Brittany was nonchalant, sipping her wine while Hannah, noticing her calm demeanor, wisely changed the subject.
...
The Salter Villa.
Every member of the Salter family was gathered around.
Those who had previously treated Marcel and his mother with disdain were then rushing to curry favor with them.
Grace Salter sat at the head of the table, her face ashen, as if that wasn't a family feast but a tense situation reminiscent of Caesar's last supper.
After all those years, Leda was finally getting her moment in the sun.
When Isaac arrived, Leda didn't even bother to make eye contact.
Seeing her, Isaac was filled with an intense fury. Before anyone else could react, he grabbed Leda, threw her down on the ground, and started to slap her repeatedly.
Leda was in a lot of pain. Naturally, tears and snot streamed down her face.
“Isaac, let her go!” Marcel shouted, enraged. He hadn't expected Isaac to attack.
Ignoring Marcel, Isaac glared at Leda, his eyes cold and menacing. “If you dare lay a finger on my son again, I'll have you join Manuel Salter in the grave!”
In pain, Leda shivered, not daring to make a sound.
Isaac kicked Leda aside. The other members of the Salter family remained silent, too afraid to intervene.
Even without Grandeur Capital, Isaac was still the most influential man in the family.
Having lived under his power for so many years, they were still afraid of him even at that time.
Isaac walked over to the elderly Mrs. Salter. The person sitting next to her quickly got up, giving their seat to Isaac.
Leda was helped up by a servant, still seething with resentment.
But one cold look from Isaac silenced her.
He then said, “Leda, that's the second time.”
It was the second time she had hurt someone close to him.
