Chapter 73
Ashley’s pov
“No! I didn’t touch it!” I knelt down in front of Gloria and said pitifully, “it was you who pushed me to the champagne tower. When it collapsed, the champagne might splash on your clothes, but I was also hurt by the glass shards. Please have a look…”
“You are nothing compared to my daughter-in-law.” Unexpectedly, instead of giving me a look, she responded coldly.
I choked and slapped myself hard on the face as I spoke. “Since you that my identity is not as good as a dress, then I apologize, okay? I shouldn’t have lost my balance when my sister pushed me, and I shouldn’t have failed to protect my clothes when the champagne splashed on her clothes. It’s all my fault. Please don’t make things difficult for Emos!”.
“Ashley, Ashley, what are you doing?” Emos stopped him in a hurry.
I raised my tearful eyes, “Gloria, I’ve slapped myself ten times as compensation. Can you forgive us? Don’t pursue this matter anymore?”
The people present began to discuss.
I thought she would give each other face. Unexpectedly, Gloria didn’t. Instead, she sneered coldly, “ten slaps are worth four hundred and thirty-eight million? You really think highly of yourself! In my opinion, one hundred slaps , it can’t be less! It’s up to you!”
The sudden words made me stunned and stay where I was.
Emos’s pov
I can’t stand it anymore. “Gloria, it’s will make the guests mistake you for bullying others with your power. Don’t you care about your reputation?”
“I’m just taking advantage of the power to bully people. What’s wrong? I just rely on the big business of the Lion family. If you have the ability, you can bully me as well. I have to remind you that today I’m going to let you go, and your Nash group can still continue to run. If I’m not happy, you all get out of the city! Don’t want to have a foothold in this city!”
Is Goloria serious?
I clenched my fists and loosened them dejectedly. At this time, I really don’t have the ability to compete with the Lion family!
In order to protect the family group, to get the billions of assets of the Swift family, and to avoid the compensation for this sky high price dress
I took a deep breath and slowly knelt down, as if I was playing a slow movie. First, I knelt down on one knee, and then on the other. I said in a cold voice, “I’ll pay you back one hundred slaps!”
In the scream of the crowd, my slap has been thrown hard on my face, PAH, PAH, PAH
The crisp sound echoed in the air
Trista’s pov
It could be seen that Emos was fighting with all her strength, and soon the corner of her mouth was bleeding.
Ashley cried hysterically. “Emos, Emos, stop it! Waah… It’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have lost my balance! I shouldn’t have let the champagne splash on my sister’s clothes… Waah… Waah… It’s all my fault… Don’t hit yourself anymore!”
The guests present couldn’t bear it. Although they didn’t dare to stand out, they had been whispering.
“Emos… Emos, your face is swollen… Waah… The corners of your mouth are bleeding…” Ashley began to act. When she heard the whispers of the guests, she cried even more loudly. “Emos! These one hundred slaps! I’ll pay them back with you!”
She suddenly slapped herself across the face one after another
All the guests sighed
“Miss Ashley is so kind-hearted. It’s a pity that she was bullied like this…”
“Is their love true? They share happiness and difficulties at the same time… How envious!”
“Speaking of which, it’s all Miss Trista’s fault. They came here to mess with my sister’s wedding party. Now seeing that my sister’s brother-in-law has been punished, they still don’t plead for mercy. They are deliberately trying to kill them!”
“I think Miss Trista is also very pitiful. Think about it. The man who has been with her for many years has married her sister. Her sister even pretended to fall down the stairs to pretend miscarriage. In fact , her sister did not miscarry at all. In my opinion, it is all her fault. I always feel that she is a troublemaker!”
“I think the Mrs. Lion has gone too far. With the power and influence of the Lion family, she is lawless…”
“Don’t say that. Be careful not to be heard, or you will be in trouble!”
……
I can’t stand it anymore. When I was about to step forward, Donald held me by the waist. “What? Are you softhearted?”
