. She didn't care about their matters, but the other two were itching with curiosity. So, what exactly was happening? They were dying to know.
Bruce had noticed the looks his siblings were giving each other early on and didn't feel like saying anything more. Their expressions were practically screaming gossip.
"Let's go. We'll talk about this once we get home. But you have to promise me one thing: don't tell Dad. If Dad hears about this, he might faint."
When Bruce said this, both siblings fell silent. They couldn't help but think, if you're doing something like this, and you're worried Dad will faint from hearing about it, isn't that a bit much? But they didn't know what else to say.
"Okay, let's go."
Though both of them had plenty to say in their minds, they held back out of respect for their big brother. They decided they'd ask about it properly once they got back home. They needed to understand what was going on with their brother. What was he thinking?
Once the three siblings were back home, Balk and Sylvia wasted no time pulling Bruce into the study. It was late, and there was no one else in the house, so they didn't mind discussing things there. They weren't afraid of being overheard.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"Alright, let me just say it straight. He's just a friend of mine. He's gay, and he has a girlfriend. He came to me for help. He's the heir to his family's business, but his father's will states that only if he gets married can he inherit the company. If he doesn't marry, he has no claim to it."
Bruce only said part of the story, but Balk and Sylvia immediately understood what he meant. They were just pretending to be a couple; they had no real relationship. The reason for all this was to help Taoleisi secure the inheritance of her family's business.
It seemed like a good idea, but there were some downsides to it. After thinking for a while, Sylvia raised some concerns.
"But big brother, if you're really going through with this, how can you ensure it won't backfire? After all, he still has a girlfriend. What if she's not happy with you two pretending to be together? And there's also the possibility of them paying her off to leave. How can you be sure nothing will go wrong?" Sylvia's questions were based on practical concerns, and Balk nodded along. Sylvia had a point. So, what exactly was the situation?
"Yeah, and if you do end up marrying him, Dad will eventually find out about both of you, won't he? You won't be able to hide this forever."
Balk chimed in with a serious tone.
Bruce couldn't help but rub his temples. How could he not know this? In fact, this situation was giving him a massive headache.
"I know. So, before anything else, I
need to find a way to make Dad trust me first. If he doesn't trust me, this whole thing is risky. Before that, need your help, but Dad can't find out about this. If he does, it'll be a problem."
Even though they didn't know what his plan was, they were still willing to help their brother.
"Big brother, just tell us what you need. We'll help you no matter what, but this situation..."
They felt the risk was too great. If Dad found out about this, what would happen? After all, their father wasn't the type to let things slide.
"Wait a minute, big brother, is Taoleisi the heir of that family?"
Sylvia suddenly had a realization and kept blinking at Bruce, who nodded in response.
Seeing her big brother nod, Sylvia couldn't help but gasp. Each of the siblings seemed to have their own rebellious streak.
"Big brother, you've got guts. If Dad finds out about this, he might really faint."
Hearing Sylvia's words, Bruce's mouth twitched. What could he do? After all, his friend was Taoleisi.
Balk still had no clue what they were talking about. Just as he was about to ask,his phone rang. He picked it up, confused, only to find it was a call from the hospital.
"What's wrong with Third Brother? Why is the hospital calling me? Has something happened?"
Balk's tone was light at first, but when he heard what the person on the other end said, he couldn't sit still.
"What? You're saying my brother got into a car accident?"
That bombshell of news made the other two also sit up, looking at him seriously, wanting to know what was going on.
Balk's face turned a bit grim, but he knew it wasn't the time to panic. He needed to calm down first and find out the whole story before making any plans.
"Which hospital is he at? We'll come right away."
After getting the location, the three siblings immediately set off.
