It was as if the whole world had been put on pause.
Sandria stood in front of Courtney, slowly lowering her reddened hand.
“I’ve really had enough of you.”
One side of Courtney’s face swelled up visibly, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. She was com- pletely stunned, clutching her face and staring at Sandria in disbelief.
“You hit me?”
Sandria looked at her, her red lips parting slightly. Her voice was icy, but carried a hint of vengeful satisfaction.
“So what if I did? With a mouth that foul, don’t you deserve it?”
The entire banquet hall was dead silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared wide–eyed at Sandria, who had just slapped someone, then at the stunned Courtney.
Courtney clutched her burning face, her mind buzzing, completely dumbfounded.
Florentino was the first to react. Seeing the swelling on Courtney’s face, his heart skipped a beat!
“Sandria! Are you crazy?”
He rushed over and grabbed Sandria’s wrist, squeezing so hard it was as if he wanted to crush her bones.
“How dare you hit Courty! Do you still not understand your place? Courty is from the Mosley family, and you? You’re just a powerless orphan! I order you to apologize to Courty right now, or this won’t end well for you!”
This was madness. It was one thing for her to throw a tantrum in front of him.
But the Mosley family–did she really think she could afford to provoke them?
After saying this, he turned to Ashlan, his tone lowering.
“Mr. Schroeder! This woman is far too rude. I’ll have her leave at once!”
But Ashlan’s face was colder than ever.
He didn’t even hear what Florentino was saying. His ice–cold eyes were fixed on the hand Florentino had on Sandria.
A terrifying murderous aura radiated from him.
“Let go.”

Florentino was stunned, then nodded and looked at Sandria.
“Mr. Schroeder told you to get out, so hurry up and go…”
He was right! How could someone of Ashlan’s status possibly be interested in Sandria!?
That gentleness from before must have been an act!
Now that this woman had brazenly slapped Courty, Mr. Schroeder must be angry, right?
Florentino pressed his lips together, tightened his grip on Sandria, and started dragging her out.
But in the next second, a dark shadow swept in with a gust of wind!
“Bang-!”
A dull, thunderous crash sounded.
Florentino was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, kicked away by a tremendous force!
He crashed into a nearby champagne tower, the sound of shattering glass sharp and piercing, wine and desserts spilling all over him.
A collective gasp swept through the guests!
Everyone was so shocked by this sudden scene, their souls nearly left their bodies!
Ashlan slowly withdrew his foot.
He walked over to Sandria, gently pulling her behind him with a movement that was the epitome of tenderness and protection.
“Are you alright?”
He had wanted to act for a long time.
Sandria was momentarily stunned to see the man kicked away, but then she couldn’t help but let out a soft, amused laugh.
“I’m fine.”
Ashlan looked at her wrist, reddened from being grabbed, his gaze turning somewhat dark.
He realized he had kicked too lightly just now. Then he turned around, facing the astonished guests and the utterly di-
sheveled Florentino on the floor.
His voice, cold and clear, echoed throughout the entire hall.
“Allow me to reintroduce someone to you all.”
He gently placed his hand on Sandria’s shoulder, his pride and cherishing of her completely undisguised.

“This is my biological sister, Sandria. She is also the one and only young lady our Glottenham the Schroeder family has searched for over eighteen years!”
Boom! The entire hall erupted in an uproar!
Sister! Ms. Schroeder!
These two words struck everyone like thunderbolts from the sky!
