Chapter 76 You Have to Pay the Price
Pain spread out on Jocelyn’s face.
The bright five-finger mark looked particularly harsh on her face.
Her face instantly swelled up.
The anger Jocelyn had been forcibly suppressing at the bottom of her heart was instantly struck out by this slap.
The hand hanging at her side instantly clenched into a fist.
She wanted to hit back, but she knew that if she fought back at such a time, Sara would definitely make a big deal out of it, which would not do her any good.
Looking around her, she placed her eyes on the red fire alarm button in her hand.
The next moment her gaze fell on Sara’s face, she took a step towards her and questioned in a cold voice, “What are you doing?”
With this step, the alarm button was just at the level of her elbow.
“I’m teaching you a lesson. It’s enough to bribe people in the prison to bully me and your sister.”
“And now you’re doing this to your sister at the wedding, how can you be so vicious? Are you done with this or not?”
Sara’s words were loud and clear.
Such a statement could not help but make Jocelyn feel ridiculous.
She was clearly saying, “It’s okay for us to bully you, but you can’t fight back, and if you do, you’re guilty.
“You are so shameless.” Jocelyn snorted coldly and elbowed the button without a trace.
In an instant, alarm bells rang out loudly throughout the floor.
Sara subconsciously felt that there was a fire somewhere, and immediately looked around, her heart in her throat.
At that very moment, the people in the banquet hall came out in an orderly manner.
All carried frightened faces.
“Everyone, don’t run. Sorry, it was me who accidentally pressed the alarm button just now.” Jocelyn said as she raised her voice and looked at them.
The crowd instantly stopped at a distance of about one metre from Jocelyn and Sara.
At the corner, Noah stood there quietly, his deep gaze crossing the sea of people and resting quietly on Jocelyn’s face, the corners of his cold lips slightly hooked in a meaningful curve.
“What? It’s you?” Sara asked coldly, instantly understanding Jocelyn’s intentions!
This bitch was doing it on purpose!
Jocelyn was trying to use this method to recruit all the people over! So that her actions would be made public, so that she would be disgraced, and so that all that she had done would reach Allen’s ears.
She really didn’t expect that Jocelyn would actually use this trick!
She had thought that at this hour, there would be no one at the lift entrance, so she had planned to teach Jocelyn a lesson and leave straight away, and then find someone to delete the surveillance so that all this would not be known to others.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
However, Jocelyn’s move not only made all her thoughts go to waste, but also possibly made her finish even more completely.
Jocelyn did not look at Sara, but simply calmly turned her face to the public.
The calm crowd soon noticed the slap marks on Jocelyn’s face.
Everyone looked at Jocelyn and then at Sara beside her and immediately understood everything.
The next second, there was an uproar.
Noah’s brows knitted slightly, he pushed aside the crowd and stood in front of Jocelyn, cupping her face with his hands carefully, “Are you alright?”
Jocelyn nodded gently.
“Apologise.” Noah’s tone was domineering, not allowing anyone to refuse, like an emperor standing on high and giving orders, overriding all beings.
“What?” Sara pretended to be innocent.
“You hit her.” Noah said in a cold voice.
“Don’t be ridiculous, I didn’t!” Sara immediately retorted, subconsciously taking a few steps back.
Gloria ran out of the crowd, directly pulling Sara’s hand and said, “Mom, let’s go.”
“You want to leave?” Noah’s voice, as always, was cold.
“My mother has said that she didn’t hit Jocelyn. Since you can say that she hit Jocelyn, I can say that Jocelyn hit herself and framed my mother afterwards. You are her husband, so your words can’t be taken as evidence.” Gloria looked dissatisfied.
“Can that camera be taken as evidence?” As the words fell, Noah’s gaze coolly fell on the overhead surveillance.
Sara, Gloria, and the crowd of onlookers immediately placed their gazes on it as well.
Gloria and Sara’ faces instantly went white.
The crowd of onlookers was increasingly chattering.
“What the hell do they want? One after another, they’re making a joke here.”
“I really feel for the Stewart family, the Stewart family won’t have a good time in the future.”
“It’s a shame, I didn’t expect Sara to be such a violent maniac, what a vicious stepmother. How dare she not admit to beating Jocelyn?”
Joseph, Archie and Phoebe, who were in the crowd, all three of them had their faces turned black.
All three of them wanted to skin Gloria and Sara.
“Apologize.” Noah spoke again in a cold voice.
The strong sense of oppression caused Sara and Gloria to subconsciously take a step back.
Archie could not stand to see it anymore, so he gave Sara a fierce glare, turned around and left.
Joseph, Phoebe, Bella quickly followed.
Gloria and Sara were momentarily shocked by him and did not dare to speak.
“That’s outrageous …”
“Yeah …”
The murmurs from the crowd continued.
The gazes of the crowd made the two feel like manacles.
Sara forced herself to calm down and looked at Jocelyn with an unhappy face, “I hit her because she disrespected her elders and contradicted me. As an elder, it’s not illegal to educate a junior in that situation, right?”
“But I clearly saw that it was you who disrespected the junior and hit her.” Noah added.
“Nonsense!” Sara denied.
Noah raised his brows lightly and gave Sara a deep look before his gaze coolly fell on the waitress watching the scene next to him and waved his hand towards her.
The waitress immediately stepped forward, lowering her head and cautiously inquiring, “What are your orders?”
“If I remember correctly, the surveillance in this hotel is with recording, right?” Noah asked.
“That’s right.”
As soon as Sara and Gloria heard this, their pupils immediately shook dramatically at the same time.
“Go and bring it over, then I will hand it over to the police.” Noah said indifferently.
Gloria pulled the waitress and looked at Noah with dissatisfaction and said in a low voice, There’s no need to make such a scene in our own family, that’s enough.”
“If you touch my woman, you’ll have to pay the price.” Noah spoke with dominance.
“What do you want?” Gloria lowered her voice again, with a bit of panic under her eyes.
“Either apologise, or go back in prison.” Noah said.
