Chapter 9 Not Gonna Go Easy on You

In a split second, a glass of boiling hot water was thrown in Tiana’s direction.

She immediately flinched when the hot water landed on her chest, and with that, whatever intention she had to slap Olivia was gone in that instant.

“Who did that?! Who threw that on me?!” she shrieked. Her eyes that searched for the perpetrator soon fell on Rachel, who was holding an empty cup in her hand.

Tiana was so enraged that she darted to Rachel without care. She then grabbed Rachel by the collar and raised her other hand again to slap her.

However, with great agility, Rachel managed to grab hold of Tiana’s hand. The grip Rachel had on Tiana was so tight that the latter felt like her wrist was breaking.

“Bullying my children while I’m not here? You are still the same old ill-bred Tiana after all these years, huh?”

After saying that, Rachel shoved Tiana away from her and proceeded to pull Casper and Olivia into an embrace.

“That good daughter of yours struck my son on his face. Someone will have to return Olive the slap. Take your pick—it is either you or me.” Tiana blurted out in anger while pointing at Olivia.

Upon hearing that, Rachel turned to look at Theodore, who indeed had a handprint mark on his face.
