Facing Fiona's commanding presence, the woman quickly let go, only to shove Fiona hard right after. Thankfully, Nash was there to catch her just in time.
"Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!" she shouted, raising her hand to slap Fiona.
Keaton didn’t even have time to react. While Nash and Fiona managed to steady themselves, Fiona could have blocked the slap, but Nash might have lost his balance and gotten hurt on the table edge behind him.
In a flash, just as the slap was inches from Fiona's face, a hand caught the woman's wrist and threw her aside with force.
Jackson!
Fiona's face lit up with joy, and she smiled instantly. Nina chimed in, "Brother~"
Nash frowned, reluctantly acknowledging Jackson.
The woman, who had been tossed aside, was about to explode with anger. But when she got up and saw Jackson, she froze, too scared to say a word.
Parents who could afford to attend such school events usually had impressive resources, as most wouldn’t waste time on such activities given their busy lives.
"Mr. Ford," the woman stammered, her voice shaky.
Seeing Fiona beside him, a wave of jealousy washed over her. She envied Fiona’s youth, her looks, and how well she knew someone like Jackson.
Jackson ignored her and turned to Fiona. "Are you alright? Did you get hurt?"
Fiona shook her head. She was fine.
But she felt something else entirely.
