Chapter 408: 408: A Slap!
As long as someone provoked him, everyone was equal.
Ethan looked at Sofia Carrillo and asked with a frown, “Who hit you?”
Sofia stuttered, “No…nobody, I got hurt by bumping into something.”
A trace of coldness flashed across Ethan’s face. He waved his hand and the terrifying aura instantly lifted the suppression on Edward Green and Sofia.
Upon regaining their mobility, Edward and Sofia quickly stood up from the ground.
“You two, come in with me,” Ethan coldly said.
Edward grabbed Ethan’s arm and opened his mouth to say, “Mr. Smith, please be careful.”
Ethan nodded, and then strode into the house.
As soon as he entered, he saw a woman wearing high heels and exuding an air of nobility standing there.
Upon seeing Ethan, Zaria Buchanan said indifferently, “So you’re Ethan Smith?”
Ethan didn’t speak. His eyes, filled with a murderous spirit, coldly stared at Zaria.
Zaria, acting as if she owned the place, said indifferently, “Sit down.”
But Ethan didn’t respond, instead asking, “Are you the one who made them kneel at the door?”
This question caught Zaria off guard.
As the reputable Lady of the Taylor family, she was personally paying a visit, and Ethan’s attention was on two nobodies?
Zaria gave Ethan a quick once-over and said, “You’re indeed different from ordinary people.”
“Answer my question,” Ethan demanded.
Such words naturally enraged Zaria.
She stared coldly at Ethan and asked, “Do you know who I am?”
“Whoever you are, what does it have to do with me?” Ethan replied coldly.
“What makes you think you have the right to make them kneel at the door?”
“How dare you speak to me like that! You’re audacious!” a Grandmaster standing beside Zaria scolded.
Ethan glanced at him and slapped him across the face.
This slap shattered the bodyguard’s facial bones, and his aura quickly diminished.
Zaria’s face turned incredibly ugly, and intense killing intent flashed in her eyes.
“Not a single person has ever dared to disrespect me like this since I married into the Taylor family! You’ve truly surprised me!” Zaria coldly said.
Ethan sneered, “Really? The real surprise is yet to come.”
Having said that, Ethan strode towards Zaria.
“Were you the one who injured Sofia’s face?” Ethan asked with a cold expression.
Upon hearing this, Zaria furiously replied, “Ethan Smith, don’t push it too far! What’s wrong with hitting two watchdogs?”
“Watchdogs?” Ethan sneered.
“I’m going to show you the consequences of hitting someone.”
He raised his hand and slapped Zaria across the face.
The crisp sound echoed within the room.
A clear handprint quickly appeared on Zaria’s face.
“You…you dare hit me?! Do you know who I am?” Zaria’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
No one had ever dared to lay a hand on her, the wife of the Taylor family’s leader.
“Of course, I know.” Ethan sneered.
“You’re a dog kept by the rich, a prostitute in the high society of Capital City, and a despicable beast committing injustices by abusing power,” Ethan mocked.
“You…you…” Zaria was so angry she couldn’t form a sentence.
“Oh, right, you’re also a vicious, ugly hag,” Ethan added.
Zaria was on the verge of going insane from anger!
She had thought that her appearance would scare Ethan out of his wits.
But she never expected that Ethan wouldn’t care about her at all, and even insulted her!
“Ethan Smith, I won’t let you get away with this!” Zaria gritted her teeth and said.
Ethan sneered, “Alright then, I’ll be waiting.”
Zaria had obviously underestimated Ethan.
She couldn’t help but remember the words Sammy Taylor had said.
This guy was arrogant and unruly.
“Ethan Smith, I will always remember this slap! We’ll see!” Zaria gritted her teeth and said.
After dropping this sentence, Zaria angrily stormed out wearing her high heels.
Ethan called out to her as she left, “No need to see you off. Next time you come, don’t bring such trash.”
Zaria didn’t say a word and crawled into the car.
As soon as she got in, Zaria yelled, “Ethan Smith dared to hit me! I want to kill him, I want to kill him!”
“Madam, please…please calm down,” the bodyguard beside her whispered.
“Useless! A bunch of useless people!” Zaria roared.
The bodyguard sat beside her, not daring to say a word.
Zaria’s slap wasn’t a small matter.
If word got out, it would likely shock the entire Pyro!
“Drive, back to Capital City,” Zaria coldly ordered.
“Yes, madam,” the bodyguard dared not say more.
The car headed all the way back to Capital City.
As soon as Zaria returned home, she saw Kylan Taylor sitting coldly on the sofa.
“Master…”
Upon seeing Kylan, Zaria pretended to be wronged.
Kylan coldly stared at Zaria and asked, “Who told you to go to Chuzzle?”
Zaria opened her mouth and quietly said, “I just wanted to stand up for the Taylor family, to share in your worries.”
“Share in my worries?” Kylan coldly looked at Zaria.
“Didn’t I tell you not to meddle in the Taylor family’s affairs?”
Zaria opened her mouth, feigning grievance as she said, “I saw how tired you’ve been lately, and I just couldn’t bear it…”
“Hmph!” Kylan snorted.
“Zaria, don’t think I don’t know your little schemes.”
Zaria sat quietly and didn’t dare speak.
Although Zaria was but a woman, her ambition was immense.
Managing to climb the Taylor family tree was due to her cunning.
So Kylan remained wary of her.
“Tell me, how did you share my worries?” Kylan changed the subject and asked indifferently.
Zaria gritted her teeth and said, “That Ethan Smith is utterly lawless! He doesn’t care about our Taylor family at all!”
“Get to the point,” Kylan sipped his tea and said indifferently.
Zaria touched her face and tearfully said, “That Ethan Smith…he actually dared to hit me!”
