The slap wasn't too hard, but it still sent Ruby rolling away, leaving a red handprint on her face and blood in her mouth.
"Waah...Boo hoo hoo..." Ruby immediately started crying.
"Ruby!" Olivia saw this and rushed over in a panic, quickly picking Ruby up and holding her in her arms. "Ruby, are you okay? Where does it hurt?"
Seeing the blood in Ruby's mouth, Olivia painfully wiped it away and glared at Maeve with hatred. At that moment, an unprecedented aura burst from her! She shouted, "How dare you hit my daughter!"
Maeve was also startled, but she quickly crossed her arms and said arrogantly, "How dare I? Because she's a bastard! Even if I beat her to death, so what?!"
"Mommy, Ruby isn't a bastard...Ruby has a daddy..." Ruby cried sadly in Olivia's arms.
Samuel had been sitting there, watching this scene with a grim expression. Suddenly, he shouted loudly, "Enough! Olivia, if you don't admit your mistake today, don't blame me for being harsh with you! Someone, throw them out of the Harrison family!"
Olivia shook her head frantically and said to Samuel, "Grandpa, I did nothing wrong. This car was really bought by Jonathan himself!"
However, a few house servants came over and started pulling Olivia and Ruby away to throw them out.
At that moment, with a loud bang, the courtyard gate was violently kicked open! A beast-like figure stood there in the sunlight, exuding overwhelming killing intent, and roared, "Who dares touch my wife and daughter! I will destroy the entire Harrison family!" This terrifying voice stunned everyone in the Harrison family, making them shiver!
Especially seeing Jonathan walking in step by step, it was as if they were seeing the Grim Reaper! The murderous aura around him scared the Harrison family members into quickly stepping aside, fearing Jonathan would attack them first!
Jonathan immediately saw Olivia and Ruby on the ground, holding each other. His fists clenched, eyes blood-red, as his anger erupted!
Ruby ran to him, crying, "Daddy, they bullied me and Mommy..."
Jonathan picked her up and saw a red handprint on her face! His icy gaze swept the room, "Who did this?" No one spoke. The Harrison family members all cowered, and Maeve hid behind the crowd.
'Jonathan is terrifying! How can he have such an intimidating presence that no one dares look at him or confront him!'
"I'll ask again, who did this!" Jonathan was furious, his eyes blazing! He had failed Olivia and Ruby for five years. He promised to protect them, yet Ruby had been slapped! Jonathan's heart ached, filled with guilt, and his rage was uncontrollable!
The daughter of a Five-Star General should be protected, yet she was bullied like this! If the military knew, the ones who bullied Ruby would be dead!
With Jonathan's roar, all eyes turned to Maeve. Realizing she couldn't hide, she stood up straight and arrogantly said, "That's right! I did it, so what? You trash, want to teach me a lesson for that little bastard?"
Smack!
Jonathan slapped her hard!
Maeve was sent flying for five feet, rolling on the ground!
"Ahh!" Maeve lay on the ground, dizzy, covering her swelling cheek, spitting out two broken teeth, and stared at Jonathan in panic. "You...you dare hit me?! Declan, look! This trash hit me...my teeth, someone, come quickly! Tie him up..." Maeve lay on the ground, crying.
Declan stepped forward, saw his wife's injuries, and his expression turned icy. He glared at Jonathan and shouted, "Brat! You're too arrogant! She's my wife and Olivia's aunt! How can you be so brutal? What do you want? To kill everyone in the Harrison family?! Bodyguards, seize him!"
Immediately, several bodyguards surrounded Jonathan!
Jonathan's face stayed cold, his anger strong as he glared at the Harrison family members. He shouted, "Anyone who bullies my daughter must pay, no matter who they are!"
"Attack!" Declan roared.
Immediately, these bodyguards charged at Jonathan!
"Stop! Stop!" Olivia suddenly stood up, blocking Jonathan and bowing before Declan and Samuel. She pleaded, "Uncle, Grandpa, please forgive Jonathan. He didn't mean it; he was just confused. Please forgive him. I'll take responsibility for his mistakes."
Seeing Olivia bow for him made Jonathan's heart ache. 'Why is she always so kind and considerate? Can't she see these Harrison family members are devils and leeches!'
"Olivia! Stand up. I don't need you to beg them for me!" Jonathan said, reaching to pull Olivia up.
However!
Slap! Olivia turned around and slapped Jonathan hard, her face streaked with tears as she cried, "Jonathan! Enough! How long are you going to keep this up? Do you know what kind of life Ruby and I have had these years because of you? Now that I've finally returned to the Harrison family, can't you stop causing trouble? I don't want Ruby and me to be kicked out again, to be homeless..."
She pulled Ruby from Jonathan's arms, her eyes red and tears streaming as she continued, "Jonathan! Ruby is my daughter! I don't need you to do anything for us because there has never been any affection between us! Thank you for showing up that day, and for what you did for Ruby. But all of this started because of you!"
Olivia couldn't speak anymore, only cry. The grievances of the past five years and these days in the Harrison family erupted at this moment!
Her heart was bitter and full of sorrow. For five years, she had faced ridicule, cold stares, endless taunts, and scolding. She had hoped that returning to the Harrison family would change everything, but it hadn't.
