Chapter 78 Smooths Things Over
Chloe didn't dare let Victor kneel.
After all, he was her grandfather.
Chloe quickly walked over and helped Oscar up from the ground. "Oscar, you get up first."
Then, she helped Julia. "Julia, you, you get up too."
Only then did the two of them stand up. But the others didn't dare to move.
Leo looked at Chloe and asked, "Chloe, you tell me, how should we punish them?"
"Me?" Chloe was flustered.
She had never seen such a scene.
These people kneeling were all big shots, many of whom had more assets than the Lewis family.
Leo suggested, "How about we let them slap themselves a few times? After all, it's Ms. Moore's birthday today, and it's not appropriate to punish them too harshly."
He looked at Chloe and then glanced at Larry.
Larry had a gentle expression.
Chloe was at a loss and looked at Larry, asking, "Larry, what should we do?"
Larry shrugged and said, "I don't know either, but these people have been disrespectful. I've been annoyed with them for a long time. How about we let them slap themselves fifty times?"
"Forget it." Chloe didn't want to make things worse.
She was still confused and did't understand why these people stood up for her.
She came to her senses and looked at the people kneeling on the ground, hurriedly saying, "You all get up first."
Hearing this, the crowd felt as if they had been granted amnesty.
"Don't let them get up," Larry raised his voice and shouted, "Give them a lesson so they won't dare to talk nonsense in the future."
"Right," Matthew followed Larry's lead and shouted, "Fifty slaps aren't enough. Let them slap themselves a hundred times."
Hearing this, Leo immediately understood Larry's intention. He kicked a man kneeling in the front and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Start slapping yourselves."
With one kick, the company president was knocked to the ground. But he didn't dare say anything. He got up again, knelt on the ground, and started slapping his own face repeatedly.
Because his company was also cooperating with Legion Lord, and with just one word from Legion Lord, his company would go bankrupt instantly.
Once one person started slapping, the others followed suit.
In the venue, there was only the sound of slapping.
Everyone else who was standing was particularly shocked.
This scene was a once-in-a-century event.
"What are you doing? Stop it, all of you, get up." Chloe was so anxious she was about to cry.
She thought it was just a few words and was not a big deal. There wasno need for this.
She looked at Leo, Matthew, and Samuel with a pleading expression. "Please, make them stop."
Larry also looked at the people slapping themselves and said, "Chloe is soft-hearted, she's letting you off. Thank her quickly, and don't talk nonsense in the future."
With Larry's words, Leo finally stopped and said, "Alright, get up."
The people kneeling on the ground finally stopped.
They stood up and stood aside, not daring to move.
Larry pulled Chloe and smiled. "Chloe, thank them quickly."
Hearing this, Chloe came to her senses, looked at Leo, Samuel, and Matthew with gratitude, and hurriedly said, "Thank you."
"Chloe, as long as you're happy, I can make them go bankrupt immediately," Leo said with a big grin.
Hearing this, these people were all shocked.
Some even fell to the ground in fright, instantly kneeling and begging, "Mr. Evans, I was wrong, I shouldn't have spoken out of turn, please give me a chance."
"Get lost." Leo kicked him.
The man immediately got up and scrambled out of the banquet.
Chloe was puzzled and looked at the few people, asking, "I don't know you, why are you standing up for me? Explain quickly, or else there will be rumors again."
She was really scared.
If today's events got out, there would definitely be more rumors about her.
People might say that Chloe had slept with these three men.
Chloe's words left the few of them stunned.
They thought, 'Explain, how to explain?
'Should we say that she has a powerful husband?'
They didn't dare.
Larry had been in Sunset City for so long without revealing his identity. If they said it, it would be courting death.
For a moment, the hall became quiet.
All the guests' eyes were on the three of them, wanting to know why these three big shots were so respectful to Chloe.
Larry stood aside, smiling at the three of them.
His expression seemed to say, "Go ahead, if you dare reveal my identity, you're dead."
Seeing Larry's expression, the three of them were terrified.
Kelly had been thinking that today's events needed an explanation. Otherwise, the rumors would get more exaggerated.
She stepped forward and said, "Actually, it's nothing. Do you remember the person you saved ten years ago?"
Chloe nodded and said, "You told me yesterday that the person I saved ten years ago from the Bennett family was the masked man who was executed by Free King recently."
Kelly smiled and said, "That's right, it was him who asked us to help you. But the masked man didn't want to see you, so he helped you in secret. Now, the life-saving grace from ten years ago has been repaid. He said he doesn't owe you anymore."
"But wasn't he executed by Free King?" Chloe asked with a puzzled look.
Kelly smiled and said, "He was indeed powerful, but not as powerful as Free King. He always remembered you and said he owed you a life. He instructed Leo and the others to take care of you. Now, the life-saving grace has been repaid."
Samuel saw that Larry didn't say anything, which meant he approved of Kelly's explanation.
He also stepped forward and said, "That's right, Chloe, we have repaid his life-saving grace for him."
Leo nodded and said, "He said he owed you, but never had the chance to repay you. If it weren't for Free King taking over, he would have come out to repay you. But now, he doesn't have the chance anymore. He has been executed by Free King."
Hearing this, everyone finally understood.
It turned out that these people were so respectful to Chloe because of the person she saved ten years ago.
The person Chloe saved was the one executed by Free King.
These big shots owed the masked man a favor, so they helped her.
Now, the favor had been repaid.
These big shots wouldn't help Chloe anymore in the future.
Victor had been sitting on the sofa, and seeing this scene, he felt disheartened. He thought Chloe really had great power and that the Lewis family had become a prestigious family. But it turned out to be like this.
These people were just repaying a favor.
Now that the favor was repaid, it had nothing to do with Chloe.
Larry glanced at Kelly.
Now, he realized that Kelly had long known his identity and even knew that he was the one who killed the heads of the Four Great Families.
"Ms. Moore." He smiled at Kelly.
Kelly turned to look and saw Larry's smiling face. For some reason, she felt her whole body start to tremble and showed a slightly awkward smile, saying, "Mr. Bennett."
"Thank you," Larry said.
Although Kelly knew his identity, it was Kelly who resolved the situation, allowing Chloe to accept it and everyone to understand.
Otherwise, his identity might have been exposed. Then, he and Chloe might not be together. Because his hands were stained with blood.
Chloe would never be with someone like him.
