Chapter 372: Thunder Strikes the Heavens
Everyone looked at Kayla with disdain on their faces. Kayla turned red and felt extremely embarrassed, even feeling a sense of shame.
But she had already walked to her bag, and she couldn't return empty-handed. This bag was a big brand, a reward she obtained after working hard in the embrace of a man for a night. She couldn't just let it go.
As she lifted the bag, preparing to leave, a middle-aged woman bedecked in gold and silver suddenly rushed forward.
"Home-wrecker!"
With a shout, the middle-aged woman tightly grabbed Kayla's hair. "So, it was you who seduced our De's husband, you shameless fox! How can you have no shame? When your mother gave birth to you, didn't she tell you that you shouldn't steal other people's husbands?"
"Cousin, help me!" Kayla's petite and weak figure was no match for the middle-aged woman. She could only evade and plead for help.
Emily originally didn't want to intervene, but considering that she and Kayla were in the same boat now, if she didn't help her today, she wouldn't have an easy time in the future. She arrogantly rushed forward to assist.
She didn't believe that two against one couldn't defeat one person.
Little did she know that the middle-aged woman had reinforcements. Seven or eight middle-aged women bedecked in gold and silver also charged onto the stage.
"Beat the home-wreckers! Beat them to death!"
"Yes, beat them fiercely! Beat them until they're crippled! Otherwise, we'll be the unlucky ones in the future!"
Kayla and Emily were no match for so many people. They had nowhere to hide and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
Kayla continuously knocked her head against the ground. "Sisters, I beg you please, stop this! I promise I won't seduce your men anymore. Besides, that's all in the past, I've changed now!"
"Changed? Who knows if you'll do it again in the future?" Bane's wife forcefully grabbed Kayla's hair and slapped her hard. With each slap, she uttered a harsh word.
"You dare steal my man? You dare steal my gold bracelet? What the hell are you? Are you worthy? Are you worthy? You wretched woman! Filthy woman! You shameless fox..."
In no time, Kayla was beaten all over.
These people were all wealthy and influential, so even if they injured someone, they had ways to handle the aftermath.
Emily knew this well and pleaded while crying, "Please, spare me. I am not that kind of person. I have never been a mistress. I am the heiress of the Watson Group. How could I be a mistress?"
Bane's wife slapped Emily hard and said hoarsely, "You wretched woman, how dare you have the audacity to say you're not that kind of person? We saw it with our own eyes! On the first day of their marriage, you came and caused trouble. Within the span of one banquet, you brought the intoxicated groom to a private room. Nothing happened, yet you accused him of touching you and demanded that he take responsibility!"
Emily cried out in grievance, "He did touch me, he really did, but he was drunk and doesn't remember anything..."
"He really touched you?" Ivy's face turned extremely cold, "Can you swear to that?"
"Really, I swear!" Emily raised her hand and...
"I swear on my hand, 'If I Emily were to utter even half a lie, may the heavens unleash thunderous fury!'" Ivy laughed mockingly. "So, you dare to lie! You dare to swear by lies!"
"Oh, is that so?" Ivy sneered. "Then let me grant your wish!"
Ivy concentrated all the energy from the Magic Pearl into the palm of her hand and waved it towards Emily's head.
"Boom—"
A deafening sound followed as a bolt of lightning descended from above.
Emily's hair instantly caught fire.
After a moment, Emily became completely bald, not even a single eyebrow remained.
Due to her unattractive appearance, she now resembled an odd alien.
The hotel was filled with the smell of burnt wool, as if it had been charred.
