Hogan was thrown out, slamming into the corner of a table and knocking over two chairs as well.Hogan was in agony, howling on the floor.Judy now saw who it was—Lewis.When she saw Lewis, brimming with anger, walk over to Hogan and kick him hard in the groin, Judy was momentarily stunned.That kick from Lewis could definitely incapacitate Hogan.Hogan's screams echoed through the floor as he rolled on the ground, clutching his groin in pain.Only then did Lewis approach Judy, and from her reaction, he knew exactly what had happened to her: "I'm here now, everything's going to be okay."In front of Judy, the fierce Lewis from moments ago instantly became gentle.Louis followed closely behind, and upon entering, before he could even understand what was happening, Lewis coldly said to him: "Give me your antidote."Louis, who also moved in certain circles, always carried some self-defense items when going out, such as an antidote for being drugged.Louis had been schemed against before,
Amelia received the message and was particularly delighted: "What an unexpected turn of events. I only intended to make Judy's difficult, but it turns out her husband is also at the scene, witnessing his wife being tussled with another man. He definitely won't be able to accept that; Judy just wait to be dumped.""Amelia, next time there's something like this, think of me. It's such a waste for a beauty like Judy to be taken advantage of by someone like Hogan," Hayden had expressed regret upon learning that Amelia's target was Judy. He had seen Judy at the company when he visited Amelia before and found her to be quite an attractive woman.Amelia said smugly, "She's just a woman. Next time you want to have some fun, I'll arrange it for you. After Judy has been played with, she's fair game, isn't she? One more man or one less, it doesn't matter.""I'll look forward to it," Hayden said, quite excited at the prospect.Amelia wheeled her chair over and said, "Let's go and take a look. I w
Judy wasn't the first time calling Lewis her husband, but it was the first time she did so in front of so many people.Today, with the situation becoming such a mess, it wouldn't be a secret anymore that she was Lewis's wife. At least not to these people here, her relationship with Lewis was exposed.Of course, Judy was deliberately targeting Amelia. Wasn't Amelia trying to marry Lewis?The word "husband" was very comforting to Lewis.A sense of pride arose in Lewis's heart, being Judy's husband.And for Amelia, those two words were like a thunderbolt.Judy's husband was Lewis?Impossible.Lewis had never been married.Amelia immediately berated her, "Judy, are you crazy? Have you been drinking too much? How can you call Lewis your husband? Do you know who he is? He's...""I'm Judy's husband." Lewis interrupted Amelia's words with a cool voice and held hands with Judy.The wedding rings on their hands were dazzling.Amelia felt like she was going crazy. Judy wasn't married to an old m
Judy didn't ask if there was a drug in the water, but instead affirmed that there must be. This affirmative language led Layla to subconsciously follow Judy's topic of who gave her the drug and who was behind it, forgetting to deny if there was indeed a drug in the water. In her mind, she had already admitted that there was a drug in the water.This was the art of language.Seeing Hogan beaten up like this and even Amelia being more restrained in front of Judy's husband, Layla realized that Judy's husband was a significant figure that she couldn't afford to offend. She couldn't afford to offend either Amelia or Judy. Layla instinctively looked at Amelia, who said in a guilty conscience, "Layla, think carefully before you speak. What's the situation? You accompanied Judy for this reception. Who put the drug in it?"Amelia's words were clearly meant to intimidate Layla from speaking the truth.Layla fearfully asked Judy, "If I tell the truth, will you forgive me? I had no other choice,
In the Royal Estate, Lewis deliberately locked Amelia and Layla in a room together, securing the doors and windows. Sure enough, as soon as the door was locked, there was movement inside.Inside the room, Amelia managed to stand up from her wheelchair and immediately slapped Layla across the face, "Whore, who gave you the nerve to blabber in front of Lewis? I'll tear your mouth apart."Amelia, with her obsessive, spoiled, and arrogant personality, would instantly lash out with violence and profanity whenever she was displeased.Layla didn't dare to fight back and could only endure Amelia's blows and curses. Her hair was yanked out in patches, and her head was bleeding profusely. But Amelia didn't let up, continuing to pinch Layla relentlessly.Layla screamed in pain, but Amelia glared at her fiercely, "Dare to make a sound, and I'll kill you once we're out of here."Layla bit her tongue and endured the pain as Amelia unleashed her fury. Soon, Layla's entire body was covered in bruises
The scream was Layla, who could no longer endure Amelia's torment.Layla's face was swollen, her mouth was bleeding, her hair was disheveled, and a large clump of hair lay on the ground, roots bloodied.A large patch of Layla's scalp had been torn off, blood dripping, a sight that was horrifying.Layla's clothes were also torn.Perona, witnessing the scene, was stunned.The one who had assaulted Layla was her own daughter, Amelia.Amelia's face wore an expression of excitement, as if she was possessed."Amelia," Perona called out, her voice trembling, "How have you become like this, how could you do this?"Perona stepped forward to pull Amelia away. She glanced at Layla, who was cowering in the corner, trembling and crying, and felt heartbroken, almost unable to bear the sight.Seeing Perona arrive, Amelia's mind cleared a bit. She had been too excited just now; it had been a long time since she had abused someone like this.Before Amelia returned, she had formed cliques at school and
Lewis explained the situation in broad strokes to Perona. Perona listened with wide eyes, finding it hard to believe. She immediately turned to Amelia and demanded angrily, "Did you do this?"Amelia hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "…No, Mom, I really don't know what's going on. I heard that Judy and Hogan were arguing, so I went to see. They're accusing me of drugging, but it seems like Judy seduced Hogan and was caught, deliberately framing me."She glared at Judy, "Judy, why did you and Layla frame me? You're just jealous because I fired you. I can even suspect that Ellie's sabotage was your doing. You and Ellie were close in the company. Now you're making Layla accuse me. You're too malicious."Judy couldn't help but laugh at Amelia's wild accusations. Before Judy could say anything, Lewis gently patted her back, signaling her to leave it to him. Judy then remained silent.Lewis tapped his finger idly on his palm, staring at Amelia, "I gave you two chances, and you did
Perona looked at the unrepentant Amelia and then at Lewis, caught between a rock and a hard place. She didn't want to send her daughter to jail, but she also had to provide an explanation to Lewis and Judy. If her solution didn't satisfy Lewis, Amelia would end up in jail that night.After pondering, Perona said, "Lewis, it's true that Amelia was in the wrong and caused harm to Judy tonight."Looking at Judy, who held the power in the situation, Perona continued, "Judy, the harm Amelia caused you tonight will be compensated. Amelia's behavior was preposterous, and she should own up to her mistakes. I won't favor anyone; the matter should be handled as it should be." Perona steeled herself and said, "Call the police. It will also serve as a lesson for Amelia."Everyone present, including Lewis, was taken aback. Judy and Louis hesitated, finding it hard to believe.Amelia screamed hysterically, "Mom, I'm your daughter. Are you going to send me to jail? Have you lost your mind? Am I even
