My Mom’s Second Marriage Gifted Me Seven Brothers - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: The Gun Went Off
Lunch was arranged in a private room of the hotel.

This time, Jayce sat at the head of the table, Monroe and Mary sat on the left, and Nelson and Hugh sat opposite them.

The lunch was sumptuous, and Mary was starving.

Hugh sighed. “With so much going on, I see that not only have you handled it well, but your business hasn’t been affected at all!”

Hugh gave Monroe a sincere thumbs up.

Nelson was also curious. “I see that the police have already come here several times. Don’t you need to step in?”

Monroe said, “There are specialized departments to handle these matters.”

Jayce said, “The business has indeed not been affected. It seems that you have a lot of experience.”

Monroe curled his lips. “The people who come to Yunhan Casino to play are more or less people who have their heads and wealth tied to their waists. Besides, if someone dies unexpectedly, we will compensate them handsomely if we are responsible for it!”

Hugh clicked his tongue. “You’re so rich! Mary, you must hold on to Monroe well!”

Mary smiled. “I already do!”

Monroe turned his head and looked at her helplessly, his eyes full of indulgence.

Jayce said, “Monroe, I heard that you demoted the Public Relations department, and you still have the intention of disbanding it?”

Monroe looked up at Jayce. “This is an internal matter of my company. Have you been meddling too much?”

Jayce shrugged. “Please forgive me. I’m just curious. Have you become a vegetarian recently?”

Monroe put down the knife and fork in his hand expressionlessly and picked up a towel to wipe his hands. “Even if you’re my biological brother, you should respect my privacy!”

Hugh, Nelson, and even Mary felt that the conversation had gone wrong!

What was going on with these two people?

They were having a good meal, but why did it feel like there was something wrong with their tone?

Mary looked at Monroe, and there was anger in his eyes.

Jayce, on the other hand, looked calm and peaceful.

Mary’s hand came under the table and gently patted Monroe’s leg.

The anger in Monroe’s eyes gradually subsided.

Others might not have noticed, but Jayce saw their little movements clearly!

He frowned and was about to speak, but Hugh quickly came out to smooth things over. “Hey! Nelson, aren’t you looking for Monroe? I think he’s quite busy in the afternoon, why don’t you talk to him now!”

Nelson said, “That’s true. Monroe, I want to ask you for a few capable people. Recently, the entertainment industry is a bit dangerous and not very peaceful, so you have to be skilled… it’s best if you’re as good as our baby sister Mary.”

Nelson looked at Mary and smiled. “I wonder when Mary will be willing to go to Los Angeles with me for a month?”

Monroe had already regained his calm and looked up at Nelson. “Your requirements are too high. Mary is skilled enough to fight against four or five of my subordinates alone. No problem.”

Mary buried her head in her soup.

Other than Monroe, the other three brothers looked at her in shock!

Was she that strong?!

Mary didn’t dare to raise her head. “You’re exaggerating!”

She only wanted to keep a low profile, but everyone around her wanted to show off her strength!

Monroe looked down at her and smiled. “I’m telling the truth. We’ve fought before, so I know in my heart.”

Mary had killed a traitor unscathed today, which was the best proof.

Hugh said, “Nelson, I don’t care what you think. Mary is mine this month anyway!”

Nelson said nothing. Hugh started to defend his sister again.

Nelson said, “I’m already looking forward to the month you’ll be by my side.”

Jayce didn’t say anything. He just looked away and continued to eat lunch.

After lunch, Monroe told Nelson that he still had some internal matters to deal with, so he couldn’t take Mary away for the time being.

Jayce still had some matters to deal with and wanted to leave with Nelson.

But before he left, he said a few words to Mary.

These words, apart from Mary, no one else heard them.

“Pay attention to the boundaries between you and Monroe!

“Don’t forget what I told you. I’m your brother, and he’s your brother too!

“It’s best not to commit any more unethical mistakes!

“Mary Dawson, I don’t care what secrets you have, the clean and clear Hall family will not be disturbed by you!”
