Gigi Graham glared coldly at Xyla Quest. “Xyla, this is where you’re wrong. Can’ t you see that I’m concerned about you and your husband’s lives?
Xyla chuckled. “You don’t have to be worried about us.”
Gigi was visibly upset from the look in her eyes. “I thought that, since my husband is better than Stanley anyway, I want him to look after Stanley. My husband loves me a lot, and he would do anything I ask of him,” she said.
With that, Gigi held on tightly to William Jones, who stood next to her and lifted her chin a little as she looked proudly at everyone. Gigi’ s intentions were clear to everyone in the room, and everyone couldn’t help but curse at her under their breath.
“Oh? Is that so?” Stanley’s gaze landed on William’s face ever so briefly.
Although Stanley did not show any emotion on his face, his imposing manner was as strong as ever. With a simple glance, Stanley made William feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
William immediately shuddered, raised his hand, and slapped Gigi across her face. “Shut up. You are the only person who speaks a lot here.”
After the loud slap, Gigi’s right face began to swell.
Gigi was completely stunned by the sudden slap. In all the time she had been with William, he had never once treated her like this. Now, he had actually such a cruel thing to her in front of her classmates. Gigi felt as if he repeatedly stomped on her self- esteem.
Only a moment ago, Gigi was bragging to Xyla about how William was much more capable than Xyla’s husband and how William treated her extraordinarily well. Now, William slapped her. Gigi wished she could find a hole and hide in it right now.
Xyla never thought that the man Gigi claimed to love her so much would actually do such a thing in public. Now, Xyla felt that the class reunion was much more interesting.
In such a big world, anything unusual could happen.
“Didn’t she say that her husband was very nice to her? Now, it doesn’t look like that at all.”
“Yeah, I think she was just blowing her own trumpet. Anyone could see that William Jones doesn’t love her at all.”
“Hahaha. Such an embarrassing moment happened so unexpectedly. With a violent husband like hers, how does she still have the nerves to make fun of Xyla’s husband? I’m baffled.”
People around them began to whisper among themselves.
Although their voices were soft, Gigi could still hear everything they said clearly. Her smugness faded away, and her face was now red. At this moment, Gigi felt increasingly ashamed of herself. Unhappily, she covered her and looked at William. “William Jones, what are you doing?”
Was he revolting against her?
What kind of man would have the courage to do this to her?
Gigi was feeling so angry that she panted.
When Xyla saw Gigi in such a state, she suddenly felt very amused.
“Of course, I was hitting you. How many times have I told you that we should be humble? Don’t you understand? Who the f*ck gave you the right to look down at Mr. Batton? Do you think you’re even good enough?” William responded angrily as his fists were clenched tightly next to him.
Gigi was nearly driving William mad. Did Gigi have any idea whom she was messing with?
How dare Gigi trample on Stanley using William’s name? Did she just ask William to teach Stanley how to invest and to find Stanley a job? Did William even deserve that?
Today, the slap William gave Gigi was necessary. If William didn’t do so to appease Stanley, they would definitely be targeted by Stanley. William still wanted to live a while longer. Undoubtedly, William’s words were like adding salt to injury.
Gigi felt thoroughly upset. Quickly, Gigi clenched her fists as she glared coldly at William’s face. She was so angry that her body began to tremble.
