If anyone misses him, they can come see him anytime. You, Mr. and Mrs

Leonard, anyone! What do you think?"

“No way! Where's your sense of justice? I paid dearly to do something nice for you and Tessie. And what do I get in return? Spit on by my classmates. My reputation ruined at home. An arranged marriage. So something's going to go my way. You'll never get your kid back. That's the price you'Ll have to pay for ruining my life.”

Tam had been calm up till now. But now his voice was on the edge of hysterics. His eyes were wide, his speech too rapid by half.

"I'LL take you to court!" he threatened.

"My sister's a chief justice in the city.

You won't win this one...I'll make sure of it!"

Erica always hated being threatened.

"Oh, really? You think the

Leonards are afraid of you or your sister? Or the Hiltons, for that matter?"

Tam felt like he was being strangled. It became harder and harder to breathe. He had to have that child. He said without thinking, "Aren't you afraid we'll sue you for stealing our child? We can do a DNA test, you know!"

Erica felt that her anger was boiling in her heart. The anger instantly devoured her reason. She pushed the door open and got out of the car.

Smack! She slapped Tam without even thinking about it.

Tam was taken aback. He was more than forty, and this was the first time a woman hit him. Just to add insult to injury, the person who slapped him was the same age as his daughter.

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. He stood there with a blank expression, his head tilted from the slap.

When Julianna saw Erica slap her father, she ran over quickly, grabbed the other girl's clothes tightly and shouted, “Erica, don't hit my dad!

You ungrateful bitch! He helped you out of kindness, and now you do this. I'm going to beat the shit out of you!”

The driver rushed to grab Julianna. She was about to hit his boss's wife.

“Please let go of Mrs. Erica!"

“Are you high? She hit my father! I need to teach her a lesson!"

Tam was normally a rich, successful, handsome man. Julianna was her father's biggest fan. She admired him a lot.

If someone slapped your idol, you'd probably have much the same reaction. Besides, it was a matter of honor. Julianna had to go after

Erica.

Hearing what Julianna said, Tam finally came to his senses. He held his daughter's hand and said, “Julianna, let go of her."

“Dad! She hit you! That's not cool. I need to slap her too!"
