Chapter 589

"The exam is this year. Oh, I forgot that you don't have to take it. Just think of it as passing time, then. You have nothing to do anyway." "It's too simple. There's nothing fun about this." Brandon grabbed his phone and saw countless messages, too many for him to reply to all. "Do you want to go outside? You come home every day after school to read or do homework. Aren't you bored of being the teacher's pet?" Mayra did a question wrong and erased the answer before pausing. "I'm not like you. I can't do as I please. If you're bored, you can go outside instead of staring at me all the time like I'm a prisoner." Over a dozen people were urging Brandon to have fun outside through his phone. "Brandon, come out! It's been so long. Have you really quit drinking?" "We invited a few chicks from an art school. They major in the piano, and we're all here waiting for you." "Seriously? Is your girlfriend so controlling that she won't let you out of the door? It's my treat tonight, and there's a great show tonight. Come now!" "There'll be a fight tonight, and we can't be without you, Brandon!" "I'm going out," Brandon replied to one of the messages and stood, grabbing the keys to his motorcycle. Mayra didn't bother to ask where he was going, so he stormed out without hesitation. Just then, a maid came inside with freshly made desserts. "Mr. Brandon, where are you going?" Brandon ignored her and left without looking back. The maid instantly knew what he was leaving to do. "Ms. Sadler, Mrs. Sawyer had me send dessert over to you." Mayra noticed Brandon was gone and put her books away in her bag. "Thank you. Just put it aside for now." "Ms. Sadler, it looks like Mr. Brandon is going out to fight again. Aren't you going to stop him?" "Fight? Why does he enjoy fighting so much? Doesn't he have any better things to do?" "After Mr. Brandon was born, he lived with Mr. Sawyer and went for a long time without seeing Mrs. Sawyer. But Mr. Sawyer didn't really care for him and would only punish him by beating him whenever he did something wrong. "After a while, Mr. Brandon's temper had a sudden change, and he became extremely violent. "He even fought Mr. Sawyer a few times and sent Mr. Sawyer to the hospital. When Mr. Brandon turned 15, Mr. Sawyer left the duty of educating Mr. Brandon to Mrs. Sawyer. Unfortunately, Mr. Brandon is out of control, and Mrs. Sawyer is at her wit's end." "Don't Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer live together?" "They have always lived separately." "Separately? Do they even count as a married couple, then?" Mayra wondered aloud. "You're mistaken, Ms. Sadler. Mr. Sawyer is in meetings all the time and rarely has time to come home." Mayra nodded with realization. It was no wonder that Brandon seemed so out of control. He was not disciplined, and since Gregory was powerful in Belchester City, he was under his father's protection no matter what trouble he caused. Mayra had already witnessed the Sawyer family's power at the police station the previous time. "Don't worry, it'll be fine. He has been following me lately. He probably grew bored of it and headed outside for some fun."
