Chapter 94 Giving It All Back
The surrounding people watched this family's spectacle, and many whispered, commenting on how Ronan ended up marrying such a disgraceful wife.
Only Sadie remained silent. She finally understood that Micah was venting his anger for that night on her behalf...
After ten slaps were delivered, Leah's face and Kathleen's hand were swollen. The mother and daughter held their heads and cried in pain.
After a moment, Kathleen wiped away her tears and asked, "Miss Clark, can we leave now?"
"Get lost," Arianna waved her hand dismissively.
Felipe approached, preparing to take the mother and daughter away.
"Did I say you can leave?" Micah coldly interjected.
Leah trembled all over and tearfully asked, "What else do you want?"
"Don't speak," Felipe hurriedly reprimanded.
"I understand," Kathleen took a deep breath, took a step forward, and bowed ninety degrees to Sadie. "Miss Roth, I offended you last time. It was my fault. I slapped you before, and now I return it to you!"
Saying that, she fiercely slapped herself and continued to strike...
"Mom..." Leah cried out, wanting to stop Kathleen but was pulled back by Vincent. "Madam, if you go up now, Mrs. White won't just settle for ten slaps anymore." Leah had no choice but to stand still, watching her mother slap herself, trembling all over...
Sadie frowned as she looked at Kathleen, feeling a hint of pity but remembering all the things Kathleen had done and said to her and the kids, she remained silent... "That's enough..." Felipe saw his wife being slapped until her mouth bled, and hurriedly stepped forward to plead, "Sadie, spare Kathleen, please, I beg you." Looking at Felipe's submissive appearance, Micah whispered to her, "How about we let it go?"
"When she hit you, when she insulted you, did she ever show mercy?" Micah coldly stared at her.
Sadie dared not speak again.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, there was a gasp around them, and Kathleen collapsed to the ground.
"Honey..." Felipe hurriedly went forward to hold Kathleen.
"Mom..." Leah rushed over, shaking Kathleen's shoulders, "Mom, wake up, don't scare me."
"Quick, take her to the hospital," someone in the crowd said.
Felipe quickly carried Kathleen away, with Leah crying and following behind.
"Mr. Clemens, Miss Roth, I apologize!" Vincent politely apologized to the two before slowly catching up.
"Hmph!" Sadie couldn't help but sneer. Kathleen always fainted whenever her plans failed. It was Kathleen's old trick, fainting several times every month before...
Sadie's face was filled with disgust, but she turned around and found everyone looking at her with strange eyes...
She suddenly understood that Kathleen played this trick well. Although everyone detested Leah's rudeness and ignorance, human nature instinctively sympathized with the weak.
With Kathleen fainting, everyone now thought that Sadie was the aggressive one who instigated Micah to punish the mother and daughter so severely.
Yes, even in their hearts, they didn't dare blame Micah. They would only consider it Sadie's fault.
The auction continued, and everyone went back to their seats.
Micah was ready to leave with Sadie.
When Sadie turned around, she found the pink diamond ring right at her feet. She bent down, picked it up, and handed it to Arianna.
"Thank you." Arianna took the ring, smiled slightly at her, and returned to her seat.
Sadie looked at her figure, her mind wandering back years ago...
Back then, Arianna had caused quite a commotion to compete for Ronan with her, but Arianna dared to be open about it. Although Sadie was annoyed with her, she never held a grudge... After many years, when Arianna encountered her again, she didn't speak ill of her, while her once-close cousin Leah was now scheming against her...
This is probably human nature.
