Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1097: Slapping Her

"I didn’t make it up, it’s true. Besides, Your Excellency Kidd, I’m sure you saw just now, that woman left with the descendant of the Kanes. It’s obvious where her heart leans..."

Anna had never been humiliated like this before.

First, she was publicly shamed by the descendant of the Kanes and that woman, and then everyone thought she was orchestrating the marriage with The Kane Group.

She couldn’t swallow this. That’s why, even if there was a one-in-a-million chance, she wanted to destroy Roman Kidd’s trust in that woman.

As long as Roman Kidd no longer protected her, Anna would have a chance to take action and reclaim her justice.

But before she could finish her sentence, Roman Kidd suddenly slapped her across the face.

With a loud "smack," the sound was not small.

So much so that the people around them all turned to look. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Even Andre, who was talking with friends in the distance, noticed the commotion over here.

Upon realizing that the main character of the event was his own daughter, Andre hurriedly left his friends behind, quickly went to Anna’s side, and helped her up.

"What on earth is happening here?"

Andre’s gaze shifted between Roman Kidd and Anna, clearly inquisitive.

Anna’s face was entirely swollen, but more than that, she felt humiliated.

She couldn’t hold it in and started to cry.

"Dad, he hit me! He actually hit me!"

From a young age, Anna had been well protected and never hit by anyone.

Even Andre couldn’t bear to lay a finger on her.

These unexpected changes were one thing, but now she was getting hit in front of so many people. How could she show her face in the future?

"Your Excellency Kidd, it’s not gentlemanly to use violence."

Andre was aware that his daughter was a bit difficult and willful.

But he didn’t think that justified her being hit.

Unexpectedly, Roman Kidd followed up on his words and said, "Yes, it’s true that using violence isn’t gentlemanly, but I had no choice."

Roman Kidd shifted the blame back, and Andre could only ask his daughter, "What did you do?"

Anna, feeling extremely wronged, said, "What could I do? What could a woman like me possibly do to him? He’s the one who hit me without distinguishing right from wrong!"

Upon hearing this, although those present didn’t dare openly discuss the rights and wrongs of this high-ranking figure, the looks they gave Roman Kidd were full of skepticism.

It was like they were asking, "Can someone as unreasonable as you actually be fit to be president?"

Even Andre’s gaze carried that implication.

Anna thought this was her victory in swaying public opinion.

To her surprise, Roman Kidd mercilessly pointed out her actions:

"You can do plenty, like using that foul mouth of yours to tarnish my friend’s reputation! A slap was already a light punishment; if it happens again, it won’t just be a slap."

Besides pointing out Anna’s previous actions, he also expressed his dislike for Anna without any cover.

In that moment, those around them understood that the problem lay with Anna.

Compared to Roman Kidd, Anna’s status was significantly lower.

So the words they dared not say before now came tumbling out one by one.

"I guess Anna must have said some nasty things. Otherwise, how could someone as refined and elegant as His Excellency Kidd be pushed to the point of hitting someone!"

"She must have spoken ill of His Excellency Kidd’s beloved. If I were him, I’d hit her too! There’s no need to hold back with someone who’s neither kin nor kind!"

"Some people think they’re invincible just because they’re Andre’s daughter, that they can do whatever they want. Little do they know there’s always someone stronger, and today she hit a brick wall!"

"It’s one thing to cause trouble in front of others, but causing trouble in front of His Excellency Kidd? Doesn’t she worry that His Excellency Kidd might get angry and wipe out The Pitt Family?"

Listening to these people, Andre’s expression darkened even more, like a blizzard was about to descend.
