Chapter 365

For a brief moment, absolute silence engulfed the living room.

Everyone stood frozen, staring at Alex, stunned by the recklessness of his actions.

Madam Henny was not just anyone. She was a pillar of the Montclair family, a respected elder whose every move was met with admiration and reverence.

Disrespecting her was unthinkable.

Florence broke the silence first, "Have you completely lost your mind, Alex? How dare you humiliate Madam Henny like this?"

Henny's eyes blazed with pure rage, "You bastard! Do you even realize what you've done? You'll pay dearly for this!"

Alex didn't flinch. Instead, he met Henny's hateful gaze with a cold smile.

"You want to know why?"

"Maybe you should ask your daughter, Laura Montclair. Last time I saw her, she had the military capture and torture me. Didn't she mention that to you?"

Stepping closer, Alex's voice sharpened, laced with contempt.

"Laura's locked away now, so I can't get my revenge directly. But since you're her mother-the one who taught her arrogance and cruelty-I figure you're just as guilty. Lucky for you, I'm willing to help you fix that flaw."

Without hesitation, Alex swung his hand and slapped Henny across the face, the brutal force shattering her aging teeth.

"Ahh!" Henny screamed in agony, her mouth filled with blood.

Shock and humiliation flooded her eyes as she struggled to grasp how she, the great Madam Henny, could suffer such an indignity.

She had come here ready to crush Sophia and her family like worthless insects.

Instead, she was left drenched in scalding tea, slapped across the face, her dignity shattered-along with a few of her teeth.

"Alex!" Florence shouted, her voice filled with horror and disbelief. "Are you insane? First, you threw tea at her, and now this? You're going too far!"

Too far? Alex scoffed at the thought.

They hurt Sophia. They humiliated her.

He had already destroyed the Guise family for that tore them apart without mercy.

And now this old woman, Henny Montclair? She was the rotting remnant of a family already circling the drain.
