Chapter 12 Alexander Disciplined Colleen
Easton stepped forward and gave Colleen a dozen of slaps.
"Aaaah." The house was filled with her screaming. No one dared to step forward. Even None of them dared to stop him.
Seeing what was happening, the Tylers did not dare to say a word for fear that they would get themselves in trouble.
"Mom, mom, help me!" Colleen cried for help.
Allison didn't dare to say a word, and she could do nothing but watch her daughter's face being beaten swollen. The blood flew out from the corners of her mouth and her nose was bleeding as well.
Easton showed no mercy and slapped her hard.
From his perspective, there was no statement that men couldn't beat women and his boss' command was above everything else.
There were eighteen slaps in total.
After being slapped, Colleen sat limply on the ground. She didn't dare to touch her face at all and felt the burning sensation. Her eyes were full of fear. She couldn't even speak clearly. "Mom, it hurts. My face hurts."
"Coley." Allison hugged her daughter with her heart aching for Colleen.
Colleen's cheeks were swollen on both sides and the five finger prints could be clearly seen.
Florence swallowed and felt it too miserable.
As expected, Alexander was as cruel as the rumors said, and he would have no compassion for women.
It seemed that the rumors that the first three wives of him were tortured to death were true. Fortunately, Florence did not marry him.
But how could Florence recognize Alexander in front her was her boyfriend who she got along day and night?
She just found his voice sounded a bit familiar, but she quickly negated the thoughts in her mind thinking that their names were just the same.
Alexander was a lame who was sitting in a wheelchair. Besides, his face was disfigured. How could it be possible that he was her boyfriend?
Florence stared at Alexander. This was the first time she had seen Alexander who she had heard a lot from others.
She was wondering how he looked like before his face got disfigured.
Alexander looked sick. He looked at Lincoln, coughed and then said, "Mr. Scott, do you think this is going too far?"
"No, no." Lincoln didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
He was like a coward and wasn't as proud as looked when he taught Florence a lesson just now. "I need to thank you for disciplining my unfilial daughter. Coley has a big mouth, so she should be given a lesson."
"Mr. Scott, you are quite reasonable." Alexander's tone was cold and then he looked at Florence.
He asked although he knew the answer, "who is she?"
"This is my eldest daughter, Florence." Lincoln observed Alexander's reaction and tried to guess what Alexander was thinking.
Lincoln was very smart. He didn't tell Alexander too much about Florence. He winked at Florence signaling Florence to leave quickly.
Now that the Logan family had broken off the engagement, it meant that they didn't want Florence anymore.
As long as they could deal with the present situation, the marriage between the Scott family and the Tyler family could continue.
Why would Florence do as Lincoln wish?
"Dad, since the marriage between the Scott family and the Tyler family is such a big event, you must invite Mr. Logan to the wedding. Although I did not marry Mr. Logan and the Scott family and the Logan family can't become relatives, in terms of etiquette, shouldn't the Logans be invited too?"
Florence said it deliberately. She was betting that Alexander would speak for her.
Even if her marriage was rejected by the Logan family, she almost married to Alexander.
Even if the Logan family didn't want her, she couldn't marry a fool in such a short time. Wasn't it just like a slap in the face of the Logan family?
It was also an insult to compare the person in charge of the Logan family with a fool.
Alexander curled his lips slightly thinking that she was really smart.
As soon as Florence finished talking, Lincoln's expression changed.
Before he could say a word, Alexander smiled with casualness in his voice. "Oh? A marriage between the Scott family and the Tyler family? When did it happen?"
Alexander asked. His casual tone sent shivers up and down Lincoln's and Graham 's spine.
Seeing the true colors of Allison and Colleen, Graham and his wife were furious.
"A the Cooper familyke you is out of my son's league. If you didn't come to our home and ask for the marriage, we will not come here." Mrs. Tyler said angrily, "You are so vicious and scheming at such a young age. She is not worthy of being the Tyler family's daughter-in-law. I feel so sad for the Hudson family to have such a daughter-in-law."
Graham's face looked so bad and he said, "Mr. Scott, you do have a good daughter and a good wife."
Lincoln hastily apologized, "Mr. Tyler, Mrs. Tyler, please calm down."
Lincoln was almost pissed off by his wife and daughter thinking that they were speaking with no concern and had completely offended the Tyler family.
"I think the cooperation we just talked about has to be dropped. We are leaving." Graham said and then he said goodbye to Alexander, "Mr. Logan, let's get some coffee together sometime. I have got stuff to handle, so I gotta go."
Alexander said coldly, "Goodbye, Mr. Tyler."
Lincoln said anxiously, "Mr. Tyler. Mr. Tyler." Graham left with his wife with anger.
Knowing that they had completely offended the Tyler family, Lincoln gave Allison a fierce look.
Both Allison and Colleen were outraged with a boiling fury swelled inside them. They intended to throw Florence under the bus, but in turned out that they brought trouble upon themselves while there was nothing happening on Florence.
They blamed all this on Florence, and their hatred for Florence deepened.
Even if Lincoln was angry, he couldn't lose his temper right now since Alexander was still here.
He had already offended the Tyler family, so he couldn't afford to offend the Logan family.
After Graham left, Lincoln was so nervous that his palms were full of cold sweat, and he said and trembled with fear, "Mr. Logan, why are you coming here today?"
Lincoln still had no idea about the purpose of Alexander's coming.
Alexander set eyes on Florence.
Lincoln also looked at Florence confusedly.
Was he here for Florence?
Alexander still wanted to marry her?
