Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 146 Her Actual Husband

Leo finished his interrogation of Alistair and then turned to

Caroline, his voice deadly serious. "Carol, you know your father.

He's tough. This guy might not pass muster."

Ugh, it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

But Alistair couldn't bring himself to care all that much.

The truth was, ever since he found out Caroline and her old man

weren't exactly on speaking terms, getting the seal of approval

from the richest man had dropped way down on his list of

priorities.

Caroline's expression hardened. "He's my man. I don't need anyone's damn approval."

Leo frowned, a crease forming between his brows, "Caroline, can

you just stop being so damn stubborn for once in your life?"

They were both like older brothers to her, in a way. But Julian was

never annoying like this. He always saw things from Caroline's

perspective, always had her back, always supportive.

Leo, on the other hand... Maybe it was the blood tie that made him feel so

entitled, or maybe his high-and-mighty social status had just turned him into a

bossy jerk, but every time he opened his

mouth, it was like a condescending, "I know best" lecture.

Doesn't he get it? Caroline isn't some naive little girl he could just push around!

Alistair wasn't about to stand by and let anyone talk down to

his wife. "My wife makes her own choices for her own life. She doesn't need anyone else telling her what to do or how to live it." For some reason, that really set Leo off. He jabbed a finger at Alistair, his face a mask of pure arrogance and contempt. "And who the hell do you think you are, calling me an outsider?" The words were barely out of his mouth before Caroline's hand flashed out and smacked him clean across the face. It happened

so fast that Alistair didn't even see it coming.

Okay, so Alistair missed the action. Not like the slap landed on his face, after all.

But Leo, incredibly, didn't see it coming either. He just stood there, stunned, after taking the hit full-on, completely poleaxed.

And why wouldn't he be? He was a chart-topping, critically

acclaimed singer-songwriter, used to people fawning over him

wherever he went. Forget getting slapped. Most people barely dared to raise their voices in his presence.
