Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 119

However, the show must go on!

I figured it out, so I smiled and held Kieran's arm. "Kieran, don't be mad. Today is the 20th anniversary of the Marvin Group. Let's watch the show!"

"Yes, Mr. Charles, please take it easy. It was so thoughtless of me that Rachael got wronged. It will never happen again!" Marvin put on an oily smile and fawned over Kieran.

But Kieran didn't even look at him.

"Dad, it has nothing to do with you. If I hadn't bumped into Mr. Barry and Mr. Lowery, Shania would not have noticed it. Then everything would be fine!" I said indifferently.

...

After I said that, Marvin immediately slapped Shania across the face. The sound filled the whole hall.

"What are you doing?" Shania was almost knocked down. Blood leaked from her mouth. She glared at Marvin in disbelief.

"Dad, why did you do it?" Alicia ran over to support Shania.

I smiled, but pretended to be surprised and worried. "Dad, what are you doing?"

Marvin snorted and glared at Shania. "If it weren't for your nonsense, those two old bastards would have respected Rachael much. Rachael is my daughter!"

Marvin just passed the buck to Shania and shirked his responsibilities. This was his style. Interest was his priority.

Shania turned to glare at me. She knew that she should not say anything now. She clenched her fists and then slapped herself again. "You're right. I said stupid things. Rachael, please don't get mad at me. You know I'm very clumsy!"

Alicia's face was ashen. She supported Shania tightly and stared at me with hatred. I saw it clearly. So, I smiled and walked over. "Shania, no. There are so many people who can testify. I'm just not as pretty and smart as Alicia. You're totally right!" I smiled at Shania and Alicia. "Shania, don't you think so?"

All the guests looked at Shania. They were not stupid. They knew that Shania had belittled me to praise her daughter Alicia. They didn't know the truth just now. So, they all agreed with her to flatter Marlon.

Now they looked at Shania with disdain and began to discuss in a low voice.

"Clumsy? That was deliberate!"

"Yeah. Now she's not clumsy anymore? She becomes a smooth talker!"

"No wonder everyone said that you should not mess with your stepmother. Otherwise, you'll suffer!"

Marvin heard everything. His face went an ugly green as he slapped Shania again. "Remember it. Rachael is my favorite daughter. If you say stupid things again, I will not forgive you!"

Shania was hit again. Rage swelled within her. But she could only grit her teeth and smile. "It's all my fault! I'm so sorry."

"Dad, what are you doing? Stop it!" I persuaded him indifferently.
