Chapter 273 Brian's Utter Humiliation
- At the thought of Alex and his mother, Yuri, Belle was seen with tears welling up in her eyes. "When Brian was in his senior year in high school, I was plagued with a serious illness that nearly took my life away. However, Yuri saved my life and paid the hospital bill for me when she traveled a long way from Dusktown to Sanguine Mountain to visit me…"
- "What are you talking about, Mom?" Rachael was seen with a gloomy look on her face as she shook off Belle's hand. "Mom, Brian's colleague is busy with his work now, so spare him all the boring stories."
- In the meantime, Brian nervously tried to appease his mother, his forehead covered in a cold sweat. "Mom, can we talk about this when we get home? I'm sorry for what I did. It was all my fault, and I should have been more concerned with you and Alex. When you get home, you can do whatever you want to me, but please just put a stop to all this farce here." Deep down, Brian was embarrassed enough with Mack hearing everything from his mother. Thus, when Belle made a scene about their domestic issue in front of a crowd of outsiders, he was overwhelmed by his sense of shame. As the commotion drew the attention of more of his colleagues, Brian could feel goosebumps running all over his scalp, wishing he could die rather than suffer from the humiliation.
