Chapter 19 More Slaps (2/2)

”What are you afraid of? Do you think the Song family would dare to hurt me? I hate people who bully the weak. Does she think that she can do anything in the city just because she has Albert as her boyfriend?” Only he, James, was the one who was more powerful than Albert in the city.

Nina thought the conversation between Isabella and James was getting more and more ridiculous. Nina watched them coldly for a long time, and finally realized what Isabella was scheming about. She guessed that the play would soon come to an end, and she had no patience to watch it anymore. It was time for her to show up and prove her innocence.

”Are you saying that I slapped you?” Taking a step forward, Nina gently pushed James' shoulder with just two fingers and aloofly looked with annoyance at Isabella's red and swollen face.

”No, no...” Isabella lowered her head in obvious fear and began to sob again. She looked so pitiful that everyone who saw her would want to protect her.

”You did it! I saw it with my own eyes!” James insisted with certainty that it was Nina.

”James Shi, get out of the way,” Nina said calmly. She didn't want to start any conflict with him.

Ever since she had offended John, she slightly investigated the Shi family. She found out that the family held a high status in society, so she had to try her best to avoid them as much as possible. In case something happened, she didn't want to be exposed.

”I won't allow you to bully a girl in front of me.” James stretched his hands in order to stop her.

Nina's patience had run out by then, so she pulled Isabella from behind his back and stared at her with menacing eyes.

”Didn't you say that it was me who slapped you? Look carefully at what I am going to do to you!”

”Nina, what are you doing?” Isabella stepped back, her horror noticeably visible.

Unfortunately, it was too late for her to dodge.

Pak!

Nina's hand landed on Isabella's left cheek. The clear sound of the slap stunned James that he was left speechless as he was rooted to the spot.

His first thought was not out of concern about Isabella being beaten, but he was left wondering whether his uncle had also been beaten up like this. Considering that Nina had not yet paid for what she had done until now, there must be something fishy going on.

Isabella staggered back and almost lost her balance after having been forcefully slapped. Her face was burning with pain and humiliation. Compared with this slap, the slap she gave herself was nothing.

”Nina, how dare you hit me!” Her scarlet eyes were wide open in surprise, and she was about to tear Nina apart like a madwoman.

However, she hadn't expect Nina to be so agile that she would be able to dodge her meager attacks nimbly, thus making Isabella miss her target.

Nina stretched out her hand again to hold Isabella's right hand. She made Isabella slap herself in her own right face, which left another slap mark on it.

When Isabella slapped herself just now, her right hand slapped her right face. With Nina standing opposite to Isabella, Nina's used her right hand to slap Isabella's left face. With this evidence, it was clear that Isabella's right face was slapped by her own hand, which was still held forcefully by Nina.

There were now three different palm prints on her face, and it looked quite spectacular.

”Look, this is the slap that I gave her.” Nina pointed at Isabella's face as she casually explained it to James.

Then he squinted his eyes at Isabella's red and swollen face. There were obviously different palm prints.

The light palm print was upward showing the fingertip, and the deeper one was in the direction of the ear.

Being stared at by James in close proximity made Isabella feel guilty.

She quickly covered her face and lowered her head to sob again.

When she hadn't covered her face with her hands, James hadn't figured it out yet. But the moment when she covered her face with her hands, the light palm print on her face was completely covered by her right palm.

All of a sudden, he was enlightened and it finally dawned on him.

After slapping Isabella, Nina was in a much better mood. She patiently explained to a fascinated James, ”When I stretched out my hand and slapped her, my fingers were extended to the back of her head. When she slapped herself, her fingertips were in the direction of her temple.”

In an instant, Isabella's plot had been exposed and she couldn't hide her pretense anymore.

Isabella shook her head in fear and vehemently denied, ”No, it's not like that. I didn't slap myself. Nina was really the one who had slapped me, Mr. Shi.”

”How dare you use me!” James roared in anger. When he came to his senses after having been made a fool of, he was so enraged that he wanted to give her another slap in the face.
