The young woman held her burning cheek and pointed her trembling finger at Rhonda and the others with anger. Her lips twitched, but no words escaped her mouth.
When the girl behind the young woman saw her mother was getting bullied, she jumped out, raised her head, and glared at Rhonda. “You were the bride who was kissing other men at the wedding and then canceling it afterward! They all say that you're a bad woman! A bad woman! A bad woman...”
At that instant, a crazy killing intent flashed across Rhonda's eyes.
She stepped forward, grabbed the girl's neck, and lifted her. “What did you say, you little b*stard? I dare you to say that again!”
The girl swung her legs as she coughed and struggled to leave.
Seeing that her daughter's life was in danger, the woman pounced on Rhonda, who was still gripping the girl's neck like a mad woman.
Suddenly, two adults and a kid were embroiled in a fight. It didn't take long before the brawl attracted the attention of the shoppers nearby.
Rhonda hated it when people brought up her wedding incident. Thus, the killing intent in her eyes burned brighter as she stared at the girl.
She lifted her arm and slapped the little girl twice on her delicate face.
“Oh my god. How could she hit a child? Is she not afraid of karma?”
“There's nothing that can be done. She has the Luther family backing her and is currently the wife of Luther Group's CEO. Even if she ripped the skies of Hallsbay apart, no one would dare to do anything to her.”
“Yeah. Nowadays, ordinary citizens are afraid of government officials, and government officials are afraid of business people. Luther Group is the most powerful entity in Hallsbay, and now she's using the family's name to do whatever she wants as well as showing off. No one can do anything to her.”
A crowd had gathered around Rhonda as they commented about her and even took photos.
Suddenly, Rhonda screamed.
She looked at the teeth print on her bloody wrist and rage consumed her mind.
She threw the little girl away and yelled at her bodyguards, “Beat them up until they're dead! I can't win against them in a fight. If I can't even deal with two lousy b*tches, what right do I have to call myself Mrs. Luther!”
The bodyguards exchanged a glance.
They were okay with beating up men, but not women and children.
Just as they were hesitating, a series of clapping sounds could be heard from the crowd.
Soon, a slender figure emerged from the gaps between the bystanders.
“How impressive, Mrs. Jefferson. Not only are you using your husband's family reputation to show off everywhere you go, but you're also ordering your bodyguards to beat up a child. Truly, no one can afford to mess with you.”
When that familiar voice traveled into Rhonda's ear, she shuddered. Then she turned around and met Zoey's mocking gaze. At that moment, she couldn't hide the murderous intent in her eyes any longer.
“Ronni...” whispered a young woman beside Rhonda, pulling her sleeve. “You need to calm down. There are too many people around here. If you order your bodyguards to hit the girl until she's crippled, the world will say you're abusing your power to bully people. It'll damage the Luther family's reputation, and it won't be easy for you to explain yourself when you go back home.”
