“Slap him!” Bob, the butler, was infuriated.

“Russell, slap yourself!” Meredith said in a stern tone as a response to Bob’s suggestion.

Robert also felt disheartened at Russell’s rebellious attitude.

“You’re wrong for refuting Mr. Caesar!” Meredith roared at him.

Abigail agreed, “Yes! That’s right! Why do we have to cater to the Caesar family’s every whim?”

Richard laughed as he listened to their exchanges.
