Matriarch Farrell struck Holden ten times in quick succession, leaving his face bruised and his nose swollen. Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth and his nose. Holden did not dare to retaliate; he was enduring the wrath of his wife. Once Matriarch Farrell stopped, he seized her hand and, with a distressed expression, asked, “Honey, does your hand hurt? Are you tired? Let me blow on it for you.” In response, Matriarch Farrell kicked him, sending him sprawling to the ground. “Take them both away,” she commanded coldly to the two bodyguards, instructing them to escort the couple back and continue the punishment. She would never forgive anyone who dared to betray her.

The bodyguards promptly entered the room, lifted the girl, and followed Matriarch Farrell. Holden, unfazed by the bodyguards, got up and obediently trailed behind her. He had visited the hotel with that girl countless times. Matriarch Farrell seemed to ignore his attempts to speak as she continued walking ahead. Meanwhile, she called the butler to instruct him to notify her children to return home immediately. She believed Holden had betrayed her because of his wealth; only with money could he charm those young, shameless women. Although Holden appeared to have substantial pocket money each month, Matriarch Farrell had always controlled his finances, ensuring he never had more than $500. Now that he was able to frequent a high-end establishment like the Fortress Hotel, she suspected the hotel expenses were funded by her children’s filial piety money. She was eager to discover which of her children was so devoted to Holden.

Upon hearing Matriarch Farrell’s orders to summon her children, Holden’s expression darkened with hatred, yet he remained silent, not daring to voice his anger. The girl being held by the two bodyguards was

Initially honest, she allowed the two bodyguards to support her. Once she reached the first floor, she seized the moment to kick one of the bodyguards and quickly capitalized on the pain. She freed herself and forcefully shook off the other bodyguard’s grip. Then, she sprinted out, shouting, “Someone’s being attacked; the old witch is hitting someone!” The bodyguards from the Farrell family immediately pursued her. Matriarch Farrell still had bodyguards stationed at the hotel entrance, making escape impossible for the girl. Cornered at the door, she turned and charged at Holden, grabbing him and striking him while hurling accusations. She claimed Holden had molested her, leading Matriarch Farrell to mistakenly perceive her as a mistress and attack her fiercely. Holden vehemently denied the allegations and struggled against the girl. Matriarch Farrell did not intervene, allowing them to grapple with each other. Unexpectedly, as the girl and Holden fought near Matriarch Farrell, she suddenly released Holden and lunged at Matriarch Farrell. Although Matriarch Farrell had some boxing and kicking skills, she was caught off guard and, due to her age, was toppled to the ground by the girl, who then straddled her and began to strike her.

Upon witnessing this, the bodyguard team rushed to separate the girl. Matriarch Farrell was already humiliated; she had caught her husband cheating, and as the girl fought with Holden, she kept cursing and shouting. With an increasing crowd watching, the situation escalated, leaving her face flushed with anger. Even as the girl continued to hit Holden, each blow further fueled the tension.

Matriarch Farrell was already furious, and now her anger had ignited into a raging fire.
