Chapter 71 An Overgrown Baby
“I said, apologize!”
“In your dreams!” Yvonne still wasn’t scared. “I’m the daughter of a family that’s actually rich and powerful. Apologizing to an old lady like you? You must be crazy!”
Hestia seized Yvonne’s collar and slapped her again. “The insolence!”
Yvonne had pissed her off so much that Hestia wanted to slap her a third time, but the former dodged her hand.
Grace discreetly gave Hestia a thumbs–up and whispered to her, “Nice one, Aunt Hestia.”
“Of course. I can take care of trash like her quickly enough, can’t 1?” Hestia smiled back “All you have to do is stand back when I’m around.”
Grace felt like she was loved unconditionally, seeing how Hestia had defended her, and her gaze was filled with adoration.
Now, this was what family was supposed to be like. She didn’t need to curry favor by trading gifts for affection, and they would stand up for her even if she hadn’t done anything for them.
Meanwhile, the slap had been so forceful that Yvonne needed to lean on a nearby pillar to regain her footing. It had also drawn a huge crowd.
With a hand to her cheek, Yvonne called out for her eldest brother, Joe Quine. She spoke with a weakened voice and teary eyes as she pointed to Hestia. “She hit me, Joe!”
Joe was about to stand up for his sister after she got hit in public. But when he looked in the direction she was pointing, his rage immediately gave way to a flattering smile.
These were important people that he couldn’t afford to offend.
“I’m sorry, we’ve made a mistake. We’ll leave immediately! Please don’t be angry.” Joe’s tone was as humble as it could get.
“What are you apologizing for? She hit me! We need to settle this!”
“Shut up!” Joe roared.
As the crowd of onlookers grew, Joe became worried that Hestia would get angry. So he hastily tried to drag Yvonne aside and thought about making a proper apology later on.
However, Yvonne stubbornly refused to move. “I don’t care. I want this old lady to apologize
to me.”
At that moment, b*dyguards wearing suits and sunglasses walked over to Hestia respectfully. Shall we escort them out, madam?”

“No need, just let them embarrass themselves,” Hestia instructed coolly. “I don’t think they can cause that much trouble, anyway.”
“Understood.” The b*dyguards stood behind her, unmoving.
It was only then that Yvonne finally realized something “Joe, who is she? Why are they calling her ‘madam‘?”
“Who else can it be? She’s Madam Fulton of Fulton Group!” Joe said.
Then, he tugged on Yvonne’s arm again. “What are you standing there for? You just insulted someone at their own exhibition! Move!”
