Lachlan's slap, although he had held back some of his strength, still made Penelope dizzy. On the side of her face were five large finger marks.
At that moment, everyone was stunned and confused! No one expected Lachlan to be so arrogant as to slap Penelope in the face.
Penelope sat on the ground, holding her face and slowly getting up. She looked shocked and stunned.
"You... how dare you hit me?" Her voice became high-pitched as she pointed at Lachlan and shouted.
As the granddaughter of a famous doctor and Jieyson University's campus belle, she had never been slapped before by anyone. Every man who saw her would try their best to please her. But today, this man in front of her actually slapped her in public?
Penelope glared at Lachlan with eyes that could kill if looks could do so; he would have been cut into pieces by now.
"Jerk! How dare you hit me!"
"Are you even a man for hitting a woman?"
"You're such an uncivilized scumbag for hitting a woman!"
Penelope gritted her teeth as tears filled up in anger and frustration in her eyes.
Maxwell and other rich second generations also looked surprised; they couldn't believe what just happened. The slap left them all dazed.
Lachlan sneered coldly, "Being civilized is only reserved for reasonable women! As for trash like you... you deserve nothing but a good smack across your face!"
"I've been restraining myself from doing this until now because I thought I could control my temper around people like you."
"But it seems like I was wrong."
From start to finish, Lachlan had no intention of stooping to her level. Regardless of what Penelope and her friends said about him being poor or making him take a taxi, it was all within Lachlan's tolerance.
While their actions carried a sense of disdain and contempt, it didn't amount to excessive humiliation.
However, when this girl took out a dog leash just now to humiliate him, that changed everything altogether!
He couldn't tolerate it anymore; he needed to teach this girl how humans should behave!
In Lachlan's mindset, there was never a concept of not hitting women. He had never considered himself a gentleman. Apart from facing his wife and child, he saw himself as a thug.
If someone provoked him, he'd strike back, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, treating everyone equally.
"Jerk! You're such an asshole!"
Penelope felt the fiery pain on her cheek from the slap, and the internal humiliation and grievance made her burst into tears. Pointing at Lachlan, she cursed through gritted teeth, her voice trembling with anger and a changed tone.
At this moment, Maxwell and the other rich kids, as well as the security guards, snapped out of their daze. They all glared at Lachlan with fury in their eyes.
"Damn it! You piece of crap actually dared to hit Penelope? I'll make sure you pay for it!"
"Hit him! Beat him to death! I'll cover for you if anything happens!"
Maxwell pointed at Lachlan and barked orders at the security guards.
"Yes! Kill him!"
"What the hell is wrong with this guy? How dare he hit Penelope?"
"He even hits women. Is he even a man?"
"Make sure he can't be a man anymore."
The other rich kids also shouted angrily, full of momentum as they joined forces with the security guards to surround Lachlan.
Lachlan looked at these people with disdain in his eyes. In the next second, he slapped them one by one.
Smack! Smack! Smack...
Clear slapping sounds rang out along with flying figures. Like swatting flies, Lachlan slapped away these rich kids and security guards one by one.
For a moment, onlookers were all shocked and stunned as they watched this scene unfold before them.
