An Understated Dominance By Marina Vittori Chapter 1362-Ethan had reached his breaking point and slapped Hugo in frustration. The force of the slap sent Hugo sprawling to the ground, leaving everyone in the crowd bewildered. They exchanged incredulous looks, struggling to process what had just transpired.
“What on earth is happening here? Shouldn’t Ethan be dealing with the troublemaker who barged in?” Some in the crowd whispered.
“Why did Hugo get slapped? Is this some kind of mix-up?” “Uncle Ethan?” Hugo held his cheek, looking confused.
“Wh-why’d you hit me?” Ethan’s anger flared, and he threatened, “You blind fool! I’m gonna slap you again!” He stormed over, landing a series of punches and kicks while yelling, “You laze around all day, bully people, and stir up trouble everywhere.
“Our family is ashamed to have a good- for-nothing like you! Today, I’m giving you a lesson on behalf of your father, you worthless scoundrel!” “Ouch! Please, stop! Uncle Ethan. I know I messed up…” Hugo winced from the relentless blows and begged for mercy. The crowd was still stunned, sharing puzzled looks.
Ethan’s sudden burst of violence was not what they expected. Usually, when Hugo got into trouble, he’d get a good scolding. But this punishment was just too brutal.
Cody and Harper, who had just arrived by car, were equally shocked by the scene. They thought Dustin would come to the Langford residence to make amends.. They never imagined Ethan would lash out at Hugo like this.
