Chapter 7

The panic and fluster on Sasha’s face vanished at that moment. The wealthy-looking young man Cece had injured was the only son of Larson Corporation, Hector Larson. The Larson family had only one son for generations, and Hector was born when his parents were in their autumn years, so they spoiled him terribly. Usually, Hector was so unruly and caused trouble everywhere he went. Since the Larson family was wealthy and powerful, they settled every trouble their darling son caused by hook or by crook. Over time, however, Hector became absolutely lawless. As a lustful person, he could not say no to any pretty woman. Sasha, on the other hand, held a grudge against Vicky after being ridiculed by her. Vicky was still Tyler's wife, and it was Senior Hart's birthday party today. Sasha knew it was not the time for her to take it out on Vicky. Nonetheless, she wanted to have Vicky suffer for the humiliation she felt, and this was why she took it out on Cece instead. Her initial plan was to attract everyone to the room and have them witness Cece having intercourse with Hector. She wanted everyone to know Cece was promiscuous. Vicky was the one who brought Cece to this birthday party, so embarrassing Cece was the same as embarrassing Vicky. However, what she saw was not what she had expected. Sasha smiled maliciously as she saw Mrs. Larson crying hysterically. She wanted to embarrass Cece, but to her surprise, Cece would somehow injure Hector so badly. What a huge surprise! Sasha pointed at Cece and said, "Mrs. Larson, your son was hurt by that indecent woman…" Mrs. Larson's gaze turned fierce. She walked toward the dazed Cece and raised her hand, intending to strike her face. Before her slap landed, however, Vicky grabbed her hand. Delight flashed across Sasha's eyes as she said, "Mrs. Larson, you should know Mrs. Hart is the one who brought Miss Lynn to this party." Right then, Mrs. Larson noticed Vicky, who was standing by the side. "So, you're the one who brought this b*tch here and hurt my son?" Vicky frowned. "Mrs. Larson, your son tried to molest Cece first. She merely acted out of self-defense." "Did he, or was she one who seduced him?" came Sasha's disdainful retort. "Who knows? I mean, as the only son of the Larson family, he could have any type of woman he wants: celebrities, models, and socialites. So many choices are available for him to pick from. Is it logical for him to like this no-name girl instead?" Everyone’s eyes fell on Cece. Although Cece was not the type of ethereal beauty who would stun people at first sight like Vicky, she had exquisite facial features and clear eyes. Her young and spirited nature helped her become the type of girl who looked more beautiful every time she showed up. Hector had a thing for clean, pure girls, and Cece… was exactly the type Hector would like. Nonetheless, no one would be so stupid to point that out. Mrs. Larson maliciously stared at Cece as contempt was written all over her face. "That's right. My son would never like this b*tch!" she declared viciously. "I bet this b*tch is trying to be Cinderella, but when her plan failed, she injured my son's head!" Cece's clothing was torn into strips, and any sane person could tell what happened. Nonetheless, Mrs. Larson ignored that fact and shifted all the blame on Cece. She then said rudely and unreasonably, "Vicky, I know you're the one who brought her here. Because of Tyler, I'll let you off the hook, but this b*tch…" She pointed at Cece as her gaze burned furiously. "I must have a say in how I want to punish her!" Cece was an innocent girl, and this was the first time she was involved in such a situation. She knew she had hurt someone she should not have and caused big trouble for Vicky. Her face turned pale amid her fear. "Vicky, I—" "Don't worry," comforted Vicky. "I'll handle this." Cece's nose twitched, and she stopped short of burst out in tears. Vicky looked at Mrs. Larson. "Your son tried to molest Cece, and Cece was just acting in self-defense. I'm sorry, Mrs. Larson, but I can't hand Cece over to you." Sasha, however, was not afraid to add fuel to the fire. "It's not up to you to decide if she deliberately harmed Hector or if it was self-defense. The truth had the final say." Hector did not actually get to do anything to Cece. She said it was self-defense, but there was no witness. The current situation instead showed that Hector's head got smashed badly and was, in fact, lying on the floor, unconscious. Even if many people knew Hector's personality, no one was willing to offend the Larson family. If it was necessary, some people might even stand out to testify for the Larson family to say that Cece was the one who hurt Hector. Out of the blue… "What happened?" A cold, low, alluring voice sounded. The crowd made way for the tall, handsome guy to enter, accompanied by Sheila who was walking beside him. Seeing the man, Sasha immediately told the story rather excitedly. "Tyler, it's Cece that bi—" Sasha quickly stopped herself when she realized how crass her next words were, and she quickly backtracked and said, "Cece had bad intentions when you and Ms. Shaw went to wish Senior Hart. She tried to seduce Hector but failed, so she got angry and smashed Hector's head. Look, Hector is still lying on the floor!" Tyler indeed saw Hector with his head bleeding badly. He asked, "Have you called the ambulance?" Vicky answered, "Yes." "Mr. Hart." Mrs. Larson's gracious face looked ugly and distorted in anger. Obviously, she tried to suppress her anger when she looked at the young, handsome man, but the hostility in her voice betrayed her. "As the host of this party, you should give me an explanation since my son suffered this severe injury at your party, shouldn't you?" Tyler glanced at her, and his face darkened. He answered lightly, "Don't worry, Mrs. Larson. I promise I'll give you an account of this matter. The top priority is to send your son to the hospital to get him treated in case of delaying the treatment." Right at that very moment, the ambulance arrived. Mrs. Larson also prioritized treating her son. Thus, she glared at Cece hatefully and warned her before she left, "Just you wait!" She also shot Vicky a stare before leaving. As Mrs. Larson left, Sasha still intended on slandering Cece and Vicky, but Tyler did not even take a look at her. His eyes instead fell onto the new outfit Vicky changed into before opening his mouth.
