"Miss Horne, what would you like to drink?" Tobby Walker asked as he reached out his large hand to cover Adele Horne's.
Adele's pretty face darkened. She violently smacked away his predatory hand, admonishing him coldly and loudly, "Mr. Walker, please behave yourself!"
The cafe was bustling with people. Adele's scolding was loud enough to attract countless stares.
Everyone saw Adele's face turn cold and angry as she glared at the man opposite her, who had a lecherous look on his face. Most could guess what was happening and cast contemptuous glances at Tobby Walker.
Tobby Walker's face imdiately flushed crimson. He slamd the table as he shot to his feet, bellowing at Adele, "What are you yelling about? Who do you think you are? Nothing but a slut who's been passed around and is pregnant with so bastard's child! You think just because your family has money, you're sothing special? It's an honor for *you* that I'm even here on this blind date. Do you actually think you're so pure, untainted maiden? If you were still a virgin, you think soone like would get a shot?"
Furious, Adele looked around for sothing to throw. The waiter hadn't brought their coffee yet. She glanced at an adjacent table where the patrons were watching her with amusent, their own coffees untouched. She strode to their table, grabbed both steaming cups, one in each hand, spun around, took two quick steps forward, and simultaneously flung the hot liquid into Tobby Walker's face. He scread instantly from the scalding heat.
"You damn bitch! I showed you respect, and you threw it back in my face!" Tobby Walker cursed furiously, jumping and shaking, a savage glint in his eyes as he lunged at Adele.
Adele sidestepped him and turned, fleeing towards the exit.
"You filthy whore, where do you think you're running? Since you're already a whore, what's one more guy?" Tobby Walker, ignorant and arrogant, now drenched in coffee and burning with rage, spewed words that were both ugly and deeply humiliating for Adele.
Seeing Adele run, he imdiately chased after her.
Adele burst out of the cafe and sprinted towards her BMW. She yanked open the car door and dived in. Tobby Walker, however, was fast. Just as she got into the car, before she could even close the door, he caught up. He wrenched the door open, scrambled inside, and pinned her down, trying to assault her.
A black rcedes sped past on the road, as if fleeing sothing.
Julia Bluen kept glancing nervously into the rearview mirror. She and Rachel Bailey had arranged to get so fresh air and had ditched their bodyguards, not wanting them to follow. She knew those bodyguards were highly capable and would catch up soon.
Rachel, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at her with an understanding smile. Having such an overprotective husband could be a bit stifling at tis.
As Rachel was marveling at her friend's queen-like treatnt, she unintentionally glanced towards the roadside and saw sothing that made her exclaim to Julia, "Julia, the world is really going downhill! People these days have no sha at all."
Julia glanced out the window casually and spotted a familiar BMW. There were many BMWs, but she always had a sense for cars belonging to her family.
That was her sister-in-law Adele Horne's BMW!
Wait, what did Rachel just say?
Julia quickly pulled the car over to the curb and stopped.
"Julia, what's wrong?" Rachel asked, puzzled.
Julia ignored her, hurriedly opened the car door, and rushed out, striding quickly towards the BMW.
"You filthy animal, let go of ! Let go! I'm warning you, if you dare touch a single hair on my head, my brother will destroy you!" Adele struggled fiercely, pushing and kicking at Tobby Walker.
"Slut!" Tobby Walker viciously slapped Adele across the face, snarling, "I don't care who your brother is! I'm Tobby Walker, and I fear nothing! So fierce, huh? I like fierce won. They're more exciting to break."
Flynn Walker was a university professor, but his older brother, Tobby Walker, was a good-for-nothing thug with a prior conviction for rape. He had served several years in prison and had only been out for a few months.
Tobby Walker grabbed Adele's wrists, surprised by her strength. He had caught her hands several tis, but she had managed to break free each ti, scratching and hitting him. His face now bore several bloody scratches.
Suddenly, a pair of hands reached from behind and yanked his hair forcefully.
"AAH, THAT HURTS!" he cried out. His grip on Adele's wrists instinctively loosened as he scrambled to free his hair.
