Free Web NovelChapter 994: Chapter 994: Willow Grant Chickened Out
Willow Grant originally wanted to step forward and scold Summer Monroe for being shameless, but after being swept by Aaron’s gaze, she immediately became scared and cowered.
She shrank her neck slightly and was about to advise Mrs. Grant not to get involved in this matter, but it was already too late—
All she heard was Mrs. Grant saying even more excitedly: "This student, you don’t know... My daughter Willow and Damian Knight were about to get engaged, but Summer, that little bitch, decided to intervene. You probably don’t know these things; that girl is great at pretending! You better not be fooled by her!"
Summer Monroe was desperately struggling, trying to escape from Aaron’s arms.
But Aaron’s strength was beyond ordinary, and she couldn’t move at all.
Hearing Mrs. Grant’s words, Summer momentarily stopped struggling and was about to refute, only to hear Aaron coldly say: "Too noisy, slap her."
As soon as the words fell, two bodyguards in black suits appeared out of nowhere.
Before Willow Grant and Mrs. Grant could react, one bodyguard restrained Mrs. Grant, and the other mercilessly slapped her across the face.
With a crisp "slap--" sound, the entire backstage fell silent.
The slap was indeed heavy, causing Mrs. Grant’s whole face to turn sideways, taking a long time to recover.
It was Willow Grant who responded first.
"Mom!"
She rushed over, trying to pull her mother back from the bodyguard’s grip, but once she met the bodyguard’s bloodthirsty eyes, she instantly froze in fear.
That gaze... as if wanting to devour her alive, Willow Grant shivered all over, only able to silently call out "Mom."
"Listen!" Aaron commanded: "If I hear you say that about her again, I’ll cut out your tongue!"
As these words were spoken, Mrs. Grant finally regained her senses.
She felt her face burning painfully and reached up to touch it, discovering her cheek had swollen up directly.
"You, you hit me?"
"What? Didn’t savor it enough? Then let’s make sure you feel it once more."
A glance from Aaron, and the bodyguard raised his hand for another slap.
This time the slap was heavier, and with a "puff" sound, Mrs. Grant suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Along with the blood came a white tooth.
"Mom!" Willow Grant panicked, quickly looking at the dazed Principal Payne for help: "Principal! Help!"
Principal Payne, despite his age, had never encountered anything like this, and was brought back to his senses only upon hearing Willow Grant’s words.
"Aaron, what are you doing?! Tell your men to release her!"
Aaron sneered, tilting his head, finally prompting the two bodyguards to release Mrs. Grant, swiftly disappearing from sight.
Comings and goings without a trace, their speed left one speechless.
Mrs. Grant was completely stunned by the second slap, and as soon as they withdrew, her legs gave way, causing her to kneel on the ground.
Only then did Willow Grant dare to approach.
"Mom, are you okay? Your tooth..."
But Mrs. Grant didn’t speak, merely sitting on the ground dazed.
Willow Grant was momentarily struck by panic, completely not knowing what to do.
Due to this minor incident backstage, a crowd had quickly gathered, yet few were sympathetic to Mrs. Grant.
"She deserves it for slandering my goddess!"
"But, Aaron does seem to have some ambiguous relationship with Summer Monroe... look how close they are."
Summer Monroe also snapped back to reality, struggling and shouting: "Let me go!"
"No." Aaron asked roguishly: "I’m not letting go, what can you do to me? Hmm?"
He deliberately prolonged the final tone, mixing in seduction.
