Chapter 308 What Did You Say to My Wife?
Without hesitation, Ethan sidestepped and grabbed Emily's swinging fist, using force to throw him to the ground.
Emily was unaccustomed to such treatment and immediately burst into tears, drawing the attention of nearby parents.
Ethan was usually very low-key and had never revealed his identity to outsiders.
Now, with no parent around, Emily's mother thought he was just an ordinary child from an ordinary family and began to relentlessly berate him.
"Which wild child from what family dares to provoke my precious one?! Are you tired of living?” She sneered. "Look at your shabby appearance. I really wonder how you managed to get in here."
Emily's mother continued to insult Ethan, and he didn't want to stoop to her level, but his face turned red with anger.
Sarah hurried back and immediately shielded Ethan behind her.
"Excuse me, why are you insulting my son?" she asked Emily's mother.
"So what if I insult him? I even want to hit him!"
Sarah paid no attention and tried to grasp the situation before giving a scathing remark to Emily's mother, "Childish playfulness is common among kids, but as a parent, you come here and verbally abuse a child. You really have some nerve.
"Not to mention, it was your daughter who instigated the situation. Does he even have the ability to back it up?"
As people began to gossip, Emily's mother, panting heavily, pointed at Sarah and shouted, "Like mother, like son. Look at you! You might even be someone's mistress. Shameless!"
Sarah couldn't help but laugh at the audacity of Emily's mother. She was about to retort when suddenly someone embraced her from behind. "Who dares to point fingers at my wife?"
Antonio's aura exuded dominance as he held Sarah close and protected Ethan.
With just a single sentence, Emily's mother suddenly fell silent. Confined to her home, she lacked awareness of the business world's affairs, so she had no idea who these two people in front of her were. However, Antonio's chilling presence left her speechless, intimidated.
"What did you just say to my wife?" Antonio's narrowed eyes shot like icy arrows towards the ignorant woman.
Emily's mother swallowed nervously and placed her hands on her son's shoulders. "Never mind what I said. Look at what your son did!"
Raising an eyebrow, Antonio replied, "I know my son's character well. He wouldn't have acted if your daughter hadn't provoked him."
"So, you're saying it's all my daughter's fault!" Emily's mother immediately shouted, "You're unreasonable, right? Fine, I'll show you what happens when you mess with my daughter!"
With that, Emily's mother yelled at the staff at the racecourse, "Get your boss here, and let him settle this!"
Antonio let out a cold snort while Sarah sighed helplessly. There really were ignorant people in this world who were blind to their own ignorance.
On this side, Emily's mother was still boasting loudly, "Let me tell you, the owner of this equestrian center is my relative. We have a deep relationship. How dare you all think you're qualified to be here? Prepare to be kicked out!"
Soon, the owner of the equestrian center arrived.
When the owner saw Antonio standing opposite him, he instantly became flustered.
Who did Emily's mother have to provoke? She had actually provoked Antonio!
"Brian, you've come at the perfect time. Quickly kick these three people out for me. They've tarnished our sight here." Emily's mother arrogantly looked at Sarah and the others as if she were the boss there.
Before she could finish speaking, the owner of the equestrian center slapped her across the face. "Who do you think you are? You still want to kick Mr. Valencia out?! You really have no shame."
"You—"
"What 'you'! Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Valencia. Do you even realize who you've offended?"
As he spoke, he slapped her once again.
Only then did Emily's mother realize who this Mr. Valencia was...
"Could it be… he is Antonio Valencia?!"
Even an ignorant woman like her knew the famous name of Antonio. After all, their company relied on Valencia Inc., which her husband often discussed.
She immediately panicked and apologized, "I-I'm sorry, Mr. Valencia! I was blind. I will make sure to discipline my daughter when I go back. We won't cause any trouble for your son anymore! Feel free to hit me and scold me, but please don't blame my daughter!"
Emily's mother quickly apologized and regretted deeply.
Who would have expected that Valencia Inc.'s CEO would personally accompany his son for horse riding lessons?!
The owner of the equestrian center scolded Emily's mother, "Apologies are useless. From now on, your family is permanently banned from this equestrian center. Get out!"
Antonio spoke lightly, but his eyes were extremely sharp, "Hold on... The person she needs to apologize to is my wife and son, not me."