But as his hand reached back, a delicate-looking but strong hand caught it, twisting it forcefully. Then, he was violently yanked out of the car and sent tumbling to the ground.
"DAMN IT! OUCH..." What followed was a shoe, wielded like a flyswatter, relentlessly striking his head, face, and body with considerable force, making him ache all over.
His attacker moved with lightning speed. He was so overwheld by the blows that he couldn't even fight back, only able to cover his head and try to scramble away.
"How dare you bully my sister-in-law! Go to hell!" Before he could get up, another kick sent him sprawling, and the shoe resud its relentless assault.
A clear female voice, sharp as an erupting volcano, seared him.
Julia Bluen was furious.
She couldn't believe it was actually Adele.
She was even more shocked that this despicable man would dare to assault her sister-in-law in broad daylight, in her own car, all while spewing vile curses. If she didn't teach this bastard a lesson, she wouldn't be Julia Bluen!
Adele Horne witnessed Julia Bluen's ferocious side for the first ti. She almost thought her eyes were deceiving her. Her sister-in-law, who was always so gentle and considerate with Glades, so poised and easygoing with everyone else, actually had such a fierce side!
Rachel Bailey, who had also gotten out of the car, was dumbfounded. She knew Julia had a fierce streak; Julia had once chased down a robber on a bicycle to help her. That heroic act had truly opened Rachel's eyes.
Since becoming the young mistress of a prestigious family, her friend had mostly displayed a gentle deanor. Who knew that, once truly provoked, she could transform into such a she-devil!
"You pervert! You fiend! I'll beat you to death! Let's see you try to touch another hair on my sister-in-law's head! I'll tear you limb from limb!" Julia, panting from exertion, finally stopped and glared at Tobby Walker.
Only then did Tobby Walker clearly see that his assailant was a woman.
When the onlookers understood what had happened, they all applauded Julia, shouting that she'd done well. This enraged Tobby Walker so much his face turned a deep, purplish red.
"You crazy bitch!" Tobby Walker staggered to his feet and lunged at her.
SLAP! SLAP! Two resounding slaps echoed.
Before Tobby Walker could even make a move, Julia swiftly slapped him twice more.
"You!" Tobby Walker roared, lunging. But Julia didn't flinch. Her almond eyes, blazing with righteous fury, stared him down. To Tobby, she seed like an ancient warrior goddess, radiating an intimidating aura that made even him, a man who feared nothing, feel a prickle of fear.
His slapped face burned with pain.
"You keep spouting 'slut' and 'bitch'! If your mouth stays this filthy, watch out, or I'll cut out your tongue and make sure you never speak another word in your life!" Julia stood tall at 170 centiters, her pretty face taut, reminiscent of Glades Horne when he was angry—as hard and unyielding as marble. Her short hair seed to stand on end, as if cheering on her fury. Her normally gentle, pretty almond eyes were wide, fury like molten lava dancing within them, ready to erupt and incinerate Tobby Walker at any mont. She spoke through gritted teeth, clearly incandescent with rage. At twenty-seven years old, this was the first ti she had ever lost her temper so completely.
Adele had already suffered so much, with the unwed pregnancy and everything. It had taken their family so long to help her begin to heal. How could this vile man dare to hurt her again?
If she didn't stand up for Adele, she wouldn't deserve to be her sister-in-law!
Deep down, the person she truly wanted to punish was the bastard who had taken Adele's innocence.
"You... who are you?"
Tobby Walker was cowed by Julia's fury. He was a broad, tall man; she was just a woman, albeit a tall one. How could he be so overwheld by her presence? How could her aura leave him rooted to the spot?
"Who am I? I'm Julia Bluen, and I don't hide my na from anyone! If you've got guts, co at !"
Julia's words, indeed, had the flavor of the martial world.
Adele stared, her eyes practically popping out of her head, as if she were seeing her sister-in-law for the very first ti.
Rachel Bailey moved to stand beside Julia, trying to present a united front, while internally cheering, Julia, you incredible heroine! You're amazing!
