The Starfield Farming Sovereign (Elizabeth Schofield) novel Chapter 142

Finished

Those two adults glared at Elizabeth and her group like they wanted to cut them down with their eyes. Their looks screamed contempt and raw, self–righteous age.

The man took a step forward, voice like ice. “So you’re the ones who hurt my son and tried to extort him?”

He had no intention of letting this go..

The woman’s glare felt like poison, her face twisted in disgust.

She looked them up and down, taking in the grime and the trash–stained clothes, and her lip curled like she’d stepped in something foul.

She pinched her nose and shoved her finger so close to Elizabeth’s face, it nearly poked her, before she started shrieking.

“What kind of filthy vermin crawled out of this dump? You bottom–feeders think you can touch my son? Just look at you–pathetic! You’re nothing but trash scavengers. Your hands stink. What, you get bored of living and decided to pick a fight with us? You steal from us too? You’re so desperate you want to end up in jail?”

Spit flew as she ranted, each word nastier than the last. “Now! Right now! Get on your knees and apologize to my son! Then stand there and let him hit you back until he feels better. If not, I’ll make sure you all rot in a cell for the rest of your lives!”

Peter saw how ugly things were getting and gritted his teeth, ready to take the blame. “I hit him! It had nothing to do with Ms. Elizabeth. If you want someone, come at me!”

Elizabeth yanked him back behind her, shielding him.

She looked the woman right in the eye, not an ounce of fear showing, and her voice sliced through the screaming like a blade.

“A rabid mutt whose leash slipped. Explains the foam at the mouth. You look human, but not even animals would stoop this low. At least animals keep their pups from biting strangers. You, though, let your crotch goblins loose and then throw a fit when someone puts them in their place. You ought to be grateful we did your job for you. Instead, you’re out here throwing a tantrum.”

Her words landed with ruthless clarity. “So what if I hit them? I did the world a favor teaching your nasty little accidents a lesson. Maybe next time, you’ll keep your disguises on a little tighter. If you can’t even manage that, don’t come here acting like you’re better than anyone.”

The woman shook with fury, her face twitching. “You little brat! How dare you talk to me like that?”

The man’s face went dark, patience gone.

He rolled up his sleeves, showing off thick arms, and roared, “You think you’re clever, don’t you? I’ll show you what happens to mouthy kids like you!”

He swung a fist right at Elizabeth’s face, the air full of tension.

Elizabeth’s eyes narrowed. She braced herself, ready to show him just who he was messing with.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, sharp and desperate. “Stop!”

Chapter 147 Arrogant Parents

Finished

Someone barreled out from behind Elizabeth, arms spread wide, blocking the punch with their own body.

It was Taxhn.

She looked pale from nerves, but her eyes blazed with resolve as she shouted with all she had, “Dad!”

Mick Conte froze, his entire body jolting. He stared at sha like he was looking at a ghost.

For a second, shock and confusion played across his face

Then his brow furrowed, and his eyes filled with irritation, not joy.

“Tasha? Weren’t you and your mom exiled? What are you doing here?”

His words hit Tasha like a slap. She trembled, face going white as a sheet.

Mick’s wife, Mandy Conte, shricked like someone had stepped on her toes. “Mick! That really is the brat? How did she get back? You better not even think about bringing her home! I will never let that little criminal set foot in my house! If she so much as tries, I’ll dump her in foster care!”

The green–haired kid leaned over to the redhead and whispered, “Terence, is that trash picker really your

sister?”

The redhead, Terence Conte, looked like someone had slapped him in the face. “No way! I don’t know her! My parents only have me! She’s nothing to me!”

Elizabeth pulled Tasha closer, glaring at Mick and Lila with nothing but contempt. “So this is the guy who married up and then threw his wife under the bus–ruined her mind, got her exiled, and dumped his own daughter. Some real winner, huh? Deadbeat dad, that’s what you are.”

Those words–deadbeat dad–landed like a punch. Mick’s face went from red to nearly black.

Tasha nodded, her voice shaking with pain and hate. “Ms. Elizabeth, that’s him! Don’t worry, I would rather die than go back with them!”

Her accusation, paired with Elizabeth’s, made Mick snap. The words “deadbeat” and “married up” hit him right where it hurt, and now he was beyond furious.

his partner. “Unbelievable! You think you can do whatever you want on Centria Planet? Assaulting an officer too! Take then in!”

Both officers pulled out handcuffs and marched over.

Elizabetly’s voice cut in, sharp and commanding. “Hold in The two officers actually stopped, startled by the force in her tone.

She stepped in front of the kids, locking eyes with Mr. Wardenfold. “Is this how you handle things? You just take one side, never check the facts, never look at the scene, just arrest people? Is that what the law says?”

Ward looked annoyed and stubborn. “They’re hurt. That’s proof enough. You don’t put your hands on people, no matter what. Especially not an officer. You made it worse for yourselves. Enough talk–come quietly.”
