All at once, the main hall fell deadly silent.
Everyone, including Chester, Dax, and the rest, stopped short in shock.
Chester frowned and could not help but exclaim, "Veron, how dare you do something so insolent?!"
He was quite close with the leader of the Lange household, and he could be considered to be Veron's elder.
The Hidden Hero Sect members knew of Veron's feelings for Ambrose, and Chester was no exception to that information.
However, he never would have guessed that Veron would strike Heather over personal affairs like that! It was truly too much.
At the same time, Ambrose could hardly contain his anger as well.
He strode over quickly, dragging Veron to the side by her arm and roaring at her, "You crazy woman! Don't think I won't hit you just because you're the High Lady of the Lange family."
He loved Heather more than anything, and his heart was positively broken at the sight of her being hit.
After that, he turned to caress Heather's face as he asked gently, "Does it hurt?"
Heather shook her head, staring at Veron with an unreadable expression as she did not know what to say all at once. She knew that things would not have ended so easily after what had happened last night, but she never would have guessed that Veron would stoop to such lengths.
"Did I do something wrong?"
Seeing that Ambrose still tried to protect Heather, Veron felt both furious and wrong as she screamed, "This sl*t of a woman seduced you and even had a baby with you! Should I not hit her?"
What?
The main hall became chaotic as the words rang through the air.
Everyone stared at Heather and the child in her arms, nothing but shock on their faces.
What was Veron saying? The child… was Heather's own?
Ambrose was even more enraged as he stared intently at Veron and roared, "What are you talking about? What nonsense is this about having a child? Don't you run your mouth."
He had done absolutely nothing with Heather. How could he let her make up such tall tales?
