Chapter 12 Despicable
Zayden’s grip was very tight, making Lailah feel a piercing pain in her
wrist.
Trying hard to endure the pain, Lailah looked up at Zayden and asked. coldly. “I heard you. So?”
Jaylen didn’t get what Lailah was suggesting and chimed in, shouting at her loudly, “So? So you gotta apologize to Mara!”
Meanwhile, Edwin sighed silently.
He knew that if Lailah was willing to apologize to Tamara, she wouldn’t have said so.
She was just telling Zayden that she would never apologize to Tamara.
Zayden stared at Lailah, his eyes cold.
“I’ll say this one last time, apologize to Mara.”
Lailah looked up at Zayden, saying indifferently, “Zayden, I’m tired of hearing you asking me to apologize to Tamara. And it’s getting annoying
now.
“You and Tamara enjoy listening to others‘ apologies? How about I hire a couple of people and apologize to you until you’re satisfied?”
When Jaylen heard this, he was pissed off and snapped, “Lailah, you made a mistake, so you should apologize, okay? Don’t be so shameless!”
But Lailah just replied indifferently, “Since you think I made a mistake, you can call the police to arrest me.”
Chapter 12 Despicable
Jaylen pointed at Lailah, choking with anger.
“You…”
At the same time, Lailah felt the pain in her wrist intensify, as if her bones were about to be crushed.
She frowned due to the pain, and her face turned pale.
But Zayden acted as if he didn’t notice it and kept staring at her with his cold gaze.
Lailah naturally wouldn’t argue with him on such matters. She knew if she did, the one who suffered in the end would still be herself. “Mr. Walter, you wanna break my wrist?”
Zayden didn’t let go. Instead, he asked, “So, you don’t wanna apologize?”
Jaylen shouted at the side, “Go, Zayden! Teach this woman a good lesson!”
Cold sweat had already appeared on Lailah’s forehead, and her face had paled even more.
Her eyelashes trembled gently in pain as she threatened Zayden, “Mr. Walter, if you break my wrist, I’ll call the police and sue you for intentional injury. Oh, wait…”
A sneer appeared on her face as she added, “This shouldn’t be an intentional injury. It should be domestic violence.
“The CEO of the Walter Group is sued for domestic violence. That should make the headlines…”
The next second, Zayden let go, and Lailah subconsciously raised her wrist and glanced at it.
Chapter 12 Despicable
There was already a circle of obvious bruises on the fair and delicate skin around her wrist.
Zayden’s eyes flickered.
But when Jaylen saw this, he immediately burst out in anger.
“Did you hear what she just said, Zayden? She’s threatening you! How dare she? You can’t indulge her, Zayden! Maybe this is just one of her tricks to get your attention…”
Jaylen still wanted to say more, but Edwin hurriedly covered his mouth and warned him in a low voice, “Jaylen, just stay out of their matter. They’re a couple, and we’re just some outsiders.”
Then, Edwin looked at Tamara and suggested, “Ms. Mosley, let’s give them a moment alone, shall we?”
Tamara took a worried look at Zayden and said softly, “Zayden, maybe Ms. Griffith just has been feeling bad lately. You know, she’s been staying at home alone all day long, doing nothing… Don’t take her words to heart. She needs to relax.”
But Jaylen snorted with a sneer directly, chiming in, “She’s just a housewife. Being served by the servants is still not relaxing for her? Feeling bad? She felt bad, so she came out and found some gigolos behind Zayden’s back?”
Edwin pulled Jaylen back and said to him, “Enough, Jaylen. Let’s go back and wait for Zayden in our box.”
Before leaving, Jaylen shot a glare at Lailah and warned her, “You bullied Mara. You’re doomed! Zayden will definitely teach you a good lesson!”
Lailah finally cast a glance at Jaylen and asked with a serious expression, “Jaylen, looks like you’re more than just a bootlicker. You’re now a stupid
Chapter 12 Despicable
simp.”
Upon hearing this, Jaylen instantly flew into a rage.
He pointed at Lailah and shouted, “Zayden, Edwin, did you hear that? She says I’m a bootlicker! She also said that when we met her outside just
now!”
Edwin cleared his throat and said to Jaylen, “Alright, Jaylen, just leave it to Zayden.”
“No!” Jaylen jumped and flared. “I must witness how Zayden teaches this woman a lesson today! Or I won’t leave!”
Lailah said to Jaylen lightly, “Then stay. I got something else to do, so if you would excuse me.”
Lailah rubbed her swollen wrist and walked around these people, ready to leave.
But Zayden’s face darkened and he immediately grabbed Lailah’s wrist again.
This time, he didn’t use much strength. Lailah didn’t feel much pain, but she still couldn’t break free.
Meanwhile, Jaylen still wanted to say something. But when he saw Zayden’s sullen face, he swallowed his words back and shut his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Tamara also kept quiet.
Then, Zayden rudely pulled Lailah into an empty box and asked with a sneer, “Lailah, is this your new trick to play hard to get?”
Lailah frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Zayden sneered, “Last time, you tricked me, saying that you were in
Chapter 12 Despicable
danger and needed my help. But the truth was that nothing happened to you. Lailah, when did you become so despicable?”
His insulting remark made Lailah feel suffocated for a moment.
She clenched her fists, her nails breaking slightly in her palms.
Despicable?
Zayden said Lailah was despicable!
Last time, Lailah was kidnapped on her way out to buy groceries.
That morning, after taking a few bites of vegetables, Krish lost his temper and stopped eating, complaining that the food wasn’t fresh.
Lailah knew that it was Tamara deliberately mentioning it to Krish. Perhaps Tamara found out that Alyvia had been responsible for buying groceries.
Anyway, that day, Lailah went out to buy groceries herself.
The kidnapper was a poor man. He was cheated out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and failed to get his money back. At that time, his family had already gone broke, and he had lost everything.
He was at the end of his rope and began to hate this world. So, he decided to randomly pick someone to kidnap.
And Lailah, who was picking up groceries at that time, unfortunately, became his target.
He pressed a knife against Lailah’s neck, loudly threatening the police. He was too agitated and left a shallow cut on her neck.
In order to calm the kidnapper down a bit, Lailah told him that her husband was very rich and could help him pay his debt.
Chapter 12 Despicable
The kidnapper seemed to have never expected that someone would actually be willing to help him pay off his debts, so he was somewhat skeptical.
Lailah told him that as long as he could let her make a phone call, she would be able to help him pay off his debts and let him live a normal life. again.
The kidnapper hesitated and allowed Lailah to make a phone call.
Lailah called Zayden, and Zayden answered her call. However, just after Lailah said she was kidnapped, she heard someone on the other end of the phone saying that Tamara needed emergency treatment, and the surgical notice needed to be signed.
So, Zayden said to Lailah briefly, “Mara is in danger. I’ll get back to you later.” Then, he hung up the phone directly.
Perhaps the kidnapper saw Lailah as his last hope, so he waited.
However, two hours had passed, but Zayden still hadn’t called back.
