Chapter 99 Silence You Through a Beating!
Harper stared at her coldly, with icy eyes. She knew that Chloe was pretending to be confused, but she had plenty of ways to make her understand! She had been too docile and indifferent before, which allowed these people to target her Grandma. How could these wrongdoers live so comfortably after causing such a miserable situation to her Grandma, who had been kind and lived a laborious life?
She watched when her Grandma suffered from pain that day. Even so, her grandpa worried about her and urged her to live a good life at that time.
From now on, she won't let these people manipulate her anymore! She wouldn't let them bully her anymore! Since reason couldn't convince them, she would make them submit! The fierceness in Harper's eyes made Chloe's heart tremble, and she murmured, "You're talking nonsense. What can you expose? Do you have any evidence?"
Harper smiled and replied, "As long as I speak out on the internet as Mrs. Getty, revealing your actions, there will be plenty of zealous people to help me uncover evidence of you seducing Francis. Once your deeds are exposed, who do you think those keyboard warriors will stand for?"
Chloe was trembling with anger. She didn't expect Harper to become so clever now.
Looking at the fearlessness in Harper’s eyes, Chloe felt that Harper’s previous gentleness was all an act!
Francis should know about her intimidating demeanor!
Xenia, who was standing next to Chloe, couldn't bear to see Chloe being speechless, so she forcefully pushed Harper's hand away.
"Harper, Miss Musk, and Mr. Getty have known each other for many years, and their relationship has always been good. It was you who took advantage of their disagreement and seduced Mr. Getty, acting cheaply by crawling into his bed. How dare you accuse Miss Musk of being a mistress? You are the one who's the mistress!"
Harper was shocked by Xenia's shameless words. She had rarely seen someone so shameless and with such distorted values.
She sneered and looked straight at her, saying, "It's refreshing to see someone shamelessly seducing someone else's husband like this. The Musk family is indeed open-minded. Even a housemaid like you has such peculiar thoughts."
Xenia was annoyed as Harper completely ignored her and turned the mockery back at her.
She disdainfully said, "Harper, I heard that you grew up in the countryside, and your parents died early. I can understand why you said such impolite things since nobody taught you manners or civility. I guess your deceased grandma was not a person of noble character either as you are just a despicable woman!"
Harper swiftly moved forward and slapped Xenia's wrinkled old face with a loud smack.
Xenia covered her face and took a while to react. When she was about to counterattack, Harper fiercely slapped her again, causing her to fall to the ground.
Harper's hand was hurting, so she blew on it and looked at Xenia on the ground, saying word by word, "If you dare mention my family again, I will keep hitting you until you can't speak!"
She knew well that reasoning wouldn’t work with such a twisted servant.
It was enough just to beat her until she surrendered.
Seeing this scene, Chloe was furious. She regretted wearing a thick cast on her foot today, which made it difficult for her to move. Otherwise, she would definitely tear Harper apart!
After all, Xenia was her maid. Yet Harper dared to hit Xenia in front of her.
At this moment, Sunny had already arrived in his car.
After he got out of the car and saw the scene, he froze for a moment. He mustered up the courage to say to Chloe, "Ms. Musk, Mr. Getty asked me to come and pick you up."
"Get lost!" Chloe said disgustedly. "Quickly call Francis over to see what this despicable woman has done!"
Xenia started wailing.
"Oh... why should I bear this beating? My head, heart, and face hurt now..." Harper couldn't be bothered to watch them act and was about to leave.
But then, Francis approached from the front.
A hint of bitterness welled up in Harper's heart.
Sure enough, she still couldn't rest assured.
When Chloe saw Francis coming, she was excited, as if she had seen a savior, and she eagerly moved forward in her wheelchair.
After stopping, she tearfully complained to Francis.
Xenia also stood by, wailing in Francis's direction, meticulously playing her role of the sorrowful maid.
They looked extremely miserable.
In contrast, Harper stood tall with an air of superiority, neither backing down nor bowing her head.
She looked like someone who was bullying others.
Francis approached and calmly asked, "What happened?"
Thinking that he was asking him, Sunny quickly said, "Mr. Getty, I just arrived and didn't see anything."
Xenia crawled towards Francis on the ground, her face swollen, and lamented, "Mr. Getty, Mrs. Getty just came up and started accusing our Miss Musk of being a mistress, saying she shamelessly seduced you and threatening to expose our Miss Musk’s behavior online. I tried to persuade her, but she ended up hitting me like this. It doesn't matter that my face hurts, but she claimed that everything our Miss Musk said was just slander and rumors. Mr. Getty, you have to speak up for Miss Musk!"
"What did you say to provoke her?" Francis asked.
"Ah?" The question took aback Xenia.
She thought, ‘Shouldn't Mr. Getty first show concern for Miss Musk after hearing the tirade against her by Harper? Why was he now concerned about what I said to persuade Harper?’
Xenia stuttered, "N-nothing..."
Francis's face grew serious. "I'm asking you. What did you say?"
Xenia felt a chill down her spine from his gaze, and she dared not speak.
Chloe also sensed that something was wrong and tried to reconcile, speaking softly, "Francis, Xenia was just standing up for me. Let's forget about this matter. I don't blame Harper, either. It was just a moment of impulse."
She knew that at times like these, she had to appear generous to highlight the other person's ugly character.
"I didn't ask you," Francis abruptly scolded, leaving Chloe pale.
There was no expression on the man's face, but it inexplicably sent shivers down Chloe's spine.
Feeling wronged, Chloe pouted and dared not say anything else.
Francis looked at Xenia and said, "Repeat word for word what you said to persuade her. Don't leave out a single word."
"I..." Xenia opened her mouth, seeking help, as she glanced at Chloe.
She couldn't repeat those purposely demeaning and derogatory words about Harper that she said earlier.
Clearly, the words were on point, but once it was spoken out, she and Chloe would be the ones blamed. However, Francis was pressing on relentlessly. He casually loosened his tie and said, "Xenia, I remember your son is a supervisor at Getty Group, right?"
If Xenia hadn't perceived this as a threat, then all her efforts and sacrifices over the past sixty years would have been in vain. She immediately recounted the conversation in detail, not daring to leave out a single word. Francis, with a knowing look, uttered a single word, "Good."
