Chapter 308 - Slap

Slap

Keira abruptly took a step forward, grabbed the woman’s arm, and delivered a slap!

….

“Slap!”

The woman’s head whipped to the side, her cheek stinging with pain. Clutching her face, she cried out in shock, “You dare to hit me?!”

Keira’s cool voice rang out. “Exactly, I hit you!”

Then, with a forceful shove, she pushed the woman into the ball pit!

She repaid every bit of what had been done to Amy right back to the woman!

This didn’t at all conflict with Keera’s character because the bottom line for any mother was her child.

Struggling, the woman clumsily surfaced from the sea of balls, then touched her face, wincing in pain and gasping in a sharp intake of cold air.

She pointed at Keira and cursed furiously. “You dare to hit me! Do you even know who I am?! With just one word, I could make you disappear from Clance!”

Keira looked at the woman before her, feeling nothing but disgust.

Were these wealthy fools only capable of such overused clichés?

Even in novels, shouldn’t there be some variety in dialogue?

Mary came to her senses upon seeing this. She was frightened by “Keera’s” actions; how had she forgotten to stop her just now?

Fearing she might bring trouble to “Keera”, who was without any foundation in Clance, Mary stepped forward to redirect the anger. “Christina, I know you. You’re nothing but someone who abuses the Olsen family’s power to do whatever you want here. Do you know who we are?”

This woman was one of two distant relatives adopted by the Olsen family, named Christina and Victoria after being taken in.

From their names, it was evident how desperately the Olsen family had hoped to have their own daughters!

Unfortunately, of the three Olsen family’s branches, the first and second branches tried their best but only produced seven sons, and as for the third branch… Uncle Olsen was unmarried!

Left with no alternatives, the Olsen family treated their two adopted daughters as treasures, and they received nearly the same treatment as true daughters of wealth.

Outsiders would all show them respect.

Even Ellis had once planned to arrange a marriage between Christina and Lewis, but after Lewis rejected the idea, she ended up marrying someone else in Clance.

Hearing Mary’s words, Christina narrowed her eyes, recognizing her. “I wondered who was being so arrogant, turns out it’s a daughter from a side branch of the Davis family! Mary, do you think you’re still the treasured daughter of the Davis family? Your family was already partitioned off! Don’t tell me you’re not afraid of offending me. Do you no longer care for your own well-being?”

Mary sneered. “It was you who laid hands on Amy first, and we’re only hitting back. Christina, I would advise you to quit while you’re ahead. Yes, I’ve been separated from the main family, but do you think my uncle would just stand by and see us bullied by you?”

Here’s the revised and connected version of the passage:

Christina scoffed. “Everyone knows that the Davis family main branch doesn’t get along with you… And besides, it was this little slut that started it by hitting my son with a ball first!”

Keira pointed at a nearby security camera. “The pot is calling the kettle black, aren’t you? Shall we check the surveillance to see who initiated the attack?”

Christina had seen everything clearly. Her son was a little tyrant on the playground, but she didn’t think he was in the wrong at all. With a scoff, she retorted, “Do you think this surveillance camera will be useful today? Would you believe me if I said that with just one word from me these cameras might just ‘accidentally’ fail today? Besides, do you know what status my son holds? If your daughter compares to my son, even if he killed her, a million in compensation would settle it. If you dare to touch a single hair on my son, I could make you go bankrupt in compensation!”

After saying that, she picked up her phone, ready to call someone. “You dare to hit me; I won’t let you leave this amusement park today!”

Mary immediately furrowed her brow and took a step forward. “Christina, should we bring Mr. Ellis here to judge this matter today?”

At those words, Christina’s fingers hesitated slightly. She had been adopted into the first branch of the family, hence Ellis could technically be considered her cousin. But Ellis was the successor trained by Uncle Olsen, always beside him and guided from a young age. He held a special place in the Olsen family, sometimes wielding even more influence than his own father.

Christina and Victoria, adopted by the second branch, were both pampered as they grew up, and the brothers were also willing to treat them as younger sisters. Yet, everyone feared Ellis, the veritable devil, their brother.

With that in mind, Christina sneered. “I know you, you just had a blind date with my cousin recently, didn’t you? But as far as I know, he rejected you. What, do you think he could ever fancy you? Who are you trying to scare?”

As she spoke, she looked at Keira. “Moreover, for such a trivial matter, why bother my brother? I can handle this myself!”

No sooner had she finished speaking than the bodyguards gathered around, surrounding Christina. “Miss, what has happened?”

Christina pointed at Keira. “This person attacked me, teach her a harsh lesson!”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

Mary stepped in front of Keira. “Christina, don’t you go too far!”

Christina looked at her. “Mary, I’d advise you to mind your own business. These bodyguards have all been trained by the Olsen family. I wouldn’t want them ‘accidentally’ hurting you now.”

Immediately, she commanded, “What are you waiting for? Go!”

The bodyguards were about to advance. Mary anxiously stood in front of Keira, facing the group of burly men. She felt an urgent panic. Were she and Keera really going to get beaten up here today? What should she do?
