Vivian's reaction proved that what Chester said was true.
Jessica's rage boiled over. She shook off Angela's hand and dashed toward Vivian, a murderous look twisting her face. "It's really you! You bitch, it's really you!"
She grabbed a handful of Vivian's hair and pulled it hard. Vivian screamed in pain as she tried to shield herself from her attacker. "Ouch! Let go of me!"
"I won't let go of you! Not before I make you pay!" Jessica pulled Vivian's hair with more strength. Vivian flailed around, trying to swat off Jessica's iron grip. As a new wave of tears streamed down her cheeks, blinding pain shot up from her foot to her head. Jessica had stomped on her foot with all her might and fury.
The heel of Jessica's shoe was like an awl, piercing her skin and breaking small bones on its path.
"Ah!" Vivian's throat burned with her pained screams, and her face was now white as bone.
Enjoying the pleasure of revenge, Jessica said viciously, "Does it hurt? My husband taught me this. You used me to hurt my father. You are such a ruthless woman, but I can be worse."
She lifted her foot and stomped down hard again.
At the same time, she pulled Vivian's hair harder.
Vivian felt a burning, prickling pain in her scalp and a tearing pain in her instep. With a deep, shuddering breath, she murmured, "I will kill you, Jessica."
Eyes red with pure hatred, she turned around and pushed Jessica away with all her strength. Jessica staggered backward and knocked down a table and chair. The wine bottle on the table fell to the floor and shattered, spraying stained glass everywhere and spilling red wine on the floor.
"Oh, my God! You bitch!" Jessica's face twisted in pain.
Before the others could help Jessica, Vivian pounced on Jessica like a mad dog and straddled her.
"I will kill you, Jessica!" Vivian pinned Jessica on the floor and put both hands around her neck.
Jessica's face turned red, and she gasped for air like a fish out of water. With Vivian's hands cutting off her air supply, she felt her body weaken slowly.
"Bitch..."
The fight ensued.
"Stop! Stop! You'll kill her!" Sandra went to pull Vivian away, but was pushed away by Vivian.
Jessica took the opportunity to take a deep breath. With one snappy movement, she rolled Vivian on her back, pinned her to the floor, and choked her. The tables turned quickly.
Sandra lost her footing and fell backward.
"Mom, are you okay?" Seeing his mother fall, Chester hurried over to help her up. Then, he stared at Vivian angrily and headed to get her.
Sandra grabbed her son's wrist and said, "I'm fine. Don't get involved. You'll get hurt. Just help me up."
Gritting his teeth, Chester turned back to his mother and helped her up in silence.
At this moment, Jessica had the upper hand. She pinched Vivian's neck with one hand and slapped her face with the other.
"How dare you take advantage of me? How dare you hurt and disable my father? How dare you want to marry into Shi family? I won't let you get away with everything you've done! You'll learn to stay away from my family today!"
Jessica bellowed while slapping Vivian furiously until her face was awfully bruised and swollen.
"Let me go!" Vivian was still struggling with all her strength, trying to throw Jessica off her. But Jessica was mad and blind with rage. She only slapped Vivian harder and harder.
Vivian was almost out of breath now.
It was embarrassing that two well-dressed women grappled with each other with disheveled hair.
Dora had never seen such an exciting scene before. She wanted to applaud, but seeing that her mother and grandfather were still there, she kept her hands steady. But her eyes were shining with delight.
She really did not expect Vivian to be so crafty and patient. In order to marry John, she had done so many vicious things.
At first, Dora felt very excited, but now, seeing that Vivian had no more strength to fight back, she shook her mother's hand and said, "Mom, should we go stop them? I'm afraid that Aunt Jessica will really kill Vivian and end up in jail."
