That woman started to insult Cornelia again, "Zack, you're a young, successful stud. Why are you so smitten with Cornelia? In the beginning, everyone blamed that girl and only a few of you stood up for her. Now look, all of you are bewitched by her and can't tell right from wrong; all you think about is money."
Zack's face suddenly turned cold, "If you dare say another word about Nelly, I won't let you off."
That woman, "Oh, so you've had relations with that girl too. What's so charming about her that all you guys who've been with her are so obsessed?"
Zack slapped her hard across the face, "You can insult me, but if you dare slander Nelly, I will never let you off!"
She didn't expect Zack to get physical. Her biggest fear isn't the law, but people more ruthless than her. Zack looked menacing like he was ready to eat someone alive.
Zack closed in on her, coldly looking at the boy behind her, "I can throw this little guy off the building right now."
She was so scared by Zack's threat that her legs went weak. She truly believed Zack would throw her son off the building, "You, you..."
She grabbed her son and scampered off.
Zack closed the door, "Should've known that a slap is all it takes to deal with people like her. Why waste so much time arguing?"
He turned around to see Abigail wiping away tears; the more she wiped, the more they flowed, "Abby, you weren't scared by that woman, were you?"
