MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 4 - Season 5 Episode 96

Grace obviously wanted to put things to rest and didn’t want to let Lucas get into a conflict with Gisele.

Although Lucas understood her intentions, he didn’t intend to let Gisele off according to her wishes.

“No, it’s not the first time this woman has come looking for trouble with me. If I let her off this time, she won’t learn her lesson! If you’re worried that I will offend the Taylors because of this, that’s unnecessary. A mere Taylor family doesn’t mean anything to me,” Lucas said firmly.

Grace immediately recalled that when Lucas had helped her deal with Liam Wallace pestering her, he seemed to have also said that the Wallaces meant nothing to him.

In the end, Liam died. But Lucas was still well and alive, without having to face the revenge of the Wallaces.

She also thought of the fact that Lucas could donate millions of dollars to the hospital, as well as the respectful attitude of Ethan, the richest man in Orange County, when facing Lucas. This just went to show that Lucas was a wealthy person who held a certain level of power and authority.

In that case, he indeed wouldn’t have to worry about being targeted by the Taylors.

Ethan stood out and said, “Mr. Gray is right. There’s indeed no need to be afraid of the Taylors! If the Taylors have an issue with it, they can come to me!”

As soon as he said this, Gisele’s face became even more sullen.

Ethan was clearly standing on Lucas’s side too, and he didn’t mind supporting Lucas at the expense of falling out with the Taylors!

Atrocious!

Why does this bastard deserve such treatment from the Sawyers?

The restaurant lobby wasn’t that large, and their conversation was soon heard clearly by the onlookers, who were waiting for the matter to develop further.

“Who exactly is this young man? Ethan Sawyer is on his side, and he doesn’t mind going against Miss Taylor for this young man!”

“I don’t know, but I reckon he must be someone with an incredible identity! No wonder he insisted on confronting Cleve and Miss Taylor. It turns out he really has what it takes to do so!”

“Hehe, do you guys think Gisele Taylor will slap herself? Just look at how arrogant she was. Now, she’s finally defeated. I’m so happy!”

“Hahaha, why don’t we have a bet? Let’s see if Miss Taylor will slap herself or not.”

“Shh, shut up! Keep your volume down. Be careful they might take revenge on you! You’re not like that young man who has the power to go against the Taylors!”

…

All sorts of whispering spread to Gisele.

She was so enraged that her face flushed, and she felt a strong urge to nab these gloating people to beat them up. But she was now alone and vulnerable, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger.

“I’m giving you ten seconds. If you still don’t slap yourself, I’ll do it myself!” Lucas urged impatiently.

“Don’t be such a bully! I’ve already apologized. What else do you want?” Gisele said furiously.

Lucas sneered. “I’ve already said that as long as you slap yourself, I will let you off. This isn’t something resolvable with just an apology. It’s what you said previously! You have to pay the price for your mistakes. My patience is limited. You have five seconds left!

“Five…”

“Four…”

“Three…”

“Two…”

There were a bunch of outsiders in the restaurant interested in the gossip, and they helped Lucas count down.

Gisele was simply about to collapse.

What should I do?

What exactly should I do now?

Lucas would definitely not let her go, so her only options now were to slap herself or let Lucas slap her. The former would make her feel insulted, but the latter would cause her to be disfigured. She didn’t want to choose either option!

But the passage of time didn’t stop under Gisele’s determination. The few people had already reached the last second of the countdown, and Lucas had also raised his arm. Gisele finally couldn’t withstand the fear any longer and closed her eyes tightly as she raised her arm to slap herself.

Smack!

Her face was numb and in pain, but what hurt more than the pain was the humiliation.

Gisele had never been so aggrieved in her life before.

She wished she could vanish immediately, but there were still nine slaps she had to give herself.

Gisele gritted her teeth and raised her arm to slap herself again.

Smack!

Smack!

…

The crisp sound of slapping echoed in the restaurant lobby, and everyone was staring at the spectacular scene of Gisele slapping herself.

Soon, she finished delivering all ten slaps.

With flushed and swollen cheeks, Gisele yelled furiously, “Can I leave now?”

Her eyes were full of humiliation and resentment.

Lucas glanced at her coldly, and Gisele hurriedly lowered her head to cover her look of resentment.

“Get lost. The next time I see you bullying others, it won’t be as simple as today!” Lucas said coldly.

Gisele gritted her teeth and scurried out with her hand on her face.

Ahhhh! Ahhhh!

I must return the humiliation today!

After dealing with those people, the only person who was yet to be dealt with was the chubby manager.

The manager, who had been putting on airs, had long been terrified ever since Cleve and his underlings had their bones broken. He was frightened to the point of being paralyzed on the floor, not daring to move at all.

After watching Gisele slap her more than ten times before she could leave, the manager was even more horrified.

It turned out that this young man actually had such a powerful background, so much so that even Ethan defended him like this.

When he thought of the insults he had hurled at Lucas and the fact that he had wanted to force Lucas to eat the soiled rice on the floor that he had stepped on with his shoes, he felt like he was really going to die!

Had he known that things would have turned out like this, he would never have offended Lucas for the sake of sucking up to Gisele!

“Mr. Gray… Mr. Gray, I was blind to have offended you! Please forgive me!” The manager no longer cared about anything else and crawled toward Lucas to beg him.

Lucas kicked him away coldly. “Didn’t you have a good time being Gisele Taylor’s lackey just now? It’s too late to regret now!”

Seeing this, Ethan immediately understood that the lobby manager was also one of the people who had deliberately bullied Lucas.

“Bastard! Mr. Gray is my honored guest. You’re really daring! Bodyguards, break this man’s limbs and throw him out!” Ethan roared in fury.

Soon, the vile manager, who had been willing to be a loyal lackey to Gisele only because she was powerful, was brought away by the bodyguards.

After all the ignorant people had finally been dealt with, Ethan heaved a sigh of relief. He then turned to look at the woman in the waitress uniform. He said amiably, “Mr. Gray, is she your friend?”
