Chapter 116: CHANGE OF PLAN 2
"She has every right to hit you however she likes. She also has a right to get you fired if you want to. She’s my wife and has the same authority as me."
"What are you doing? Are you calling me a liar?" Garth demanded, her disbelief palpable. She had expected Alanis to lash out at Harlow, to kick her out of the mansion himself. Or better still make her apologize to her. He would give her the power to do whatever she wanted with Harlow.
"Do you really need to ask her that? Isn’t my word and swollen cheeks enough evidence for you?"
But Alanis remained composed. "I need to hear the truth from my wife first before making any decisions. For all I know, this could be another one of your schemes," he said evenly, his gaze unwavering as it returned to Harlow.
Garth’s mouth fell open. Her son... was taking her side?
"My little villainess," Alanis said softly, his tone calm but commanding. "Did you do it?"
Harlow, still seated on the couch, met his gaze with boldness. "Yes. I slapped her. Hard. And I kicked her out of the mansion. The maid too, I made sure I beat her very well, but it seems my lessons weren’t learned very well husband, permit me to deal with that maid again." she replied, waiting for the inevitable backlash.
But Alanis didn’t react. Not in the way she’d expected. In fact, he hadn’t done anything she had expected of him tonight. He has been by her side all through.
"You don’t need permission to punish a maid. She’s yours to do whatever you want with?"
