Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Is Mrs. Piers Looking Down on Me?

The Piers Group seemed calm on the surface, but internally it began undergoing a significant reshuffling. The whole group felt on edge.

And several small shareholders that Oliver Piers had reeled in seemed to pose a certain threat to Brandon Piers initially, but they also had their advantages.

Except for Mr.Reynolds, who had always leaned toward Brandon Piers, the other shareholders, especially those led by Maurice Moses, relied on their positions in the group. They abused their seniority, formed cliques, and secretly sought personal gain, hindering the company’s progress for their own benefit, among other things.

These were also some of the reasons why the reputation of the Piers had been declining in recent years.

Oliver Piers wasn’t blind to these issues, but being older, he inevitably was more conservative.

Yet, in order to secure the position of chairman, he privately used threats and inducements to bring several small shareholders’ shares into his pocket, promising them heavy responsibilities. Now that he suffered a crushing defeat, those small shareholders, except for the dismissed Maurice Moses, though still employed in the company, were like toothless tigers without shares, incapable of causing any more trouble.

Kelvin Max directly reported the tax issues of several people, and within two days, they were invited by the police for questioning.

Subsequently, related personnel were also taken away.

Upon hearing this, Oliver Piers was so angry that he almost went berserk. Unfortunately, being half-paralyzed, his speech was slurred, lying somberly on the hospital bed, his face no longer bearing the previous facade of charity, urging Daniel Piers to act quickly.

...

Moon Lake Manor.

Brandon Piers finally officially took over the Piers Group from the acting chairman position. The marks on her face had completely faded, and she finally decided to return to school.

"Does this outfit work?" Abigail, who hadn’t been to school for quite some time, was quite looking forward to it. She got up early for morning exercise and then dived into the walk-in closet.

After losing weight, all her old clothes no longer fit. The new clothes were sent over by Brandon Piers yesterday. Unlike before when her wardrobe had many restrictions due to her overweight, now Abigail had much more choice, which also made it harder to decide.

At the moment, she wore a Chanel T-shirt paired with light-colored jeans, her long, thick hair hanging loose, clipped on one side with a light yellow hairpin, making her face look even more tender and smaller. Her big eyes fluttered as she looked at Brandon Piers.

Brandon Piers regretted it after just one glance. "Do you really have to go to school?"

Abigail was taken aback. "Didn’t we agree that I should get my credits and graduate as soon as possible?"

Although with the Piers family’s wealth and status, she could get the certificate without attending, the more it was like this, the more Abigail felt she had to accomplish it herself.

It was not only because she had some feelings for the medical university but also because being part of the Piers family required extra caution in actions.

Abigail didn’t want her degree to be uncovered one day and become a black mark on herself and the Piers family.

"Oh." Brandon Piers looked into Abigail’s eyes, uttering a muffled "oh," then walked to her side. "Let me help you tie up your hair."

It was too beautiful when left loose, and he wasn’t at ease.

Abigail didn’t understand Brandon’s intention, but she also thought it wasn’t very convenient to leave it loose, so she nodded. "Do you know how? Let me do it myself."

But as soon as she said, Brandon paid no mind to her, tying up her hair himself. Although the process was a bit slow, Abigail thought it looked pretty good in the mirror, despite his somewhat resentful gaze making her find it amusing.

After finishing her hair, Abigail rubbed her head against Brandon’s chin. "You’re not the same as before."

Brandon was puzzled. "Hmm?"

"The old Master Brandon wasn’t this clingy." Abigail still remembered their first meeting after her rebirth when the man stepped over her leg.

As for later helping her, she knew it wasn’t out of kindness but upbringing.

"Hmm, the old Master Brandon didn’t love you." Brandon was dissatisfied. He didn’t think he had changed, but their relationship had.

Abigail’s eyes softened, smiling. This man was getting more and more unafraid of confessing to her.

As soon as she finished smiling, Brandon pinched her chin. "Is Mrs. Piers complaining about me?"

"How dare I?" Abigail stood on tiptoe to kiss Brandon, then exaggeratedly asked, "Can the clingy Mr. Piers let Mrs. Piers go to school now?"

"Don’t want to."

Abigail found it funny while feeling sweet inside, seeing the man putting on a pathetic look with a face of prosperous beauty. "Then what do you want?"

"I want to lock you up so no other men can see you." Brandon responded readily.

Abigail made a fearful face, waving at Brandon, but he pulled her back, held her head, and kissed her deeply again. Only when Abigail had difficulty breathing did he release her and said hoarsely, "Let’s go, I’ll take you."

Abigail, her legs weak from the kiss, had no strength to resist, so she was brought to the car by Brandon.

Upon arriving at the medical university, Brandon watched Abigail get out and enter the youthful campus, feeling regretful again.

Until Pullan couldn’t help reminding him, "Master Brandon, you should go to the company now."

"Oh." Brandon responded absent-mindedly. He had planned to arrange Pullan at the medical university to protect Abigail, but she found him too conspicuous, which could lead to unnecessary trouble.

Since the last incident, Sophie Hope had been excluded by him.

But leaving Abigail at school like this made Brandon very uneasy. He finally revamped the security system at the medical university, placing his men within the school.

Only to ensure Abigail’s safety.

Even so, Brandon was still worried, wishing to keep Abigail tied to him 24/7. But he knew that if he really did that, it would be the moment Abigail left him.

Watching Abigail’s figure completely disappear, Brandon sighed, instructing Pullan to drive, then dialed Kennan Max. "Haven’t found him yet?"

"No." Kennan’s voice was heavy. "Master Brandon, I suspect Johnson is in Swallow City. I will continue to enhance the protective measures for the lady, but Ruby Green is still in the mental hospital. He may not dare to harm the lady."

"Hmm." Brandon nodded but still felt uneasy. "Have people check the medical university once more."

"Yes." Kennan responded.

Brandon ended the call, opening the message to see a half-faced selfie from Abigail. "Arrived safely. Please rest assured, Mr. Piers."

Ha!

It was Brandon’s first time seeing Abigail’s selfie, and his heavy mood brightened instantly. "The other half? Want to see it too."

Abigail saw the message, smirking mischievously. "No."

"Feeling uncomfortable." Brandon stared at the half-face, sure that this woman did it on purpose.

Abigail knew this would happen. With a smile on her lips, just as she was about to take another photo to tease him, a familiar voice came from behind. "Abby, is that you?"

Midway through raising her phone, Abigail paused, slowly turning around. There, in the backlight, stood the meticulously dressed Benjamin Jones.

She knew this day would come ever since she reported Benjamin’s room number at the Waldorf.
