Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 184 Slapping

The ambulance had just pulled away with Mabel inside, sirens still wailing in the

distance, when Gordon stormed out of the house, his face dark with fury. But the

moment he spotted Caroline standing outside, her expression tense with worry,

his stride faltered. He looked like he was about to speak when a trembling, tearful

"Paige, please don't cry... no one wanted this to happen..."

Caroline didn't even look at the woman behind him. Her gaze stayed locked on

She didn't so much as glance at her stinging palm. Her eyes stayed locked on

Paige's stunned face, her own porcelain features darkened by something vicious,

something just shy of feral. "Paige Reed," she said, voice like glass, "I'm warning

you! My family is where I draw the line!"

Paige blinked in disbelief. Slowly, she turned her face back to center, glaring at

Caroline like she'd just been jolted out of a coma. Her eyes rolled a little and then

finally landed on Gordon, who had stepped up behind Caroline.

She let out a choked, guttural cry. "Gordon! Did you see that? Did you hear what
