Chapter 1137

Just then, Wyatt wrapped his arm around Celeste's shoulder. His warm palms pressed gently against her shoulder, and his fingers exerted a subtle pressure. Though he remained silent, Celeste could clearly feel the steady

rhythm of his heartbeat. With tear-filled eyes, she found solace in his presence, knowing she had a refuge for her troubled soul.

"Chairman Salvador, as the head of the household, can you do

something to control this foul-mouthed woman from your family?"

Wyatt's voice suddenly turned cold. His sharp gaze seemed to pierce

through Shannon's very core.

Everyone was shocked to hear that.

Foul-mouthed woman?!

If he were to wear a mask, nobody would have guessed that these words came from the prominent businessman, Wyatt Thompson!

Shannon's face was flushed with humiliation and fury. Her face was

as red as a beet.

However, when she met Wyatt's fierce gaze, she visibly flinched.

Justin was completely stunned, unsure of how to react. "Chairman Thompson... That was unexpected. Bella, I think I know where you got your attitude from now.".

"Well, outsiders are always surprised to find out this side of him. He's been like this ever since I was born. He's even more aggressive at

home. Get used to it."

Just as Bella finished speaking, her phone suddenly buzzed.

She glanced discreetly at it, her long eyelashes drooping.

In an instant, Bella fixed a cold gaze on Shannon, her lips curling

upwards.

"Shannon, your behavior this time was clearly inappropriate. You need to apologize to Mrs. Thompson now" Gregory ordered, his tone icy as he took a deep breath.

Shannon seethed with fury, her teeth clenched painfully against her

gums.

She had underestimated Wyatt's protectiveness toward Celeste. It was a level of care she had never received from Gregory.

But while she dared to confront Celeste, she dared not provoke Wyat So, through gritted teeth, she apologized in a low voice, "I was momentarily carried away by my emotions earlier and lost my composure. I'm sorry, Mrs. Thompson."

"Heh, is that all you have to say?"

Wyatt's gaze was piercing, burning like fire. "Do you think you can just mess with the Thompsons as you wish? Do you think you can just bully my woman as you like? Also, you used malicious words against my daughter earlier. Do you think I was deaf and couldn't hear what you spewed? You got on my nerves, and now you think a simple apology will suffice? There's no such bargain in this world." "Chairman Thompson, what do you want, then?" Gregory was growing

impatient.

Although he was, displeased with Shannon for causing trouble, Wyatt's attitude toward the Salvadors also irked him.

"I want your foul-mouthed woman to slap herself twice-one for my Celeste and another for my daughter. For the sake of Old Master

Nigel, I'll let her off easily this time." Wyatt demanded casually.

However, it hit everyone else like a nuclear bomb!

Demanding Shannon to slap herself? Why did Wyatt not find

someone to humiliate her more directly?

"Y-You're being ruthless! I'm a wealthy tycoon's wife! I'm Chairman Salvador's wife! How dare you demand such a thing?!" Shannon

protested angrily, stomping her feet and yelling in frustration.

Though Gregory's expression was grim, he did not object to Wyatt's

request.

Nevertheless, Wyatt could not wait any longer and angrily called out, Quentin!"

"Yes, sir!"

Quentin was more than just a mere assistant. He was like Wyatt's trusted aide, always ready to carry out his command.

In an instant, he was standing before Shannon.

Before anyone could react, he swiftly raised his arm and delivered

two sharp slaps to Shannon's face.

"Argh!" Shannon cried out in pain, her cheeks instantly turning red and

swollen.

Back then, Quentin had a ninth-degree black belt in karate. It was more than enough for Shannon to learn the hard way not to mess with the Thompsons.
