Chapter 26: Chapter 26: A Glib Tongue Deserves a Lesson Chapter 26: Chapter 26: A Glib Tongue Deserves a Lesson At five thirty, William Griffithâs car stopped at the entrance of âDemon Mangaâ comic book company. Today, he was driving a low-key Cayenne, so it didnât attract any attention.
Lewis sat in the car next to him, looking at his dad, feeling a bit annoyed. It was clearly his own idea to have dinner with Auntie Cherish, yet he had to drag me along!
âArenât you getting out?â
âDad, why donât you go up and call her yourself?â
âYou donât want the Moore Manor toy set anymore?â Someone raised an eyebrow deliberately.
Alright, Lewis glanced at William Griffith and accepted his fate. Who else could deal with such an unscrupulous father?
Lewis, who was naturally very cute and handsome, got out of the car and immediately attracted attention.
It was time to get off work, and the little guy was wearing a military green coat, his hair slick and shiny, and even wearing a pair of small sunglasses, which was a real eye-catcher.
âWhere did this cute little boy come from? Heâs so handsome!â
âYeah, he looks just like the character Iâve been drawing recently in my development comics!â
A few girls cast sidelong glances and whispered to each other, wishing they could strike up a conversation, but Lewis was particularly cool, hands in his pockets, and not looking at them.
Just then, Cherish Turner came down the elevator, and as soon as the door opened, she saw the little guy.
âAuntie Cherish!â
As soon as Lewis saw Cherish Turner, he ran over and hugged her.
âLewis? How come youâre here, whereâs your dad?â
âDad is waiting for you in the car! Weâre waiting for that big meal you promised!â
Cherish Turner was embarrassed. In fact, she didnât want to treat them to a big meal at all. What hadnât the CEO eaten before? Besides, she didnât have the money to treat them to a grand meal, but a casual meal would be fine.
A few colleagues passed by, hearing a little bit of the conversation, and became curious: âCherish, who is this adorable little baby to you?â
âUm, a friendâs child.â
âHehe, what kind of friend? Seems like a guy, right?â
A few people began to tease, while Yara King sneered maliciously!
âHaha, Cherish Turner, is this kid so close to you because youâre playing the role of a home wrecker? Hahahaâ¦â
âYara King, what kind of language is that?â Cherish Turner had wanted to ignore her, but Yara King kept targeting her and making unpleasant remarks. It was hard for someone with her fiery temperament to tolerate!
âWhatâs wrong with the way I talk? Canât you understand it? Cherish Turner, donât think I donât know that you got a permanent position today because Editor-in-Chief Davis called you. How did you earn that? I know it very well. What happened, did you climb into the bed of a rich man? But for someone like you, what else do you have besides selling yourself out?â
Several people around sensed the tense situation and started to gather around. They saw Cherish Turner standing there, holding onto little Lewis, looking upset.
âApologize!â
Just as Yara King was mocking her and thinking that her silence meant she was admitting to it, Cherish Turner suddenly spoke in a deep voice. Her commanding presence stunned everyone who was watching.
She was really angry now!
âApologize? What a joke! I didnât say anything wrong; why should I apologize? This little guy even said that his dad is waiting for you!â
âI told you to apologize! The truth is not what you said, so you must apologize!â
âCherish Turner, just because someoneâs backing you up doesnât mean youâre great. Youâve done something disgraceful, yet youâre afraid Iâll say it? Iâll say it: youâre a mistress, a married manâs mistressââ
Slap!
Suddenly, there was a piercing sound, and Yara King was stunned with her hand over her swelling cheek, unable to believe it!
Cherish Turner, who was usually soft and gentle, actually hit her?!
