Chapter 455: Chapter 458: Slapping the Ex-Husband’s Family’s Face (3)
Although Michelle Carter wanted to explain, she couldn’t say anything in such a situation.
She could only bear the gazes of others and pour tea for Lily Gray.
Zara Lucas followed behind Michelle Carter, feeling a sense of injustice when facing her once-easily bullied former sister-in-law.
She wondered how the woman, who used to be at her mercy, could suddenly become the high and mighty lady of the Lucas family.
Feeling resentful, Zara intentionally screamed “Ouch!” when serving tea.
She pretended to lose her footing as if being tripped by something.
Her whole body lunged forward, aiming directly at Lily Gray.
The teacup slipped from her hand.
It seemed like it was going to hit Lily Gray’s face.
Aidan Lucas’s eyebrows knitted slightly, and he quickly pulled his unresponsive beloved wife into his arms, protecting her.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Lucas VII stepped between Aidan Lucas and Lily Gray at the same time.
With a wave of his right palm, the teacup, along with the tea, flew towards Zara Lucas’s face.
“Alth!!!”
A tragic scream suddenly sounded inside the banquet hall.
The teacup filled with tea hit Zara Lucas’s face directly and fiercely.
“All, it hurts… Mom, save me… It hurts so much!” Zara Lucas covered her face and rolled on the ground, screaming.
Michelle Carter’s face turned pale, and her first reaction was to hold Zara, who was covering her face and crying in pain.
“Zara… Zara, don’t scare Mom! Oh no, how did this happen… Brandon, come and check on Zara… Who did she offend? Such a vicious heart!”
Upon hearing Michelle Carter’s words, Brandon Lucas hurriedly came forward to examine Zara.
He felt suspicious in his heart.
The tea wasn’t scalding hot, and even if she were really hit by the cup, it shouldn’t have hurt this much.
Brandon Lucas’s doubts grew, and upon closer examination, he found that the situation was far worse than he had imagined.
Zara Lucas’s left eyelid was swollen.
Not only that, but a hideous bloodstain appeared on the left side of her face.
Even though her fingers were covering it, the bloody scars could still be seen clearly through the gaps between her fingers.
Brandon Lucas was taken aback and wanted to turn around and ask for clarification when Sebastian’s indifferent voice came from behind.
“I’m sorry, I’m a rough person, and I didn’t have time to control my strength, so I used a bit too much. If Miss Lucas’s face is truly ruined, rest assured, I’m willing to bear the cost of plastic surgery.”
“You…” Brandon Lucas could hardly contain his anger.
But he knew that even if Zara Lucas had intentionally caused trouble, if she had accidentally thrown the teacup at the lady of the house and Sebastian hadn’t blocked it, the consequences would ultimately fall on Zara Lucas herself.
“Mr. Lucas, Young Lady… I apologize. My daughter was careless and almost frightened the Young Lady. It’s my failure to discipline her.”
“Hmm.” Aidan Lucas nodded rightfully, “Your daughter indeed needs to be disciplined properly. You should be thankful that she only hurt herself today. If she accidentally hurt Lily…”
Even without Aidan Lucas finishing his sentence, Brandon Lucas understood.
After apologizing several more times respectfully, he left with his wife and children in disgrace.
The original plan to arrange a marriage at the banquet was dismissed.
With half of her face ruined and having publicly received Aidan Lucas’s assessment that she “needed discipline,” it would not be easy for Zara Lucas to find another marriage alliance with a wealthy family in the future.
