Even if Holley had seen people saying silly, she had never seen anyone acted like Judith.
She humiliated her, and she framed her own father by the way.
Holley felt ridiculous in her heart, but she managed not to laugh. She just raised her head coldly and said, "Mr. Xia, I'm always magnanimous. But your daughter has gone too far. "
She was just putting on airs by just saying so.
If she didn't fight back when people pointed at her nose and scolded her, she would be bullied to death in the future.
But to Holley's surprise, Mr. Xia ran to his daughter and slapped her across the face.
"Nonsense! How could you slander Mrs. Holley like that?"
He scolded his daughter more harshly. He also slapped her with all his strength.
It took only a few seconds that Judith's face swelled up with bruises. There were clear fingerprints on her face.
"Dad, you've gone too far!"
With these thoughts in her mind, Judith cried and ran out.
Mrs. Xia took a look at her husband and then ran after her hurriedly.
Mr. Xia didn't stop her. He once again politely apologized to Holley, "Mrs. Holley, after I go home, I must hang up my daughter. Please don't take it to heart. I am going to give her a lesson now. "
He pretended to be annoyed, simply told the others a few words, and chased after his wife leaving the banquet hall.
Outside the banquet hall, Mr. and Mrs. Xia couldn't find their daughter.
Mrs. Xia then lowered her head with tears and grumbled hitting the chest of her husband, "how could you hit our daughter?"
"Honey."
Mr. Xia sighed heavily. He didn't explain anything more. He told the bodyguards to look for his daughter, and then pulled Mrs. Xia back to the car. Then they talked about what happened tonight without any other's presence.
"I also don't want to hit Judith. It hurts so much in my heart when I hit her. But I have no choice. Do you know? What happened in the party startled Mr. Ron. He called in person. He said that there would be no Xia family in N City if things didn't go well. I have no choice. I just wanted to apologize to her and take Judith away. But how could Judith say such unreasonable words?"
Mr. Xia kept heaving a sigh and said, "Now that Mrs. Holley has shown her true identity, Judith is confused. But why did you come with her?"
"Honey, it's my fault. I failed to stop her. But as you said, Mr. Ron has always doted on that Linda. Who would have thought that Mrs. Holley would still be loved and respected after she was released from prison for murdering her own husband just after married?"
Mrs. Xia also felt bitter.
If she had decisively stopped her daughter just now, all these things would not have happened.
But what she said was true. If she hadn't thought that Mrs. Holley wouldn't be spoiled, she wouldn't let her daughter act on impulse.
"With things as such, it's no use talking about it any more. Honey, I hit Judith just to protect her. At least I won't hurt her. If I don't do it, I'm afraid that Mr. Ron will not just give her a slap. You should tell Judith how important this is after you find her. She is a smart girl. She would understand. Besides, keep an eye on her and don't let her leave home anymore."
Mr. Xia then ordered and made arrangement.
Mrs. Xia asked with a bad premonition, "Honey, what about you?"
