Married a Secret Billionaire

Karine agreed. She followed the former through the office building and arrived at a remote space at the back.

Cordelia looked around. There was a grove—the spot was rather hidden, and nobody would pass by. Most importantly, there were no cameras around. She had spotted this ‘perfect place’ to talk from the beginning.

“Just spit it out!” Karine remained arrogant. “I’d like to get off work early!”

Cordelia had her head held low and was silent. Karine sensed the odd atmosphere. Just when she was going to urge the former again, a slap came!

Then a burning pain instantly rose on her cheek!

Karine was dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Cordelia served her a second slap with all of her might before the former could react!

Karine staggered and fell onto the ground.

“W-What are you doing?” She covered her cheeks that were slapped, looking at Cordelia in fear.

Cordelia stared at her coldly. She lost the softness that she usually had, as if she had armor grown on her body.

She snapped and grabbed Karine’s collar to get her up. As she lifted her hand to give her the third slap, the latter screamed, shutting her eyes instinctively while wrapping her arms around her head.

Cordelia’s hand stopped in the air.

“The first slap was for humiliating me!

“The second slap was for humiliating my husband!

“The third slap…”

“Cordelia, if you dare hit me again, I’ll—”

Cordelia gave a loud slap before Karine could finish yelling.

“The third slap serves as a warning to you!” Cordelia enunciated. “If you dare criticize my husband again, you’ll suffer worse consequences than this! Don’t think I won’t dare to hit you again! I didn’t slap you in front of people this time to save your reputation. If you dare to bark again, I’ll show everyone how you got your swollen cheeks!

“Worse comes to worst, I’ll just quit my job. You can tell the whole world that I, Cordelia, hit you. Hah! I’ll proudly take responsibility since I’ve done it. But if you push me again, you’ll bear the consequences!”
