Chapter 23 Getting Rid Of Potential Threats

"What are you doing?" Sunny was furious as she rushed over to the pair. She looked like a dragon who
was about to spit fire.

Hanson let go of the woman in his arms. Although he was startled, he didn't look the slightest bit guilty.
He knew for a fact that Sunny had always been obsessed with him. In fact, she was the one who had
brought up the wedding. "Why are you here?"

"How could I not?" she snapped. A part of her wished that she could tear Essie down with her own bare
hands.

Having no intention to argue with Sunny, Essie turned. "I'm going in." However, just as she was about
to leave, Sunny caught her wrist. Turning her around, she slapped the woman hard on the face.

There was no way she was going to let the woman go! Especially after trying to seduce her husband!
Sunny clenched her jaw as malicious thoughts filled her mind.

In the black Bentley, Zac glowered. His fists cracked at the sight, tearing through the dull silence in the
car. Although Essie deserved a lesson, he was the only one allowed to touch her or to even lecture her
over what she had done. If anyone dared to hurt her, then they were about to face death himself.

Zac was about to open the door, but he stopped himself when Essie raised her hand and slapped the
woman back without fear.

Tears streamed down Sunny's face from the startling pain. She stumbled back. "Essie, how dare you?"
It was the first time she had ever been slapped.

Essie snorted, "You may be rich and powerful, but the last thing I'll be is afraid of you! From now on, I'll
repay you twice as hard for everything that you've done to me."



"You bitch!" Sunny raised her arm and was about to strike her, but Hanson held her back. "That's
enough!" he roared.

"Didn't you see that she just slapped me?" Flushed red, she wanted to shake off his hold, only to find
that he was too strong. "You were the one who hit her first," he said coldly, glancing apologetically at
the woman in front of them.

"I have to go." Essie had taken this chance to leave. It seemed that Sunny would always be a thorn on
her side whenever she was with Hanson. If she ever got close to him, she would do everything to stab
her back. A part of her wondered if it was worth it.

Seeing her leave, Hanson finally released the woman. Pissed off, Sunny stomped on the gravel. "I
forbid you to see her again!" she shrieked out.

"Even if you forbid me to see her, do you honestly think you're the only woman in my life?" he said
lightly. She gritted her teeth. "What do you mean?"

"Do you really think I wouldn't cheat on you?" A mocking smile slid into his lips, and it sent a chill down
her spine.

All influential men have indulged themselves in the highest form of pleasure, and it seemed that
Hanson was not an exception to all the temptation surrounding him.

"My father will not stand for it!" She had no choice but to use her father's name to suppress him. After
all, given that the two families were business partners, he wouldn't dare try anything rashly.

Hanson snorted, "Where's your father now?" 'Who does she think her father is?' he thought.

He left with a cold smile, and Sunny was left alone in the cold night.

'As long as you aren't with Essie, then it's fine.'



Finally, she took out her phone. "Billy, get some people for me."

She would never forgive the person who had hurt her!

It was late at night.

The noise finally faded away. It was replaced with crickets and chirps.

Since there weren't any direct bus to her apartment in the square, Essie had no choice but to walk to
her place from the nearest bus station.

During this period, she needed to cross a dark alley.

Both sides of the alley were shrouded in many trees. Since it was already late, there were almost no
one around her.

A shiver shot down her spine. Feeling as if someone was following her, Essie quickened her
pace.
