Chapter - 228

“Whose child is this?” Adam scolded.

“Whose else? It’s obvious she’s Zeke’s,” Madeleine laughed. “Looks like he’s been cheating on Lacey from the beginning. I guess we’re lucky enough that he and Emily broke up.”

“You disgraceful bastard!” Adam roared.

“Bullshit!” Lacey yelled. “Sharon is Zeke’s friend’s daughter. She’s just staying at our place temporarily.”

“Do you think we’ll believe you? She looks a lot like Zeke to me!” Madeleine snorted.

Hannah couldn’t hold her anger in any longer. She jumped out of the car and pointed at Madeleine. “Another word from you, and I’ll sue you for slandering!”

“Me? Why don’t you take a look in the mirror first? Who here doesn’t know that you have a thing with the guard here? I see! That’s why the guard moved the fire hydrant and gave you the parking spot.”

The neighbours burst into laughter.

“I’m going to rip your mouth apart!” Hannah rolled her sleeve up.

“Oh? Hit me if you dare! I’m the mother of a second lieutenant! You don’t even have the right to look at me!”

Slap!

A loud and clear slap could be heard as Madeleine’s face turned sideways. It was such a powerful slap that it threw her to the floor.

A mark formed on Madeleine’s cheek and blood dripped from her mouth.

“This really is my first time hearing someone asking to be hit,” Zeke laughed coldly. “The one thing I’m good at is helping people fulfilling their wishes.”

The neighbors could not believe their eyes.

Hitting a family member of military personnel was a crime that could be court-martialed.

Zeke was digging his own grave.

“You bastard! How dare you hit me?” Madeleine cried. “Son! Take him down!”

“Zeke! You’re so dead!” Sam cursed. “How dare you hit my mother?”

“What? Are you all talk and no balls?” Zeke snorted. “If someone were to hit my mom, I would’ve fought back right away. You’re just a coward.”

“Sam! Take him down!” the crowd cheered. “There’s no way a useless scum like him can take your punch!”

“Take him down!” Madeleine yelled as well. “He’s the one who raised his hand first! You’re just trying to protect me.”

But Sam hesitated as he knew how powerful Zeke was. His opponent was someone who could rival 300 people with 20 men. Sam would surely lose if he and Zeke really fought.

Being defeated was not a big deal to Zeke, but he would lose all of his pride.

Just as Sam was hesitating, roars from engines could be heard as dozens of army vehicles approached.
