The force of my slap sent Gail sprawling onto the sofa.
Gail's friend jumped up from her seat, saying that she would give us some space and hurried off.
I ignored her and glared at Gail. "What did you say to Grandma?!"
"You little b*tch!"
Gail cursed at me and got up from the sofa, wanting to return the favour.
I quickly grabbed her wrist and gave her two more slaps.
"Ah!"
Gail shrieked like a banshee and broke free of my grasp, then shoved me.
She was surprisingly strong. I was caught by surprise and fell to the floor.
Gail pinned me to the ground and started pulling on my hair and slapping me. At the same time, she cursed at me.
"You b*tch, how dare you show up in front of me? I'm going to kill you, you little b*tch!"
She landed a punch on my temple and my head spun. My sight went black for a moment as my ears buzzed.
Everyone in the cafe gathered around us when they saw us fighting. They whispered among themselves while pointing at us.
After having a moment to gather my senses, I grabbed Gail's hair and tried to smack her head on the floor.
She kicked and punched me. We were both caught up in our brawl.
I could hear the spectators talking about us.
Gail seemed to feel ashamed and wanted to get up. There was no way I'd let her off the hook so easily, so I put more strength into my attacks.
"Queena!"
I had no idea how long we'd been fighting, but May's scream suddenly rang out next to me.
I held on to Gail's arm, refusing to let her go. "Come and help me!"
"Alright!" May quickly joined the fight.
...
Gail noticed that something was amiss and tried to pry my hand away. "Let me go, you lunatic!"
However, how could she possibly win against the two of us?
Soon, Gail was being beaten to a pulp. She was losing the strength to fight back.
I yanked at Gail's arm. "What did you say to Grandma?!"
May panted as she held on to Gail's other arm.
Gail struggled for a moment or two, but she couldn't break free. She spat at me. "Bah! You're just like that old hag, you little b*tch!"
I asked May, "Did you drive here?"
She nodded.
I shot her a look and we dragged Gail towards the door.
We'd already been fighting for a while. If we continued to stay here, someone would probably call the police.
If so, we'd be in a lot of trouble.
The onlookers dispersed since the fun was over. May and I walked out of the cafe and shoved Gail into the car.
Now that we were alone, Gail started to panic. She shrieked, "What... what are you guys up to?!"
I gritted my teeth, still holding on to her. "What exactly did you say to my grandmother?!"
I had to squeeze each word out.
If it was lawful, I would have killed Gail long ago.
She still had some fight left in her. I kicked her in the stomach and she bent over in pain.
"Alright, I'll tell you."
Seeing that there was no hope for her, she finally surrendered. "I told the old... your grandmother that you ruined Phoebe's wedding."
I didn't believe her. "What else?"
Grandma had never accepted Gail and Phoebe, and she couldn't care less about the wedding. Gail had to have said something else to make Grandma so mad!
"I also said..." Gail's voice became a lot meeker. "You brought a pregnant woman with you, so you had to be defiled as well. Birds of a feather flock together, so maybe you were pregnant with someone's b*stard child too."
"How dare you!"
I glared at her, my face white with rage.
