Chapter 13
ve said so much, so it’s my turn to speak now, right?”
Erin was utterly bewildered as she stared at Sheena’s mocking smile, but before she could react, a handful of green banknotes came flying at her face.
The sudden impact stung her, and the rest of the money fell all around her, scattered all over the ground.
Sheena smirked playfully. “Here’s 150,000 dollars for you. If you willingly renounce your connection to the Freeman family, change your surname, and leave Farlem, this money is all yours. How about it? Isn’t this offer much better than what you proposed earlier?”
“You!” Erin’s chest heaved with rage, her eyes blazing red.
‘How dare this bitch humiliate me with money!‘ Erin shouted internally.
Sheena even mocked her with her own words!
“You’re just a plaything for men! A shameless woman! Flaunting your wealth earned from being an escort! Urgh! I’ll tear you apart!“.
Furious, Erin lunged at Sheena.
Yuri quickly stepped in front of Sheena, but she pushed him back with a single motion. Without any obstacle, Erin reached out to grab Sheena’s hair, but Sheena swiftly caught her wrist and skillfully maneuvered it behind her back.
However, Erin did not back down and swung her other hand at Sheena’s face. This time, it was also caught and twisted behind her back, immobilizing her.
Sheena’s actions were agile, clean, and unnervingly composed. Everything happened swiftly and efficiently.
In fact, the Lawson family’s descendants were trained in physical combat from a young age. When they got involved in a fight, even taking on five opponents was child’s play. Though Sheena could not match the physical strength of her brothers, Albert had chosen Brazilian Jiu- Jitsu for her.
By the age of twelve, Sheena had already earned a black belt in Brazilian Jiu–Jitsu. However, she had never used her skills against the Freeman family, choosing to endure it all.
Erin, who had assumed that Sheena was weak and easy to bully, could not accept the reality of being overpowered in an instant. She screamed hysterically and continued her harsh insults. “I’ll kill you, bitch! I’ll crush you to pieces! You’re nothing but a shameless vixen, seducing
men…
Erin’s abusive words grew louder and more vicious, but Sheena just frowned as she said, “It seems like your mouth could use a good washing.”
Then, Sheena’s gaze turned fierce as she stood behind Erin, restraining Erin’s hands with one hand and gripping her neck with the other, pushing her in front of the fountain’s nozzle.
Erin struggled desperately, but Sheena’s grip on her neck remained tight no matter how she squirmed.
Astonished, she wondered, ‘When did this woman become so strong?‘
As the fountain water splashed all over Erin’s face, she fought harder, but the water kept seeping into her nose, making her cough violently and almost pass out.
Just as Sheena was about to release Erin, she was interrupted by a stern voice, “Stop.”
Sheena turned around and met Elijah’s furious gaze.
She loosened her grip, and Erin collapsed to the ground.
Jennifer rushed forward to help her, but they both ended up sitting on the ground together.
Erin’s makeup was smudged, her hair drenched, and her black eyeliner had run, making her look like a mess. She kept coughing, and the situation looked pitiful. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
In contrast, Sheena remained composed and elegant with her immaculate makeup and hairstyle intact.
Due to Erin’s screaming, the garden was now surrounded by onlookers. The sight of green banknotes scattered all over the ground left everyone dumbfounded, and some even discreetly picked up
the money.
However, with sympathy for the seemingly weaker person, everyone unanimously assumed that Sheena was the aggressor. All eyes turned toward her as if demanding an explanation.
Elijah was no exception.
He stared at Sheena, his expression grim as he asked, “What exactly happened here?”
