When she met Stacy's triumphant smile,Julie knew she had been framed.Stacy deliberately made her angry.
Stacy burrowed in Tom's embrace and said with grievance,"Tom,I only came to help your wife move things,but she was so mean!Not only did she scold me,she even hit me.”
Over the years,Tom had risen to become one of the capital's new elite,so he often encountered such flirtatious women.
Before,Tom would always take her side and say,“If I hit you,I hit you.Do I need to pick a day for it?”
But this time,he stood opposite her.His expression was frighteningly cold.
“Apologize!”
Julie clenched her lowered fist and said,“I’m not wrong.I won’t apologize.”
“She brought it on herself with that vile mouth.She deserved it.”
Given all the harm Stacy had inflicted upon her,a slap was the least she deserved.
After saying that,Julie turned to leave,only was stopped by servants who forced her to her knees.
Julie raised her head and looked at Tom,with shock in her eyes."What are you doing?"
Tom looked down from above,eyes cold.“Since you hit someone,you should be prepared to be hit.”
Julie was stunned,her mind buzzing.
For Stacy's sake,he had to crush all her dignity under his feet and now he even wanted to physically teach her a lesson?
She struggled frantically but couldn’t budge an inch.Tears welled in her eyes as her voice trembled.
"Tom,she provoked me first.You...”
Before she could finish,Tom grabbed Stacy’s hand and slapped it across Julie’s face.
Julie's head jerked to the side.A trickle of blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth.She looked utterly shattered with a mix of hatred,regret and despair in her eyes.“Tom,you once promised me that with you,you will never let me suffer a trace of grievances,you are now...”
Smack!
Before she finished speaking,another slap landed on her face.
Tom looked impatiently at her."You started the bullying.A few slaps are just a lesson.You deserve it."
Tears streamed down Julie's face.
She was the bully?
Obviously,Stacy was a mistress,but she moved into the legitimate wife's house and forced her to leave.Who was bullying whom?
Tom…oh Tom.Are you truly blind or pretending?
He waved his hand and asked the servant to let her go,ready to take Stacy away.
At this moment,the woman,who was kneeling on the ground with bloodshot eyes,suddenly got up to fight back.
She gathered every ounce of strength,but before her palm could land on Stacy's face,Tom kicked her.
