His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 284

The curtain had just fallen on one uproarious event, and another was about to be staged.

At this moment, Frederic and Thaddeus were both out, which made the old saying come to mind ‘When the cat’s away, the mice will play!

Glynnis was convinced that Marilla had tipped off their grandfather, so she stormed into her room, grabbed her hair and dragged her all the way to the living room. She had indeed learned a thing or two from the way their father humiliated Thaddeus carlier, and she wasn’t afraid to showcase her newfound knowledge. “Glynnis, let go, my head hurts so much!” Marilla’s eyes filled with tears, feeling as if her scalp was about to be torn off.

“Traitor‘ You feel pain, huh? Good! Today, as your sister, I’m going to teach you a lesson for your treachery!”

As Glynnis spat out insults, she lifted her arm and slapped Marilla across the face.

“Ah!”

A crisp sound echoed, startling the housemaids.

They watched in horror as Marilla, so frail and delicate, was knocked to the ground.

Everyone was on edge, their eyes red with anger, but as staff of the Abernathy family, they dare not interfere with the family’s affairs. They could only be angry but not speak out.

“Glynnis. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry! I won’t do it again!” Marilla covered her face and sobbed uncontrollably.

She knew at this moment, no one would come to her aid.

She wanted to fight back, but her body felt as weak as dough, completely unable to resist.

Glynnis was the granddaughter cherished by their grandfather, the daughter doted on by their parents. What could she use to fight against her?

Her sister–in–law could afford to leave, but not her. She had no choice but to stay in this house! So she had to endure and swallow her words. This was Marilla’s law of survival.

“Miss Marilla! Miss Marilla!”

Linda ran over, crying, and knelt beside Marilla, holding her in her arms, “Miss Glynnis! You are both Mr. Frederic’s daughters, what gives you the right to bully Miss Marilla?”

“What?”

Glynnis laughed at this, one hand on her hip, her gaze fierce, “Idiot, I didn’t expect you to make a friend in this house.”

“Linda, don’t worry about me, just go!”

Marilla knew her sister could do anything, and she was afraid she couldn’t protect Linda, so she hurriedly covered Linda’s mouth.

“I won’t leave!”

Linda hugged Marilla tightly, her eyes red and full of tears, staring at Glynnis, “Even if I have to work here, even if I can’t stay in Elmsworth anymore, I won’t leave! Miss Glynnis! Do you know you’ve broken the law! You shouldn’t have hit anyone, even if Miss Marilla is your sister. Hitting people is illegal!”

“Funny! What a joke! Who are you to talk to me like that?”

Glynnis burst into laughter, walked over and kicked Linda in the shoulder, knocking her to the ground, “I did hit her, what are you going to do about it? Why don’t you go tell on me?”

Linda fell to the ground, her shoulder felt as if it was about to shatter!

The servants around were all furious, some wanted to step in, but were stopped by others..

They knew the Abernathy Group had a lot of power in Elmsworth. If they acted impulsively, they might not be able to stay in Elmsworth anymore!

Even though they were angry, they were just ordinary servants, they had to consider their own and their families‘ futures..

Marilla could endure being hit herself, but seeing Linda being hit awakened a deep rage within her, causing her normally clear eyes to turn red.

“What? You dare to call me by my name?”

Glynnis was shocked by her sister’s unprecedented anger.

“For a mere servant, this fool dares to defy me, has she gone mad?”

“You hurt Linda. Apologize to her now!”

Marilla slowly stood up, her frail shoulders trembling with anger, her gaze as sharp as a knife, filled with a chilling coldness.

This was unprecedented, unseen before!

“Apologize? You must be dreaming!”

However, before Glynnis could finish her sentence, Marilla, like a bull enraged, let out a roar and charged at Glynnis with all her strength.

The speed was too fast, no one had time to react, she sent Glynnis stumbling backward.

Then, Glynnis sat down heavily on the ground, like a turtle flipped over, her legs up in the air, almost flashing everyone.

The surrounding servants couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

“Manilla!” Glynnis was so angry she could hardly breathe.

She quickly scrambled up from the ground, her face red with embarrassment and anger. She wished she could tear Marilla to pieces!

“Quick, come here! Hold her down! Quick!”

At Miss Manilla’s command, two burly maids who usually served her and Elspeth hurried over and held Marilla up.

“Let go! Let me go!” Marilla’s eyes were red, she struggled fiercely.

But she was too weak to resist, her feet already off the ground.

“Bitch! No one is able to save you today!”

Glynnis’s eyes were bloodshot, she rolled up her sleeves and rushed over, lifting her arm to hit Marilla like she was beating an enemy, she slapped Marilla hard on the left cheek.

“Um!”

Marilla was in such pain that her vision went black. She moaned lowly, her thin nightdress soaked with cold sweat.

Seeing her in pain, Glynnis suddenly felt very satisfied.

She finally vented the anger that had been pent up inside her chest on Marilla’s frail body.

“One cheek blush is not pretty, let me give you another one!”

As she said this, Glynnis raised her hand, ready to slap Marilla’s other cheek.

“Try touching her one more time!”

A voice as cold as ice and as sharp as thunder suddenly rang out!

Everyone looked toward the door in shock and they all gasped in surprise!

Glynnis heard that all too familiar voice, and her heart nearly leapt out of her throat from fright!

She intended to quickly lower the “weapon” she had raised, but even at her fastest, it was already too late.”

A tall upright man exuding a chilling aura of menace entered the villa’s gates.

Glynnis hurriedly withdrew her hand. The ferocious expression on her face a moment ago turned docile and obedient in an instant.

Marilla, her eyes blurred with tears, watched as Jareth strode towards her without so much as glancing aside.

She felt as if all her strength had left her body in an instant, like she had been released from a sea of suffering. She let out a soft breath.

“Jareth.”

The weak call seemed to set Jareth’s eyes aflame, igniting a flash of sheer madness within them.

For a moment, his breath hitched, and he felt as though his heart was being torn apart.

It hurt. It hurt so much.
