Chapter 51 The Suppression of Dear Sister's Lineage
Shortly after, Britney hurried over.
She was originally helping Albert pick out clothes, but as soon as she heard about Isabella being bullied, she hurriedly rushed over.
"Ms. Beniere."
Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from behind. Isabella turned around and saw Britney.
"Mrs. Perry?"
Britney exclaimed in surprise, "It's really you! Just now I saw a figure that looked just like you from behind, and I thought I was mistaken. What happened?"
Isabella felt a bit embarrassed. "I had some minor disagreements with them."
Britney frowned upon hearing this, looking displeased at Susan and the others.
Only Susan knew Britney's identity, which scared her and sent a shiver down her spine.
The others didn't know Britney, even though she looked like a socialite. But because Susan had Douglas' support, they still shouted, "Are you the helper brought by this little jerk? Let me tell you, whoever comes to rescue her today won't make a difference. This little jerk is going to die today!"
Upon hearing these words, Susan trembled slightly, and she quickly grabbed her sister. "You don't have to say anything more."
"What are you afraid she will do? Even if she is a wealthy socialite, so what? I don't believe Douglas is afraid of anyone! You are Douglas's current girlfriend, you don't need to be afraid of them."
Britney heard those women mentioning her brother, she coldly stared at Susan, her eyes filled with mockery. "Are you Douglas's current girlfriend?" she asked.
The woman next to Susan immediately said, "Yes, are you scared now? Let me tell you, Susan of our family is Douglas' most cherished woman. She is Douglas' darling. You bullied her, now watch how Douglas deals with you! Get ready to cry!"
"Darling? Ha! I remember seeing his girlfriend yesterday morning, and this woman isn't her. She changed either yesterday afternoon or last night, right?" Britney scoffed.
The remark sounded a bit sarcastic, and the woman who had just spoken immediately said angrily, "Darn it, who are you mocking?! What does it have to do with you when the relationship was established? Susan is Douglas's girlfriend now!"
Lily frowned. "Say that again and see what happens!"
"I just want to curse, damn it."
Susan quickly stood up and covered the woman's mouth at the fastest speed, while smiling apologetically at Lily. "S-Sister…" she stammered.
"Who is your sister?! My mom only gave birth to me and Douglas, I don't have a sister! Don't try to get close to me. Let her go and let her run her mouth. She can scold me as much as she wants. Once she's done scolding, she won't need that tongue anymore!"
My mom only gave birth to me and Douglas?
The women were stunned.
Someone stuttered, "Su-Susan, what is she saying? She and Douglas..."
Susan blushed, bit her lip, grabbed her own clothes, looking very aggrieved, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Sis, I'm sorry, my friend didn't know your identity," Susan said.
"Don't call me sister. Who are you trying to disgust? Knowing my identity is one thing, but using your power to bully others at such a young age is another. You even want to abuse the power of my family, the Barnes family. The key is, if you want to be part of the Barnes family, you should ask whether the Barnes family is willing or not!" Britney snapped.
Lily was a bad person to provoke.
Susan led the group of women, to bow their heads as they trembled in fear. Susan's eyes were red-rimmed, and tears were on the verge of flowing out.
"Susan!"
Douglas hurried over.
At first glance, he rushed over after receiving a call from Susan because he was out of breath from running.
During the dating period, he was indeed a qualified boyfriend.
From a distance, it looked like Susan was being bullied, so Douglas furrowed his brow and walked over.
Susan quickly looked up and, feeling even more aggrieved, said, "Douglas."
Her lips quivered, and tears streamed down her cheeks, looking very aggrieved.
Douglas approached Susan with a serious expression, only to find...
He hadn't even reached Susan's side when he was stopped by Lily.
"Stop right there!" Britney commanded.
Douglas then realized that his older sister was also there. He was instantly surprised, but quickly managed to force out a smile.
"Britty, why are you here too?"
"You'd better explain to me first, what's the deal with this woman?"
Douglas admitted, "She was my girlfriend."
"Your girlfriend? Have you gone mad or donated your eyeballs?! You accept anyone and everyone! Are you collecting scrap metal?!"
"Um... Let's talk calmly. Why are you so angry? Getting angry can harm the body, so be careful not to age prematurely."
"Shut up! If Mom and Dad were here today, they would definitely be furious with you! The Barnes family is looking for a daughter-in-law, we don't care about family background, but good values and kindness are a must. Look at what you've found, what is this?" Britney said. "Even before becoming a member of the Barnes family, her friends and her are already cursing at me. If she were to become part of our family, wouldn't they just start attacking me?!"
She then continued, "I am not important. What matters is the reputation of the Barnes family. Now, they are using their power to bully others. In the future, when she becomes the daughter-in-law of the Barnes family, she will be even more unrestrained..."
"Don't talk nonsense, you are the most important one." Douglas tried to placate Britney.
"Don't tell me those insincere sweet words! You are no longer a child. I have always been advising you to find a wife and settle down, but you never listen. Instead, you always fool around with these questionable women! You are truly disappointing, really disappointing!"
Lily couldn't control her anger and immediately slapped Douglas twice.
Douglas felt so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear immediately, but he had to comfort Lily.
"At least give me some face, after all, I am your own younger brother."
"If you weren't my own little brother, I would have had someone throw you into the river to drown long ago!"
Douglas's mouth corners twitched uncontrollably. "Let's talk calmly. What exactly happened? Did Susan make you angry?"
Britney ignored him and turned to look at Isabella. "Ms. Beniere, can you tell us what happened? Don't be afraid of them, I'm here, you can speak up boldly," she urged.
Douglas also noticed Isabella at that moment. His eyes narrowed, and a spark of curiosity flashed at the corners of his eyes.
Then he greeted Isabella with a smile, saying, "Ms. Beniere, what a coincidence to see you here."
Isabella was suddenly taken aback.
She hadn't expected the women's backer to be him!
She didn't know Douglas, but she knew of him.
Last night at Wavecrest Restaurant, she accidentally walked into a private room to avoid Glen, and at that moment, he and that wild man were both there...
Upon realizing that he and Glen knew each other, Isabella immediately furrowed her brow, displaying clear displeasure towards Douglas.
Douglas noticed her reaction and innocently blinked, saying, "Ms. Beniere, please do not harbor such hostility towards me. While Susan is my girlfriend, I would never show favoritism towards her. Feel free to share your thoughts."
Britney saw her younger brother smiling at Isabella and scolded, "Go away. Stay away from Ms. Beniere, and stop flirting with every woman you meet. Ms. Beniere is not interested in you."
Douglas felt speechless.
In this world, there was only this one older sister who thought that her younger brother was not worthy of a married woman with children.
"Ms. Beniere, you go ahead," Lily said in support.
Isabella calmed herself, then recounted everything that had happened.
Lily said angrily, "She truly is someone who can't control herself, thinking she's so great."
After finishing speaking, she shouted loudly towards Douglas, "She used your power to bully others, and your tolerance is equivalent to being an accomplice! How do you plan to handle this? If you don't give Ms. Beniere an explanation today, I will kill you!"