“They have received their deserved punishment. That’s enough. Donald, I don’t want to pursue this matter anymore!”
“It’s mom who wants to pursue.” Donald hugged me tightly and said, “they didn’t bully you, but the Lion family. Of course I have to punish them as a warning to everyone!”
“But…”
“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
……
While we were talking, two figures rushed over. It turned out Emos’s father Uriah and mother Aviva.
Aviva’s pov
As soon as I arrived, I saw Emos and Ashley kneeling on the ground and slapping themselves, while Gloria stood in front of them with a cold face.
“What’s wrong, Mrs. Lion? Why are you here?” I didn’t expect that things would turn out like this.
I just go to the hall downstairs to tell the guests about the accommodation and prepare the gifts for the guests after the wedding. As soon as I came back from my work, I heard that Ashley’s parents were taken away by the police. The wedding scene was in a mess. The champagne tower fell to the ground, and Emos and Ashley were still kneeling on the ground and slapping each other.
Uriah’s pov
“Did my son offend you? Or was my daughter-in-law annoying you? Gloria, why are you so angry?” I really want to know the truth now. I want to help my son and daughter-in-law embarrass themselves in front of everyone, but I dare not. I can only be anxious.
“The Nash family is really talented. You are getting more and more capable! How dare you ignore us!” Tired of standing, Gloria waved at Ira behind her, “bring me a chair.”
“What do you mean by that? I wonder what my daughter-in-law has done wrong to make you so angry?” I asked anxiously.
“There is no need for the Nash group to stay in City A,” She said calmly.
I asked Emos in a hurry, “what the hell did you do? Tell me!”
“Dad, no matter what happened to Emos, it’s all my fault! When my sister pushed me to the champagne tower just now, I didn’t dodge in time, and the collapsed champagne splashed on my sister’s clothes! Gloria wants us to compensate, and we really can’t afford it! We have already slapped one hundred and ten times to apologize, but Gloria is still angry… Dad, please teach me what to do to make Gloria calm down!”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Wait, what does your sister Trista have to do with Gloria?”?
“My sister is the daughter-in-law of Gloria and the wife of Mr. Donald. We didn’t know about it until today!”
“What?” I looked over and found that Trista’s waist was held by Donald!
Aviva’s pov
But just in a short time, Trista turned into the wife of Donald!? How is that possible? And look at her dress today, noble, elegant, arrogant and cool, not as delicate as usual! She was just like a daughter-in-law of a rich family!
Back then, Uriah and I denied the relationship between Trista and our son, and tried our best to make Ashley and our son be together. We didn’t expect that this woman who was abandoned by us would fly into the upper class! She became the daughter-in-law of the Lion family!
“Gloria, it doesn’t seem to be my daughter-in-law’s fault.” Judging from what had happened just now, it was Trista who was wrong! But I don’t dare to blame Trista now. After all, she has changed her identity. She is Donald’s wife!
“I’m here today to settle accounts with you!”
Did she mean that she couldn’t be kind today? Did she come to mess up the party?
Trista’s pov
Gloria picked up a cup of tea and took two sips. She looked at Ashley and said unhurriedly, “do you know who I hate the most in my life? It’s you who are hypocritical, making trouble out of nothing, and like to play tricks. Congratulations, Mr. Emos, I find a daughter in law who meets my standard . I know, your wife used to bully my daughter-in-law a lot.”
“No, I didn’t. Gloria, you misunderstood me. How could a person like me bully my sister? I didn’t even dare to say a word when I was bullied by her!” Tears welled up in Ashley’s eyes.
I was going to intercede for her, but when I saw her confusing right and wrong, my heart suddenly cooled down. Why did she take the opportunity to speak ill of me and add insult to injury!
“Rachel, did you hear that?” Gloria raised her voice and said to me, “this is your good sister, whom you have tried your best to protect. Did you see her true face today?”
I pursed my lips and didn’t say anything. Yes, she did see it clearly!
