The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day

Chapter 250: Her Lover

Coralie Hughes felt a powerful force on her face, "Snap——" a crisp sound echoed throughout the entire hall, and Coralie was slapped with such force that she fell directly to the ground, her entire face turned away.

The slap was truly heavy, Coralie only saw stars spinning in front of her.

Once she regained her senses, she reached out to wipe and realized that blood was seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Not only did her face hurt, but she also felt like her teeth were loosening.

Coralie covered her face in pain, looking in disbelief at the person who slapped her—Evan Hughes.

"Dad?"

She doubted what she saw was wrong.

Her father spoiled her the most, how could he hit her with such force?

However, the fact was that Evan Hughes had mercilessly slapped her.

At the side, Mason Monroe hurried over to Coralie, attempting to help her.

But before his hand could touch Coralie, she kicked him away.

"Get away! Don’t touch me!" She looked at Mason Monroe with disgust.

That gaze, as if she wished Mason Monroe would vanish at once.

Even looking at an enemy wouldn’t have such a deeply hurtful expression.

"Coralie...?" Mason Monroe looked at her, hurt.

But Coralie didn’t dare to even look at Mason Monroe, she just stared dumbly at Evan Hughes.

Evan Hughes turned his face, showing his unwillingness to see Coralie again, coldly instructing the servants, "Take her upstairs and lock her up, without my orders, no one is allowed to release her!"

"No..." Coralie shook her head like a rattle, repeatedly pleading, "I’m sorry, Dad! I know I’m wrong, I really know I’m wrong!"

However, two bodyguards had already stepped forward, lifting Coralie up and taking her upstairs.

Coralie’s shouting and screaming faded into the distance, and the hall finally fell silent.

Some guests shook their heads, not wanting to watch the spectacle any longer, they stepped forward, comforted Evan Hughes a bit, and then bid their farewell.

Evan Hughes tried to squeeze out a smile, but he couldn’t, he simply bowed and let the servant hand over the farewell gifts before seeing the guests leave.

With the first person leaving, more guests began to bid their farewells.

Soon, there were only a few people left in the hall.

Summer Monroe saw that the situation was almost resolved, she stepped forward to say goodbye, "I’ll take my leave first, don’t be too upset. She’s still young, it’s inevitable to make mistakes, just guide her well in the future. I’ll speak on Coralie’s behalf to the family over there."

Evan Hughes looked haggard, with red bloodshot eyes.

He apologized, "I’m sorry about this, the child lost her mother, I feared she wouldn’t like a stepmother, so I never remarried, and I’ve always spoiled her. Yet I didn’t expect that my actions would harm her... To your family over there, I’ll come to apologize tomorrow, tonight please help me convey my apologies to Damian and Clarissa."

As Evan Hughes spoke, he called the servant to bring a gift box, which he directly handed to Summer Monroe.

Summer instinctively refused, "I don’t need it..."

No matter what, half of tonight’s incident was caused by her.

Although she wouldn’t regret it, it’s not good to accept a gift.

However, Evan Hughes firmly pushed the gift into her hands, saying, "I owe my life to you, if you don’t accept it, I won’t feel at ease."

Summer Monroe had no choice but to accept it.

After getting into Damian Knight’s car, she opened the gift box.

Inside was a jade hairpin.

Damian Knight instantly recognized it, "This was used by the Queen of the Brighton Empire. Evan Hughes spent two hundred million on it last year, he’s really generous."

Summer Monroe looked at the hairpin and couldn’t help but sigh, turning to Damian Knight and asked, "Do you think what I did was too much?"
