Chapter 115 Adaptable
Darlene’s face turned pale with fear!
She quickly straightened up, bowing repeatedly to Eric and Kate, pleading desperately, “Please, please don’t! Kate, can you help me? I know I was wrong, I won’t do it again!”
Darlene looked terrified as she slapped herself on both sides of her face. “I shouldn’t have said. anything. I shouldn’t have come here! I promise, once I leave Lullaby Cafe, I’ll leave the away and never bother you again!
“Please. I beg you, don’t cut off my tongue!”
Darlene was truly scared.
y rip
She knew Eric was firm in his decisions, and his methods were harsh. If he said he’d keep her tongue,
he meant it!
So, Darlene clung tightly to Kate as her last hope.
Who said Eric and Kate didn’t get along? Eric clearly adored and was concerned about Kate!
She had been around the dating block for years, mingling with many men and switching boyfriends faster than outfits. So, she knew men like Eric, who were cold and strict, would stop at nothing to protect a woman once they were committed.
Clearly, Kate was Eric’s top priority.
Darlene was taking a chance.
She was betting that Kate could control Eric, or Kate was the most special one for Eric!
The other three women were already scared silly, kneeling down and slapping themselves. “We know we were wrong, shouldn’t have spoken out of turn!”
They were hitting themselves hard, each one more fiercely than the last. Soon, their faces were swollen. and bruised, with little trickles of blood from their mouths. They could barely speak clearly, but their self–punishment showed no signs of stopping
They were well aware that if Kate didn’t forgive them today, they might not be able to leave this place in one piece.
Kate turned away with a look of disgust, silently chuckling to herself. She showed no sign of concern, just turned to Eric with a hint of playful annoyance. Ric, I don’t want anything to do with this woman’s tongue. Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted.
“Tell them to get lost back to their countries. They shouldn’t ever step foot in Haldoria again, especially not in front of me. It’s disgusting!”
Eric felt the anger in him gradually fading away.

someone cut off Darlene’s tongue in front of Kate.
Kate was right; that idea is pretty disgusting..
So Eric nodded and said in a slightly husky voice. “Okay, we’ll go with your decision.
Darlene instantly breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been granted a pardon!
She quickly thanked them with a bow, “Thank you, Mr. Davison, thank you. Mrs. Davison!”
She didn’t dare to speak out of turn anymore, and the other three followed her lead in bowing their heads. Then they heard Eric’s cold and disgusted remark, “Get out of here!”
Darlene turned and left without a second thought.
Watching her leave ungracefully, Kate found it a bit funny but also felt a bit more admiration for
Darlene
Gotta give it to her–Darlene, despite her sharp tongue and constant clashes, seems a bit out of it since coming back to Haldoria, but she’s actually quite sharp.
She was adaptable.
Most people wouldn’t have been so straightforward or harsh on themselves.
Kate watched coldly as Darlene and her three companions left in embarrassment. Then she turned to Eric and threw herself into his arms.
“Ric… I was really scared just now,”
Her voice was gentle, with a touch of sadness.
She looked up at Eric and murmured, “Please don’t let these jerks make you resort to violence, okay?”
