Ex Husband Returns: The Martial Arts Godmaster

Chapter 9: Jewelry master

    Without warning, Mayor Richard, who had been watching the whole scene at the side, suddenly walked over to Amelia, raising his right palm! 

*Pah!* 

" You insolent fool!" His body trembled with rage as he flared! " Who gave you the right to trespass here!?" 

Amelia's face was swung to the side with the force of the slap, causing her to almost lose balance. 

Instantly, her cheek became swollen like a pig's head, with a palm imprint! 

Her eyes widened, but before she could react, another terrible force came down on the same cheek! 

*Pah!* 

" I gave you an invite, but you deemed yourself unworthy of it!" 

Samantha shook her head, her face blazing with fury! 

How could she tolerate someone who had just smashed, stepped on, and spat on her gift? 

Gasp! 

The onlookers present let out a disbelief gasp; a result of being stunned by the unexpected scene. 

Silence stretched on in the hall; no one could say a thing. 

Amelia was utterly in shock, her eyelids quivering as she struggled to bear the stinging pain on her cheek. 

She thought of exposing Logan's facade, but who knew she would get slapped. 

To her, Logan was an irrelevant thing - why would they be defending him? 

" This is uncalled for! Logan is full of deceit! I don't know why he got an invite, but you need to know he is a worthless pest!"

"If he is a worthless pest indeed, then what does that make you, Amelia?!" 

Samantha snapped, getting more displeased. 

"You......." Amelia couldn't defend herself; her voice caught in her throat. 

Suddenly, she turned to Damien, tugging his sleeve. 

" You are my husband, protect me," she said, lowering her voice and putting on an aggrieved expression. 

Damien's eyes dimmed. Of course, he was also displeased that his wife was slapped publicly, but he wouldn't want to get on the mayor's bad side. 

"Miss Samantha, I think you are getting it all wrong. My wife here knows this unruly maggot more than anyone here," he started, trying to pacify the situation. " Whatever she says is the right thing, and I can testify to it." 

Hearing this, a mocking snort escaped from Mayor Richard, who folded his arms against his chest. 

" The real thing?" 

He had been observing the whole event. At first, he wanted to believe Amelia's words - however, Logan's calmness in the situation made it dawn on him. 

Only a brave and powerful person would not lose their composure at a time like this. 

" Yes!" Amelia wiped her cheek, swallowing down the embarrassment.

The shrew look was back, although her cheek was still swollen. 

 " The bracelet is a counterfeit, and I hope you will start learning ways to apologize to me after realizing the good I have done." 

 " You are delusional! I don't care whether the bracelet is fake or not! Anything from Logan is special and worthy to me." 

Samantha clarified with a strong tone immediately. 

Logan, amused by the whole scenario, turned to the fuming Samantha. 

His gaze pinned on her, staring at how she stood up for him despite her prestigious image. 

An inscrutable look crossed over his face. 

"What makes you think my gift is fake?" He glanced at Amelia indifferently. 

The crowd wasn't expecting Logan to speak after the throw and the talk that had been done. 

At this moment, they started anticipating what was about to happen. 

" Look at him, he finally has the cheek to open his mouth," a man in a blue tuxedo remarked..

" I guess he was frightened before," another chimed in sarcastically.

" Maybe the rotten trash wasn't expecting his ex-wife to attend the party and expose him." 

Logan's eyes narrowed with intense coldness, shifting his gaze to the blabbering crowd.

Instantly, an overwhelming pressure swept across the entire hall, quietening them! 

The danger in Logan's eyes was something they had never witnessed before! 

" I asked you one more time. How are you sure it is fake?" 

He faced Amelia again. 

" Do you want me to prove it?" Amelia scoffed, twitching her nose with disgust. " You are a rat! A penniless bastard who can't even afford proper footwear or a shirt. I fed you! Forgotten? Without me, you are nothing at all. So tell me, how can you afford a five-million-dollar bracelet?!" 

" I see you don't mind your secret getting more exposed today, faky Logan," Damien added, supporting his wife.

Logan merely curved his lips. 

" So that's your claim? You think it's fake because I can't afford it. What if I can afford it?" 

Amelia found Logan's words ridiculous and stupid. 

She hissed, " Where does a useless parasite want to get such?! If you can afford it, I will strip myself naked!" 

This again startled the crowd, and they murmured among themselves. 

No one dared to say anything loud, since Logan's icy gaze had shut them up previously. 

" Amelia," Damien quickly turned to her, grabbing hold of her hand. 

He whispered, " Don't make such a bet." 

" I don't care," Amelia retorted, snatching her hand from his grip. 

" I am definitely sure Logan can never afford such a kind of luxury! He is simply crawling at the bottom of the social class!" 

Samantha couldn't take it any longer and raised her hand the second time. 

However, Logan reached out to stop her. 

" This is mine to settle." 

With no other choice, she nodded and stepped back for Logan to handle it. 

Following Amelia's words, Carlos, who had been silent for a while, let out a ludicrous laugh. 

"Hehe."

He expressed in an arrogant tone, " My father owns a billionaire empire. I am more worthy to be with you, Samantha. Do you really want to stand with someone whose ex-wife just exposed his lifestyle? A gigolo? Samantha, you deserved more than this unfortunate garbage lurk who can only dream of living a good life." 

Amelia sniggered, " I don't want to believe Miss Samantha could be foolish enough to believe Logan's lies. Like I said earlier, if he can really afford the bracelet, I would strip myself naked!" 

" I don't mind dropping ten million dollars if it's true also. I want to see how he can prove himself." Carlos joined Amelia in the bet..

They both assumed it would never be possible for Logan to really get the crimson diamond bracelet. 

" Mark your words then." Logan accepted the deal and looked down at the scattered crimson diamonds on the tiled floor.

Bang! 

Just then, a stocky man in a tailored gray suit stepped into the hall with a forceful stride, his ponytail of blonde hair swaying slightly with each step. The ornate door creaked on its hinges before slamming shut behind him, reverberating through the spacious room.

" Master Logan!" The man called out excitedly, rushing towards the stage. 

Heads turned, eyes bulged out at the sight of the figure who had just emerged! 

" Wait! Isn't that the famous jewelry master?!" One of the guests couldn't keep his tongue anymore and quickly exclaimed! 

Another guest followed suit, " Oh my, lord of surprises! This is unbelievable! It's Kendrick, the master of jewelry!" 

As they were all in shock at the sight of the so-called jewelry master, the latter was instead focusing on Logan. 

" Master Logan, I heard you were present at the mayor's daughter's birthday banquet. It would be an unfortunate thing not to meet you!" 

Kendrick couldn't stop running his mouth as he skipped forward, ignoring whatever was going on. 

Suddenly, he stepped on a piece of crimson diamond that was scattered on the ground and slipped!

Before he could lose his balance, a guard rushed forward to steady him.

"Gracia," he nodded at the guard, lowering his head to see what had caused his slip.

"Heavens………the crimson diamond bracelet I specially crafted for Master Logan!"
