The mont he finished those words, Martha slapped him hard.
The next second, Arthur was lying on the floor, looking stunned, while Martha stared at him in disbelief.
Martha then said coldly,
"I let you off easily by just slapping your face. If you dared to say those words in front of Sir Silas, your entire family would be wearing mourning clothes the next day."
Arthur stared at Martha in disbelief and pointed at her, shouting,
"You bitch! How dare you try to slap ? Do you even know who I am?"
Martha nodded and said, "You are a delusional person who needs to get out of his delusion."
Evans family: "..."
In an instant, Angelina and Kate, as well as Marcus, were speechless.
Marcus stared at Martha, then decided to play the trump card he had held back.
He put his hand behind him the mont he saw that Martha’s attention was on him.
Then Marcus said in a grim voice,
"There is an engagent between Ivy and Arthur, and at least you should respect it. If she can’t co and break it off openly, then at least she should have so sha and ask the other party to break it on her behalf."
Hearing those words, Martha raised an eyebrow and asked,
"What proof do you even have?" Marcus imdiately took out a necklace.
The mont Martha saw a black necklace that had a missing pendant. It was just a black chain, to be precise.
Marcus ignored her reaction and continued with his one-sided speech as he said,
"As long as you present this black chain to Ivy, she will imdiately know that it belongs to her. This is an engagent token, and Ivy’s family also took an engagent token from us."
Martha calmly said,
"Miss Ivy hasn’t inford about any such so-called engagent token. If you want, then you should go and confront Ivy directly after getting kicked out of this place."
Marcus clenched his fists and said,
"Even though I don’t have much connection in the upper class and don’t have a lot of food, that doesn’t an I can’t create chaos. I only request one thing from you: hand this black chain to Ivy as proof, and let Ivy co and testify for us. As long as Ivy accepts or denies the proof, we will leave peacefully. Otherwise, I won’t stop causing chaos."
Martha laughed and pointed at the bodyguards standing beside her, asking,
"Do you think that with so many bodyguards around, I need to fear your tantrum or your threats? You can keep dreaming."
With that, she pointed at her bodyguards, who imdiately nodded. These bodyguards were, in fact, superhumans with various kinds of powers.
One had psychic power, another had thunder, another ice, and so even had fire superpowers.
To say they were one of the most dangerous combat teams wouldn’t be a lie, and to think that Angelina’s family would even consider going against these bodyguards was nothing but stupidity.
Angelina saw the bodyguards and imdiately spread her arms, saying, "We will leave. Martha doesn’t need to be so aggressive."
Martha nodded and said,
"I wouldn’t have been so aggressive if you hadn’t proven to how trashy you all are. In fact, I’m disgusted by your move of using Ivy’s na to drag your feet. How can you go as low as making up an engagent on the spot and even threatening to see Ivy just because you think you knew the past Ivy? Truly, you are very shaless."
Angelina dragged her family mbers, and Marcus was furious.
From his perspective, won were nothing more than the soles of shoes.
’How dare Angelina order us around?’ His anger doubled by the fact that Ivy didn’t even show up and instead asked another woman to kick him out.
Hence, without hesitation, he slapped Angelina hard across her face.
Angelina was stunned as she touched the slight blood slipping from the corner of her lips.
Marcus pointed at her and asked in anger, "How dare you hold my hand and order around?"
Angelina was furious, and she stared at her father with a grim expression, saying,
"If we don’t leave now, then those bodyguards will kick us out, and we will be utterly disgraced. Is that what you want?"
If Marcus had looked properly, he might have realized that Angelina was speaking in a very calm tone, as if she were looking at a dead person.
However, he was too consud by his emotions and shouted at Angelina loudly,
"Forget about ordering around! Even if those bodyguards co near , I will continue to cause chaos!"
With that, he turned toward the neighborhood, which was indeed crowded because there weren’t many houses left, and he shouted,
"Ivy, the representative of this base, is so shaless! Her family arranged an engagent before the apocalypse, but now that she has gained power in this base, she is breaking it off in such an unclear way just because she might have found soone more rich. She doesn’t want others to know about her past and wants to push away the poor. For the rich, she is using such despicable thods! She should be removed as a representative.... she doesn’t deserve to stay in this base!"
However, his neighbors were very grateful toward Ivy.
In fact, the crowd also included a few people who had been to the hospital earlier, and without hesitation, they shouted at Marcus,
"You are in no position to talk about Ivy, considering how much she has done for this entire base! You are nothing but a leech! Do you think we don’t know what kind of male chauvinist you are? We held back only because we thought Ivy was related to you, but now that we think about it... How can soone as beautiful, smart, intelligent, capable, talented, and sophisticated as Ivy be related to your disgraceful, delusional, conceited, cocky, classless son?"
Hearing those words, for a mont, everyone froze.
Even Arthur felt ashad and pointed at the woman, shouting, "How can you insult like that?"
