Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 41

Just before Olivia could reach Yolanda, a sudden, stinging slap struck her face. Her left cheek immediately began to swell. She hadn't expected Yolanda to resort to violence.

Dazed by the unexpected blow, Olivia stood frozen, her hand pressed against her face. After a moment, she turned to Samuel with a look of hurt. "Mr. Liddell! She just hit me!"

Equally taken aback by Yolanda's violent outburst, Samuel narrowed his eyes in disapproval. With a stern tone, he warned, "Miss, there's a consequence for such recklessness. No one has ever dared to hit someone under my watch!"

"Yolanda, cut this out!" Diana's face went even paler.

Though she was seething with anger, she held back from being too forceful, wanting only to get away from the volatile situation as quickly as she could. However, Yolanda's actions had clearly angered Samuel and things had gotten out of hand.

After giving Yolanda a stern warning, Samuel turned to Diana with a smile. "Well, since your daughter obviously can't control herself, shouldn't you, as her mother, offer an apology on her behalf?"

Diana clenched her fists, her jaw tight with anger. "My daughter stepped out of line. I'm sorry for her behavior. Now, can we leave?"

She silently cursed Yolanda over and over as she glared at Samuel's contemptuous expression. If it weren't for Yolanda stirring up this mess, they'd probably be on their way by now. Diana definitely didn't want to apologize, but she had no choice.

Yolanda had once again shown herself to be nothing but a troublesome burden. Any goodwill Diana had once felt toward Yolanda had completely disappeared because of her reckless behavior.

"An apology needs to be genuine!" Samuel pursed his lips and nodded toward the bottle of red wine on the table. "You'll drink this whole bottle and join me at the club next door for a few songs. Only then will I consider forgiving you both!"

"Don't push your luck!" Diana shot back.

Seeing no way out, she quickly reached into her bag for her phone, planning to call Harold for help. But the moment she pulled it out, Samuel grabbed it from her.

"Still planning to call for help? Let me make it clear. No one you call today will make a difference! You're coming with me!"

Samuel's patience finally snapped as Diana continued to resist. He signaled to the bodyguards standing nearby, ready to have them forcefully take Diana with them.

"What do you think you're doing?" Diana backed away in panic, flailing her handbag to keep the bodyguards at a distance. But there was no way she could hold her own against those strong, young men.

The bodyguards closed in. As one of the bodyguards reached for Diana, trying to pull her away from the table, his arm was suddenly gripped by a firm, plump hand.

The bodyguard glanced at Yolanda, attempting to shake her off with a rough jerk. But Yolanda's grip was unyielding and wouldn't budge.

"You're asking for trouble!" the bodyguard snarled, releasing Diana and grabbing Yolanda by the collar.

A sharp, unmistakable snap cut through the air.
