Chapter 494
She was more agitated the more she spoke.She hated the fact that she couldn't immediately let everyone know about Jean's indiscretions.
Jean had gotten pregnant out of wedlock.
Sherry wanted to see if the men who stuck their heads out for Jean would still like her so much.
"If you kneel and beg me, perhaps I will consider sparing you once.Just like how Gigi knelt in front of me back then and begged me to give her a way out."
Sherry was very proud of herself.
"It's a shame that she was so unlucky and was injected with...
‘Smack’ Jean rushed over and slapped Sherry.
Without waiting for Sherry to come to her senses from her shock, it was like Jean had gone mad.She lifted the hem of Sherry's exquisitely designed skirt and pulled with force.
The hem of the handmade skirt fell in response.
"Ah!"
Sherry's piercing cries surrounded the main lobby.She had never imagined, not even in her dreams that Jean would hit her in public.Her cries attracted the attention of all the guests.
Ben rushed from the back along with the Summer family.
"What's going on? Jean, what did you do to my daughter?"
Mrs.Summer was the first to see the situation.She immediately supported Sherry and used a shawl to cover her face.She cried out in an alarmed voice, "The Summer family invited you with good intentions.We wanted to clear up our misunderstandings and bury the hatchet.Sherry even made a supreme effort to recommend your company so that Pinnacle Group would invest in you, but...you're biting the hand that feeds you!"
Mrs.Summer said plainly as it she had been present.
Without waiting for the two involved persons to say anything, it was determined that Jean was at fault.
The current scene also seemed like Jean was to blame.
Only Sherry was hit and made to look like a fool.
In contrast, Jean was unscathed.
"Get rid of this woman at once! The Summer family will never work with someone like this."
Bernard cried out sharply at the side.
As soon as he said it, bodyguards went forward.
"I want to see who has the nerve to lay a hand on her"
Ben shielded her at once.
A tall figure stood far away.His cold eyes were fixed on Jean from the beginning until the end.
"Mom, I'm so humiliated."
Sherry's crying grew louder.
In the crowd, someone said, "No matter what, you can't hit others."
In an instant, everyone sympathized with Sherry.
Only Ben stood by Jean.Her thin figure seemed so lonely.
Bernard's face was cold.
"Mr.Ludwig, this is a matter between the Summer family and Jean.You shouldn't get involved."
He left the last part unsaid.So as not to affect the future of the Ludwig family.
With Pinnacle Group's power, they could, indeed, suppress the Ludwig family.
They could even create obstacles for the Ludwig family, both openly and privately.
If it was someone else, they would have drawn a line between themselves and Jean, but Ben was stubborn.
"You want to chase her away before the matter is cleared up.Mr.Summer, are you afraid that the truth isn't beneficial to Ms.Summer?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? My daughter has been bullied in such a state.This is enough proof.This maniac came to the Summer family's dinner banquet to beat my daughter up.Don't tell me that we're at fault?"
Mrs.Summer was brought up in a good family, and she spoke eloquently.She wanted to pour the dirty water on Jean.
Ben was about to speak when Jean stopped him.
Mrs.Summer raised her brows slightly.
The matter was within her grasp.
All she had to do was chase Jean away, and then she wouldn't have to think about easing the relationship between them in the future.Everyone would also know the scope of their patience.
But the matter couldn't go according to Mrs.Summer's way just yet.
