"You want to hit me!" Chloe Grant stated once again with certainty.
This time, she could no longer hold back her tears.
Even if crying in front of Lily Grant was embarrassing, and too humiliating, she truly couldn't control it.
Lucas Morgan... actually raised his hand against her?
The man who cared for her for ten years, cherished her for ten years, and cooked for her for ten years, actually wants to hit her!
And it's for another woman!
"Chloe Grant, once you enter the Morgan family, you are one of us, and no one can bully you. You have two uncles watching over you, understand?"
Lucas said these words to Chloe when she first stepped into the Morgan family, and they still echoed in her ears.
And for the past ten years, he indeed acted as he said.
But now, for a Lily Grant, he wants to hit her!
Do you know what heartbreak feels like?
Chloe Grant was experiencing it at this moment!
"Ha." She suddenly laughed.
Lucas actually regretted it the moment he raised his hand.
After all, how could he truly bear to hurt someone he cared for over ten years? Seeing Chloe cry now, Lucas immediately felt distressed.
He frowned, lowered his hand, and just as he was about to speak, Chloe's right hand suddenly swung forward, landing a solid slap on Lucas's face, making a loud sound.
This slap was not like the one she gave Lily, where Chloe, lacking strength due to her injuries, hardly made an impact.
This time, Chloe's wrist was held by someone, and the slap was delivered!
"Ah..." Lily screamed, quickly turning around and grabbing Lucas's hand.
Lucas's face was already red, and visibly, the marks of five fingers appeared on his face.
At that moment, it was as if the world fell silent.
Chloe was stunned, slowly turning her head to stare at the hand that held her right wrist.
A very slender hand, with defined finger bones. Following the hand up the arm... Chloe directly saw an extremely cold side profile.
The tightly clenched jaw announced that this man was in a state of anger.
Before Chloe could react, she was suddenly lifted in someone's arms.
She was startled, subconsciously grabbing the man's arm, and slightly raised her head.
From just now until now, from Chloe's angle, she could only see the side of this man's face, but it was enough to stun everyone.
His inherently aloof aura now appeared sharp due to his anger.
There was an air of deathly stillness that made no one dare to utter a word.
And it was in this atmosphere that the man holding Chloe lifted his long leg and kicked Lucas's shoulder, sending Lucas crashing towards the restroom stall door.
Lily cried out again, quickly going over to help Lucas up.
"Who allowed you to bully her?" Matthew Morgan finally spoke, his voice cold and heavy, like a weight on everyone's chest.
Lucas clutched his chest, leaned on Lily, and gave her a reassuring look.
Turning his head, he stared down Matthew, "Don't you think she's already spoiled?"
"So what?" Matthew rebutted, his face devoid of any expression.
In his arms, Chloe almost felt like she lacked the courage to look directly at Matthew, so she looked towards Lucas.
Having been slapped and kicked, he looked a bit disheveled.
His white shirt was already dirty, hair messy, and his handsome face marred by finger marks.
Though she shouldn't, Chloe truly felt pity for him.
Lucas was such a charmer, always glamorous and wickedly attractive, it was the first time he'd been treated so woefully.
