Everyone was confused.
They all looked at Zion.
Before Leonardo could say anything, Louisa’s expression soured. She let go of Leonardo, slapping Zion across the face.
Smack!
The slap was loud and clear.
It left a mark on Zion’s face.
“Zion, are you crazy? This is Mr. Logan. You should be on your knees apologizing to him!”
After that, she turned to look at Leonardo apologetically. “I’m so sorry, Leonardo. It’s my fault. I failed to keep him in line. He’ll get it when we get home.”
“Hmph.”
Leonardo hmphed coldly.
Louisa hit Zion. To add salt to injury, she insulted him in public. He was furious.
“Who knew that Zion would have no standing at all?”
“Exactly. Louisa slapped him just like that, and even said that he’d get it at home.”
“She’s so beautiful. Why did she marry him?”
“I heard that Louisa was a call girl. After she earned enough, she was just looking for an honest man to take her in.”
“Do you think she let Zion touch her after they got married?”
Everyone started whispering.
Even though the voices were soft, Zion still heard them.
Louisa heard them too, but she did not care.
“Louisa, I want a divorce.”
Zion shouted, his fists clenched. His eyes were red.
“How dare you, Zion! This won’t work. Men want me. What about you? Besides me, who else would marry you?”
When Louisa heard that he wanted a divorce, she got angry. She prepared to pull Zion’s ear.
Zion slapped her in return.
“B*tch.”
He slapped her hard.
Louisa was slapped senseless.
She swayed on the spot and fell to the ground.
Everyone stepped backward to give them space.
James glanced at Leonardo. “This is my gift to Zion. What has it got to do with you?”
They were on the first floor of the steamboat restaurant.
Many people were there.
Everyone was more confused than ever. Who was the person behind the cash and presents?
Could it be James?
Unlikely. He was the Callahans’ son-in-law who lived off them. Furthermore, the Callahans had just narrowly avoided a crisis of their own. They had no more money left. Where would James get the money?
After thinking about it, everyone looked at him disdainfully.
“Zion, look at the company you keep.”
“Apologize to Louisa now, and you may still be able to save your marriage.”
“Hurry up!”
Louisa’s girlfriends started to gloat.
They wanted to see if Zion would apologize on his knees.
“Hmph.”
Louisa looked dismissive. “Have you looked in the mirror? Millions worth of cash and presents. How would you afford it?”
