Suddenly, someone slapped Vivian across the face very hard.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the man who had rushed in front of Vivian.

It was... Alexander?!

Charlie and Alexander had both run up to the stage at the same time. When Charlie arrived, Vivian had just started cursing. He held Nancy's hand, intending to ask if she was seriously hurt, but Vivian's words provoked him.

He narrowed his eyes instantly, and it was at that moment that Alexander slapped Vivian's face.

It stunned everyone!

Even Vivian herself was taken aback by the slap.

She slowly turned back, looked at Alexander in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "Alexander, you hit me?"

Alexander glared at her with a grim face before turning to Zach and Nancy.

"Mr. Whitman, Ms. Swinton, Vivi was just too emotional. Please don't take it to heart."

Zach and Nancy blinked at Alexander with mixed feelings.

Alexander stood sincerely with his hands at his sides and his head slightly bowed. "Mr. Whitman, as an international piano maestro, you naturally have good taste. Ms. Swinton's piano skills are excellent. Your performance created a marvelous audiovisual feast for the audience. Vivi inevitably felt jealous. I have already admonished her..."

Alexander looked into Nancy's face. "I apologize on her behalf for pushing you. Please forgive her."

Alexander's slap indeed left Nancy and Zach speechless.

If it were someone else who had slapped Vivian, they could still make things difficult for her out of anger. But it was Alexander, Vivian's husband. If they continued to make things difficult for Vivian, it would be unjust.

Nancy rubbed her waist and exchanged glances with Zach. Both of them nodded in unison.

"Well, forget about it."

Zach said impatiently, "You should leave now. My concert needs to continue."

Alexander nodded gratefully and turned to Vivian. However, Vivian suddenly yelled.

"So, there's really some shady shit going down! I won't let you get away with it! I don't need your forgiveness! If you don't explain this clearly today, then the concert won't go on!"

Alexander grabbed Vivian's arm hard. "Vivi, that's enough!"

"Out of my way!"

Vivian pushed Alexander away, took a step back, and cursed angrily, "You're just a live-in son-in-law of the Lesser family. What gives you the right to hit me? Just because you're the illegitimate son of the Caine family? Alexander, let me tell you, Nancy is not my dad's biological daughter. Don't try to threaten me again! I can kick you out of the Lesser family at any time!"

Old Master Lesser and Old Mrs. Lesser were standing beside Charlie holding Andrew's arms. Old Mrs. Lesser's face flushed with anger when she heard Vivian's words.

"Andrew! Look at your daughter! She's so mean and narrow-minded. Do you still want to hand over the Lesser family to her? Are you trying to ruin the Lesser family?"
