FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO-Chapter 329: Family Reunion Disaster

Lilian felt a tightening in her chest and an overwhelming sensation that made her breathless for all the wrong reasons. Her muscles were tense, her heart was spinning rapidly, and her face flustered with untamed rage at Matt's audacity.

She wanted to scream at the top of her voice. She wanted to bite his disgusting lips pressed against hers, as she tried in vain to free herself from his suffocating hold. She wanted to take off her heels and smash them on his forehead. But Matt seems to have her immobilised with his iron grip.

Her break from this disgusting torture came when he tried to slip he's disgusting tongue into her mouth.

Acting on her animalistic instinct, she bit down on his tongue, forcing him to release her.

Matt's eyes widened, his hands impulsively flying to his mouth.

Lilian used this opportunity to take a few defensive steps backwards.

"What happened?"

"What did she do?"

"Did she bite him?"

"No way!"

"I thought she came here for him."

"Why did she even go to him in the first place?"

"I don't think they've resolved their differences."

"You can even tell from the way his children have refused to go to him."

"I knew something was wrong from the first moment she set foot into this mansion. Maybe Nana was the one who coaxed her against her will to come."

The murmuring and gossiping were endless as everyone watched Lilian retreat from her husband, her body trembling with rage.

"You bit me?" Matt demanded in a dreadful voice, the initial warmth in his eyes gone like it was never there.

"I will do it again the next time you try such a despicable act, you pathetic monster."

"How dare you?" Matt's hands balled into a fist.

"I'm not afraid of you, monster. You have no right to touch me after everything you have done to destroy our family."

Matt spat out bloody saliva, his eyes narrowed and inflamed. "You are still my wife, and you will respect me." He growled, taking menacing steps to Lilian while the latter increased her retreating steps, afraid for her life.

"Matt...." Nana screamed from the entrance, but her voice was too low to penetrate the murmuring down below.

"Sam, take me down to Matt, now." Nana Shawls signalled to the butler.

"Yes, ma'am." Sam hurriedly wheels the old matriarch down the short stairs while Regina and Gwen follow behind, each nursing their own demons.

Although Regina wanted to smile at the sudden twist of events, she was two angry at the fact that Matt had dared to kiss Lillian of all people in the presence of the entire family.

All she wanted to do right now was go close to Lillian and shred her to bits for daring to kiss her lover.

Mark and Rosie quickly ran to their mother's defence, guessing what would happen next.

Other members of the family, including Desmond and his family,, also came closer.

However, Senator Gregory remained rooted where he was. He had just received words that the result for Gwen's paternity test was out.

Although he already knew that she was not his daughter but Matt's, he was still eager to clear all doubt scientifically before proceeding with his next course of action.

Matt caught up to his wife and grabbed her roughly by the wrist.

"You will love and respect me." He thundered, his saliva splattering over her flustered face.

Lilian shuddered, trembling vigorously while maintaining her defiant stance. "I hate you."

"Shut up..." Matt bellowed, raising her right hand to strike her. But someone caught his arms mid-air, and at the same time, a fist landed on the side of his cheek.

"Ah!" Wild gasps filled the air.

More of the mansion's servants came out in their number to witness the family dramatic showdown, the murmuring and side gossip intensifying.

Matt staggered backwards, almost losing his balance in the process. But his younger brother was quick enough to catch him.

Like an unleashed hungry beast tasting blood for the first time after years of starvation, Matt launched forward, ready to send whoever punched him to hell. But he froze mid-way when he realised it was his son who had dared to hit him while protecting his mother.

"Mark! You dare to hit your own father!" Matt growled in a repressed voice.

"I won't let you hit my mother again." Mark spat out, his whole body trembling with fear and rage.

"I hate you, Daddy," Rosie screamed, holding onto her mother protectively and crying.

If there was one person who could melt Matt's heart, it was his little princess, Rosie, whom he cherished above everything in this world. He would always do everything within his power to please her, even when he stopped having feelings for her mother due to her huge size.

"Enough!" Nana Shawl's slightly raspy but sharp voice broke through the suffocating tension. "You all should stop all of this hating and madness. Do you want me to die before my time?" She broke down in tears, her body trembling.

"Mom..." Desmond made an attempt to come closer, but Nana rebuked him, pushing him away. "The hatred is too much for my poor heart. It is destroying this family. It is destroying my husband's legacy. Can't you all see it?"

A defining silence swept across the entire family, bringing to an end all the side whispering and gossiping.

It was at this point that Senator Gregory decided to come closer to his mother, hurt by her tears. He signalled Sam to go back into the mansion and put things in order, while he stood behind his mother's wheelchair, completely ignoring Regina as if she wasn't there. He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to the old woman to dry her tears while patting her on the shoulders.

Matt's gaze shifted from his family to his elder brother, scowling viciously at him, all his animalistic instincts telling him to jump over his mother and punch the hell out of the senator's face.

But the sound of his mother coughing and blowing her clogged nose into the handkerchief made him redirect his gaze to her frail nature.
