Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Revenge

Louis glanced at her sidelong, finding her eyes red and smelling alcohol from her body. How much did she drink in this short period?

Unhappy about it, he tried to push her away, but Blanche clung to him like a lifeline.

A beam of light fell on her face, revealing delicate skin as white as snow. The lower half of her face was still covered by the mask. Louis couldn't understand what could be so terrifying about her appearance.

But this woman was really a disgrace to him.

"Stay still and stay away from me," he snapped.

"Barf."

Blanche almost vomited as a wave of alcohol rushed up her throat.

Suppressing his annoyance, Louis tried again to push her away, but she wouldn't budge.

Daniel and Nicky looked at each other in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Louis was mortified. He had always been a shining star, and his friends had the chance to see him embarrassed for the first time. It was all because of Blanche.

He turned to Daniel, saying, "Come over and help me take care of her. I'm going to tidy up my clothes."

Daniel gasped. "Well, I think you'd better do it yourself. Her face... It's inappropriate for me to touch her."

Daniel backed away, and Louis realized that he was doing it on purpose. He looked as though he couldn't accept the fact that Louis had such an ugly wife.

Louis gritted his teeth and turned to Nicky, who looked at him sympathetically. He too was afraid of approaching Blanche.

In his desperation, Louis managed to pull Blanche away a little, but she soon came close.

She clung to him like a vine.

Suppressing his anger, he looked at her and demanded, "Tell me what is going on."

"They bullied my friend and forced me to drink... barf," Blanche said. Then, as if something occurred to her, she let go of Louis and lunged toward Zach like a mad person. Taking revenge, she punched and kicked him.

"You bastard! How dare you bully my friend and make me drink. See? I am the hostess of the Herbart family. I'd like to see if you dare cause trouble for her again."

Zach held his head in pain and begged for mercy. With Louis around, he didn't dare to fight back.

"I'm sorry, madam. Mr. Herbart, help. I was wrong to offend you. Please spare my life," he pleaded.

Louis and Nicky watched in shock as Blanche beat up Zach.

She scratched his face and kicked him again before stopping.

"You're cancer to society, scum."

As if tired of hitting the man, Blanche lunged back and wrapped her arms around Louis again.

"Let's go home, honey. I'm so tired. I need to go back."

Louis looked at her quizzically. Tired of hitting someone? What had this woman done? This was crazy. And she came back to cling to him like a koala.

Louis glanced at Zach, who was black and blue. This punishment was too light for him. If Louis did it in person, the man would be confined to bed for a year.

Seeing the hostility in Louis' eyes, Zach went down on his knees and begged for mercy.

"Mr. Herbart, I was wrong to offend you tonight. Please let me go."

Louis' eyes darkened, and he looked away after a while.
