Several women of different ages stepped forward. In the blink of an eye, they began to slap Sasha repeatedly, striking her on both sides of her face unceasingly.
A woman exclaimed, “You shameless wretch! How could you utter such words?”
“You have rotten and corrupted morals, born with a despicable nature. Yet you dare to make such promises. If you can stay faithful, I’ll write my name backward!” another criticized.
A third woman remarked, “What’s this? Weren’t you head over heels for that illegitimate child earlier? Now you’re clinging to my nephew like a lifeline? Have you finally realized who can truly bring you happiness? You sure are cunning.”
“Why are you so hell–bent on clinging to Roland? Are you a relentless leech?” someone questioned.
Another woman criticized, “Where do you get your confidence from, thinking that Roland could still. accept someone as tainted as you? Roland is so exceptional, with countless girls smitten by him, If it wasn’t for Roland’s being emotionally attached, who would even spare someone like you a second glance?
“Oh my goodness! Are you even worthy? Are you out of your mind?” another voice exclaimed.
Someone else said, “Being able to be Roland’s girlfriend is a testament to the good deeds of your ancestors. Unfortunately, your lack of virtue shows you were born without such luck!”
They were all women from Daphne’s natal family. Given Daphne’s poor health and Roland’s refusal to hit women, it was up to them to take action.
They were careful not to go too far. Sasha was pregnant, and they couldn’t risk a life. Hence, they resolved to aim at her face only with measured force. It was meant to shame, not to harm the brain.
Every slap was followed by a curse, much like a symphony.
Sasha was completely unable to keep up, reduced to a state of utter distress as she wept, pleading for them
to stop.
Watching this satisfying scene unfold, all the onlookers were inexplicably thrilled. After all, this woman had been constantly stammering, spouting nothing but nonsense. It was about time someone set her straight, and they were itching to do so.
Startled by the sharp sound of the slaps, Isabella instinctively recoiled.
Alexander naturally wrapped his arms around the shrinking Isabella, sheltering her in his embrace. He then heard his wife murmur, “Do you think she’ll feel good by those hits since she fell in love with someone who hits her? Could it be that she doesn’t like Roland because he never lays a hand on her?”
Alexander couldn’t hold it back and burst out laughing.
Isabella felt a vibration emanating from the chest pressed against her back. The rhythm of it gradually seeped in, causing her to pause momentarily. It was then that she realized she was in Alexander’s embrace.
Once she had processed it, Isabella felt an uncontrollable flush spread across her cheeks before desire

I’m not taking advantage of the situation, desiring to feel his abs and chest. I’m merely worried the saliva from the slaps would splash onto me.
Momentarily stunned, Alexander could feel the heat creeping onto his face. However, he finally understood the importance of seizing the moment and gradually tightened his embrace. The intoxicating warmth and tender softness of the person in his arms were overwhelming.
He wondered if Isabella could feel the quickening of his heartbeat.
Due to the spectacle unfolding over there, the Quirks missed the opportunity to savor the public display of affection, assuming that Isabella was merely commenting on the situation. Their eyes were solely fixated on the slapping spectacle.
After roughly twenty slaps, Sasha’s face was so swollen that she could only drool. It was only then that the women stopped.
Yet, she still gazed at Roland tearfully.
Roland furrowed his brows. At the thought of how his past demeanor had led Sasha to take him for an easy mark, he was so frustrated that he wanted to hit himself. How could I have been so foolish?
“You falling in love with someone who bullies you is your own business, and I have no right to criticize. Indulge in your peculiar fetish as you please, but why involve me in your love game? It’s beyond what might call heartless. Sasha, I’ll treat our past as gone to waste,” he said.
With trembling, swollen lips, Sasha finally turned to look at Ethan, then passed out in tears.
Even so, no one felt sympathy for her.
Roland immediately arranged for an ambulance before having the housekeepers pack all of Sasha’s personal belongings to hand over to Ethan.
Ethan was about to storm off, but Roland’s police colleagues and his cousins who were soldiers held him. back until the ambulance arrived. Sasha was loaded into it, and Ethan was also escorted inside.
When the nurse inquired about the situation apprehensively, someone said, “This is the father of the child the woman is carrying.”
Ethan desperately tried to resist, his eyes blazing as he glared at Roland, His gaze seemed to say, “Just you
wait!”
However, Roland didn’t bother to spare him a glance. From a distance, Stephanie felt her heart shatter as she watched Ethan with his ugly behavior fully exposed. She couldn’t stop regretting her blindness that led to her choice until Selena stepped forward with the Quirks to console her.
In the end, Alfred went along, arranged by the troubled Owen. After all, Sasha and Roland no longer had anything to do with one another, so he couldn’t let the latter go.
Despite everything. Sasha still carried the Ford family’s child in her womb, and that couldn’t be ignored.
Once the troublemakers had left, Daphne approached Roland, saying, “Roland, don’t blame me for revealing everything in such a way and embarrassing you. I did it out of fear that your soft heart would continue to be deceived by this despicable woman, I had to cut off the connection. Moreover, if I hadn’t taken this opportunity to make it public and told you secretly later, and you divorced, people would have criticized our family for treating a pregnant woman so poorly. I can’t let people blindly speculate that you

abandoned your wife and child. It’s them who wronged you. Embarrassment doesn’t matter as long ast their true colors can be exposed and your innocence is proven! In this way, you can still find a good girl in the future.”
With a wry smile, Roland replied, “Thank you, Mom, for showing me the truth. And it is as it is. I was foolish, and any embarrassment I’ve suffered is well–deserved. Also, if we keep this under wraps, no one will know the misdeeds committed by that illegitimate child. Our Ford family will surely hide everything for the sake of their reputation. As time passes, that illegitimate child might even act as if nothing had happened and be accepted back into the Ford family, acknowledging his lineage. I cannot let someone who set you up get away with it.”
Upon seeing Daphne’s visibly drained face, yet noticing her painstaking efforts to consider his best interests, Roland was overwhelmed with heartache.
