Chapter 575 A Fight (Part Three)

Molly's beauty wasn't the type that you appreciated right away - she wasn't stunning at first glance. She
was pure like unprocessed crystal - she shone in light colors. But tonight, the shade of her blue dress
perfectly complemented her pure beauty as if she was a fair. She spoke in a measured voice veiled by
calmness. Everyone stared at her as if they were listening to a goddess.

Ximena turned sideways to watch Molly as she spoke. She thought Molly only responded when she
was under attack. But right now, as she spoke, there was a hint of slyness in her eyes like she was a
predator lurking and planning her attack—it was as if she'd just been waiting for enemies to approach,
ready to take them down.

The woman with cake on her face suddenly realized something. They picked a fight with Ximena when
she was with a woman whom they'd never seen before. They had no idea who Molly was, but just
thought she must have been an ordinary actress coming here with some dandy. So they didn't think
such an actress who came here to seek any opportunities would stand up for Ximena. And the man
she must have come with must not approve of what Molly was doing. After all, every girl in their group
came from a prominent, wealthy family.

"Who are you?" she asked, her mouth quivering, "Don't you know who I am? How bold of you to fight
back! Don't you know what you're in for your rudeness?"

"Oh? What is it?" Molly sneered. She held her face in the same cold way that Brian held his, "I wonder
what's going to happen," Molly taunted.

Ximena remained silent, keeping a wary eye on the situation. Actually, she didn't mind being spoken ill
of by those women. It's not like it was the first time because she knew that was how almost everyone
saw her anyway. She had already grown a tough shell from having heard so many terrible things said
about her. She let them slide off as if they meant nothing. These bored and shallow women wouldn't
stop until they got the satisfaction that they wanted. But when they began insulting Molly, that was



when she snapped. Aaron, she assumed, valued his relationship with Brian because he took the
courtesy of welcoming him in person. And since this was so, she fought back for Molly. Besides, this
whole thing only happened because of her feud with Vivi.

"Apologize to Ximena!" As Ximena's mind raced, she heard Molly demand an apology on her behalf.
Ximena gazed at Molly who was glaring at Vivi's friends with sheer determination. "Apologize to
Ximena right now and I'll consider letting this whole thing go. Or you'll be the one sorry in the end,"

Molly spat. She was tough now unlike before. When she threatened them, she wasn't even thinking of
how powerful Brian was and whether her words really bore any weight without Brian's help. But she
threatened them anyway. If there was anything that she hated the most, it was these spoiled girls that
came from rich families that acted as if they ruled the world.

Some of the crowd started chuckling lightly at Molly's threats. This was a small community - they all
knew everyone somehow and this was their first time seeing Molly. No one knew anything about her,
not even the celebrities. Everybody here thought she was just a rising starlet looking for more
opportunities here. In that instant, the crowd started buzzing again with gossip and judgement. Angry at
Molly's threats, the woman with the cake on her face grabbed another piece of cake from the table and
attempted to throw it back on Molly's face. But she was too slow as Molly had already hit her face with
the plate of food that she was holding.

"You slut..."

The woman went crazy. She went for Molly like she had just lost her mind. She wasn't the pretentious
well-mannered girl she was pretending to be all night anymore. Ximena stepped in front of Molly to stop
the attack. But the woman pushed her away and began pulling her hair in the process. This angered
Molly. The necklace on her neck turned blue after having sensed her anger. Molly pushed the woman
away, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground. Molly immediately neared towards Ximena to help
her. In the middle of all this chaos, a firm voice came, "What's going on here?"



It was so unexpected that everyone froze at once. They turned their face only to see Aaron's cold face.
By his side was another crisp-looking man wearing the same cold expression on Aaron's face. His grim
aura would make everyone hold their breath.

Brian cast Molly a glance who was, at the moment, dragging Ximena from being attacked by a group of
women. Ximena's hair was already a mess. Brian frowned when his eyes swept across Molly's wrist
that was reddened with several scratches. A coldness started to shroud him.

Aaron approached the woman with the cake on her face who had just tripped and was now being
helped to her feet. Then his eyes swept the room, trying to figure out what had happened. Then finally,
he rested his eyes on Ximena. She bit her lips, avoiding Aaron's gaze. The fierceness that she had just
displayed had seemingly diminished in front of this man.

Brian, meanwhile, walked towards Molly and looked at her from head to toe before fixing his gaze on
the scratches on her wrist. He couldn't make himself to stop looking at it.

All the courage that Molly had mustered up earlier was gone, and now she just felt like she was going
to be scolded like she was a kid who had just misbehaved. She bit her lips and lowered her head as
she stood in front of Brian. She still felt angry at how these women were treating Ximena, so she fought
for her, releasing whatever anger she had inside. But it must have been inappropriate for her to act this
way as she was here as Brian's wife after all. Brian must have been embarrassed of her.

"Aaron... They hurt me!" The woman with the cake on her face immediately rushed up to Aaron,
clinging to his arm. It was lucky that the press wasn't invited, otherwise they would all be on the front
page of the papers tomorrow. "Ximena and her friend bullied me and I got hurt,"

the woman said meekly, obviously looking for sympathy. It was as if she wasn't just yelling cruel words
and attacking Molly like a bull earlier.



Ximena gazed at Aaron, still not saying anything. She had no intention to explain. But Molly felt
embarrassed. She didn't know what to do.

"Aaron, can anyone just bully me now that you've left Vivi?" Another woman cut in angrily, "Haven't you
forgotten your promises when you broke up with Vivi?"

Aaron narrowed his eyes at these accusations that were disguised as questions. Ken looked at the
group of women scornfully. 'Stupid women! How dare they questioned Mr. Aaron in public! And even
dragged Mr. Brian Long's wife in the mud? Are you crazy?' He could not help but sneer those silly
women secretly in his heart.

"Bri... I..." Molly stammered, ashamed of her actions.

Brian looked at Molly tenderly and then turned his gaze at the group of women—he was glaring them
down.

"Who hurt my wife?" Brian asked severely—each word rung in the air and no one was speaking as they
were too terrified.

Even though Brian was more good-looking than Aaron, the woman with the cake on her face still didn't
know who he was and she didn't think that he was powerful and wealthy as he really was—she
underestimated him. In addition to that, he was so young and he came along with Aaron whom she
thought would help her. So she confessed boldly, "I did it. Your wife threw cake at me. What a shallow
bitch... Ouch!"

She cried before she finished talking as Aaron had slapped her across the face. That startled everyone
who was watching. She was Aaron's half-sister after all.



Even though Aaron had plotted against the Leng family, he still treated his half-sister well. While it was
true that she was arrogant and often unreasonable, she still knew right from wrong, especially in a
gathering like this. But she was acting so crazy today and the trouble she was starting was
unbelievable.

Brian's eyes deepened. He spoke in a measured tone while everyone was frozen in shock, "Cake? She
can throw anything she wants. She can throw away money if she likes; or she can choose to shut down
companies if she likes. She can do whatever pleases her."

While the statement sounded as if Brian was exaggerating, no one doubted that Molly really could do
all of those things.
