Belka's intentions were good, but reality was cruel.
Barrett had been manipulated by Yan Ling, leaving him feeling utterly choked. Seeing Belka acting so inconsiderately, his rage ignited, and he slapped her across the face.
"Who the hell do you think you are? If it wasn't for you, would I be in such a predicament? If you dare to get in my way again, I'll kill you on the spot!"
Belka was left stunned by the slap.
"Mr. Barrett, you are the son of the Underground Emperor; surely you're not afraid of the Dark Empire?"
"Are you deaf? Are you?"
Barrett raised his hand and gave Belka a good beating, leaving both sides of her face swollen.
Belka hastily raised her arms to block the blows.
"I was wrong, Mr. Barrett. Stop hitting me!"
"Listen carefully! I'm worried about my father's concern over my marriage, and it has nothing to do with that jerk Wesley. If you dare defame the reputation of my Underground Kingdom again, I'll make sure you never speak again in your life."
