"Smack!"
Tom Aiken slapped his younger daughter hard across the face. He'd used so much force that his own palm stung; how much it must have hurt Violet was easy to imagine.
Violet was stunned by the blow. She covered the side of her face that had been hit, staring blankly at her father's dark expression. For as long as she could remember, she'd always been the apple of his eye; the one who got slapped was Lia Aiken…
Tom Aiken didn't care how his daughter was anymore. He turned his head and ordered the Secretary, "Take the second Miss back to the hotel and keep a close eye on her. If she causes any more trouble, I'll hold you responsible."
As he spoke, he left the dazed Violet behind and walked back into Valence Group, straightening his clothes as he went.
After making such a scene, Tom Aiken still didn't want to give up the chance to cooperate with Valence. For the sake of the Aiken Family, his skin was thick enough.
