After saying that, Grace went back to the private room, grabbed her handbag, and left.
Jaylene held her face as her eyes turned red.
Keegan handed a tissue to her and whispered, "Are you okay?”
She felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Darcie, who stood next to them, lost control of her emotions and pushed Keegan away.
Keegan lost his balance, stumbled, and hit himself against the wall. Then, his face turned pale as he winced in pain. Jaylene became anxious. "Mom! What are you doing?"
Aldor, who had just "coincidentally" settled the bill, saw what happened and rushed over to help Keegan. ' Mrs. Saun, what is this all about?" he spoke in a slightly angry tone.
Jaylene looked distressed and wanted to check on Keegan. However, before she could get any closer, Darcie slapped her in the same spot where Jessie had just hit her. "If you dare to walk over there, I'll disown you and never want to see your face ever again!"
Darcie slapped her hard. She had slapped Jaylene before for not doing well in her academics or for saying the wrong things in public, but never as harshly as now.
As the slap landed, Jaylene's ears buzzed. She looked at Darcie in disbelief as more tears welled up in her eyes.
Keegan seemed like he could not bear seeing Jaylene being slapped and softly explained while Aldor held him up, "Darcie, Jaylene is an adult now and has the right to be with whoever she wants. You shouldn't force her like this."
Darcie refuted with a cold face, "Mr. Kane, how | educate my daughter is none of your concern. Please stay away from my daughter from now on! Stop bothering her with everything. If you don’t like her, don’t give her hope!”
