"Not a single person in this family is any good." Annabelle didn't even spare him a glance as she scoffed, "You're both two of a kind. It takes two to tango. You're both just freeloaders, so who are you to talk!"
"You!" Mr. Yates's face turned livid, and he raised his hand to slap her.
Just as the hand was about to fall, Annabelle watched him without a trace of fear. With a subtle movement, she easily dodged the slap.
"President Yates, we have a long road ahead of us. Did you think you could just slap me and get away with it for free? Did you think there would be no consequences?"
Mr. Yates immediately fell silent.
His company was in the crucial process of going public. The rumors about the Linton Family's collapse were unreliable, and Annabelle was both the eldest daughter of the Linton Family and the Young Madam of the Grant Family. He truly had nothing to gain from slapping her.
