Chapter 174 Oh My Gosh! It's Him! (Part One)

For a moment Molly froze as she was stiff with fear.

And then with relief, she looked at Edgar and thought, 'What Jenifer had warned me about at Mr. Song's family still rings true to me.

Now, I'm not good enough to be with you. So why bother to talk to me?

Jenifer is a perfect match for you from all aspects, be it social, economic status, or whatever...'

At this time, Jenifer came over and politely nodded to Brian, pretending that she didn't notice his detached response. She then circled her arm around Edgar and said,"Well. So you're here with Mr. Long... No wonder it was taking you so long to get a drink for me!''

Jenifer didn't greet Molly then but instead cast a fierce glance at her every other moment.

Slightly startled and intimated by the awkwardness, Molly bit her lip and unconsciously moved closer to Brian. Her subconscious movement did not go unnoticed and meant different to Brian and Edgar.

Edgar felt suffocated immediately by her involuntary movement. But before he could realize why he felt so strongly about something so trivial, the feeling disappeared. He calmed his churning emotions, put on a decent smile and then politely addressed Brian,"Mr. Long, will you excuse us, please!"

He then took a long glance at Molly and left with Jenifer.

Molly lowered her eyes as she failed to understand how she felt now. At first, she was scared and embarrassed but now it was a myriad of feelings... She felt that she no longer had anything to lose.

She thought, 'Edgar, don't give up anything for me. If my existence was blocking your path to success and advancement, just like Jenifer said then... I'll stay far away from you to ensure you lead a happy and fruitful life.'

Brian somehow felt happy when Molly moved closer to him. But now he was rather upset by sensing her emotions which clearly reflected on her face.

"So it seems that you don't want him go... Do you now?" Brian asked her upfront.

As Molly was snapped out of her reflecting moment, she suddenly looked at him and was a little scared by his dark and sharp eyes which demanded an answer. She then snapped back, ''And well it would seem that you don't want Wing go either, do you?"

Brian frowned, but he wasn't going to explain the real nature of his relationship with Wing to Molly, not right then anyway.

Suddenly, they heard a voice calling from behind them,"Brian, Little Molly... She is my companion tonight!" called out Eric. He came over and began complaining, ''Why are you holding her in such a manner? I am sure you will feature in tomorrow's headline."

Brian revealed an arrogant and cold smile as he said, ''Well, you can rest assured that's not gonna happen."

That was true. No one would dare to toss Mr. Long's name in the headline, as they would be welcoming their own destruction. ...

"But I don't want to make the headline!" complained Eric. He casually took Molly out of Brian's arms. With a smile on his face, he said, ''I'll drive Little Molly home and you take care of the rest of the things here..."

After he finished speaking, Eric held Molly around her waist and walked out of the premises.

Brian let a shallow and wicked smile take over his face.

"If you're unhappy about what is happening, why don't you go and get her?" asked Shirley curiously. She came over and asked as she saw Eric and Molly leaving. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Brian cast a glance at her and coolly replied,"Shirley, just stay out of my business! I am sure you have other things to meddle in."

"Well, I didn't do anything so you can relax." Shirley defended herself with an innocent smile. . "I was just expressing my concern and care for you, my son," she muttered.

Brian's face clouded over. Just when he was about to reply to Shirley, he closed his mouth because he saw Richie approaching him!

'Everyone knows that Richie is always partial towards Shirley irrespective of the circumstances, even if I'm his son.' thought Brian.

Shirley also knew that unsaid factor. So she asked with confidence,"Brian, have you ever felt that you're in love with someone without realizing it and there is no use of shutting her out of you heart?"

"No, I do not know what that would feel like!" Brian responded. He cast a glance at Richie and coldly said, 'Please take care of your wife and handle her. If you lose, you lose, there is nothing to be done!"

He too then left the party with a bitter mood.

Shirley felt angry with his attitude, she shouted,"Richie, just look at your son and his attitude! So ill- mannered and rude."!

"Well, he is your son as much as he is mine!" said Richie indifferently, trying to ignore her point. In the meanwhile, he fixed his gaze on Brian in a strict manner.

Shirley was frustrated, she wondered, 'Where does this raging temper come from? He's not adorable at all, instead he is just annoying.'

"They are adults and they know what they are doing. You don't need to meddle in their affairs..." Richie looked away from Brian. He put his arm around Shirley's waist and walked right up to the resting area. He said, ''Everyone should be responsible for what he did, including Brian."

Suddenly Shirley called out his name, ''Richie..." And in the meanwhile, she frowned as she retrospected.

"Yes, what is it?" replied Richie. He looked at Shirley to hear what she had to say.

"You must know something about all of this!" said Shirley in a demanding tone. "I agree with your parenting and way of raising children. That's a must experience for everyone from the Long family. But I don't think Brian should hurt innocent people without a reason.''

Richie fixed his gaze on Shirley and sighed slowly, ''Innocent or not is a subjective judgement. Is there any way for Molly to escape if Steven weren't set up?"

Shirley gave a confused look to Richie.

"Every cause has an effect. We can stop him this time..." said Richie with conviction. We cannot stop him after we leave. Everyone has his own life. We cannot impose on them nor can we make decisions for them on how to lead their lives.''

Shirley lowered her eyes and thought, 'I'm no longer the one who had to make a living with Wing. Having experienced so much, I understand what Richie means. I just feel sorry for Molly. It seems to me that Molly is who I was back then. She is undergoing what I did.

However, Richie is a responsible man. If he has realized that he's wrong, he'll admit and make amends. But Brian on the other hand... With his unusual childhood and domineering raging temper... I'm afraid he still has a long way to go before going on the right path.'
