The guests were not far away. When they heard the commotion, they immediately gathered around.
"Honey!" Jett's wife rushed over and helped him up. "What happened?"
"Ouch, it hurts." Holding his wife's arm, Jett slowly climbed to his feet. Beads of sweat covered his forehead.
He opened his mouth to curse once again.
"Damn you! You won't get away with this!" Jett glared at John with righteous indignation.
Jett's wife also cursed, "What the hell is wrong with you? You're just a bodyguard. How could you hit my husband? We can get you fired this instant!"
Jett and his wife stared at John for a long time, but John didn't so much as budge.
As the host, Vicente had already noticed what was going on, but she just watched the show and did not intervene until it was almost over.
"What's going on here?" she asked, pretending to have seen nothing.
"Vicente, look at what your man did to your cousin." Jett's wife seized the opportunity and began to berate Vicente. "What if he broke Jett's finger? What if he broke Jett's leg? Can he afford it?"
Vicente glanced at Jett's finger and leg and answered indifferently, "Sean takes his job very seriously, but he doesn't do much damage to people who aren't that threatening. Your husband will be fine. His finger and leg will recover way ahead of his dignity."
"You..." Vicente's snide comment infuriated Jett. His cousin was getting bolder and bolder since marrying the princess.
Jett wished he could trample and insult Vicente like he did when they were children.
But he thought that it was better not to say anything too harsh in front of so many people.
However, Jett could not swallow his anger, so he pulled his wife by the hand. After two years of being a married couple, they had already built a tacit understanding between them. She quickly understood what her husband meant.
"Shouldn't you care about your cousin's injury, Vicente? Why do you care more about your bodyguard?" Jett's wife asked. "In the past, you at least pretended to respect Jett in front of outsiders. Since you married the princess, you've been nothing but a bully to us. What you're doing is really vexing."
Hearing this, Vicente was speechless.
She thought that her cousin and his wife were really good at confusing right and wrong.
Before Vicente could say anything, Jett's wife continued, "But anyway, Princess Nina is now a member of the Nangong family. Her status should be equal to ours..."
Vicente could not stand it anymore and interrupted, "Wait! Stop steering away from the matter at hand. We're not talking about my wife here. Sean won't beat people for no reason. He'll either defend himself or protect the twins."
Then, she turned to the crowd and announced, "Everyone is to continue addressing Nina as the princess. Her status isn't lowered by our marriage."
Hearing this, the others were in an uproar.
They did not expect that Vicente did not care that his status was lower than his wife's.
They all thought that Vicente doted on Nina too much.
Jett and his wife looked at Vicente as if they had seen a ghost.
At this moment, John stared at Vicente with a complicated look in his eyes.
'You don't have to thank me.'
Thinking of this, Vicente raised her eyebrows at John.
After getting along with John for a period of time, Vicente found that he hated anyone who called Nina the countess.
She thought that now that they had children at home, they must create a warm and beautiful familial atmosphere, and in order to make that happen, there should be no room for jealousy.
Everything working out depended on how much harmony they could generate and sustain.
