Reincarnated As the Enemy's Wife: Married the Rival, Bound by Revenge-Chapter 230: A Stern Big Brother

Another one-sided dispute started in the comment area.

This time around, to nobody’s surprise, most remarks were against the former intern nurse.

Trembling all over, the nurse blacklisted a couple of netizens sending her insulting remarks privately.

Then she furiously began to hurl abuse at the netizens criticizing her, but soon she found that more and more people were cursing her, and that she was unable to blacklist or reply to them all.

"Oh, my god, do you know who you’ve pissed off?" her bestie sitting beside her exclaimed.

"Who is it?"

"It’s Zachary Leinster and his wife, Yvonne Taylor."

The former nurse jerkily swiveled her head aside to look at the cosmetic products piled on her table, all of which bore the brand name "Shining".

Suddenly, she felt her cheeks ache again.

It had been five years, and Yvonne had completely taken over Shining Cosmetics Group. Also, she had launched a series of cosmetic products pitched at users preferring western style make-up, all of which were now world-famous.

The nurse suddenly grabbed one of the cosmetic products and raised it with the intention to hurl it to the floor.

But her hand paused in mid-air. She didn’t have the heart to smash it. After all, it had taken her a whole month to swindle enough money to buy this thing.

She glanced at her Twitter account again and found that it had received many new private messages.

She picked up her phone again to reply to the netizens cursing her, but she had just typed the first line when she found her account banned!

...

Lord Villa.

At night, the swimming pool was giving off a blue shimmer. The atmosphere in the splendid mansion was still relaxed, seemingly unaffected by the online argument.

"How’s that nurse?" Yvonne asked Zachary, having washed, sitting on the bed.

"She attempted to destroy you by starting rumors, so she’s bound to suffer the blowback. Anyway, the netizens have discerning eyes, and they’ve found out about the truth now. That hospital has raised its standards for intern nurses. As for the nurse, her Twitter account has been banned.

"Almost... Although she’s just graduated, this kind of behavior is really annoying."

Yvonne strained her ears and listened for a while before she asked surprisedly, "Why are they so quiet today? Usually, the three little rascals are unbearably noisy at this hour."

"There’s no need to worry about them." A deep, forbidding voice suddenly came from a spot very close to her, almost beside her ear.

Yvonne was startled. It was only then that she found that Zachary had sneaked up on her.

Yvonne, "... "

It had been five years.

During the five years, the two of them had developed some kind of tacit, husband-wife understanding.

Every time Zachary had this expression on his face, Yvonne knew what he wanted to do.

"We should do something on such a beautiful night, don’t you think?" Zachary’s voice made Yvonne’s ear itchy.

"You... " Before Yvonne could finish her sentence, Zachary roughly blocked her mouth with his.

...

In the living room.

Daniel was standing in front of the three boys, his face serious, his stern eyes sweeping across the boys’ faces again and again. None of the unruly boys dared make a sound.

"I know everything you guys did in the hospital earlier today," Daniel said.

Daniel was three or four years older than them, but he was already a head taller than them, and he looked like their elder brother.

In front of their big brother, the three boys stood there with their heads down, not daring utter a word.

"Daniel, we know we shouldn’t have acted impulsively. It’s our fault. Mom nearly got hurt because of our mistake, and Dad’s hand is wounded." Tommy, the smartest one, admitted to his mistakes on his own initiative.

He knew that their elder brother could be very scary when being stern.

"First of all, I want to emphasize that I don’t object to you guys helping people out.

"But ensuring your own safety should be a precondition of helping others."

"Yes, yes, Daniel’s right... " Andy immediately echoed.

But Daniel shot Andy a stern glance and the latter instantly flinched, not daring say

another word.

"This time, although you guys protected the doctor and the nurses, you nearly put yourselves in danger, and eventually our parents paid the price for your reckless actions. That’s not what we, their children, should do."

...

All three boys bowed their heads. Andy even looked on the verge of tears. Their big brother Daniel had never scolded them like this before, not that they could remember.

Jimmy suddenly took a step forward and said, "Daniel, I was the first to take action! I’m the one to blame!"

Daniel wanted to say something else to lecture him.

But then he noticed the look of righteous indignation on Jimmy’s face and dropped the idea of dressing him down. Instead, he said in a grave and sincere tone,

"I know that you’ve practiced martial arts, and you wanna fight every bad guy you see, but you need to protect yourself."

