The more Chloe Marionette spoke, the more exhilarated she became, as Tanya merely looked at Alex
in disgust Jack Trent, however, begged to differ. âShut up!â He yelled.
Too engrossed in her own rhetoric, Chloe continued, âMr. Trent, stop being scammed by him! I know
him well and he is nothing but a crooked man who lives off his wife! It is only a matter of time before he
joins the rest of his clan in prison!â
Smack!
Jack slapped Chloe in her face in anger.
Chloe was dumbfounded. âWhy hit me, Mr. Trent? Itâs him you should be hitting!â
Tanyaâs eyes were wide open in shock, as she failed to comprehend why Jack slapped her daughter.
However, Leanne was her boss so she forced herself to remain silent.
âYou deserve to be hit! Didnât I tell you to shut your mouth? Who are you to insult Mr. Rockefeller, huh?
Get on your knees and apologize to him right away! Otherwise, Iâll make California a living hell for you
to live in!â Jack was fuming.
A shaken Chloe was puzzled and she only spoke the truth that was known to her.
Gently interjecting, Tanya asked, âMr. Trent, do we have a misunderstanding here?â
âThere is no misunderstanding. If your daughter doesnât apologize now, you donât need to come to work
anymore,â said Leanne coldly.
Tanyaâs legs almost gave way when she heard that. Both her husband and daughter were of no use as
she was the sole breadwinner of the family. If she were to lose this job, they were done for. Realizing
that, Tanya slapped her daughter angrily and said, âGet down on your knees and apologize now!â
âMom! Why did you hit me too?â
âShut up!â , as she returned two more slaps across Chloeâs face.
Alex looked on coldly. Chloe, to him, was of complete irrelevance hence whatever she did would not
affect him in any way whatsoever.
âSave the apologies. I donât like to get too close to a person with syphilis. They stink,â said Alex.
Syphilis?
Instantly, Chloe became the center of attention.
She quickly yelled back, âNo, you have syphilis! Your entire family has syphilis!â
âYou were under so many types of antibiotics, but none of them helped, right? Not only that, you feel
itchy down there, where it bleeds, has pus and itâs skin forms tag-like growths, which hurts whenever
you use the bathroom, am I right? This is an extremely severe case of syphilis,â Alex continued.
Chloeâs expression changed drastically as she cried out in humiliation, âHow did you know?â
She then quickly came to an instant realization that she unintentionally exposed herself.
Tanyaâs face turned a ghostly shade as she looked on, unable to speak.
Alex continued, âIf I am correct, this is a mutated form of syphilis. Not just that, youâve been infected
with a few other STDs too. Chloe Marionette, is this how you treat your body? Get treated immediately
and stop bringing harm to others!â
How could Tanya and Chloe stay on any longer after being horribly humiliated by Alex?
They left hastily.
Jack, on the other hand, kept apologizing to Alex.
Alex waved his hand and looked at Leanne. He then suddenly said, âMadam, can you lift your shirt up
for me to take a look at your belly?â
