Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 289

Presley had to give up.

The air at the venue became tense.

No one dared to stop Lucinda because of Cyrus’ influence.

Tess had almost done wrong by Lucinda.

If it weren’t for her video chat with Benico, Lucinda could have been wrongly accused of stealing from the master.

Lucinda’s act of revenge didn’t seem unjustifiable.

Tess deserved it.

Tess trembled with fear as she watched Lucinda approach her with a fierce aura.

She tried to hold her ground and said with quivering lips, “I’m the future heir of the Green family! If you lay a finger on me, the Green family will make you pay!”

Lucinda smiled harmlessly.

“Okay, I’ll wait.

”

But in the next moment, her smile disappeared and was replaced by a stern look in her eyes.

She raised her hand and delivered two stinging slaps to Tess’ face.

The sound of the slaps echoed through the hall.

Someone muttered, “Lucinda just slapped Tess?

What a vicious woman!”

Tess was in tears after being slapped.

The pain was so intense that she couldn’t speak.

Her face was now red and swollen, with a palm print etched on her fair skin.

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, making her look pitiful and embarrassed.

She was no longer as arrogant as she used to be.

Tess bit her lip and sobbed, but Lucinda wouldn’t let her hide her face.

She held her chin and forced her to look at her.

Lucinda stared at her red face and clicked her tongue.

“Sure enough, you never knew how painful it is to be slapped until you’re slapped.

How many times have you set me up already? Did you ever think you would end up like this?”

Tess was filled with shame and anger.

Her face was so swollen that she couldn’t speak.

Fortunately, Amanda and Vivien hurried onto the stage and saved Tess from the bodyguards.

Acknowledging that they were too humiliated to stay, both of them hauled the dazed Tess away in resentment.

They didn’t dare say anything rude, so they just gazed at Lucinda spitefully.

Lucinda merely dismissed their attempts at protesting with a disdainful look.
