Chapter 129 Smack!
Abigail was completely puzzled, while Aaron showed even more confusion, saying, "Why does she have to slap me? Can we pick someone else?"
Ryder shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Because, besides you, the only person at Table 2 that I know is her. Familiar faces are more trustworthy when getting things done!"
Upon hearing this, Abigail's mouth twitched with dissatisfaction. She thought, "I'm not familiar with you at all!"
But then she considered that it had been so many years since she last slapped Aaron, and she kind of missed it.
Being able to slap him in front of so many people was a rare opportunity!
She could boast about it to Grandpa when she went back, and surely win his favor!
Furthermore, she believed that if this matter reached Sarah's ears, she would certainly be displeased with Ryder.
As long as she could create conflict between the two of them, a little trouble from slapping Aaron wouldn't be a big deal!
So, without much thought, she nodded and agreed, "No problem!"
Then she took a step towards Aaron, casually flexing her wrist, a triumphant expression on her face.
This frightened Aaron.
He was already afraid of Abigail, knowing that she never held back.
If he were to be slapped a hundred times by her, he might end up looking like a pig's head!
With that in mind, he hurriedly raised his hand in panic and said, "I... I think it's unfair!"
Ryder narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where's the unfairness?"
Nervously, Aaron swallowed and replied, "Abigail also insulted you earlier, why is she slapping me? She should be slapped too!"
"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"
Aaron rarely stood up to Abigail, "I'm just stating the facts!"
At that moment, Ryder nodded and said, "You make sense. Since that's the case, how about you slap each other? A hundred slaps each! Same conditions apply, you can decide the intensity yourselves!"
"What?" Abigail was stunned in place.
They had agreed that she would slap Aaron, so how did it suddenly change to slapping each other?
Before she could question it, George's bloodthirsty gaze already turned towards her, leaving her no choice but to bear it.
Abigail walked up to Aaron.
They were face to face, only thirty centimeters apart!
In terms of age, Abigail was one year older than Aaron, they were cousins!
She never expected to be in this situation today!
Both of them cursed Ryder in their hearts!
Of course, complaining internally wouldn't do any good.
With Nathan and George, figures of authority, watching them closely, they were doomed to have no chance of resistance!
Aaron, who thought of himself as clever, glanced at Abigail.
He whispered to her, "Let's use the least amount of strength, so that Ryder won't have the satisfaction of watching us make fools of ourselves! The force can be determined by us!"
Abigail's eyes lit up.
She thought this useless man actually has some brains!
So, she nodded to indicate that it was alright!
Ryder said, "Let's begin!"
Aaron and Abigail each raised their hands to slap each other!
Although they called it slapping each other, it was more like touching each other's faces, with barely any force!
They did it over twenty times in a row!
This disappointed the many guests who were initially looking forward to the spectacle, and they complained:
"Hey! Is this what you call slapping? Even our dogs fighting is more interesting!"
"Why don't you two put some effort into it?"
"Mr. Weir, isn't it better for you to have them taken care of? It's so boring to watch!"
Faced with these comments, George was indifferent.
After all, this course of action was announced by Ryder himself, so he wouldn't overturn Ryder's words!
Seeing that George didn't intervene, Aaron smugly retorted to the group of guests, "If you don't want to watch, then don't! We didn't beg you to stand here!"
The guests were all infuriated!
They thought that this jerk had suffered enough but he still hadn't changed his nature. Clearly, he was a spoiled brat molded by his family upbringing!
Just as Aaron was secretly rejoicing, the force in his hand suddenly became uncontrollable, and it increased by a notch!
The sound was sharp!
Although the force wasn't strong, Abigail's expression changed!
"Why did you do that?"
"It wasn't intentional!" Aaron explained embarrassedly.
But Abigail was the type of person who would never tolerate any form of violence against her, especially when it came from a family member.
So, she immediately returned a slap to Aaron!
It was stronger than the one Aaron had just slapped her with!
Abigail responded nonchalantly, "We're even now!"
Feeling a tingling sensation on his cheek, Aaron became slightly annoyed!
He thought to himself, I didn't mean it on purpose, why is she so petty and retaliating?
Recalling all the disadvantages he suffered at Abigail's hands in the past, he had allowed her to take advantage of him time and time again!
Now that he was the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar company, why should he let this wicked woman bully him still?
With that in mind, Aaron unintentionally added some deliberate force and slapped her again!
This one was a bit stronger than Abigail's slap!
"Aaron, have you lost your mind?" Abigail widened her eyes. She didn't expect Aaron to slap her twice in a row with force!
Aaron stiffened his neck and remained silent!
This enraged her, and she stomped her foot, saying, "You bastard! It's been years since I beat you, and you forgot your place!"
This slap was delivered with eighty percent of her strength!
It left a red handprint on Aaron's face!
"I'm giving you a taste of your own medicine, you bitch!" Immediately, Aaron retaliated with another powerful slap!
Abigail's earring fell to the ground from the impact!
"Ah!!! Aaron! I'll fucking kill you!"
"Bitch, I've tolerated you for over a decade!"
For the next minute or so, the two of them stood facing each other, fiercely exchanging slaps without backing down!
Both were resolute!
This excited the guests, and they applauded and cheered!
Among the crowd, someone with keen eyes noticed that Abigail's swollen face resembled that of an internet celebrity who had a bruised face and was holding a trash can not too long ago!
Quickly, they took out their phones to record videos, ready to upload them online, as it was bound to go viral.
Nathan witnessed this scene.
Taking a deep breath, he whispered in amazement, "They're even more ruthless than I am. How deep is their hatred and grudge?"
Then he said to Ryder beside him, "You already knew this would be the outcome and intentionally let them control the intensity, didn't you?"
Ryder smiled wryly and said, "It seems that both of them benefited from the situation, but once one side feels it's unfair, they will find a way to drag the other down. After all, they've never truly trusted each other!"
Nathan nodded thoughtfully, as if grasping some truth.
As Aaron's hundredth slap landed on Abigail's face.
The punishment of slapping each other finally came to an end.
