Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 764

Maeve's little display today gave Andres a much deeper appreciation for just how lethal his wife truly was.

Hans, though ignorant of martial arts, clicked his tongue in pure amazement.

Murray, having finally grasped the mechanics of the attack, had stars in his eyes.

"I had no idea the air current from a silver needle could pack such a punch."

Maeve shot him a look.

"If I hadn't stepped in, were you really just going to stand there and take that slap?"

"She's just a woman," Murray shrugged. "Even if she hit me, it wouldn't have hurt that much."

Maeve's tone turned fiercely authoritative.

"I forbid it."

Murray blinked. "Huh?"

"Murray, I know you were willing to take the hit because you didn't want to cause trouble for your boss."

"I don't care what rules the White family operated under in the past."

"From now on, starting today, this very second—as long as your boss and I are together, you play by my rules."

"If you have the ability to defend yourself, never give anyone the chance to hurt you."

"If she dares to hit you, you hit her right back."

"If you end up injuring someone and your boss won't cover for you, I will."

"From the moment I stitched your heart back together on that highway, your life belongs to me."

"Nobody gets the privilege of slapping my people around. Do you understand?"

Despite the sharp scolding, Murray felt a profound warmth swelling in his chest.

Who knew the usually aloof Miss Vance had such a fiercely protective, blood-pumping side to her?

If he hadn't been so conditioned against showing weakness, he would have burst into tears right then and there.

Even Hans felt a deep rush of affection listening to her.

How could they not adore someone as fiercely loyal and fiercely principled as Miss Vance?

Platonically, of course.

Seeing Murray staring blankly, completely overwhelmed, Hans swiftly kicked him under the table.
