Dahlia's POV
Mack stayed silent. He lifted his gaze toward me, and his entire demeanor shifted in an instant.
Without warning, he spun around. Miranda stumbled backward instinctively. The sharp crack of his palm connecting with Lauren's cheek echoed through the hallway. She pressed her hand to her face, staring at Mack with wide, stunned eyes.
"Mr. Max, why did you hit me?"
Miranda gawked at Mack in complete shock. Her cold stare immediately found me, burning with pure hatred. She never imagined Mack would publicly humiliate Lauren simply because of something I said.
"Mack, she's obviously trying to cause problems between us, you cannot..."
Mack's glacial expression cut her off mid-sentence, freezing her words in her throat.
Mack tilted his head slightly, a dangerous smile playing at his lips. "Miss Mathews, ready to come with me now?"
