Freya slapped Leland across the face.
Leland was stunned, frozen in his tracks. Perhaps he hadn't expected Freya to strike him. At that moment, Leland was speechless.
"Mr. Ramsey, I'll leave him in your hands. As for the Dawson family, my word is final. Please don't worry about sparing our family's dignity. Teach him a lesson."
At first, the Ramsey family intended to let it slide, considering Freya's engagement to the Sutton family.
However, Leland suddenly shouted, "Bullshit! I dare any of you to touch me! I'm Kieran's future brother-in-law! Lay a finger on me, and the Sutton family will never let you off!"
Hearing Leland's outrageous claim, Mr. Ramsey's anger flared, "My daughter hasn't faced an ounce of unfairness while I've been around. Today, Leland, you had the nerve to mess with her. Don't blame me for not considering our families' relations!"
With that, Mr. Ramsey signaled his bodyguard to take action. In the blink of an eye, the bodyguard's taser hit Leland's leg. Leland felt a severe pain and screamed, writhing on the ground.
"My son!" Johanna hadn't expected the Ramsey family to intervene physically. She rushed over to check on Leland's condition.
Seeing Leland unable to stand, Johanna glared at the Ramsey family, exclaiming, "It is the Dawson family's gathering! How dare you lay hands here! No matter what, we're future in-laws to the Sutton family! There's a saying, 'Even when you beat a dog, you must look at its owner!' You've gone too far!"
Johanna whipped around to look at Freya, "Freya, are you really gonna stand by while your brother gets hassled? What kind of sister does that make you!"
Freya replied indifferently, "Johanna, Leland brought this upon himself. He must face the consequences. I've handed him over to the Ramsey family. Please, let's not lose any more dignity for our family."
