Chapter 58 Get Your Ass Back Here
In Kieran’s study.
Bruce and the two of them looked at the blacked–out phone screen, unable to say a word.
Veins bulged on Bruce’s forehead and arms.
He was angry to see Valerie being beaten up in the video.
No matter what, she is still my younger sister, but now she suddenly developed a strong sense of being my older brother.
“Brother! We cannot let those who attacked Valerie go unpunished!”
Kieran snapped back to reality.
Kieran glanced subtly at Bruce, his younger brother whom he knew very well. The reason he was so indignant now was because his own family had been attacked, and he couldn’t bear it.
Well, Valerie already shouted it out.
I wish he could live with the present Valerie.
He would just become more disgusted.
Kieran tightly gripped his phone and nodded slowly at Bruce.
“You’re right. Although Valerie said that we shouldn’t get involved in this matter, it has already become such a big issue. If we don’t express our opinion, some malicious people might say that our family is heartless.”
Doing this would also make Reese shut up a little bit.
Bruce flipped through the documents in his hand with force, and the study room made a rustling sound.
The hearts of the two individuals were not relieved at all.
In the live broadcast, Valerie and Tucker were casually picking wild vegetables and mushrooms. Seeing this, the members of other teams immediately followed suit.
The cheerful atmosphere of the group of people made Valerie’s mood also become cheerful.
Bright eyes, visibly became warm.
Bruce watched the live stream, and the more he watched, the more unsatisfied he felt. He stood up, left Kieran’s study, and called David.
“Hello?”
“Hey! Mr. Horton! Good afternoon, good afternoon. Are you calling to inquire about Valerie’s condition?”
David, who was working behind the scenes, suddenly received a call from Bruce, thinking it was to inquire about Valerie’s condition.
I quickly answered the call and proceeded to report Valerie’s situation. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“No, I came to ask how many tasks are still unfinished. Finish all of them within these two days and let her come back early.”
So as not to see them having a great time and feeling uncomfortable in my heart.
“What?”
The smile on David’s face froze.
What does it mean?
Weren’t you here to ask about Valerie’s situation?
“Mr. Horton, are you suggesting that Ms. Horton continue recording?”
When David asked, he didn’t dare to breathe, staring with wide eyes at Valerie in the camera.
The whole person remained motionless…
Bruce on the other end of the phone suddenly became irritated, and his tone was not very pleasant.
“The program had already started, so of course it had to be recorded till the end. She only appeared in this episode; can’t she even complete one episode?”
David was tongue–tied!
His mind is a bit confused now. With all these things happening, he still thinks about the show?
“I, I asked Ms. Horton.”
David angrily hung up the phone.
He watched Valerie picking mushrooms seriously on the screen, holding his chest, staying silent with a different expression.
The sky was blue, and the flowers were fragrant.
The wind gently blew across Valerie’s rosy cheeks.
She stood in the open space, leisurely sitting on the ground, looking at the fields below.
In the previous life, when Zoe was watching the variety show recorded by her, she already had a strong liking for this place.
The last place we found was also this place.
Familiar location, familiar scent of grass.
“Valerie? Have you finished picking? Get ready to go down.”
Tucker’s pants were covered in mud, but he seemed to not care about it anymore.
Because the time limit for the task was approaching.
“I have finished picking, let’s go down.”
Valerie snapped out of her thoughts and quickly got up to join Tucker. The two held hands and went downstairs.
The courtyard was bustling, and everyone was sharing what they had picked.
Only Valerie, she was once again stopped by David on her way.
This time, Tucker’s expression turned dark, and his tone sounded a bit impatient.
“What’s wrong again?”
David smiled apologetically at the two of them and eventually squatted down to have a face-to-face conversation with Valerie.
“Valerie, it’s for you. Your brother just told me that we need to complete the task as soon as possible so that you can go back early.”
Tucker now felt that his head was a little insufficient.
“Is it Valerie’s brother who said that? Since he is so worried, why not just come and pick her up? Why does he still insist on completing all the tasks under high pressure? Isn’t that contradictory?”
The more he talked, the stranger it seemed. Even before, Tucker had felt that the Horton family wasn’t as good to Valerie as he had imagined.
It seems now that it was indeed the case.
Valerie grabbed Tucker’s hand and patted the back of it.
“It’s okay, Daddy. Don’t be angry.”
Valerie gently comforted Tucker and then turned to face David expressionlessly.
“David, could you please lend me your phone for a moment? I need to make a call back.”
David was a bit hesitant, but under Valerie’s urging, he reluctantly took out his phone and dialed Bruce’s number, placing it in her tiny palm.
Valerie turned on the speaker.
Because they were intercepted, there were no cameras or microphones for recording on this side, only the three of them.
The phone didn’t ring for long before it was quickly answered.
“What happened?”
The voice on the other end of the phone conveyed Bruce’s impatient tone.
“It was me.”
Valerie, who hadn’t heard the Horton family’s voices for a long time, visibly furrowed her brow.
But it was quickly calmed down.
Before Bruce could respond, Valerie continued speaking.
“David has already told me that you want me to go back early and complete the task within a few days. May I ask why?”
The tone of inquiry is like that of a telephone customer service representative.
It doesn’t sound right no matter how I listen to it.
Bruce suddenly stood up from his chair. Could he say that he felt a little jealous seeing her having fun with this group of people?
Of course not!
“You made such a big fuss about it; do you think there is any meaning for you to stay there? Come back quickly! Don’t embarrass yourself outside!”
Huo!
Tucker on the side widened his eyes and leaned forward, ready to retort.
Valerie quickly covered his mouth, signaling for her to finish speaking first.
“Bruce, the incident of being beaten at school, it’s not like I wanted it to spread. I have been very careful, carrying my phone and a portable camera with me. After the incident happened, I immediately live- streamed to clarify.”

“And I didn’t embarrass you either. This matter should be over and has nothing to do with the upcoming tasks, sir…”
“Valerie, you were able to appear on this variety show because of my connections. I want to replace you, and it can be done in a matter of minutes. Don’t be ungrateful. Tomorrow is the last day, so finish it quickly and come back! Otherwise, I will go to the set and personally drag you home!”
With the same disgusted tone as before, Bruce finished speaking and immediately hung up the phone.
If Bruce was making excuses for Valerie to go home earlier, now he really wants Valerie to come back quickly.
Did you defy him?
The bond between us was instantly destroyed when Valerie was beaten just now.
Look.
Everything was as Kieran had said.
Bruce was still so domineering toward Valerie.
