Chapter 26 Who Slapped Her?
Chapter 26 Who Slapped Her?
The sound of slaps was spreading along the aisle.
The workers and customers passing by were stunned.
Agnes ran towards Robbie immediately and asked, “Robbie, are you okay?”
Olive came over and saw two big slap prints on her son’s face. She furiously yelled, “Eloise Thompson,
how dare you slap my son! You are going to pay for this!”
She immediately charged towards Eloise with a murderous look.
Eloise was unable to dodge. All of a sudden, a powerful arm emerged from behind and effortlessly
stopped Olive's attack.
"What is going on?”
There was a voice coming from Eloise's back. The tone was chilly but there was a wave of
unnoticeable anger.
Soon afterward, a familiar scent surrounded her.
That was Hector’ odor, it was thin and fresh.
Later, she felt her back leaning against a warm broad chest. She could feel the warmness radiating
through the thin layer of clothing.
For a split second, the perception of endless safety engulfed her. Suddenly, she had an urge to cry for
no reason at all.
She could not wait and turned to look at him. She asked with her eyes red, “How did you get out?”
Hector stared down at Eloise. When he was about to respond, he saw the red prints on her cheeks, it
immediately ignited the flame of anger in his heart.
There was a strong wave of rage emerging in his eyes. The gentleness he used to have with Eloise
was gone. A frightful character then replaced it.
He slowly lifted his head and gazed at the people in front of him with an emotionless look, it was
frightening!
“Who did it?” he asked.
All six of them including Robbie, Josh Thompson, or Stanley Gardner had been through a lot. They
were the people struggling to survive in the mall, none of them were ordinary. But at that moment,
everyone was unnerving and could feel the pressure exerted.
Agnes was shocked as she was not expecting a guy to appear out of nowhere to protect Eloise.
Eloise was perplexed. She then scanned Hector.
He was a handsome and gorgeous man who wore an expensive suit. He was tall and slim while
behaving elegantly as if he was born with it. He looked like an aristocrat from the middle ages. When
compared to Robbie who was right next to him, Hector was way ahead of him overall.
Agnes was confused and mad at the same time. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
She thought that Eloise was having a terrible life and was constantly thinking about Robbie for all these
years.
She did not expect her to be able to lure an outstanding man like that.
She did not deserve it!
A bitch who used to be a surrogate mother, she did not deserve it!
She should hide in a place where no one could find her and live a terrible life!
When she was about to go crazy for jealousy, Eloise made an insult, “I am fine, I just got scratched by
a dog.”
She slowly turned her head over and looked at Robbie with an indifferent look.
Robbie just got slapped twice and was referred to as a dog in front of everyone, he felt humiliated. He
gritted his teeth and threatened, "Eloise, do you want to die?"
She calmly stared at him and said, “Robbie, I did not seek revenge on you all these years because I did
not want to dirty my hands. But that does not make me a weak prey. The first slap was about the
betrayal 6 years ago. Do not act like I did not know that you and ‘my best sister’ flirted with each other,
then at the end pretending that I am the one who betrayed you! You cheated on me and yet still acting
as you are innocent, with your whole family acting like they did not know the truth. It truly disgustingly
broadens my horizon."
“The other slap was for your overbearing me 5 years later. I, Eloise, do not owe you or anyone else. If
you had chosen to cut off your relationship with me, treat me like a stranger whenever we meet again.
I, Eloise had lost the privilege of the Thompson family, but I am doing just fine. So, I hope everyone can
listen. Do not talk to me even if we met, because...I am disgusted!!!”
After saying all that, Eloise pulled Hector into the dining room without waiting for their responses.
At this moment, Josh said, “Eloise, try walking one more step. If you dare to do so, do not ever return to
the family.”
The tone sounded like an offer.
Eloise cackled and walked away. She did not even look back. She pulled Hector’s hand and walked
into the room, soon vanishing behind the door.
…
“Bang!” The door of the room was closed. Eloise slowly let go of Hector’s hand. She looked like she
had gone into war and was exhausted.
Although she looked edgy and indifferent just now, she was still depressed in her heart.
Who knew her closest person in the entire world would betray and humiliate her.
Eloise was baffled. She did not do anything wrong throughout her entire life. Why would they treat her
like that?
Hector could feel that she was depressed. His eyes became sullen while wanted to exterminate
everything.
But he concealed his feelings flawlessly. He asked gently, “Are you okay?
”I am fine.” Eloise forced out a smile, "I am sorry."
She was too afraid to look at Hector when she concluded her sentence.
He had witnessed her in such an unbearable situation. It was like exposing the ugliness and wounds
from her past to everyone.
Eloise was too afraid to tell Hector that she was a surrogate mother just for money.
She was too filthy to be standing next to Hector, don't even mention Solomon.
Solomon was so innocent and self-caring. If he ever knew she abandoned her child just for money, how
disappointed would he be?
When she thought this, Eloise could feel her heart contracting. She could not even stay any longer. She
rushed to her seat and blindly grabbed her bag with her. “Alright, I am not feeling well, I am going back
home. Thanks for the dinner.”
“Miss Eloise, are you okay? Do you need to see a doctor?”
Solomon walked towards Eloise and was about to grab her leg.
But Eloise who would respond to all of his requests backed off a few steps.
Solomon froze with both his hands up in the air.
Eloise apologized immediately, “So-sorry, Solomon, i-it was not on purpose...sorry.”
After that, she ran past Hector and fled the dining room in a panic. She did not even wait for Solomon's
reply.
Hector looked at the opened door of the dining room with a sullen face. There were currents of mixed
emotions flowing in his eyes. It was nearly impossible to tell how he truly felt about this.
When Solomon finally calmed down, he rushed out of the room with his tiny legs, “Miss Eloise…”
But Eloise was no longer there.
His eyes became red and he turned his head to look at Hector. The tears fell off from his eyes,
"Daddy... Does Miss Eloise hate me?"
