In his humiliation, Matthew's hand flew toward Lilah's face. “You disgraceful child! Associating with Gerard, then attempting to charm Iker? Don't you realize Iker is your brother-in-law?"
In his rage, the force behind his swing was substantial.
Anticipating the blow, Lilah shoved her chair backward. His hand missing its mark, Matthew lost his footing and crashed onto the marble floor. The impact caused his nose to bleed profusely.
Regaining his bearings with blood smeared across his face, Matthew glared at Lilah. "You!"
“I heard you. No need to shout," Lilah retorted, nonchalantly picking at her ear.
Matthew's fury intensified. “Why did I ever want a daughter like you?
If only I had known, I would've drown you to death to prevent all this disgrace to the Phillips name."
"It's not my actions that bring shame to the Phillips name, but rather yours. The blame isn't mine to bear." Lilah's words dripped with sarcasm.
Infuriated, Matthew made to move forward but was stopped by a voice.
“Mr. Phillips, it's time to leave." Iker quickly approached Matthew, sensing the rising tension. He deeply feared that in a moment of rashness, Lilah might reveal everything.
Matthew hung his head, guilt evident in his features. “Iker, I'm truly sorry for this."
"It's alright. Let's just leave," Iker urged. He finally managed to convince the group to exit, but Regina's fury was unabated. Seeing Lilah's unwavering calmness further ignited her rage.
Ever since becoming Mrs. Lewis, Regina hadn't been treated with anything but the utmost respect. The audacity of Lilah, who she believed had taken the life of her grandchild, remaining so unperturbed was unthinkable to her.
“Destroy everything," Regina commanded abruptly.
Her followers immediately sprang into action, wrecking everything in sight-vases, chairs, sofas... They even made a move to destroy Lilah's computer.
Online viewers were both shocked and entertained by this dramatic turn.
With a piercing glare, Lilah coolly remarked, “It seems you're quite wealthy, Mrs. Lewis."
Chuckling, Regina responded with pride, “This is all your office holds. Destroy everything. I have the means to cover the damages."
She figured the items they destroyed were worth under a million in total. It was nothing to her.
One viewer commented, "Is this real life or just a thrilling novel scene? Smash it all!"
"I'm Living for Regina's energy right now. Go, girl!"
“Regina's like the star of a blockbuster movie!"
“Lilah deserves this. Regina's showing her who's in charge!"
The majority of online comments seemed to be in favor of Regina's actions.
