The large woman exploded. "You bitch! I’ll kill you!"
Screaming, the large woman charged forward, only to be kicked away at an even faster speed!
The large woman fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
The little fatty was so scared he imdiately started screaming, "Daddy! Hurry! Mommy and I are being beaten to death!"
Soon, a man wearing a thick gold chain with tattooed arms strode over. "Who? Who’s bullying my son! My wife!"
The little fatty pointed at Eliza Sutton and Emtt Lockwood. "It’s them! This little motherless bastard called a woman over who bullied first, then bullied Mommy, and even kicked Mommy to the ground!"
"The nerve! I’d like to see who from the streets dares to act so tough!" The tattooed man gave a sinister smile and looked in the direction his son was pointing.
When he saw Eliza Sutton, a flash of awe crossed his eyes.
The anger on his face instantly changed. "You’re the one who bullied my wife and son?"
"I’m the one who kicked her, but she deserved it."
"Well, well, you’ve got a sharp tongue, little lady. How about this? Seeing as you’re young and it’s your first offense, if you beg nicely, I’ll let you off the hook." As the tattooed man spoke, he reached out to touch Eliza Sutton’s hand.
Eliza Sutton lifted her leg and kicked.
With a THUD, the tattooed man fell to the ground. The imnse montum sent his body sliding backward a long way before he slamd into a pillar and stopped.
"Honey!" the large woman scread, rushing over. "Are you okay? Where does it hurt?"
The tattooed man opened his mouth and with a GAG, spat out a mouthful of blood.
The large woman was stunned, and Sean Zimrman burst into tears with a WAH.
"My daddy’s dead! Emtt Lockwood, your mom killed my daddy!"
The commotion quickly attracted the security guards.
"What’s going on? Who’s causing trouble in the amusent park!"
"Sen, it’s ."
The security captain’s face paled when he saw the man. "President Zimrman, it’s you? What happened?"
The tattooed man spoke with difficulty. "It was this little bitch. She hit ! I’m spitting up blood! I’m going to teach her a harsh lesson!"
The security guard beca furious. "What? Who would dare to ss with Mr. Zimrman and leave him in this state!"
"Mommy." Emtt Lockwood snuggled up to Eliza Sutton’s side.
Eliza Sutton wrapped an arm around Emtt Lockwood’s shoulder. "Don’t be afraid. Mommy’s here."
"I’m not scared. I just wanted to tell you, Mommy, that I’m here too. I can protect you."
Eliza Sutton looked at Emtt Lockwood’s serious little face and couldn’t help but smile, saying softly, "Okay."
After helping the tattooed man sit down, the security captain strode nacingly toward Eliza Sutton. "You’re the one who hurt Mr. Zimrman, right? Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Get on your knees and beg for his forgiveness right now. Otherwise, you’ll be the one to suffer!"
Sean Zimrman stared at Emtt Lockwood with eyes full of hatred. "Emtt Lockwood, your mom hurt my dad. She’s finished! She’ll never find a job in Seabourne again and will be reduced to a beggar! And you’ll just be a little beggar too!"
The large woman added, "Well said! This ti, I’d like to see who dares to help you! Helping you ans going against my husband and the Lockwood Group!"
Both Eliza Sutton and Emtt Lockwood froze. "The Lockwood Group?"
The large woman sneered, "That’s right. My husband is a general manager at the Lockwood Group. Scared now, are you?"
The large woman’s chin was tilted so high it was almost pointing at the sky.
It was no wonder the large woman was so smug. Those three words—"The Lockwood Group"—were just that powerful.
To put it this way, if soone’s child managed to get a job at the Lockwood Group, even as a low-level employee, it was enough to brag about to friends and family for ages.
As for reaching the position of general manager, that wasn’t a case of your ancestors’ graves simply emitting smoke in blessing—it was a full-on bonfire.
Eliza Sutton had worked at the Lockwood Group for a while, after all, and was a bit puzzled. ’Does the Lockwood Group have a general manager like him?’
Emtt Lockwood shook his head. "I don’t rember."
Although Emtt Lockwood was young, he recognized all the main senior executives of the Lockwood Group, and he didn’t recall this man.
"So? Scared now? If you’re scared, then get on your knees and kowtow to . If you also slap yourself a few tis to make happy, maybe I’ll even let you and this little bastard off the hook!"
Eliza Sutton’s eyes narrowed. "What? Your mouth wasn’t washed out properly just now? Want to do it again?"
The large woman subconsciously took two steps back.
Realizing she’d actually been intimidated by Eliza Sutton, the large woman’s expression beca incredibly irritated.
"What a shaless bitch! Honey, are you seeing this?!"
The tattooed man was also furious. "Fine! If that’s how you want to be, then we’ll stop being polite! Just you wait, I’m calling for backup!"
The tattooed man made the call, then stared viciously at Eliza Sutton and said, "Once my people get here, it won’t matter if you get on your knees and call grandpa!"
The lead security guard also shook his head and sighed, "So young, yet so impulsive in your words and actions. What’s to beco of you now?"
His tone was as if Eliza Sutton were already a dead woman.
In fact, in their minds, Eliza Sutton was indeed as good as gone.
Emtt Lockwood tugged on Eliza Sutton’s sleeve and whispered, "Mommy, don’t be scared. I already called Dad."
"Don’t." Eliza Sutton was startled and quickly waved her hands. "This is nothing. I can handle it myself."
’Seriously, this was a small matter for her.’
’She’d even beaten up Ivan Willow and gotten away unscathed, let alone so nobody punk.’
’More importantly, the idea of getting into a fight and then calling Shane Lockwood to back her up felt far too intimate.’
"Then I’ll tell Dad not to co. I’ll call my cousin."
That’s right, his cousin was Ivan Willow.
’Compared to the idea of a stepdad, Emtt much preferred Ivan just staying his cousin.’
As Emtt Lockwood spoke, he had already activated his watch phone. "Dad, don’t co. I called soone else to co save us."
Eliza Sutton hadn’t expected Emtt to be so fast and said in disbelief, "Emtt, you already made the call?"
"Yeah. I used the ergency dial. It connects as soon as it rings."
Eliza Sutton: "..."
’Oh well. Could she bla adorable little Emtt? Of course not. She could only bla herself for not being clearer.’
Seeing Eliza Sutton remain silent, Emtt grew a little anxious. "Mommy, did I do sothing wrong?"
"No. Emtt, you did great. I was just thinking about how to handle this." This family clearly wasn’t going to let things go peacefully. If she were on her own, even twice as many people couldn’t have stopped her from leaving.
But she had Emtt with her now. She didn’t want him to get hurt, not even if there was the slightest chance.
Just as she was wondering whether to call Ivan Willow or Woody, her phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Shane Lockwood.
Eliza Sutton braced herself and answered, "Hello, Mr. Lockwood."
"Out causing trouble with Emtt?"
"Mm, we ran into a bit of a conflict." Eliza Sutton suddenly felt like she was back in elentary school, being interrogated by her teacher after making a mistake.
