Chapter 985

The only way for me to get my point across would be me hitting her.

Slap!

Crisp and loud, a tight slap landed on Lyndsay’s cheek.

She was dumbstruck by the sudden blow he had landed on her, so she stared at Levi in utter disbelief.

“How dare you slap me?”

“I only did so because you refused to kneel before me.”

Slap!

Levi then gave her another slap.

Within seconds, the woman’s reddened face swelled up severely.

“I’ll hit you once more if you don’t get on your knees.”

Slap!

“Are you going to kneel or not?”

Just when he was about to slap her for the fourth time, Lyndsay fell heavily to her knees with a thud in front of him, begging with a whimper, “I… I will kneel now… Don’t hit me anymore…”

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud…

She knelt before Levi ten times.

In the meantime, the employees of the Morris Group looked at the two with curiosity in their eyes.

Even Zoey and Iris were watching the scene play out.

“Iris, what’s going on? Why would the arrogant Lyndsay Granger kneel in front of Levi? This is unbelievable!” Zoey exclaimed.

A secretary beside them agreed, “You’re right. Lyndsay is the vice president of Pinnacle Group. Why would she do this?”

Iris only gave the woman an awkward smile without saying a word.

Because he’s the omnipotent boss of Morris Group.

Staring at the scene downstairs, Zoey was intrigued by Levi, the enigmatic man.

He sure is a man of mystery.

Levi stood at the company’s entrance and flashed Lyndsay half a smile. “You wouldn’t have gotten slapped if you had just been honest and knelt before me.”

The woman scuttled away hastily once she finished kneeling to him.

Her eyes were full of hostility and resentment as she left in a hurry.

Six years ago, he chased me out of North Hampton, and that moment was the biggest shame in my life. Now, he made me go through such terrible humiliation again.

Her hatred toward him began to grow even stronger.

“Just you wait, Levi Garrison. I won’t let you off the hook for this!” she growled at him through gritted teeth.

However, Levi couldn’t care less about her and her threats. “You couldn’t stand against me six years ago, let alone now.”

Lyndsay rushed over to ask Jayden about Levi, and the latter gave her a straightforward answer, telling her that she had no right to enquire about the matter.

It was late at night when Levi reached home.

He saw Emma oozing delight and excitement when he stepped into his house.

“Mom, what made you so happy?” he asked.

“Levi, your grandpa has asked me to head back to the Jones residence. He’s going to reinstate me as the daughter of the Jones family and rewrite my name on the family register in our family’s ancestral shrine,” his mother replied with much enthusiasm.

The woman didn’t have many wishes. Returning to the Jones family was one of them.

Nevertheless, Levi’s brows knitted together at his mother’s words.

The Joneses never mentioned this before. Why do they want to reinstate Mom all of a sudden?

He let out a snicker as a wave of realization hit him.

This must be an order from the Garrison clan. Michael must have thought the Garrison clan has decided to let bygones be bygones and thinks that they’ve stopped going against mom and I. Little does he know that this is just a scheme of theirs. The Garrison clan is trying to lure us out of here so that they can kill us on the way to the Jones residence or in South Hampton.

Michael came to pick Emma up himself the next day.

The father-and-daughter duo delightedly chatted for a while upon seeing each other.

Emma asked inquisitively, “Dad, did the Garrison clan really ask you to reinstate me as your daughter? Does this mean they won’t pursue the matter anymore?”

Michael let out a light laugh while nodding his head. “That’s for sure. I believe they will stop holding you accountable. That’s why I’m allowing you to come back home.”

She shed tears of joy at the news.

“Finally, my son and I are safe. We can now live in peace.”

Levi chose not to debunk the scheme too early. I’m okay with it as long as mom is happy.
