Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 327

327 /658

Beverly was pulled to a secluded area by Ronaldo.

With a cold expression, Ronaldo said, "What are you trying to do? Don't you know what occasion this is?"

Facing Ronaldo's reprimand, Beverly who was already in low spirits became utterly incensed. She looked at Ronaldo icily, then mockingly said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? You are nothing but a useless person–" Before she could finish her intended sentence, a slap landed squarely on Beverly's right cheek.

She was somewhat taken aback as she touched her face.

After she regained her composure, her anger surged. She raised her hand intending to slap back. But Ronaldo firmly caught her hand, his grip ice-cold.

Beverly angrily said, "Let go of me! What gives you the right to hit me?"

Ronaldo: "Because I'm your elder brother."

On hearing this, Beverly laughed. She squinted at Ronaldo with a derisive look in her eyes and snorted contemptuously. "You? Does a cripple want to be my brother? Let me give you an advise. It would be smart to return abroad instead of staying here if you know what's right for you. Otherwise, I fear your leg might break for the second time."

At this moment, Beverly was on the brink of collapse.

A series of recent events had piled upon her, a feeling she had never experienced before.

So much mockery, so much scorn…

Added to the provocation she'd just received from Lambert. Now, she was so upset that there was no room for reason. So, she didn't hesitate to blurt out things that normally she wouldn't dare to.

Perhaps because Ronaldo had just slapped her a small part of her brain was still clear.

So, after she spoke those reckless words, her face instantly paled. She realized she had said something wrong. Before she could recover and figure out how to rectify her mistake, the door to the secluded area was abruptly opened. Mrs. Lawrence quickly came to Beverly's side, anxiously and panickily said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Behind Mrs. Lawrence was Mr. Lawrence, his eyes deep and inscrutable.

Mr. Lawrence stared at Beverly without any emotion. He didn't force out any words. Instead, he said to Mrs. Lawrence, "Take her away. We should avoid any further embarrassment."

Mrs. Lawrence's face immediately turned ashen.

She wanted to explain, but when she looked at her husband's cold face, she instantly froze on the spot, unable to utter a word. She understood very clearly what her husband was suspecting. For a moment, she was irate with her daughter for behaving like an utter fool! If she had been slightly more lenient with Beverly, their only daughter, before, at this moment she wanted nothing more than to throttle her.

She never expected that the daughter she gave birth to did not inherit a shred of her intelligence.

Quite simply, she was incurably foolish.

Earlier, when her husband stopped her from entering the room, she stayed outside, listening expressionless. Even though Mrs. Lawrence was uneasy, she remained silent, hoping her daughter wouldn't say anything outrageous. As it turned out, not only did her daughter speak up, but she also spilled the beans about everything that had been done in the past.

At that moment, Mrs. Lawrence's face had turned ashen grey--

Therefore, without caring for anything else, she pushed open the door to stop Beverly from saying more.

However, it now became clear that she was still too late.
