A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 146

Everyone shakes with fear when Louis says this.

Unexpectedly, President Smith looks easy-going, but when he gets angry, he is even more terrible than the God of Death.

"Louis..." Ellison Smith clenches his fists so hard that he nearly calls out Louis's full name rudely, only to be met with a stony stare and the rest of Ellison's words are swallowed back down his throat.

Louis glances at the group and says flatly, "It seems like you all want to stay here."

They hesitate, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

‘Louis, you dare to hit him, but we don’t dare to do so.’ Ellison is from the Smith family. These guys are just nobody. If they really hit him, they are asking for troubles.

But they would not stay here all the time.

After a long silence, a man with eyeglasses drags his feet to Ellison.

Ellison did not expect that someone would actually dare to hit him. His eyes narrow in murderous rage.

The man with the glasses is frightened and trembles all over. He plucks up his courage and says, "I... I'm sorry, Mr. Ellison Smith... I don't want to be here. My girlfriend's waiting for me at home... don’t blame me."

The man in the glasses closes his eyes and quickly slaps Ellison in the face.

And of course, he knows that Ellison couldn't be offended, so when he hit Ellison, he didn't hit hard.

Louis lifts his eyelids and gives him a half-smile. "You slapped him so lightly. How could he wake up? Go back and hit again."

The man’s legs are trembling. "President Smith, it...

“Go back and hit again!”

Frightened by Louis's imposing manner, the man seems unable to resist. He turns back and pretends not to see Ellison's murderous look, then slaps him hard on the face.

Ellison's right face turns red and his lips feel tingled.

"Ellison Smith.” When Ellison threatens to hit the man, Louis calmly says, "If you can't bear to be slapped, I'll have you drunk all the alcohol."

It’s fifty-two degrees. A bottle of it would be too much for him, let alone more than ten bottles.

Ellison looks at the wine bottle on the table, licks his back teeth, and angrily shakes off the man, who then quickly runs out without being stopped by the waiter.

With the man taking the lead, and with Louis's words, the others are emboldened and go to Ellison. They first apologize to him, and then slap him in the face.

For a time, there are only clear slapping sounds in the room, one after another.

In the end, Ellison stands there, his cheeks red and swollen, and his fists clenched.

The people are almost gone, only Field Hodge is left, and he hasn’t hit Mr. Ellison.

Field, a friend of Ellison, could not slap Ellison, so he smiles dryly at Louis, "So, President Smith, my hand hurts... How about I drink the wine?"

"A glass of wine?" Louis chuckles, "Do you despise me, or him?"

"President Smith, that's not what I meant...”

“Did you hear that? Mr. Field said his hand hurts.” Louis turns to the waiter behind him and says, "You help Mr. Field to hit him."

"Yes, President Smith." The waiter strides over to Field.

Before Field can react to it, he is grabbed by his right hand by a waiter who is half a head taller than him. The waiter takes Field’s hand to slap Ellison in the face.

Then he slaps him in another side again.

When he finishes, the waiter says quickly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Field, but you can't handle yourself."

Field feels helpless and nervous.

It’s over. Ellison is not going to let go of him.

"It seems that Mr. Field’s hands are not agile. Take him out to see a doctor." Louis says as his eyes rivet on Ellison. "Come here."

The waiter takes Field out, and Louis and Lily are the only ones in the room.

After dozens of slaps of humiliation, Ellison is so angry that he wants to kill Louis, but he does not dare to say anything.

He just steps forward, and Louis grabs the bottle from the table and hits him in the knee with tremendous force.

Ellison drops to his knees in front of Louis.

Louis grabs him by the hair and holds Ellison up to him, his eyes gloomy. "Ellison, your father is one of the best in business. Why didn’t you learn anything after having followed him for so many years?"

"Your father doesn't like me, but he still respects me, and doesn’t offend me. How about you? What? Do you want the whole country to know that the Smith Group is going bankrupt and that I'm useless?"

"President Smith, I am wrong. I shouldn't have said that." Ellison's cheeks twitch. "I made a big mistake," he says, "but now that I'm sober, I hope President Smith will forgive me once."

Louis sneers, "Is it what you said that have offended me? It is that you shouldn't have touched my men! Ellison, if you forget how your mother died, I can remind you."

"It's fine if the Smith Group goes bankrupt. I still have enough money to buy headlines."

Ellison's pupils shrank.

How did Louis find out about those things hidden? How did he know that?

"It's all my fault. I hope President Smith, President Lily will forgive me." Ellison suppresses his anger and swallows the humiliation. After the Smith Group changes the shareholders, he will take back what he has suffered today from Louis!

Louis stares at him for a second and lets go of him like throwing a piece of garbage. "Hey, I said I will treat you the wine. Don't waste the wine and bring it back to Richard."

"Thank you, President Smith." Ellison quickly packs up the wine and leaves the room.

Louis takes two paper towels from the table to wipe his hands, turns the wheelchair, and sees Lily standing there, looking dumbfoundedly. He asked with great interest, "Miss Lily, what’s on your mind?"

"Nothing." Lily returns to senses, still reeling from the shock.

This is the first time she has ever seen Louis so harsh and so inconsiderate. Look how he embarrassed and humiliated Ellison. He was so terrible.

When Louis is absent, Ellison loosened his tongue, and when Louis came, Ellison would not even dare to speak a word.

She's so cool at see this!

Lily's lips are a little dry and she licks them subconsciously. However, she suddenly thought of what had happened in the bathroom and dares not lick them. Her voice is a little stuttering, "President Smith, if there is nothing to do, I will go first.

She pulls open the compartment door and wants to slip away.

Louis calls to her, "You're leaving me here alone with me like this?"

"President Smith, isn't your wheelchair automatic?"

"There's no electricity."

When Louis presses the button, the wheel does not move, but the power is gone. Lily goes back, muttering, "Why the wheelchair will run out of power? Next time I'll buy you a nice..."

"No! President Smith, I didn't mean that!" She quickly adds, "I mean, I'm going to buy President Smith a better wheelchair before your leg recovers."

Was she stupid just now? Does she mean that Louis would be confined in a wheelchair all his life?

Louis doesn't care about what she says, just smiles, “Fine.”

They take the elevator to the first floor together, and then meet Leigh.

"Miss Lily."

Leigh, dressed in gray casual clothes, waves at Lily with raised eyebrows and looks down at the wheelchair she is pushing, where Louis is sitting. "Hey Louis, how did you get here"
