Chapter 281 She Got Beaten

Anissa thought that by backing down, Adelaide would show her some respect.

But to her surprise, Adelaide just glanced at Anissa and then swiftly slapped Isidora across the face.

The room went dead silent.

Isidora clutched her cheek, staring in shock at Adelaide. She never expected someone like Adelaide to hit her.

Chloe was also stunned. This was a public place, and she was worried about causing a scene. She tugged at Adelaide, whispering, "Auntie, please don't... It's not worth it." Seeing Chloe's anxiety, Adelaide patted her hand gently, signaling her not to worry. If she dared to slap Isidora, she was ready to face the consequences.

Anissa never expected that even after invoking the longstanding friendship between their families, Adelaide would still be unrelenting, refusing to spare her any face. A surge of uncontrollable anger ignited within her, yet she struggled to maintain a facade of calm on her face.

"Adelaide, you've gone too far," Anissa said through clenched lips, her voice low but laced with unmistakable fury. Her gaze fixed on Adelaide, she sought to overpower her with sheer presence.

As Mrs. Martin, she had long grown accustomed to being fawned over and looked up to, but today, Adelaide's actions felt like a sharp slap across her face.

Yet, Adelaide remained utterly unshaken. A faint, mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips as she spoke in a tone that was deceptively light yet piercingly pointed. "Did you not think you were going too far when you humiliated my niece?"

"Mrs. Martin, keep your people in check. If she dares to insult anyone from the Davis family again, it won't just be a slap next time."

"And let me remind you, the girls from the Davis family don't have to marry boys from the Martin family. Don't use your mother-in-law's authority to pressure people. After all, until they're married, it's just an engagement."
