Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 243

Brian showed up pretty late this time, keeping Andre and Mia hanging in the living room.

After about ten minutes of waiting, Brian finally came down from upstairs. He walked up to them with a smile, "Really sorry, Andre. I was tied up with some work in the study earlier and couldn't attend to you immediately. Hope you understand."

Mia wasn't a fool; she didn't buy stories easily.

Since she was here to stir things up, there was no need for her to act ladylike.

She chuckled, "Brian, think before you lie. Didn't you sneak a couple of peeks at us from the staircase corner just now?"

Caught off guard, Brian dodged Mia's question and instead asked her, "…who are you?"

Mia pretended to look surprised and said, "Oh dear, you don't know who I am? At our wedding, we invited a lot of big shots. Guess we missed inviting you."

Brian's face turned sour at Mia's words.

She was mocking him for not being a big shot.

"We did invite you, it's just that I have a bad memory."

Mia pretended to be surprised again, "It's normal to forget things when you get old, Brian. Are you eighty already?"

Brian gritted his teeth, "I'm fifty-five."

Mia turned to her husband, "Honey, don't you find it strange that Brian, in his fifties, looks like he's eighty?"

Andre: His wife's mouth was running wild again, back to her sarcastic ways.

Seemed like she was really pissed about something and her aggressive side was showing again.

Brian was getting a headache from Mia's words. He was an adult, he couldn't just blabber like Mia. He said, "Mrs. Cedillo, you really lack manners."

Mia: "Brian, you're really impolite too."

Andre cut off their chatter, he was here for Leo. "Where's my nephew?"

That brought Brian back to the agenda. He signaled the butler who went to get Leo from the backyard.

While waiting for Leo, Brian cautiously reminded Andre, "Andre, I saved your life once. You should repay kindness with kindness. I don't ask for anything, but you can't let your nephew mess around in my shop, scaring away my customers. That's too much, don't you think?"

Andre lazily replied, "Brian, how do you know I let my nephew mess around in your shop? Why would I let him do that? I won't take responsibility for something I didn't do. If you can't clear things up today, this matter might… not be over."

He chuckled looking at Brian, giving off an intimidating vibe, making Brian unable to meet his eyes.

Andre's aura was overpowering Brian, his patience with the Marshal family was running thin, and he wasn't hiding it anymore.

Soon Leo arrived.

Seeing him being pushed in with his arms pressed, Mia clenched her fists.

The Marshal family was really humiliating people. Only those arrested would be forcefully pushed into a room. Although Leo didn't have any physical injuries, he looked a bit hunched when he entered.

Mia's small hand was suddenly tightly held by a large hand. She turned to look at Andre, who wasn't looking at her.

Andre didn't fix his gaze on her, and he was just smiling at Brian, his gazes cold as ice, as if he wanted to shred Brian into pieces. He seemed calm, even when seeing his nephew being humiliated, he could still smile. "Brian, can you tell me how my nephew was affecting your business?"

Brian answered: "Nothing major, just broke a few glasses."
