Chapter 136: Chapter 136

The Burles family came here to expand the market and develop new business. If Esie Burles does anything too outrageous, it would not be favorable to him.

Freya lowered her eyes, speaking like she was completing a task: "Father wants Huafeng Technology’s Rest Pod technology."

"Behind Yu Man, there’s not only the Reed family but also the Guan family."

So, Yu Man’s family is not one that Esie Burles can easily deal with.

In fact, it’s fair to say that Esie Burles not only can’t deal with Yu Man’s family but also needs to be friendly with them.

"This is Flower Country. If you do anything, Father won’t be able to protect you."

Esie Burles’ father emerged victorious from fierce competition among his brothers and holds absolute control in the Burles family.

And Esie Burles is his only biological son, so naturally, he favors his son most, giving Esie Burles the best resources.

At the same time, the Burles family places the least importance on so-called family affection.

If Esie Burles does anything disgraceful to the Burles family in Flower Country, he could easily be discarded by his father, replacing him with a nephew as the heir, which is just a trivial matter for him.

Esie Burles looked at Freya with a half-smile, "Do I still need you to remind me?"

"Am I such a foolish person?"

Foolish people can’t survive in the Burles family.

You must be more ruthless than anyone to have a chance to survive.

Would he need to personally take action?

"Do you think carrying the title of wife means you can really command me?"

"Or are you thinking of siding with someone else?" Esie looked into Freya’s eyes intensely, "Is it Jenkins?"

Freya lowered her gaze, "No... I’m yours."

"It better be this way!" Esie warned as he glanced at Freya, speaking slowly, "You know the fate of those who betray me."

Freya thought of that lump of flesh, her fingertips trembled slightly, suppressing a wave of nausea, she spoke gently: "I wouldn’t dare..."

"I just meant to say, Jenkins came with you."

Jenkins is Esie’s elder brother and also Freya’s second beast husband, making him Esie’s biggest competitor.

If both of them aim to acquire the Rest Pod technology, looking at the current situation, Esie Burles is actually at a disadvantage.

Of course, this is also a test from Esie’s father for him.

If he can manage it, then his status as an heir is pretty much confirmed.

"Jenkins..." Esie sneered.

The wound on his chest back then was Jenkins’ handiwork, wasn’t it?

Bring it on, would he be afraid?

Esie’s eyes flashed with a hint of madness, "It’s been a long time since I’ve played such an exciting game."

Freya sat on the chair in a daze, her eyes numb.

In Esie’s eyes, everything was a game.

And she, too, was a toy for Esie... no, for the entire Burles family.

Esie restrained the madness in his eyes, straightened his clothes, put on a warm smile, and returned to a cultured appearance.

"Alright, I’ve greeted the ’old friend’, let’s go."

At this moment, a voice reached Esie’s ears.

Esie turned around and unintentionally met Mu Zhi’s eyes.

Mu Zhi looked at the Beast Husband Dean in annoyance, walking while holding her belly.

In the late stages of pregnancy, she needed to move more. It wasn’t her first time being a mother; didn’t she know to be careful?

Dean had a faint headache, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

He didn’t know what was wrong lately; he’d been getting more headaches, often losing himself in thoughts, even feeling an urge to wreak havoc.

He suspected that the stress from losing his job was too great and maybe he was having issues... but he must hold it in, or his wife would surely despise him!

After Mu Zhi suddenly locked eyes with Esie, she felt a strange sensation, but it was fleeting.

Esie curled his lips into a slight smile, nodded towards Mu Zhi, and got into the car.

Freya didn’t understand but quickly followed, sitting beside Esie.

Then, Freya heard Esie speak with interest...

"Never thought I’d encounter such an interesting little thing again, haha."

Freya felt a chill down her spine, Esie smiling like that wasn’t a good sign.

Interesting... little thing?

Freya thought of the recently pregnant female.

She grit her teeth, "You... don’t mess around." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novèlfire.net

Esie, as if not hearing her, simply ordered the driver, "Look into that female just now."

Freya pressed her lips together, did Esie really take a liking to that female? Besides being pregnant, she couldn’t guess what interest Esie had in that female.

After all... Esie had a track record.

Freya exuded a faint aura of death...

"Yes, young master Esie."

The car drove away...

Mu Zhi slowly came back to herself, that male Beastman inexplicably made her feel a liking.

Even more favorable than Garrett.

Seeing Mu Zhi staring at the car that has already left, Dean felt an even stronger urge to destroy everything!

After Yu Man arrived at the Lu Cheng family, Manman happily ran off to play.

Lu Cheng watched Manman leave and quietly pulled Yu Man over, whispering: "That person just now... seemed like Esie Burles?"

Yu Man looked sideways, "You know him?"

Lu Cheng frowned, "I’ve seen him..."

When she was the Sea Territory Lord, she had seen Esie Burles.

"Their whole family is sick, and he’s... even more seriously ill!"

Lu Cheng’s former sea territory wasn’t far from the Burles family, so they’d hear more gossip about their family.

"Mrs. Burles..." A trace of sympathy flashed in Lu Cheng’s eyes.

Despite the higher status of females now, Lu Cheng had only seen one who lived so miserably.

"Though I’ve only seen her once, she gave me the feeling of a... walking corpse."

Mrs. Burles’ eyes were devoid of light, as if her soul had already left her body, which was also frighteningly thin.

"Their family is quite pathological, the brothers in the family all marry the same wife, and the children Mrs. Burles gives birth to are constantly fighting for the same position."

Her Beast Husbands fought until death, and her children repeated the cycle.

"In my first year in that sea territory, I heard that Mrs. Burles had committed suicide."

Lu Cheng also heard that the lady couldn’t withstand the immense pressure early on and had long shown signs of depression and suicidal tendencies. It’s not that she could endure for so many years, but she never had the opportunity to act.

Lu Cheng had attended a banquet, and there she saw Mrs. Burles.

She just sat quietly to the side, with at least three or four people watching her, ready to react to any movement.

"And also..." Lu Cheng whispered to Yu Man, "That Esie Burles, don’t be fooled by his well-dressed appearance. He’s actually a beast!"
