Chapter 1147:
Once inside the car, Cliff's anger softened slightly at the sight of her tear-stained face. “You've barely worked
there a few months, and you dare slap Kira? What made you think you had the right?”
Laney’s sobs wracked her body so violently that her mind buzzed, deaf to his words. His dark expression only
fueled her frustration further. She frantically tried to escape the confines of the car.
Cliff's irritation peaked watching her exit the car until he noticed her uneven movements—her thigh trembling
with each attempt. His expression shifted instantly as he grasped her wrist. “What happened to your foot?”
“Leavealone! | can’t stand the sight of you!” Laney shoved against him.
In one fluid motion, Cliff scooped her up and deposited her back in the car. He shut the door and slid in beside
her, carefully lifting her trembling foot onto his lap. The sight of her bruised foot beneath her shoe made his
blood boil.
“Did Kira do this?” Cliff's voice was tight with controlled rage. Laney buried her face in her hands, her sobs too
violent for words to escape.

tears. If you'd toldabout this earlier, would | have been so harsh with you?”

“I don’t need your concern!” Laney snapped.
“I'm your cousin—looking after you is my responsibility.” Cliff examined her foot once more, his frown deepening,
before stepping out of the car.
Laney attempted to follow, but Cliff locked her inside and strode back toward the theatre without a backward
glance.
Just then, the Foster couple emerged with their daughter, offering her words of comfort. They collided with Cliff
as he reversed course.
“Mr. Hopkins, did you forget something?” Makayla asked, startled. Without uttering a word, Cliff seized Kira and
hauled her over to apologize to Laney.
Initially, Kira attempted to deflect the blame, shifting it onto Laney. She even showed Cliff her injured foot,
claiming it was in worse condition than Laney’s.
Cliff, however, dismissed her complaints and focused on Kira’s parents, who stood behind her. “Mr. Foster, Mrs.
Foster, Laney is my cousin. Surely, she deserves an apology today, doesn’t she?”
Orlando’s expression darkened. The Foster family had experienced their share of success, but they could never
compare to the fof the Ht Free family. Moreover, the Hopkins family had strong ties with the influential Ward
family. If the Ward family were to hear about this incident, it could cause significant trouble for the Foster family
