Chapter 147.
Hudson gulped and started stepping back, fearfully saying, “Dont… Don’t come any closer, or I’ll call the police.”
Dominic showed a sinister smile and warned, “You can try.”
Meanwhile, Dominic signaled to the security guards with his eyes.
Then a group of guards quickly rushed towards Hudson.
Soon, the private room was filled with Hudson’s blood–curdling screams.
An hour passed.
Suddenly, the backdoor of the Golden Glory Hotel swung open, and a few security guards dragged Hudson out and threw him down hard.
With a loud bang, Hudson’s body hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Hudson groaned in pain, struggling to get up from the ground.
A security guard glared at Hudson with disgust and gave him a hard kick, cursing, “Ugh, what a piece of junk
Then they turned and left, shutting the hotel’s back door behind them.
After a long time, Hudson’s fingers twitched slightly. He slowly opened his eyes, which were swollen beyond recognition, and they were filled with hatred.
Hudson silently vowed to himself, ‘Dominic, I will settle this score with you sooner or later!‘
*****
An hour later, Hudson forced himself to bear the pain and took a cab back to the Stout residence.
As Hudson neared the house, he heard the laughter of Ivana and Molly coming from the living room as Ivana exclaimed, “Mom, this gemstone necklace is so pretty!”
Hudson’s expression instantly turned cold, his swollen face full of anger.
He was beaten so badly, but Molly and Ivana were so happy.
Hudson furiously stormed into the house.
With a sudden burst of strength, Hudson kicked open the living room door.
The loud noise abruptly cut off the laughter of Ivana and Molly
Sitting on the luxurious sofa, Molly and Ivana panicked when they saw Hudson beaten up and bruised.
Molly immediately asked with concern, “Honey, what happened to you?”
Molly and Ivana were still holding expensive jewelry, which was blindingly shiny under the bright chandelier.
Seething with anger, Hudson hobbled rapidly towards Molly and Ivana, bellowing, “Why on earth did you purchase such costly jewelry? I swear, I’ll make you regret this!”
Hudson lost so much money tonight, but Molly and Ivana were squandering his money.

He couldn’t imagine how much these jewels cost.
Then Hudson moved forward, picked up a stick from the corner and swung it directly at Molly.
Molly and Ivana had no time to react before the stick hit Molly, making her scream, “Ouch! Are you crazy? Why are you hitting me?”
Ivana was even more terrified, shaking with fear.

She wanted to step forward to stop Hudson but was too scared of being hit, so she just stood there, covering her head and crying out, “Dad, please stop!”
Hudson had never lost his temper like this before.
Ivana couldn’t figure out why he was so mad today.
Hudson wasn’t listening at all; instead, he was directing all his fury towards Molly, venting the anger he felt towards Dominic on her.
Hudson’s face was twisted in fury as he gritted his teeth and yelled, “I’ll beat you to death, you wretch, for wasting my money.”
He thought, ‘If it weren’t for having to support this parasite, losing a couple million tonight would mean nothing to me!”
Molly was beaten so badly that she could hardly fight back, huddling on the ground with her head in her arms, begging repeatedly, “I didn’t waste money! Honey, please stop.”
Molly clenched her teeth, enduring Hudson’s blows, but her eyes were filled with hatred.
She thought, ‘You old jerk! Someday I will kick you out of the Stout residence!
‘Even if you knelt and begged me, I wouldn’t relent. I’ve had enough of this misplaced anger over the years!‘
Ivana was crying hard, pleading with Hudson to let Molly go.
After a while, Hudson finally ran out of energy, collapsing onto the couch, the stick slipping from his hands.
Molly and Ivana both sighed in relief.
Hudson glared at the jewelry on the table and kicked the table leg in frustration, grumbling, “Return these jewels right now!” Suddenly, he lost 60 million dollars.
How should he explain this situation to the board of members later?
The check was issued in the name of the Stout Group.
Therefore, Hudson had to find a way to fill the gap.
Ever since Isabella came to the company, she had been watching Hudson’s every move. If such a serious mistake surfaced now, she would likely seize the opportunity to oppose him,
Molly, fearing Hudson might hit her again, covered her head and quickly said, “Okay, I’ll return them immediately.”
A fleeting glint of resentment appeared in her eyes.
Molly had put in a lot of effort to buy these items, so how could she just return them so easily?
She wouldn’t just follow Hudson’s instructions.
Chapter 147
This time, Hudson actually dared to hit Molly, so she would definitely make him pay for it.

Ivana looked at the wounds on Hudson’s face, wiped her tears away, and said, “Dad, how did you get hurt so badly? What happened?”
Molly was furious inside, but she had to hide her anger. She forced a concerned look, saying, “Honey, who hurt you? I’ll make sure they pay!”
Molly hurried over, her eyes full of concern, and gently touched Hudson’s cheek with her hand.
Hudson brushed Molly’s hand away irritably, muttering, “Who else could it be? That jerk Dominic!”
Hudson knew Dominic had set him up.
60 million dollars were gone!
Hudson, seething with anger, punched the sofa with all his strength, wishing that punch was landing on Dominic instead.
Ivana instinctively touched the wounds on Hudson’s head, causing him to wince in pain. He shouted, “Don’t touch me! Don’t you know it hurts?”
Startled, Ivana quickly pulled her hand back.
Tears welled up in Ivana’s eyes again, and she said with a hint of grievance, “Dad, I didn’t mean to.”
Hudson glared at Ivana. Then he rubbed his aching jaw, feeling very frustrated.
At that moment, Molly finally realized what was going on.
Hudson was upset today because he had been mistreated by Dominic.
The Lane family had always been more powerful than the Stout family. If there was a conflict between the two families, Hudson would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Even though Molly couldn’t stand Hudson in many ways, she was still tied to his world and had to rely on the Stout family for her livelihood.
If anything happened to Hudson, Molly wouldn’t gain any benefits either.
Ignoring her pain, Molly quickly moved closer, her face full of worry as she looked at Hudson and said, “Honey, since the Lane family has decided to go against us, we can’t just sit back. But Dominic and Cameron are not easy to deal with.”
Hudson shot a cold glance at Molly, grumbling, “Do you think I don’t know about it?”
Hudson shifted his leg, and a sharp, piercing pain immediately shot through him.
Hudson’s irritation and animosity intensified. He was determined to make the Lane family pay for their actions one day. Molly’s expression froze, and her hand clenched into a tight fist.
She mused, ‘You old bastard! It seems you’re getting more and more outrageous!‘
Ivana, sitting aside, understood the situation completely. She lowered her eyes, thinking carefully, and then said, “Dad, th Lane family did so because of the last incident. If we put the blame on Isabella, the Lane family won’t hold us responsible.
So when the Lane family targeted Isabella, the Stouts‘ problem would be solved.
Ivana thought, “That bitch deserves to be punished by Dominic. She’s not only attempting to seduce Jayden but also causing trouble within the company!”

Hudson leaned back or the couch, letting out a dissatisfied gru then?”
The Lane family sought vengeance for Hudson with fervor.
However, Isabella was unharmed.
Molly gently tugged Ivana’s arm in silent comfort. Ivana held M method was wrong. We should try a different one.”
Hudson gave Ivana a sideways glance, looking puzzled.
