YM778.TV Chapter 267: 267 I Don't Like You_1
She stood up and looked coldly at Cindy Harrison, sending a chill through her.
Cindy Harrison was stunned, unsure of what Louisa Burley meant, and looked at herself in confusion, murmuring,
“Miss Burley, did I do something wrong?”
Slap!
The response was a loud slap.
Louisa Burley put all her strength into it, hitting Cindy Harrison hard across the face.
The surroundings instantly fell into a silence as still as death.
That slap stunned everyone.
Especially Spencer Burley, whose eyes nearly popped out.
Ever since she was young, Louisa Burley had always been gentle and soft-spoken, never even raising her voice.
Even when she was angry, she would speak in quiet, muted tones, let alone resort to hitting someone.
Is this really my sister?
Cindy Harrison was bewildered too, her face a picture of disbelief as she said, “You… you dared to hit me? Do you know who I am?”
“Cindy Harrison? The future Mrs. Lin?”
“You know and still dared to hit me?”
Louisa Burley’s eyebrows knitted slightly as she stared at Cindy Harrison, saying earnestly, “I don’t like you!”
“Just because you don’t like me, you think you can hit me?”
Cindy Harrison was so angry her face turned iron blue, and she couldn’t help but tremble; as the future matriarch of the Lin family, being slapped in public was too much to bear.
How could she swallow this humiliation?
“Slut, thinking you’re someone important, are you?”
Cindy Harrison, furious, raised her hand to strike back.
Adrian Wright, closest to the action, was the first to react. Before Cindy Harrison’s hand could come down, he stepped in front of Louisa Burley and sent a backhanded slap her way.
Slap!
Another crisp sound echoed as Cindy Harrison’s other cheek swelled.
Adrian Wright squinted his eyes and said indifferently, “She’s nothing but a tool for bearing descendants, so what if she’s hit.
Do you really think the Lin family would feud with our families over you? You’re too full of yourself.”
Seeing his older sister nearly get hit, Spencer Burley’s face also turned cold as he angrily said, “Come on, try touching my sister. I guarantee you’ll be in the hospital right away, never to marry into the Lin family in this lifetime!”
“You… good for you all, we’ll just wait and see!”
Cindy Harrison trembled with rage but was utterly helpless.
Because she knew Adrian Wright was right; the Wright and Burley families were also prominent clans in Jamae, and the Lin family would not offend them just for her sake.
All she could do was to leave with a vicious parting shot, angrily turning to leave.
Seeing Cindy Harrison go, Spencer Burley quickly ran to his sister’s side and asked, “Sis, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, just my hand hurts a bit.”
Louisa Burley showed her palm, which was already turning pink from the force she had exerted on the tender skin.
Spencer Burley was taken aback, then couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Couldn’t you have been a little gentler? You didn’t do much to her, but you hurt yourself first.”
“I… I didn’t think too much at the time, I was just so angry seeing that woman…”
“Hahaha, big sis is so badass!”
Watching her brother make faces, Louisa Burley’s face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head, feeling a little ashamed.
Adrian Wright joked, “Magnus is right, that woman just deserved it, Louisa did good!”
At this point, Jaden Ford also came to his senses, hurriedly ran over, and took a careful look at Louisa Burley’s hand, saying with some concern,
“Ouch, you got the angle all wrong. You should have followed the direction of your swing, making a round motion.
That way, the slap hurts them more and takes less effort from you.
“`
“Look at your little hand, all injured, Greg would certainly be heartbroken if he saw this.”
Louisa Burley listened in a daze and, upon hearing the latter part of the sentence, her face reddened and she snapped, “Tracy, what… what nonsense are you talking about?”
“Oh, did I say something wrong?”
Jaden Ford chuckled teasingly, pulling Louisa Burley to sit down, and continued explaining to her the correct way to slap someone.
Louisa Burley nodded her little head keenly, listening very seriously.
Spencer Burley, watching two women discussing how to slap someone in the most painful way, felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his entire body instantly.
Seeing this, Adrian Wright couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Haha, you’d better behave from now on, otherwise…”
Having said that, he intentionally paused, then heaved a sigh of regret and patted his shoulder, adding,
“Buddy, best of luck to you, the brothers can’t help you with this.”
“I…”
Spencer Burley felt utterly miserable.
…
“I’m so angry, that bitch, who does she think she is, how dare she!”
Cindy Harrison’s face was filled with anger, her expression fierce as if she were about to devour someone.
Judy Lampe quickly advised, “Cindy, calm down, the wedding is the most important thing right now, don’t bother with them for the moment.
Once you become Mrs. Jensen of the Jensen family, you’ll have plenty of time to take revenge, you mustn’t let them delay the wedding.”
“Aiden, one day, I’ll make that bitch kneel and beg me!”
Cindy Harrison took a deep breath, calming her emotions slightly, then asked, “What did the inspector’s office say? Has Greg’s charge been confirmed?”
“Not yet, they are still looking for evidence.”
“What more evidence do they need?”
Cindy Harrison furiously said, “Isn’t Angela Stuart’s testimony enough?”
“Angela Stuart’s statement has indeed been recorded but she seems to have disappeared.”
“What? You’re saying Angela Stuart disappeared?”
Cindy Harrison said with a stern face, “Didn’t I tell you to keep a close eye on her?”
Judy Lampe helplessly said, “She was quite cooperative at first, but then she went out to buy something and vanished.”
“Useless, you can’t do anything right!” Cindy Harrison said angrily.
Judy Lampe said, “It’s okay, her statement has already been taken, and all the necessary photos have been snapped. Even without her, we can still sue Greg.”
“We still need to find her; if we really can’t, then we’ll talk.”
“Alright.”
Cindy Harrison glanced at her aunt and sighed helplessly, “Go buy some decent clothes later, you’ll need to accompany me to the wedding.”
Judy Lampe was somewhat surprised and asked, “Aren’t your parents coming?”
Cindy Harrison said impatiently, “Why would they come? A bunch of country bumpkins showing up at the wedding just to embarrass me; we’ll discuss them coming over after the wedding.”
“Okay… okay then.”
Judy Lampe felt a bit of chill, thinking how it could be that parents couldn’t attend their daughter’s wedding.
…
In a dilapidated rural house, Angela Stuart’s thick as a thumb, was firmly bound to a broken chair.
Theo Carter set up the camera, aiming it at Angela Stuart’s face, then picked up a chair from the side and sat down in front of her.
“Talk, why did you betray Mr. Jensen.”
Seeing the sinister smile on Theo Carter’s face, Angela Stuart felt terrified and said tremblingly, “I… I had no choice, they threatened me with my family.”
“Who?”
Theo Carter said indifferently, “Be clear, who threatened you with your family?”
Angela Stuart was close to crying and said hastily, “Cindy Harrison, and that Judy Lampe.”
“Do you have evidence?”
“Evidence?”
