MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND - Season 1 Episode 77

Bryce really deserved to be slapped for smearing her!

After being slapped, Bryce looked at Cheyenne in disbelief.

Throughout the years, he had gotten used to bullying Cheyenne. But he never thought that she would dare to slap him! “Damn it! Bitch, you actually have the audacity to…”

Smack!

Before Bryce could finish, another loud slap landed on his face!

Unlike Cheyenne’s slap, the second slap was extremely hard, and it sent Bryce flying immediately. He even spat out a few teeth stained with blood.

In merely a few seconds, half of Bryce’s face was swollen like a pig’s head, and he was in so much pain that he couldn’t speak at all.

The gaze in his eyes when he faced Lucas was full of horror and regret.

He had clearly seen how terrifying Lucas was in the Luxe, yet he still provoked him.

Lucas walked up to Bryce and looked at him coldly. “Don’t let me hear you insulting her again, or else I’ll be giving you more than just a slap.”

Bryce inhaled sharply and glared at Lucas furiously.

Lucas managed to knock out a few of his teeth with a single slap. It was obviously more than just a gentle slap.

Of course, people like Bryce would not understand he would die if Lucas had really hit him mercilessly!

Both of them ignored Bryce, who was lying on the ground, and immediately entered the Carter Corporation office.

At this moment, Dominic was entertaining a distinguished guest on the top floor of the Carter Corporation.

The guest was in his thirties, and his hair was neatly combed and tidied. He had a warm smile on his face and looked rather refined and easygoing.

All smiles, Dominic was holding a contract that he had just signed, and even the wrinkles on his face were stretched out. “Mr. Brooke, you’re young and promising. It’s a great honor for us to cooperate with the Solar Corporation!”

Dominic praised the young man incessantly.

With a smile on his face, the young man said, “Nah, we are at ease cooperating with an established family like yours. It will be a pleasure working with you!”

“Hahaha, yes, yes, it will be a pleasure. From now on, I will be counting on you, Mr. Brooke!” Dominic Carter chuckled.

“You may call me just Aston. You’re an elder, so you don’t have to be too formal with me,” the young man, Aston Brooke, said.

His respectful and humble behavior was to Dominic’s liking.

Aston Brooke was from the Brilliance Corporation. Although he was not from Orange County, his family’s status in Orange County was not to be belittled.

“I shall call you by your name then.” Dominic Carter chuckled and then pointed at a beautiful girl with exquisite makeup. “Scarlet, hurry and pour some tea for Aston.”

Scarlet stood up and picked up the cup of tea in front of Aston shyly. “Aston, I’ll go replace a cup of tea for you.”

Aston quickly declined. “I shouldn’t trouble this pretty lady. By the way, she is?”

Actually, he had already seen the beautiful woman sitting next to Dominic as soon as he entered the conference room and already knew his intentions. However, he had been feigning ignorance and thus waited until now to ask this question.

Dominic smiled. “She’s my incompetent granddaughter. Her name is Scarlet Wright. She’s very young and only twenty-years years old. After hearing that I’ll be discussing cooperation with you, she insisted on coming.”

“Grandpa! I’m not young!” Scarlet Wright protested as she subconsciously glanced at Aston with affection in her eyes.

Aston found it hilarious, but he didn’t show it at all.

The Carters were a small third-rate family. Aston obviously wouldn’t choose to marry her and form a union with them.

However, Scarlet looked rather pretty with makeup, and Dominic was obviously using her to get close to him. It would be a waste to turn her down. Anyway, there would be no harm in toying with her.

“Miss Wright is so innocent, pure, adorable, and pretty. It’s no wonder that she’s your granddaughter! I bet an excellent girl like her must have many suitors, right?” Aston said with a smile.

Hearing the compliment, Scarlet lowered her head shyly. “No, I’ve always been single!”

Aston laughed, pretending not to understand the meaning of her words. “The men here don’t seem to have good taste. How could they not pursue such a beautiful girl like you? They’re so useless.”

Dominic laughed. “Scarlet is young and doesn’t know much about such things. Aston, it happens that you’ll be staying here for a few days, so why don’t you let Scarlet take you on a tour around the city?”

Aston inwardly laughed at Dominic’s eagerness, but he didn’t decline and instead looked at Scarlet with a warm smile. “I’ll have to trouble you then, Scarlet.”

Hearing the change in Aston’s tone and the fact that he started addressing her by her first name instead, Scarlet couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

At this moment, an assistant knocked on the door and entered to report to Dominic, “Mr. Chairman, Cheyenne Carter is here and says she wants to talk to you about something.”

Dominic furrowed his eyebrows and said impatiently, “Can’t you see that I’m entertaining an important guest here? Tell her to go away. I don’t want to see her, and there’s nothing I have to say to her.”

Aston was immediately interested when he heard Cheyenne’s name.

In the past, Cheyenne was known as the greatest beauty of the county. And even Aston, who was from a different county, had heard of her, especially after her scandal. It was the talk of the town in several cities.

Aston was rather curious about the former greatest beauty of Orange County and wanted to see her.

Thus, Aston interjected to stop Dominic. “It’s okay. Since we’ve already settled on our cooperation, I won’t get in the way of you meeting someone else. You don’t have to mind my presence. Go ahead with the meeting.”

Hearing his words, Dominic immediately instructed the assistant to let Cheyenne come in.

The moment Cheyenne walked into the conference room, a flash of amazement appeared in Aston’s eyes.

Although Cheyenne was no longer the most delicate and beautiful girl in her early-twenties, she was still as gorgeous as ever. Aston couldn’t take his eyes off her.

She’s really worthy of being the greatest beauty of the county! Aston Brooke was amazed.

Lucas entered after her and immediately frowned when he saw Aston staring straight at Cheyenne without blinking. He quickly stood in front of Cheyenne and blocked her.
