Chapter 74
Uriah’s pov
Suddenly, my phone rang. I was not in the mood to answer it, so I directly hung up. “Gloria, please listen to me. This matter…”
The phone rang again. I pressed it off impatiently and forced a smile. “Gloria, it’s true…”
The phone rang again. This time, I couldn’t bear it anymore. “Don’t you know I’m busy? Why do you call me? ”
“Mr. Uriah! The bad news! Just now, a policeman came with a lawyer! The Star group is going to be disintegrated, changing to the former the Moon group and the former the Nash group.”
“What?” I was stunned, like a bolt from the blue!
“There is one more thing!”
The person on the phone said in a hurry, “I don’t know why, the clients of several orders all require advance delivery. We can’t deliver the goods at all. The clients said that if we can’t hand them over, they won’t cooperate with us anymore! And several other suppliers directly cut off our supply, saying that they would rather give us liquidated damages later than give us the goods at this time! And even more clients directly refused to cooperate with us! what happened?”
I almost couldn’t stand on my feet. Aviva hurried to hold me up and asked, “what’s wrong? What happened?”
The phone fell to the ground. I was stunned for a while before I looked at Gloria. “Gloria, why are you so ruthless?”
Now the group was disintegrating and there were many problems. It was impossible to run it well!
Aviva picked up the phone on the ground and asked what had happened. Soon, she was stunned and sat still on the ground.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you?”
“Mom, say something!”
……
Emos and Ashley soon received calls from their subordinates.
Ashley rushed to Gloria’s feet first and said tearfully, “Gloria, you just said that as long as we slapped ourselves one hundred times, you would forgive us and not pursue this matter anymore. How could you break your promise?”
“Let me go.”
“No, I won’t let you go!” Ashley held her feet and begged, “what should we do if you interfere in the business of the group like this? We already know we were wrong! We have apologized and been slapped. We have all shown our weakness to you. What else do you want? You just said that you would forgive us as long as we slapped ourselves!”
“It was just now, and now it is. I don’t like you now, okay?”
Ashley was stunned.
“What do you want us to do, Gloria?” No matter how angry I am now, I don’t dare to go against her openly!
“You failed to teach me well. Shouldn’t you take the punishment together?”
“Gloria, you mean…”
“Two hundred slaps, no less!”
what???
This was going too far!!!
Aviva and I looked at each other and couldn’t believe it. In a trembling voice, she asked, “Gloria, do you want the two of us to kneel down and apologize to you?”
“Your daughter-in-law offended the member of our Lion family! It’s okay if you don’t want to be slapped. The price of that dress is four hundred and thirty-eight million. You compensate . I can let it go.”
“Gloria knows we can’t afford it. Why do you force us?” Emos said angrily!Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Four hundred slaps.”
“It’s obvious that Gloria is making things difficult. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by everyone present?” Ashley said.
“Five hundred slaps!”
Aviva and I were so shocked that we couldn’t speak. We didn’t dare to plead anymore. It only caused more anger from Gloria.
Without hesitation, Aviva and I knelt down and slapped ourselves first!
Trista’s pov
“Dad, mom!” Obviously, Emos was very angry. He glared at me fiercely.
I don’t want to see him anymore.
He knelt down and slapped himself in the face!
Only Ashley stood there like a fool.
“Do you want to get five hundred slaps alone?” Gloria said coldly.
Ashley was startled. When she came to her senses, she also knelt down and slapped herself.
I’m a little worried that it will affect the reputation of the Lion family.
I didn’t expect that the guests would react so unexpectedly.
“Gloria is not an unreasonable woman. She must have done more than just the dress to treat the Nash family li!”
“I agree with you. Gloria has always been frank. She must have done something excessive to piss the Nash family off!”
“I don’t know what happened to Miss Trista in the past. It must be an unusual experience, so I will stand up for her!”
“But obviously, Uriah and Aviva don’t know what happened. ”
“It’s so pitiful to have such a wicked wife…”
……
They all sided with Gloria.
After all, Uriah and Aviva were old. They couldn’t hold on any longer and fell to the ground at their last gasp. Ashley also fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
Only Emos slapped himself on the face one after another, as if he had slapped someone else on the face.
His eyes were fixed on me, making me uncomfortable.
Donald pecked on my face and said, “if he wants to see it, just let him see it enough.”
“Donald, what are you doing…” I want to hide. “There are so many people here… Don’t attract others’ attention.”
“Doesn’t he want to see it?” Somehow, Donald became so childish that he kissed my face on purpose to show it to Emos.
I’m speechless. Others are slapped, and I’m kissing him
“You are mine…” he pressed my head and gently stroked my lips. I couldn’t struggle. In order not to attract more attention, I gradually gave up struggling and allowed him to kiss.
……
Ashley’s pov
Someone in the crowd said, “enough! Enough! Five hundred slaps are enough! You can stop!”
Emos stopped panting. His face was swollen beyond recognition.
“You, come here to propose a cup of tea. Let bygones be bygones.”
what?? Serve tea??
I found that Gloria was calling me. I was stunned for a while before kneeling down in front of Gloria.
She poured the unfinished tea directly to me and said, “this cup of tea is cold. Change another one for me!”
“Ah… Hot…” I frowned in pain.
Someone brought me a cup of tea. I endured the pain and handed it to Gloria. “Gloria, it’s my fault today. Please forgive me!”
“It depends on my daughter-in-law whether I forgive you or not.” I was stunned.
What did Gloria mean?
“Give this cup of tea to her and apologize to her. If she is willing to forgive you, all the past accounts will be written off.”
what?
‘give it to Trista?’???
I looked at the hot tea in my hand in disbelief. Didn’t you mean to embarrass me in front of everyone?
But was there any other way?
“Why are you still standing there? Don’t you understand what Gloria said? Bring this cup of tea to Trista right now!” Aviva urged anxiously.
I had no choice but to put up with all the shame and came to Trista, serving her a cup of hot tea. “Sister, please calm down and have a cup of tea.”
