Chapter 6 Samuel Nixon Lodges A Complaint

• Amanda never expected that, in her most helpless moment, the very person who made her a laughingstock would step forward to defend her—it was truly ironic.
• "Oh my, I'm really moved. How does it feel to be protected by a vagabond? Hahaha."
• Samuel Nixon began mocking again.
• Amanda gritted her teeth. She knew very well that the one who caused her humiliation was none other than Samuel Nixon and his father, Alfred Nixon.
• Both she and Ken were just tools being manipulated.
• She didn't hate Ken, but she harbored intense resentment towards Samuel Nixon. For the sake of family fortune, they could be so heartless.
• "Wife, from now on, no one can bully you."
• Ken's words were decisive, echoing like a devil's proclamation throughout the banquet hall.
• "Oh, well, no one can bully her yet? Let me do it. What can you do to me?"
• Samuel Nixon taunted arrogantly, his tone mocking, "You, a vagabond, think we chose you and suddenly you're someone important?"
• But what happened next left everyone stunned.
• "Smack!"
• The sound of a resounding slap echoed through the hall.
• Samuel Nixon spun in place, unbelievably covering his face, staring wide-eyed, murmuring, "You, you dare to hit me?"
• Ken walked forward slowly. "You just hit my wife. I want you to pay back tenfold."
• Then, in full view of everyone, Ken's slaps fell like a storm, driving Samuel Nixon to scurry away, covering his head.
• Amanda hurriedly wiped away her tears, watching this scene in disbelief.
• He did hit Samuel Nixon.
• How was this possible?
• The entire Nixon family, including Samuel Nixon, was untouchable. He actually dared to hit him, and for her?
• At this moment, Amanda's mind went blank again.
• "Alright, you two scoundrels dare to hit me. You're both dead. Just wait for it!"
• Samuel Nixon rushed to the door, pointing at Ken's nose, cursing loudly, "Useless scum, you two are really made for each other. Daring to hit me, I won't let you die a good death!"
• Ken made as if to chase him, and Samuel Nixon, in panic, fled the banquet hall.
• Amid the shocked crowd, Ken turned and walked to Amanda.
• Ken directly princess-carried Amanda, picking her up without a word, and left the place where everyone was pointing fingers.
• Amanda was still dazed. Since her father's death, no one had ever stood up for her. Even her mother hadn't defended her when she was bullied.
• For Ken to actually, really hit Samuel Nixon for her?
• When Amanda finally reacted, she realized she was being princess-carried by Ken.
• "Quick, let go of me. Put me down."
• Ken put her down, an embarrassed and silly smile on his face. He scratched his head and said, "Sorry, I didn't want to see you ridiculed. I wanted to take you away quickly."
• Amanda blushed involuntarily, lowering her head weakly.
• Finally, someone had stood up for her.
• The feeling of being protected for the first time was comforting.
• Although Amanda felt a sense of relief, her reason told her that hitting Samuel Nixon would have serious consequences.
• Ken, escorting Amanda out of the hotel, she finally spoke.
• "Why did you hit him?"
• "Because he hit you. I'm protecting you. Seeking revenge for you is only right, isn't it?"
• "Don't worry. From today on, as long as I'm here, no one can bully you."
• Amanda was shaken by Ken, the man who had made her a laughingstock, actually hitting someone to protect her.
• Once again, Amanda's heart was moved. The feeling of having someone protect her was truly wonderful.
• Ken opened the car door and escorted Amanda inside. It was only at this moment that she realized.
• "Where are we going?"
• "I'm taking you home. It's not safe here."
• Amanda's heart skipped a beat. The slight favor she had just felt towards Ken vanished in this moment.
• After all, this was their first meeting. Even though he was the chosen son-in-law of the family, he was taking her home.
• This...
• The intrigues and manipulations within the Nixon family to humiliate her by choosing Ken as the son-in-law, how could she forget?
• ...
• In the hotel.
• Alfred Nixon was discussing business when Samuel Nixon rushed in frantically.
• "Dad, this is too much."
• Samuel Nixon's sudden arrival disrupted the ongoing negotiations.
• "Well, how about you two discuss first, and we'll find another time to talk."
• "Sure, I look forward to the collaboration between the two companies."
• Alfred Nixon shook hands with the businessmen and saw them off. After everyone left, he impatiently said, "What's going on?"
• "Dad, I was beaten by someone. Look at my face!"
• Alfred Nixon was taken aback, realizing his son's face was flushed. He nervously asked, "Who did this?"
• "Amanda's useless man. He actually dared to hit me."
• Alfred Nixon was furious. "I gave him face, and he dares to hit you? He's asking for death."
• "Dad, I was beaten at the banquet hall, and many people saw it. You have to help me get justice."
• Samuel Nixon began to act pitiful.
• "Damn it, just when I didn't have an excuse to kick Amanda out of the company, he actually dares to hit you. Now I have a reason!"
• Alfred Nixon, annoyed, took out his phone to make a call. The matter of the son-in-law selection was over, but the consequences were just beginning.
