Chapter 88 Collecting Debt He Owed
Listening to Liam's senseless remarks, to be honest, Kendall suddenly felt her hand itching. Especially Liam's smug expression, which made Kendall feel an irresistible urge to hit someone.
Kendall spoke coldly, "If you look at me like that again, I'll dig your eyes out."
Her tone and attitude instantly reminded Liam of his dark history of being beaten by Kendall before.
Liam, without another word, immediately turned his body and even closed his eyes.
Kendall laughed briefly, a trace of light mockery in her tone.
Mia was also a little afraid that Kendall would suddenly resort to violence, but seeing the other guests behind Kendall, Mia was no longer scared. With so many people around, they surely wouldn't just stand by and watch her and Liam get beaten, right?
Mia feigned dissatisfaction and stomped her foot. "Kendall, why are you threatening my second brother?"
Kendall's expression was ambiguous. "Your second brother?"
Mia's heart jumped heavily, and she immediately replied, "Of course! I've called him second brother for over twenty-three years! Did you forget what you said when you left the Hansen family?"
The day Kendall left, she had declared that from then on, she would have no relationship with the Hansen family!
"I haven't forgotten. Yours is yours. I don't like picking things out of a garbage can, and that includes people.
" Kendall's expression was indifferent. She casually returned Liam's earlier comment to him.
"Think carefully about why, at that banquet, out of all those people, I only kicked you into the water.
Why, I came back to the Hansen family after so long, you were still you, and I was still me.
Sometimes, instead of being pretentious or having impotent rage, you should look for the reason in yourselves. "
Liam, realizing his automatic reaction, looked mortified.
He hadn't expected that after being beaten by Kendall only twice, his body had already memorized the pain she inflicted.
That dodging movement was a completely subconscious reflex, not his true intention!
How could he, a dignified man, be afraid of Kendall, a woman!
user @CoolUncle: "Huh? What was Kendall saying just now?"
user @DetectiveSoo: "Why do I feel like their conversation has hidden meanings?"
user @MiaRedHeart: "Heh! So, at the banquet that day, Kendall not only kicked Mia into the water but also kicked Mia's family in too? And she dares to state it so righteously? Is that scum Kendall sick?!"
user @MiaIsTheBest: "Why did she use the word 'back'? The Hansen family is Mia's home, not hers. Is Kendall treating the Hansen family as her own home?"
The online comments made Diana's heart tremble with fear, but soon, these normal comments were immediately suppressed by the internet trolls the Hansen family had hired.
Jasper had heard rumours about Kendall suddenly appearing at the banquet and kicking all the Hansen family members into the water. He had even called Kendall afterward to vent his anger on Mia's behalf.
Now, seeing Kendall's sharp tongue, Jasper naturally couldn't stand to see Mia being wronged in front of him. He immediately stepped forward to defend Mia and scolded Kendall, "Kendall, show some respect in your tone when speaking to Mia."
"Respect?" Kendall had never heard such a ridiculous demand. "Is she my aunt or my mother? Why should I respect her?"
Mia's expression faltered, and Jasper also looked mortified, gritting his teeth and saying, "She is my future wife! The future madam of the Reed family!"
user @LoveIsInTheAir: "Wow wow wow! Truly Mia's fiancé. His statement is so powerful!"
user @MiaLove: "Hahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. I never thought I'd see a dominant CEO line from a novel in a variety show."
user @InterestedPasserby: "CEO Jasper's boyfriend-power is off the charts. This feeling of security is solid!"
user @UnapologeticallyHonest: "Uh uh uh, am I the only one who thinks that statement is really awkward?"
"Oh," Kendall's expression didn't change, and she lazily looked up. "And then what?"
"And then what?" Seeing that she didn't take the bait, Jasper's face darkened. "Kendall, living in this society, confidence and arrogance aren't enough. You may not know the standing of our Reed family in Orapolis. Some things that happen aren't as simple as you imagine."
user @LazyPanda: "Ahhh? Is he actually making a threat?"
user @WorkHard: "I swear! Employees hate capitalist threats the most!"
user @KindestMia: "What threat? CEO Jasper is clearly saying this to protect Mia. It's Kendall's fault for being so disrespectful before!"
user @MainCharacterMia: "What CEO Jasper said is correct. Which industry doesn't rely on connections for promotions and raises? Kendall has no money, power, or status. The Reed family could make her disappear from Orapolis if they wanted to."
user @AngryTeen: "What the heck? This is a society ruled by law! You can't just do whatever you want even if you're rich, okay!"
