It wasn’t some slick–haired nobody who crawled out of nowhere just to run his mouth, slinging insults at Sebastian and even treating their parents‘ tragedy like gossip,

Inside the private room, Noelle couldn’t take another word.

“That’s enough.”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it cut through the air with an icy edge, cutting Chase off mid–rant.

Chase froze. “Ms. Guzman, I’m doing this for your own good…”

“For my own good?” Noelle lifted her gaze, sharp as a blade, fixing it on him. “Who do you think you are, judging my husband? You’re not even qualified to mention him.”

Chase was stunned by her sudden pressure and fell silent.

The next second, Noelle raised her hand.

Smack!

A crisp, vicious slap landed squarely on Chase’s face.

His head snapped to the side, his cheek burning. He clutched his face, eyes wide in disbelief. “Y–you hit me?”

“So what if I did?”

Noelle lowered her hand, looking down at him with cold contempt. “That slap was to teach you to shut your mouth. You don’t get to comment what kind of person my husband is. If I hear even one more word about him come out of your mouth, it won’t stop at just a slap.”

With that, she didn’t spare Chase another glance. She turned around and walked out of the room without looking back.

It took Chase a long moment to react. His face went livid as he shook with rage.

He rushed out after her, but Noelle was already gone.

Fuming, he yanked at his tie and pulled out his phone, calling his mother as he stormed out of the private room. “Mom! Who does that Noelle think she is? Some country bumpkin who was just taken back as a Guzmans‘ daughter, acting like she’s somebody important! She actually dared to hit me! Is this how the Guzmans raise their daughter? I’m not doing this blind date anymore. It’s disgusting!”

He was in the middle of cursing when his vision suddenly went dark.

A rough burlap sack dropped over his head without warning, covering his entire upper body.

“Who the hell–ahh!”

Heavy blows came down immediately, ruthless and precise, aimed at the meatiest spots. The pain was blinding. He screamed like a pig, but with the sack over his head, the sounds came out muffled and ugly.

In the shadows of the hallway, Ethan leaned against the cold wall, expressionless as he watched the sack writhing on the floor.

He didn’t even need to hold a weapon. He simply stood there, calmly observing his men work.

Only when the screams faded into weak groans did Ethan speak. “That’s enough.”

*10 From Ceins

The men stopped at once, pulled the sack off, and dumped the bruised, swollen Chase into a corner like trash before disappearing down the stairwell.

Ethan walked over and looked down at the miserable man on the ground, his gaze cold and devoid of warmth.

“If you can’t keep your mouth clean, you’d better learn fast,” he said quietly, his voice chilling. “The Guzmans‘ daughter isn’t someone you get to gossip about. And Sebastian is a name trash like you doesn’t deserve to say.

“If I ever see you bothering Ms. Charlotte again, or hear you badmouthing Sebastian, I’ll beat you every single time.”

Noelle left the private room with her chest still tight with anger.

Being tricked into a blind date by her own mother in such a disgusting way, and then being forced to listen to that stream of filth about Sebastian, had completely wrecked her mood.

She had just reached the roadside to hail a cab when her phone rang again.

It was Mary.

Noelle stared at the flashing name, took a deep breath, and answered. Her voice was ice–cold. “Hello.”

On the other end, Mary sounded cheerful, clearly pleased with herself. “Noey, you met Chase, right? What do you think? I picked him just for you. The Lancasters may not be on the Guzmans‘ level, but they’re still a well–known family in Kingstowne. Chase is highly educated and looks decent too, much better than Sebastian-”

“Mrs. Guzman,” Noelle cut her off, the mockery in her tone unmistakable. “Using a fake injury to trick me into a blind date, is that what you call being a good mother?”

Mary choked for a moment, then defended herself. “I was just afraid you wouldn’t come! Chase is really a good kid. I’m doing this for you. Sebastian is-”

“My business isn’t yours to worry about.”

Noelle’s voice dropped even colder. “I know my husband better than anyone. As for the ‘good man‘ you so carefully picked, I’ve already met him. He’s nothing but a self–important idiot.”

“How can you say that?” Mary’s voice rose, tinged with hurt and anger. “Everything I do is for your own good! I just want to make it up to you, to give you a good future!”

“Make it up to me?” Noelle sounded like she’d just heard the biggest joke in the world, her tone turning sharp. “For the first 20 years of my life, when I was wandering outside, suffering, where were you? Did you fulfill even one day of a mother’s responsibility? Now that I’m grown and capable of deciding my own life, you come barging in, pointing fingers, using your version of ‘for my own good‘ to control and scheme against me?”

She paused, exhaustion and disappointment bleeding through her words. “Mrs. Guzman, 20 years of missing motherhood can’t be made up for with these self–righteous arrangements and so–called compensation. I don’t need it, and I don’t want it. From now on, please don’t interfere in my life again. That’s all.”
