Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby novel Chapter 2236

When Gerard saw her daughter getting hit, he raised his fist to punch Francesca in his rage.

At that moment, the green snake that was hiding in Francesca's sleeve shot out and wrapped itself around Gerard's neck, opening its mouth to attack.

Just as it was about to sink its teeth into Gerard's skin, Francesca yelled, “Sam, come back!”

Sam's tongue had already come in contact with Gerard's skin, but it held back just in time and jumped back to Francesca's wrist before coiling and turning into a jade bangle-like shape.

“You... You...” As Gerard touched his neck and looked at Francesca's wrist, his face turned pale. “You evil woman! I'm going to kill you!”

Next, he lunged at Francesca.

“Stop it right there!”

The first lady appeared at that juncture and stopped Gerard.

The latter lowered his fist, while Francesca, who was ready to retaliate, retracted her raised leg as well.

If the first lady hadn't appeared, Gerard would have been sent flying by Francesca's kick before he could even land a punch.

“Gerard, what are you doing?” the first lady scolded. “I just went out for a call, and I come back to see you attempting to hit Francesca! You're a man and an elder to her. How could you be so unreasonable?”

“Mrs. President, this is a misunderstanding!” Gerard pointed at Francesca in agitation and continued, “This brat attacked me with an ashtray earlier and missed, but Hazel got hit instead!”

The first lady turned to look at Hazel and found out that the girl's wound was indeed bleeding, and an ashtray lay beside her feet. At that sight, the first lady questioned, “Francesca, what's going on?”

“Gerard offended me with his words first,” said Francesca coldly. “I did hurl an ashtray at him, but he dodged. That's why I accidentally hurt Hazel.”