The comments were noisy, but Kendall, who was being threatened by Jasper, remained calm. Moreover, at this moment, Kendall suddenly remembered something.
Kendall looked at Jasper, her eyes slightly dangerous. "Do you know why I came to participate in this variety show?"
Jasper wasn't interested. "Who knows about you?"
Kendall stepped forward, her tone even. "Because the director said you would also be participating in this variety show. I came here just to see you."
user @MiaLove: "What the heck! This is our Mia's fiancé! Scum Kendall, stay away from our Mia's fiancé!"
user @ObsessedWithMia: "Ahhh, I'm going crazy. How can there be such a disgusting person as scum Kendall? After failing to seduce him and being kicked out of the Hansen family, she's throwing caution to the wind and running right in front of our Mia to seduce her fiancé?!"
user @GoddessMia: "Program team, quickly tell me where scum Kendall's physical body is stored! When she wakes up, I'll drown her with my spit!"
user @MiaIsTheBest: "Sister above, I'll have my grandpa drive over a truck of sewage water to wash her brain for her!"
Jasper clearly thought the same way as the audience in front of the screen. After hearing Kendall say those words, he looked at Kendall walking towards him with a clear expression of avoidance. "No matter how much you like me, I only have Mia in my heart. I..."
'What nonsense is this person saying?'
Kendall couldn't tolerate it anymore. Once she reached him, she directly swung a punch at Jasper.
"Ah!" The words that hadn't finished leaving Jasper's mouth instantly turned into a scream of agony!
Kendall's punch landed heavily on Jasper's face. Jasper felt a sudden, powerful force hit him, and before he could even react, he was struck. Jasper couldn't help but stagger back a few steps and fall to the ground.
user @JustHereForFun: "Holy cow! Assault!!!"
user @KingDaniel: "What is wrong with Kendall! She hits people whenever she doesn't like what they say?"
user @MiaPinkHeart: "Does scum Kendall have violent tendencies?"
user @DieHardEzraFan: "Mia's fiancé can probably sue her now!"
user @SophiaIsMyWife: "The person who throws the first punch is wrong. You shouldn't hit people no matter what."
Not to mention the shocked audience in front of the screen, even Mia, who was standing nearby, hadn't expected Kendall to actually dare to strike a person, and the person she struck was Jasper!
Mia let out a cry of surprise, then immediately rushed forward to help him up. After supporting Jasper, Mia couldn't help but turn back and angrily shout at Kendall. "Kendall, how can you just randomly hit someone!"
"Randomly hitting people?" Kendall sneered. "I'm collecting the debt he owed me before!"
"Impossible! Jasper wouldn't borrow money from you!" Mia answered without thinking.
Kendall said coldly, "Who said it must be a monetary debt? If it weren't for him, why would I have been lying in the hospital for a whole month before!"
Jasper, clutching the side of his face where he was punched, had a grim expression. "You specifically chased me to the variety show just to hit me over this trivial matter?"
Kendall countered, "Otherwise? To specifically run to a variety show to chase after you?"
After saying that last half-sentence, Kendall seemed disgusted by her own words, showing an expression of extreme revulsion and contempt.
Jasper was speechless. To think he had actually thought earlier... Jasper's face was a mixture of anger and awkwardness.
In the end, he could only furiously spit out, "Utterly unreasonable!"
Kendall didn't care about him. She made a provocative gesture toward Jasper. "Come on, let's fight."
Mia was currently holding Jasper. Kendall's cold glance made Mia instantly recall Kendall's past feat of defeating three people at the Hansen family villa.
Kendall was crazy! She really would hit people! Mia, without thinking, immediately released her hold on Jasper.
Seeing this, Kendall directly threw a vicious punch at Jasper.
How dare he call her being hospitalized for a month a 'trivial matter'!
She had to let Jasper know the true power of her fists!
user @GymBuddy: "So... so miserable..."
user @TopCommentor: "Hahahaha, where are the people who said Kendall came to the show to chase Jasper? Come out and see this!"
