His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 479

Chapter 479

Edith felt dizzy after the punishment, stars exploding in her vision while the metallic taste of blood filled her mouth. Pain radiated from her ears, making her entire body convulse as she bared her teeth in agony.

In the face of excruciating pain, all concerns for maintaining her composure and her dignified heiress demeanor were thrown to the winds.

“Ah, Ah! My ear. My ear is killing me!”

After being struck twice on the right cheek, a piercing ringing filled her ear, and she howled with pain.

“Oh, Edith! My poor Edith!”

Barry’s eyes bulged in shock as he rushed to Edith’s side, his cane forgotten as he tried to help her up with trembling, bony hands.

But Edith had no strength left to rise. The ferocity of Jareth’s powerful blow was evident, and she could only collapse to the ground, weeping bitterly, “Grandpa Barry, my ear, it hurts so much. I can’t hear anything in my right ear.”

“Edith! What did you say?!” Barry turned pale with fright.

But even his loud voice, from such a short distance, barely registered as a faint whisper to Edith Trembling, she released her hand from her right ear, opening her palm to reveal. Drops of bright red blood stood out starkly, sending her into utter panic as she burst into tears, “My ear…I’ve gone deaf!”

Bodyguards and secretaries crowded around, shouting for doctors and calling for ambulances, creating a chaotic scene reminiscent of a disturbed henhouse.

Jareth watched the Fairhaven family’s pandemonium with icy detachment, as if an invisible barrier of cold ice stood between him and the Fairhaven Group.

Once, he had taken pride in being the eldest grandson of the Fairhaven Group. Now, he only felt shame and humiliation.

“Jareth! Have you lost your mind?!” Barry glared at him in disbelief, his vision darkening for a moment as he struggled to catch his breath, “Edith is your own sister! Your parents‘ only daughter! How could you strike her so cruelly?!”

A sinister smile curled Jareth’s lips, “As the eldest brother, I’m the patriarch in my father’s absence. Do you find something amiss in my disciplining her?”

The crowd gasped at his audacity. His words were outrageous yet carried an air of strange justification.