With that Daniel paced the floor for a few moments with the air of a refined gentleman.

After thinking for a while, he continued to lecture the boys. "If you are positive you will not get yourself or your younger brothers or our parents hurt, then you may do it.

"But earlier this day, you were faced with an adult, one with a knife. You shouldn’t have lunged at him like that. You should at least wait until Dad went upstairs and tell him about it."

"I get it, Daniel!" Jim said in deadly earnest. "I will try my best to learn from my mentor so that no one can beat me!"

Daniel’s cold face twitched and he stool still for a few seconds.

Then he turned to face Andy and Tommy and his tone became serious again.

"Who led the other two out of the elevator leaving Mom behind in the hospital?" Daniel asked.

Andy and Tommy looked left and right, their faces faintly blushed.

Beneath their elder brother’s serious gaze, the two of them hesitated for a long moment before Tommy stepped out and said, "It was me... "

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Andy cry out.

The other two boys looked at Andy, at a loss as to what to do. Even Angela, who had been upstairs all along, came to the stairs in pajamas and looked at the four brothers.

Staring at the weeping Andy, Daniel finally squatted down to look him in the eye and asked, "Andy, why are you crying?"

Andy sobbed in fear, "It was me... I told Jimmy and Tommy to go out... That was why Jimmy rushed in... and hit that bad... bad guy."

Daniel did not reply to Andy. He just continued to look him in the eye.

Still weeping, Andy said thickly, "I didn’t know that man was that... that... that dangerous.

"And... and Dad... bled because of me... "

Andy was weeping in deep regret. Suddenly, a hand rested on his cheek.

Andy stopped crying and stared blankly in front of him. He found Daniel, who had been staring at him coldly a moment ago, wiping tears from his cheeks with his fingers.

"Daniel... Daniel... you’re not gonna scold me?" Andy asked confusedly, his eyes swimming with tears.

"Andy is very honest. Mom and Dad said honesty is a good quality. As a result, since Andy is brave enough to admit his mistakes, he doesn’t have to be punished." Daniel remained serious, but his tone was gentle.

At that moment, Angela came downstairs and pulled out some tissues to wipe tears off Andy’s face.

After wiping off the tears, Angela, as their big sister, put her arms around Jimmy’s and Tommy’s heads to draw them closer to her and offered them some words of comfort in a low voice.

Daniel the big brother patted Andy on the shoulder while looking at him with determined eyes, quietly waiting for Andy to calm down.

...

In the master bedroom.

In the room of Zachary and Yvonne.

The two of them were looking at a monitor displaying live footage of what was happening in the living room.

A few minutes ago, when Yvonne and Zachary had been about to make out, Andy’s crying had come from downstairs.

The two of them had been bewildered. Yvonne was just about to go downstairs to check on them when Zachary gestured for her to turn on the monitor.

They had seen clearly how Daniel had lectured the three boys, and heard what Jimmy had said, how Tommy had stuck up for his brothers, as well as how Tommy had admitted his mistakes.

At this moment, the monitor showed the image of five children, two elder ones and three younger ones. The five unsophisticated children were soothing each other.

The four children took turns to offer Andy words of comfort.

Andy had calmed down. After hearing his siblings’ comforting words, he felt both ashamed and warm.

"Humph, I won’t talk to you guys anymore!" Andy stomped upstairs.

Watching the sweet scene of the five children comforting each other, Yvonne rested her head on Zachary’s shoulder, happiness etched all over her face.

"It’s so sweet," Yvonne sighed.

"It’s indeed very good, but there is a downside to it." Zachary’s cold voice went into Yvonne’s ears.

"What do you mean, there’s a downside?!" Yvonne was somewhat angry, believing that her husband was being unduly demanding with their children. "They’re still so young. I think they’ve exceeded our expectations."

"I mean, the only downside to it is... " Zachary edged his thick chest closer to Yvonne, his warm breath enfolding her ear as he spoke.

"The only downside to it is... Why did you stop?"

Zachary was wearing a warm dark nightgown, and his warm breath lingering at her ear was extremely titillating.

Before Yvonne could react, she lost her balance. She let out an exclamation, but it was soon drowned out by Zachary’s love for her...
