Tangled Webs of Braxton Chapter 5

After living under the same roof for a few days, the relationship between the four seemed to be calm, but in fact there was an undercurrent.

Tomorrow is Braxton Bai’s 18th birthday party, and also the day he will die.

After interacting with Zander Zhou and Fletcher Fu, Braxton Bai did not gain anything gratifying except a deeper understanding of their preferences and family backgrounds.

One of them comes from a scholarly family, and the other is a prince who has lived abroad for a long time and takes both black and white.

There is no weakness to exploit.

Speaking of Lennox Lu, the man who had been with her for ten years, he was perfect in both figure and appearance as well as in his behavior. There was not a single flaw or mistake to be found in him.

Even Braxton Bai, who knew him inside and out, was not sure.

Driven by interests, will Lennox Lu, a man with great cunning, show mercy to his subordinates because of their old friendship?

"well......"

Waking up early in the morning, Braxton Bai had to think about these troublesome things. He turned over, turned his back to the door, and continued to lie there.

Not wanting to face those three bad guys, Braxton Bai didn't even want to eat breakfast.

The warm morning sunlight shines through the glass windows, casting the mottled shadows of the trees in the courtyard onto the ground.

There was a small opening in the window to let in the air, and Braxton Bai could hear the rustling sound of the wind outside.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, someone outside suddenly turned the door lock with a key and walked in.

Braxton Bai opened his eyes keenly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The moment he turned around and sat up, he yawned lazily like a kitten that had just woken up.

"Hmm, brother Yi Han?" He hunched over and half-closed his eyelids, seemingly asleep.

"Did I wake you up? I'm sorry." Zander Zhou held the dinner plate in both hands and carefully put the breakfast on the bedside table.

"My aunt said you have the habit of drinking hot milk every morning. I was afraid it would get cold later, so I put it in hot water to warm it for you."

There is a glass of hot water on the dinner plate, and a carton of milk in it.

Zander Zhou sat next to the young man very naturally, and stroked his cheek with his slender fingers, "You are still growing, and you will not grow taller if you don't eat breakfast. Eat a few mouthfuls to fill your stomach first, and then catch up on your sleep, okay?" "

"But I have no appetite." Braxton Bai pretended to be wronged and pursed his lips, "I'm still very sleepy."

Their eyes met, and Braxton Bai couldn't detect any evil intentions from the man's sincere eyes, as if the other party truly cared about him.

But he firmly believed that Zander Zhou was not a good person, and he was very disgusted by this sudden concern.

Zander Zhou showed his courtesy to him because he must have wanted to use superficial skills to confuse him and establish a sanctimonious and good brother persona for himself.

Huh, he won't be fooled!

After all, the pervert was fully looking forward to sharing him with two other men at the coming-of-age ceremony party tomorrow night.

"If you are not hungry, then drink some milk. If you are fasting for a long time, your body will feel uncomfortable."

Zander Zhou took the box of milk out of the hot water, wiped the water off the outside, and then handed it to Braxton Bai.

With no choice, Bai Yi inserted the straw.

The first thing he did was suck directly on the hottest part at the bottom, which burned the tip of his tongue so much that it felt numb and painful.

"Hmm, it's so hot." After swallowing the milk, Braxton Bai didn't dare to drink any more. He stuck out his tongue slightly to dissipate the heat.

"Are you okay?" Zander Zhou looked at the boy nervously.

He has never served anyone before and doesn't pay much attention to many details.

When I hold the milk with my hands, I feel that the heat of the box is not very high. I didn't expect that it would burn people.

"I'm sorry, I was too negligent. Is your tongue seriously injured?" Zander Zhou held up the boy's face and wondered, "Didn't you test the temperature before drinking? Have you ever been burned before?"

Braxton Bai answered honestly, "Uncle Lu always prepared it before, and every time he gave it to me to drink, it was at the right temperature, and I didn't pay attention to these little things."

The subtext of these words seemed to be blaming Zander Zhou for being too rash and not as considerate as Lennox Lu.

"Really? He's so awesome. Could he have done everything perfectly in the past ten years?" Zander Zhou's words were filled with an inexplicable taste of jealousy and a desire to win.

After careful consideration, Braxton Bai nodded seriously.

"Uncle Lu took me with him to raise me when I was 20 years old. He has always taken good care of me and I rarely get sick."

This was not the answer Zander Zhou wanted to hear.

It was visible to the naked eye that the man's shrewd and cunning eyes dimmed, replaced by a hint of jealousy and dissatisfaction.

"Let me see your tongue. Is it burned?" He put his thumb into the boy's mouth and raised his chin.

Braxton Bai cooperated obediently, and the man's thumb rubbed her rosy tongue tip back and forth.

Because he was tilting his head back, Zander Zhou could easily see his slightly protruding Adam's apple rolling.

Unable to hold it any longer, Zander Zhou took a deep breath and tried to K!ss his neck.

Fortunately, Braxton Bai reacted quickly and quickly broke free and dodged, "Yi, Brother Yi Han, I'm very sleepy, please go out."

The little white rabbit was trembling all over, and Zander Zhou realized that he had lost control of his emotions again and scared people.

He stood up, held his forehead to sober himself up, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Ranran, I really like you so much that I can't control my behavior. I didn't mean to offend you, you won't blame me, right?"

Braxton Bai disliked his shamelessness and was unwilling to talk to him. He huddled up like a frightened little quail.

"Have a good rest, see you later." Zander Zhou left in a hurry.

Braxton Bai, who was originally curled up with his arms clasped and shivering, suddenly became indifferent.

He was even hesitating whether he should escape in advance.

If he took his ID and used it as an excuse to go out, and then got rid of the driver and bodyguards, what were his chances of escaping? And where should he hide?

He got out of bed barefoot, picked out a white shirt and trousers from the closet, walked to the dressing mirror and took off his pajamas.

At the same time, the image of Braxton Bai wearing a shirt naked was displayed clearly on Lennox Lu's office computer through four pinhole cameras in different positions.

Of course, the content also includes Zander Zhou's attempted forced K!ss two minutes ago.

After the boy changed his clothes and went out, Lennox Lu turned off the surveillance.

Clenching his right palm into a fist, Lennox Lu leaned back in his chair and murmured through clenched teeth.

"Zander Zhou...I have strictly controlled Ranran's contact with the outside world over the years, but I didn't expect that the brothers around him were so hard to guard against. He just met Ranran once by chance half a year ago, and he actually set his sights on him."

Lennox Lu was very troubled by this, "Tomorrow night is Ranran's birthday party. I have to find a suitable reason to stop them. No matter what, they must not hurt Ranran."

When the elders of the Bai family died one after another, the Zhou family, the Fu family, and other powerful families all hoped to swallow up the Bai family's foundation.

Although Lennox Lu came from a distinguished family, he was an illegitimate son and had an older brother with a legitimate status in his family.

Therefore, the probability of him inheriting the family business is very small, and at most he can get a sinecure.

It happened that the leaders of the Zhou and Fu families extended an olive branch to him, and their cooperation proposal was to let him start with the orphans of the Bai family.

Find a way to become the young master's nominal guardian and take over the Bai Group naturally.

The same goes for waiting until the right time to get rid of Bai.

By then, the huge Bai family will be an asset shared by the three of them.

Lennox Lu now regrets this idea of   sharing the same meal.

Braxton Bai was raised by him personally, so he should belong to him. No one could take him away from him, let alone share the ownership of Braxton Bai.

Night falls.

That night, the four people each had their own agenda and none of them slept well.
