âImpossible!â
Faye regained her balance after stumbling five steps backward.
On the contrary, Alex Rockefeller stood as steadfast as ever with his hand still grabbing
onto Betty Dawsonâs arm.
Her husband was a fighter himself, and she knew a thing or two about them. Shock
quickly turned into anger.
Shaking her arm free from Alexâs grip, Betty glared at Hailey Lawson. âSo this is what
you are up to, Hailey Lawson! Where did you get the dumb courage to defy the
Summers family? I promise you, Hailey Lawson. You are done for, and that goes the
same for your husbandâs company!â
Hailey was on the verge of crying. âThis is not how it is, Madam Dawson!â
âWhy are you so angry, Mrs. Summers? Canât you speak like a civilized person?
Do you
want me to teach you the way?â Alex stared at Betty.
âWhat?!â Bettyâs chest heaved in anger as the towel wrapped around her body started
loosening all of a sudden.
She grabbed it before it could fall and furiously exclaimed, âWho gave you permission to
speak, fool! One word and your lifeless body will be on the streets tomorrow!â
âAre you sure?â Alex snickered and shook his head. Initially, he came to help Hailey
treat her customer, but he had a change of heart.
This woman right here was being extremely unreasonable and obnoxious, thinking that
she could do whatever she wanted just because she was the Summers familyâs
daughter-in-law.
Seeing the situation turning for the worse, Hailey quickly stopped Alex and whispered in
a low voice, âAlex, please control your temper. We donât want any escalation!â
Alex shook his head. âThis has nothing to do with your beauty salon, Hailey. This
woman right here is being unreasonable and irrational. So what about the Summers
family? I donât care who comes here, I will give them a piece of my mind. Donât worry.
Iâm responsible for whatever happens!â
âUnreasonable? Canât you see the state Iâm in?â
âYes, I see it. You are an ugly woman who looks even worse right now. But it has
nothing to do with the salon. It was your fault,â Alex replied coldly.
Indeed, a shocking remark.
This was particularly true for Hailey, who did not know what to think. She instantly
regretted a little, asking Alex for help. This was not what she expected!
âDamn it!â
Betty was enraged and immediately sent her hand flying across Alexâs face.
Alex grabbed her hand and slapped her instead.
âHow dare you hit me!â
Betty was taken completely by surprise. Ever since her marriage into the Summers
family, her status had skyrocketed, and everyone treated her with the utmost respect
and reverence. Nobody would ever hit her!
âOh, not just that, I can kill you if I want to,â said Alex.
Betty exploded in a fury and shouted at Faye. âTake him down, Faye! What are you
waiting for?! Canât you see I was hit?â
Alex slapped her again as her already swollen face swelled up even further.
âAhh!!!â
She jumped and screamed, making a whole fracas out of it.
Faye had no choice but to approach Alex.
He shook his head, saying, âI wouldnât do it if I were you.â
Of course, she knew just how weak she was in Alexâs face. This young man right here
was at least a Mystic-level fighter!
âUnfortunately, this is my job. I have to do it.â Swiftly, she lunged at Alex.
