Twins and Ex-wife novel Chapter 229

Christ knew that he had slapped Kiki not because he felt sorry for Penny, but more because he could not see Kiki, who had always been submissive to him, suddenly being so wild in front of him.

But after the slap, Christ regretted it.

He felt as if, with that slap, he had broken something.

It was as if, he had been chasing something so bitterly that, already, it was hard to get, and now with this slap, he had shattered that something so much that it could never be put back together again.

Christ involuntarily tightened his fingers as he struggled to grasp something, but suddenly didn't know how to do so.

This slap from Christ was so hard that it made Kiki's mouth bleed from the corner.

Kiki, however, felt no pain, and she continued to smile in a flirtatious and charming way.

This was the man she had loved for half her life!

She gathered the clothes on her body, still cold. If she was cold, she could just put on more clothes, but if she was cold in her heart, she could not warm up.

Kiki's eyes coolly swept past Christ's body, and suddenly, she fiercely turned around and rushed towards the outside of the room with quick steps.

Her speed was so fast that Christ's outstretched hand could not grab her wrist.

Christ wanted to call Kiki back, but before he could shout out Kiki's name, Penny flung herself into his arms in tears, unable to catch her breath.

"Christ, it hurts ......"

Penny was so aggrieved that she kept sobbing like a child who had suffered a great deal of grievances. She pressed her head against Christ’ chest, “Christ, on what ground can Kiki bully me. I really feel so bad inside!"

Penny blinked her eyes, crystal clear teardrops dampening Christ's chest.

She thought that since she was crying so hard, Christ would have to comfort her, for he had already stood up to teach Kiki a lesson for her sake.

Surprisingly, he didn't even stroke her back, soothingly.

He pushed her away, and in his voice, there was not a hint of tenderness, "Penny, get out! Leave me alone."

"Christ ......"

Penny reluctantly called out Christ's name, but Christ simply pushed the door open and invited Penny out.

Penny was so hateful that she almost gnashed her teeth, but Christ had already decided to ignore her, and she could not throw herself into his arms in a petulant manner.

She stomped her foot in hatred and could only leave in frustration.

As Penny had just left, Christ's mobile phone rang.

It was his assistant who called.

Somewhat surprised that his assistant would call at this time, Christ frowned and picked up the phone.

Christ's assistant was a sunny young man, but at this moment, there was a distinct heaviness in his voice.

"Mr. Birkin, when Miss Hartsell was in prison, someone used your name to commit violence against her."

Christ's hand was suddenly hard, almost crushing the phone in his hand, "Violence?"

"Right." The special assistant's voice, with obvious regret and a touch of indescribable anger, "Miss Hartsell endured almost five years of prison violence."
