Chapter 208: Chapter 208: The Stain on Brandon Piers’ Life
With the Piers family’s avalanche of lawyer letters online, the public attention gradually died down.
But the discussion about the Piers engagement in upper society had not ended.
Brandon Piers could use lawyer letters to silence those who insulted Abigail Green, but he could not stop people from gossiping privately.
“A fat person and a sickly person” was probably the most essential comment on this engagement.
Although Abigail Green had an outstanding temperament at the engagement party, her previous inappropriate attire and makeup during the live broadcast, coupled with her embarrassing state while tearing up, gave the public a preconceived notion that she was fat, ugly, and vicious.
On the other hand, despite Brandon Piers being handsome, he was too handsome, and sitting in a wheelchair, covering himself with a thin blanket in the summer, created an impression of a fragile yandere beauty.
Such a pairing, if not for witnessing their engagement party, no one would associate them together.
But they appeared in front of the public via a live broadcast.
If Brandon Piers were just an ordinary handsome man, marrying a fat woman would only be ridiculed secretly by friends and family. But he happened to be the most honorable second young master of the Piers enterprise, the heir to the Piers family’s patriarch, and owner of forty percent of the Piers shares. Even with poor health, he did not need to settle for a fat woman, right?
Although Brandon Piers publicly stated that Abigail Green’s obesity was due to postpartum weight gain, which wealthy family’s wife does not have children? Yet no one’s seen any other family deal with someone as fat as Abigail.
On the contrary, every wealthy family’s wife seemed to recover as if they had never given birth.
But Abigail Green?
To get this fat, she probably wasn’t slim before pregnancy either. So what kind of taste did the second young master of the Piers have?
Could he really be a reincarnated tang writer, finding beauty in obesity?
In short, the engagement of Brandon Piers and Abigail Green had almost become a big joke within their circle.
Many noble young masters were curious about what was so special about a fat woman, intentionally ordering a few chubby girls at nightclubs only to find them unbearable and dismiss them, then went around joking that Brandon Piers loved eating pork.
Especially Adam Piers.
When the Pierses visited the hospital to see Brandon Piers, they were immediately dismissed by the patriarch.
An agitated Adam Piers mocked Brandon Piers whenever he could.
The second branch of the Piers family had a son and a daughter, Adam Piers and Amelia Piers.
Among them, Amelia Piers worked at the Piers enterprise but did not attend the wedding banquet due to a business trip. Adam Piers, a classic dandy, seldom went to work despite holding a position at the company but was favored by Mason Piers as the second branch’s only son.
The third branch of the Piers family had two sons and a daughter, Daniel Piers, William Piers, and Ella Piers.
The most steady one in the third branch was Daniel Piers. Besides Brandon Piers, he held the highest position in the company among the younger generation and was seen as the most promising heir to the Piers enterprise. He was on a business trip abroad during Brandon’s engagement.
William Piers and Ella Piers were fraternal twins. One loved e-sports, and the other loved playing the cello. The only commonality was they both frequently participated in competitions.
They were the most idle yet busiest members of the Piers family.
As for Samuel Piers and Joshua Piers from the main branch, one was sent to prison by Brandon Piers and his uncle, and the other, disabled, resided in France.
With the main branch’s preceding cautionary tale, the remaining two branches of the Piers family hated Brandon Piers to the core but dared not act rashly. If it weren’t for Brandon Piers leaving Swallow City for Gills City to have surgery, they would have had no opportunities to strike.
However, several confrontations not only failed to kill Brandon Piers but also cost them many men, especially Oliver Piers. Thompson Taylor’s arrest resulted in a huge loss to him.
Mason Piers did not fare any better. After trying to stop the patriarch and being rebuked, he also lost power.
What was worse was seeing Brandon Piers, supposedly on the brink of death, staying alive, without missing any limbs, and even having a son and getting engaged.
They could only mock his choice of wife.
Abigail Green probably never imagined she would become the biggest stigma in Brandon Piers’s life.
