Chapter 40
Before Tasha could finish her sentence, Howard slapped her hard, ruining her makeup. All eyes turned toward them, dumbfounded. Even though she was shocked, Kaylee found a sense of satisfaction-she had not expected Howard to have such audacity.
On the other hand, Yuffie gazed at Howard with admiration, impressed by his bold move. After a brief moment of hesitation, Talia opened her mouth as if to say something but decided against it.
“H-How dare you hit me?” After a considerable pause, Tasha shouted hysterically. “You-bastard! I’ll make sure to skin you alive!”
Before she could finish her threat, two crisp sounds echoed through the room, leaving Tasha’s cheeks swollen.
“From now on, if you dare call Riley a bastard child again, I’ll make sure you never speak again,” Howard warned with a stern gaze.

addy, let’s go. I don’t want to stay here.” Riley trembled when she w Albert’s expression.
“Riley, don’t worry. I’ll take you away in a moment,” Howard reassured, patting Riley’s back.
Regaining some composure, Tasha gritted her teeth and shouted, “So, you’re the jerk!”
“Tasha, shut up!” Talia scolded angrily. She then took a deep breath, bit her lip, and turned to face Albert. “Grandpa, what happened back then was my choice. Don’t blame Howard. If you don’t want him here, we can leave. But I hope you won’t speak ill of Riley anymore!”
“Howard is Riley’s biological father and my fiance. We’ll be married soon!” Everyone turned to look at her.
