Chapter 57 A Slap for You!
This discordant voice appeared when attracting the attention of everyone present, two black Mercedes-Benz vans suddenly stopped in front of the Maple Real Estate gate.
Leading the group was a young couple - a handsome man who exuded an air of superiority as he walked, and a woman with good looks and figure, clad in luxury brand clothing and heavy makeup.
These two individuals were none other than Henry, the Marketing Manager of the Windsor Group, and his wife Elena!
As soon as they arrived, the faces of Grandpa Johnson and the others turned sour.
Although it was expected for the Windsor family to participate in this bidding, it was a surprise for the Johnson family.
They had thought that with the downfall of the Smith family, the Johnson family would profit from it. But they never expected to encounter an even more formidable opponent. Of course, among the members of the Johnson family, Sarah felt the most complicated emotions at this moment! Because Henry was her first love during their university days!
In an instant, Sarah's thoughts drifted back to the past... During her college years, Sarah was the campus beauty, pursued by countless suitors. However, being introverted and somewhat cold, she rejected them all. Henry was a senior student and the president of the student council in Sarah's freshman year, a scholarship recipient every year.
Since Sarah's first year in college, Henry had been pursuing her relentlessly. He sent love letters, bought gifts, and even sang downstairs to confess his love! From Sarah's first year until her senior year, his passionate pursuit never ceased.
Due to Henry never being involved in any scandals and his good looks and talent, he eventually managed to melt Sarah's heart, and she agreed to date him. However, deep down Sarah was conservative, and during their relationship, they were more like friends. They never had any intimate contact, not even a kiss. Because Sarah insisted that only through marriage would there be any sexual activity.
Henry promised to wait until Sarah graduated, and on the day of her graduation ceremony, he would propose to her with a diamond ring!
Sarah was full of joy and anticipation. In the blink of an eye, it was Sarah's graduation day. True to his word, Henry came with the diamond ring! But what she never expected was that the person Henry proposed to was not her, but her best friend during college - Elena! They had been roommates for four years and shared a deep bond! Henry got down on one knee and presented the ring to Elena. Elena covered her mouth in a moved manner and accepted his proposal. The classmates erupted into cheers.
Only Sarah stood there like a neglected peacock, tears streaming from her lifeless and confused eyes, not knowing what to do. Afterwards, Sarah, unwilling to accept her fate, sought Henry and Elena to clarify things.
In a disgusted tone that Henry had never used before, he said to her, "You're just a whore that I wanted to conquer for a moment, to show everyone that I, Henry, have the power to pursue the goddesses they envy! As for marrying you? Don't even think about it. Besides being somewhat attractive, what else do you have? I want a partner who has the ability to help me fulfill my life's worth. And you, you're not worthy!"
Elena sneered and slapped her, mocking, "You may not know, but the night before you agreed to be Henry's girlfriend, we made love in a hotel outside of school all night long! You probably also don't know that Henry always found it boring to chat with you, so after every conversation with you, we would exchange photos where we're not wearing clothes, it's exciting! So, as a foolish woman like you, you deserve to be dumped..."
Sarah couldn't hear what came after. Her mind was already in complete chaos. Feeling utterly dejected, she aimlessly stumbled into a bar to drown her sorrows. She accidentally drank too much.
On the way home from the bar, two ruffians intercepted her, intending to take advantage of her.
Luckily, Ryder happened to pass by after finishing work at the construction site and scared away the ruffians, saving Sarah.
That's how they met. At the time, Sarah had completely lost faith in love.
Out of frustration and recklessness, not long after getting to know Ryder, she invited him to become the Johnson family's son-in-law and gave him some money to pay off his debts.
But the tragic past love didn't make Sarah harbor resentment towards love or distrust it.
That's why, after three years of marriage, even though Ryder behaved obediently and took care of her diligently, there was still a lingering grudge in Sarah's heart, causing their married life to be far from ideal.
At this moment, Henry and Elena saw Sarah and couldn't help but express their surprise.
Elena looked Sarah up and down, smiling as she said, "Isn't this the school's beauty queen? What are you here to participate in the bidding today too? Let me advise you, just leave with your whole family now to save yourself the embarrassment of competing with us!"
Sarah responded to Elena's aggressive attitude with a surge of nameless anger, saying, "No, thanks for your concern!"
Elena sneered, "You're really good at pretending! I know you've been resentful these past few years, have been envious of me. So, you found yourself a useless son-in-law, right? It's a pity that, even as a son-in-law, compared to Henry, your guy isn't even worth a fart! Haha!"
The Windsor family burst into laughter.
Sarah's face turned red, unable to retort because what Elena said was, to some extent, true.
Elena took a step forward, continuing her aggressive stance, "Am I right in guessing that even after three years of marriage, you're still a virgin? Is it because that useless guy is incapable in that department? Let me tell you, Henry is amazing! I'm very satisfied every night!"
"Shameless!" Sarah bit her lip in response.
Elena seemed indifferent as she glanced at the Johnson family and sneered, "No wonder they're Sarah's family, they all look like clueless fools!"
The Johnson family's expressions turned sour. Just moments ago, they were proud and arrogant, but now they dared not speak up.
Miss Windsor from the Windsor family, how could they dare to provoke them?
They could only lower their heads! But deep down, they cursed Sarah extensively. If it wasn't for the trouble she caused back then, would they be mocked like this?
"Oh, by the way, where is that son-in-law you found? I want to see what kind of trash is worthy of a slut like you!" Elena continued provoking.
"I..." Sarah trembled with anger, unable to say a word.
Just then, Ryder walked up to Elena with his hands in his pockets. He extended his right hand with a faint smile and asked, "What's this?"
Elena looked puzzled, "Are you crazy? That's your hand, isn't it?"
Suddenly, Ryder backhanded Elena in the face and smirked, "Oops! You got it wrong. This isn't a hand, it's a slap I'm giving you!"
