Chapter 265: Chapter 263: Master Jing: Tanner Manor Must Choose and Apologize in Person
Mason Quinn coldly watched the woman stumble toward them, unable to resist breaking the tender atmosphere between the two.
"Julian, how should we deal with that woman?"
Julian Sia raised his icy gaze, as cold as frost, looking at Evelyn Tanner, a biting chill seemingly solidifying around him.
"Send her back to Tanner Manor, let them make a decision."
His aloof voice carried an icy chill that penetrated to the bone.
Evelyn Tanner staggered slightly at these words, raising her head in disbelief to look at the man.
Her eyes filled with tears, her heart aching intensely.
For that person, he actually wanted Tanner Manor to make a choice.
A few of them, including Robert Harvey, listened to the words and merely sighed silently, not feeling the least bit sympathetic.
She really went too far this time.
In front of Julian, she attacked his girlfriend; Julian sparing her would be a miracle.
Now asking Tanner Manor to make a choice, it’s nothing more than either handing over Evelyn Tanner or facing ruin.
But this move is also a warning to others; with Evelyn Tanner as an example, anyone considering approaching the girlfriend will think twice.
The party that was supposed to be fine has turned into such a mess because of her, really damn annoying.
"Julian and his girlfriend should head back first; we can handle sending her off."
Julian Sia uttered a nonchalant grunt, held the girl’s hand, and left.
...
Tanner Manor.
Samuel Tanner was talking with his wife when suddenly a commotion arose at the door.
They lifted their heads to see their precious daughter being flung onto the ground by Robert Harvey and the others, fury immediately surging up.
"Robert Harvey, what are you doing?"
"Uncle Sam, I suggest you don’t get angry at me," Robert Harvey said with a smug smile, "you’d be better off managing your own daughter first."
Upon hearing this, Samuel Tanner was stunned, not quite understanding his meaning.
"No matter what my daughter did, it’s not up to you to treat her like this." Lu Xin, heartbroken, cradled Evelyn Tanner in her arms, her voice sharp.
Robert Harvey sneered, "Indeed, it’s not up to me, after all, Julian has already made it clear, your Tanner Manor needs to make a choice."
As soon as the words came out.
The couple, who were unhappy earlier, went pale and stared at him incredulously.
Why would Julian suddenly say such a thing?
Samuel Tanner looked at his daughter on the ground, her evasive eyes, a chill ran through his heart, what had Evelyn done?
As if guessing his doubt, Robert Harvey leisurely explained the racetrack incident, "I don’t need to tell you that Julian is fond of his girlfriend, and now she tried to take his girlfriend’s life; Julian asking you to make a choice is already showing restraint."
Otherwise, in the past, given Julian’s tactics, Tanner Manor likely wouldn’t have fared well.
Samuel Tanner never imagined his daughter would do such a thing; last time, because of her, the Xie family withdrew their cooperation, if not for considering the old man’s face, Tanner Manor would have been done for long ago.
Now she’s directly angered Julian, anyone in the circle knows Julian doesn’t care about face, take the Zheng family for example, they have a marriage alliance with Green Estate, yet he still intervened decisively.
"Dad, I didn’t mean it." Evelyn Tanner paled, shook her head with a crying voice.
Slap.
Samuel Tanner slapped her hard in the face, "Don’t you know this is attempted murder?"
He said, and another slap followed.
Evelyn Tanner’s small face immediately swelled, it was evident he had used great force.
As Samuel Tanner continued cursing her, Robert Harvey didn’t stop, but instead lightly remarked, "Uncle Sam, there’s no need to put on this show, your slapping and scolding won’t affect your choice."
Samuel Tanner’s raised hand stiffened, his daughter’s face already swollen beyond recognition, he closed his eyes, about to speak when an elderly voice interrupted.
"What are you doing?" Sam Tanner looked at the scene in the living room, frowning and his face grew dark.
Once Evelyn Tanner saw the old man, she cried out as if seeing a savior, "Grandpa."
Sam Tanner noticed his most beloved granddaughter’s disheveled hair and swollen face, a fire of anger burning inside.
Looking at Samuel Tanner with his hand still raised in mid-air, he understood everything.
"She’s your own daughter; give me an explanation."
Samuel Tanner smiled bitterly, knowing she’s his daughter, but Julian had spoken, if this could appease Julian’s anger, it was worth it.
"Dad, Evelyn messed with someone she shouldn’t have."
Sam Tanner knew his son well, if it weren’t urgent, he wouldn’t have such an expression, an uneasy premonition arose in his heart.
As expected.
The next second, he heard Samuel Tanner’s voice, "She acted against Julian’s girlfriend at the racetrack today..."
Before the rest was said, Sam Tanner understood, first looking angrily at Evelyn Tanner for not living up to expectations, then spoke, "Come with me to Sia Manor."
For Tanner Manor, she’s the only daughter; unless absolutely necessary, she cannot be given up.
Seeing the Tanner family preparing to stubbornly follow their path to destruction, Robert Harvey shrugged, soon the circle would be shaken again.
...
"Sir, the Tanner family is here."
Robert Harvey whispered as he watched the two playing chess in the living room.
However, inwardly, he felt curious if he had seen correctly earlier, didn’t the Tanner daughter have slap marks on her face?
The old master of Sia responded with ambiguous tone, "Do you think they’ll have anything to say?"
Julian Sia placed a black piece down, casually said, "Plead."
Finally.
He lost interest, put the remaining chess pieces into the box, turned his head toward the girl playing games, eyes smiling, "Claire, are you hungry?"
Claire Green shook her head, her hands not stopping, "I’m fine."
Upon hearing.
Julian Sia glanced at the butler, and Robert Harvey immediately nodded to give orders.
Once Sam Tanner came in, his face fell as he spoke, "Julian, I just learned Evelyn made a mistake, now bringing her to apologize to the young girl."
Finishing, he looked displeased at those behind, "Hurry up."
Evelyn Tanner squeezed her palm, her heart filled with hatred and humiliation, reluctantly said, "I’m sorry, Miss Green."
In response was a burst of game sounds, Claire Green didn’t even spare a glance at her.
Sam Tanner’s face immediately fell, yet he still had to smile humbly, "Miss Green, I’ve heard Evelyn recount what happened, since you’ve responded similarly, why not let the matter drop."
Upon hearing.
Claire Green raised her cold eyes from the screen, her red lips lightly opened, "What if I don’t want to?"
The girl’s tone was indifferent but tinged with chill.
Anger her and attempt to leave unscathed? Why not go back to dreaming.
Sam Tanner could no longer maintain his smile, were it not for the unsuitable venue, he would have cursed aloud.
"Miss Green, after all, you’re unharmed, why make a fuss?" Lu Xin’s words immediately drew cold sights toward her.
"It seems Tanner Manor has made a choice."
Julian Sia’s fingers rubbed his thumb, his voice pressed deeply, making Sam Tanner shiver.
"Julian, Evelyn is still childish..."
Before the words finished, Caleb Green’s cold voice came from outside.
"Tanner Manor raised a giant baby, my sister just came of age, never mentioning childishness."
Samuel Tanner heard his words, anxiety deepening, "Young Caleb’s sister is?"
"The one your daughter attempted to run over," Caleb Green said expressionlessly, "even if Julian spares her today, Green Estate absolutely won’t let it go."
