Max, restrained by two police officers, couldn't move an inch, and he took Ella's slap full force. His cheek burned as though it had been peeled and scorched.

"You foul-mouthed wretch," Ella sneered. "You dare insult my mother? Do you even have the right? Carter Group schemed against me, against my shares, and even my life, and now that you're facing the consequences, you blame me? You're just as spineless as your father and grandfather!"

Ella's icy laughter cut through the room before she turned to Benjamin. "See, cousin? Carter Group produces nothing but scum. You're lucky you ended up elsewhere."

Benjamin gave a silent nod, unable to find words for the twisted bitterness in Max's expression.

Max, still reeling, finally sputtered in anger. "Ella, you dared hit me in front of the police? I'll charge you with assault!"
