Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 267: Crisp Slaps

Clara tasted blood in her mouth, and her jaw throbbed with pain. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"You old hag," the figure said coldly, her piercing gaze boring into Clara. "Just like how you forgot to teach your daughter the right things, your mother must have forgotten to teach you as well. But don’t worry, I’m always ready to knock some sense into nasty minds like yours. And I don’t care if the person is elderly—my way of teaching doesn’t discriminate by age."

"You, how dare you hit my mother?" Briena spat angrily, forgetting her own tears.

Slap!

Briena joined her mother on the floor, clutching her face. The sting mirrored the one her mother had felt moments ago, adding to her already teary-eyed humiliation.

The figure knelt on one knee in front of the mother-daughter duo.

"How fortunate you two must feel to be graced by my tight slaps—something someone should have done to you two a long time ago," the figure said coldly. "Now, I wonder how lovely it would be if Sephina Ford were here, so I could bless her with a crisp slap just like the ones you two mongrels received."

Clutching her burning cheek, Briena looked at the figure with wide eyes. "You... You’re the one who gave us that formula and even took our money. Cathy, you betrayed your friend, and you—"

"Haha!" Cathy’s mocking laughter rang through the waiting area. "Your money?" Cathy asked, her tone dripping with disdain. "How dare you try to buy my friendship with Natalie and Mia for a mere hundred million? Do you know my heart almost bled when you thought my friendship was so cheap—worth a hundred million and a job in your shitty company? Are you kidding me?"

Cathy raised her hand as if to slap Briena again, and Briena instinctively flinched, sinking back in fear to protect herself.

Cathy lowered her hand and smirked. "You should have offered me at least a hundred billion and Sephina’s place. But you... Wait, now that I think about it, even that would have been too little."
