Chapter 185
Rowan said through gritted teeth.
Before she could say anything else, I rushed forward and slapped her hard across the face!
I used all my strength. After that slap, my hand went numb.
Rowan covered her face, staring at me with vicious resentment, "Who are you? How dare you hit me? You better believe I'll make you pay!"
Chris looked at me with a complicated expression.
I had no mood to figure out what his look meant.
I quickly walked over to Lily's side, first looking with concern at the swollen handprint on her cheek, asking softly, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Lily looked at me and shook her head, "I'm fine."
After making sure she was really okay, I turned around and stared coldly at Rowan, "My name is Sue. There are some problems with what you just said, and I need to correct them."
"First, my friend didn't seduce your fiancé. On the contrary, your fiancé keeps harassing my friend, causing her a lot of trouble."
"Second, frankly speaking, I don't see what's so great about your fiancé. He looks at least forty-something, almost fifty, right? Stop being ridiculous. Who would seduce a man like that? My friend has looks and talent. She wouldn't even look at this trash. Just breathing the same air as him makes my friend sick."
"Finally, I advise certain shrews: if you can't control your man, go home. If you don't have a mirror, piss in a puddle and look at yourself. Isn't it disgusting to take it out on others?"
Chris gritted his teeth and corrected unhappily, "I'm only thirty-six!"
I raised my eyebrows, pretending to be surprised, "How is that possible? You don't look it!"
Rowan finally snapped back to reality.
Her face flushed red with anger as she said through gritted teeth, "You bitch, you're talking nonsense! Lily was clearly the one who seduced Chris. She seduced him when they worked together before, and even after leaving, she still won't let Chris go. This kind of slut who covets other people's men deserves to be beaten hard!"
"Ms. Blair, watch your words."
Jason strode to my side, staring at Rowan with a dark expression.
Ryan also walked over, standing beside Lily, coldly surveying Chris.
Chris's gaze shifted between the two men, unable to hide his surprise.
His slightly fearful look finally paused imperceptibly on Jason.
"We're leaving."
Chris grabbed Rowan's arm and dragged her toward the exit.
Rowan looked at Jason with uncertainty, obviously afraid of him. Without any struggle, she obediently let Chris pull her away.
Not until they completely disappeared from our view.
Only then did Rowan ask with lingering fear, "What's that woman's relationship with Jason?"
Chris said, "She's Jason's girlfriend."
Chris didn't want to say I was his father's illegitimate daughter.
After all, dirty laundry shouldn't be aired in public.
Rowan was quite surprised to hear this.
She had indeed heard that Jason liked a woman, and because I had given Jason a child, the Cooper family had even given me shares in Glacier Corp.
But the fact that I dared to hit her made her very unhappy.
"Chris, I didn't care about your past with Lily, but now that we're engaged, you must respect me and give me the dignity I deserve!"
"If I find out you still have anything going on with Lily, our engagement is off!"
After saying this, Rowan left in a huff without looking at Chris's reaction.
Chris instinctively glanced in Lily's direction.
Seeing Ryan holding ice to her face, the two talking about something.
His eyes darkened, but he still hurried after Rowan.
The Miller family was facing many difficulties now. The marriage alliance with the Blair family was essential and couldn't afford any mistakes.
Jason took my hand, looking at my red palm, and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"
I blinked and smiled at him, "To be honest, a little bit."
I had used a lot of force.
After all, Rowan's mouth was too infuriating.
"There are two grown men here, why did you rush to the front?"
Jason looked at me disapprovingly.
I looked up at him, "Can you guys hit a woman?"
Jason fell silent.
The smile on my face grew brighter.
"This kind of thing still needs a woman to handle. When women fight, men shouldn't interfere."
That slap let me vent for Lily, which made me feel much better.
God knows how angry I was when I saw Lily get hit!
Jason looked at me seriously, then helplessly tapped my nose.
"I really can't do anything with you, but it's fine. You go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll back you up."
I smiled with my eyes curving, "That's great!"
After all, it's easier to get things done with someone backing you up.
Especially Jason.
"You."
Jason lowered his head and kissed my palm.
"Come on, let's go check on Jessica."
"It was so exciting just now, I forgot about Jessica!"
When Jason and I went over, we just saw Jessica reach the top.
I widened my eyes in delight and cheered, "Jessica, you're amazing! You're mommy's pride!"
"Jason, who do you think Jessica takes after to be so amazing? How can she do everything so well? She's still a child! She's simply the most outstanding child in the world!"
When it came to Jessica, I was filled with pride.
This excellent and perfect child is mine!
Jason put his arm around my waist and said confidently, "Of course she takes after me."
I turned to look at him.
Although I wanted to tease him about being too narcissistic, I had to admit that Jessica did take after him in this regard.
Jessica was slowly coming down the rope now.
The coach nodded at her, "Very good. Rest for a bit, then we'll try the harder difficulty."
Jessica seriously agreed. She had just turned around when she saw Jason and me standing not far away.
"Mommy! Daddy!"
Jessica's eyes widened with excitement, her little face flushed as she ran toward us.
I squatted down to wipe the sweat from her face and handed her a carton of milk, "Baby, you're so amazing. Mommy tried for so long and couldn't reach the top, but mommy's baby did it. Mommy is so proud of you!"
"It's all because the coach taught me well."
Jessica scratched her head, but couldn't help glancing at Jason from the corner of her eye.
Jason amusedly ruffled her little head, "Indeed not bad, very good."
Jessica's eyes lit up, her smile especially bright.
She looked at Jason hopefully, "Daddy, can you bring me here again in the future?"
"Of course."
After Jessica finished her milk and rested briefly, she went straight to the coach, eager to try the harder difficulty climbing.
Jason and I sat not far away, shoulder to shoulder, watching Jessica climb.
My peripheral vision suddenly swept past the floor-to-ceiling window, and I widened my eyes in shock.
I covered my mouth in surprise and shook Jason's arm frantically.
"There's a fight outside! Look quick!"
