Just then, Vanessa returned with Jason Clark at her side.
Her face burned with fury as she glared at Olivia, then shouted at me, “Ethan Miller, who the hell is this tramp?”
“You dare bring another woman into my house? Have I spoiled you so much that you’ve forgotten—you’re nothing but my dependent husband?”
She raised her hand to slap me, but before it landed, Olivia grabbed her wrist.
Olivia shoved her hand aside, and Vanessa staggered backward, nearly falling.
Jason rushed to support her, putting on a false look of concern as he said to me, “Ethan, how could you do something like this? Hurry up and apologize to Ms. Scott, and kick this tramp out, or she’ll never forgive you…”
Before he finished, I smacked him hard across the face.
Jason froze, stunned, and so did Vanessa.
Then Vanessa exploded, yelling, “Ethan, you’ve gone too far!”
“How dare you hit him! Have you forgotten all the warnings I’ve given you before?”
“Starting today, you’re fired from Scott Corporation. Jason will be taking your place. You’ll stay home and reflect on your behavior.”
“Without my permission, you’re not allowed to step outside this house, not even one step!”
