Chapter 3 The Bullshit Heir

When Layton and Brian walked out of the presidential suite, they ran into Kylie Ke in the hallway.

Layton quickly jumped behind Brian and whispered to his friend in a low voice, "Hurry up, cover me."

"Are you serious? I'm pretty sure that Kylie can spot your appearance within three hundred meters. Even if I cover you, her gaze can penetrate through me. You should see for yourself if you don't believe me." As he spoke, Brian raised his hand to greet Kylie Ke. She had already been staring at them for a while.

Layton awkwardly coughed and emerged behind Brian. He gave Kylie Ke a perfunctory smile. Even if he greeted her, his smile looked uglier than when he cried.

"Wait for me in the conference room. I'll be back for the afternoon meeting." Kylie Ke handed over some documents to her assistant standing beside her. She then walked up to Layton and Brian with a bright smile. Knowing that Layton would be embarrassed, Kylie Ke decided to fix her attention on Brian and said, "You were drunk when you came to the hotel last night. Are you satisfied with the room I booked for you?"

Brian was impressed at Kylie Ke's ability to fill the awkward silence. He cleared his throat and calmly replied, "Miss Kylie, of course the presidential suite of the Gorgeous Hotel is perfect. I have something else to do, so I have to go now. Perhaps we should drink together next time."

"Okay." Kylie Ke nodded her head with a small chuckle.

Layton immediately tugged at the sleeve of Brian beside him. "Then what... Aren't you in a hurry?" He slowly glanced at Kylie Ke and politely informed her, "We're leaving now. See you later."

After running away, Brian began to gloat in the car.

"It has already been ten years, but you still run away whenever you see her. I think you two are a good match. Why don't you just give in? Every time I see the infatuated look on her face, I feel that you are not a good man."

Layton didn't even bother to look at him while he was driving. He silently gnashed his teeth and frowned. "If only you didn't go to that hotel every time when you got drunk, then I would never have to step into her hotel."

In fact, Kylie Ke was not Layton's real girlfriend. He came to the hotel not because he was afraid of being caught. Kylie Ke had chased him for almost ten years. As a master of love affairs, Layton never refused a beautiful woman, except for Kylie. She was the daughter of the chairman of the Gorgeous Hotel. Everyone called her Miss Kylie. Since she and Layton were from the same background, if Layton agreed, then their families would not oppose their relationship.

Layton knew her before he knew Brian. He didn't hate her, but his feelings for her were very complicated. He didn't want to accept it or hurt her. He couldn't promise to be with her. According to Layton's romantic personality, he was bound to hurt Kylie.

When Brian got out of the car, Layton rolled down the window and said, "If you are still alive after this, call me. My friend's bar is hosting a party tonight. Let's go together."

With his back facing Layton, Brian made an OK gesture and immediately walked inside the building of the Bian Group.

"Brian! How long do you want to play? Something in the company was stolen, but you couldn't be contacted! I've told you many times that you should learn to work in here. When did you ever take my words seriously?" Sitting behind his desk in the corner of the room, Theodore furiously scolded his useless son.

"Dad, I'm very busy. If you want to catch the thief, then you should call the police. I majored in international finance. I didn't attend the police academy. I go to school during the day and attend various social activities in the evening. Your son is very busy, alright? Also, stop bothering Layton with such personal things that don't even concern him. Remember, he's the successor of the Li family." Brian rolled his eyes impatiently and leaned against the sofa. He placed his hands on the edge of the furniture.

"Don't tell me that! Think about your brother's problems! The only person I can count on is you! You should learn to work in the company when you don't have classes!" Theodore ordered.

The calm expression on Brain's faced changed instantly, as if he was a cat whose owner stepped on its tail. "Don't speak ill of my brother in front of me! He is your heir. You should spend more time on my brother than wasting your time on me! Or you can have a baby with that superstar. It's a popular trend nowadays for young women to get pregnant with an old man."

"You!" Theodore was so angry that he stood up from his chair at once. He wished he could rush over and slap his bastard son.

Of course, Brian knew how dangerous it was when his father became angry. With an evil smile, he picked up his coat beside the sofa and quickly rushed out of his father's office. "I'm going to class. I won't come back this week."

After the door closed behind him, Theodore helplessly sank in his chair and groaned.

'Alas, what did I do wrong in my previous life? Why would God punish me this way?' His eldest son was a depressed patient in a clinic and wanted to commit suicide. On the other hand, his younger son was a cynical playboy. Neither of his children were suitable to inherit the growing family business.

On top of his desk were the results of Brian's financial exams for the semester. They were horrible. He forced him to go to the school, but this turned out to be the results.

There were also a large pile of documents on his desk that were waiting for his approval. Theodore couldn't find anyone he trusted completely among his subordinates, and both of his sons offered no help. The Bian Group was the result he had worked hard for almost half of his life. However, he didn't knew who he should hand over its future to.
