“Pow!” Azalea was being slapped and her face was experiencing great soreness. She was dumbfounded and stuttered, “You…”
Abbie did not stop despite hitting Azalea once. A few loud slaps were subsequently being heard.
Azalea’s head was buzzing and she could not react at all. Abbie swiftly grabbed her hair after hitting her a few times. “You fucking backstabbed me! Do you think I am an easy target?”
“I… I did not!” Azalea was stunned due to the continuous blows.
“You do not have the guts to admit your actions, don’t you?” Abbie continued to grab her hair and mercilessly gave her a kick aimed at her leg area. Azalea immediately knelt down due to the strike.
“I did not make a fuss with you last time as I deemed that it was unnecessary. You are a disgusting piece of shit who is not worth my time. It is a disgrace for me to get into an argument with you. It is out of my expectation for you to become worse as the days go by. You are very daring to provoke me countless times, aren’t you? Are you assuming that I am a weakling who you could simply mess with?”
Abbie finished speaking and gave another two slaps to Azalea, who was kneeling on the floor. Azalea was forced to the ground and there was blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. Her heart was filled with hatred and anger. She had initially planned to get into a fight with Abbie but she was currently the disadvantageous party. She was also aware that she did not have the capability to win this battle.
Emily would definitely come down real soon. Azalea decided to endure the hits as she had already been beaten anyway. Emily would then be able to see the miserable look on Azalea’s face.
Azalea was hoping that Emily would witness how she was being bullied but things went contrary to her wishes. Emily did not show up despite a long period of time.
Emily had already pressed the elevator button but she received a message from Angel while she was waiting for the elevator. “Mom, I assume that you are currently at home. I would like to pay you a visit and I am already at the main entrance of the apartment building.”
Emily felt troublesome upon receiving Angel’s text message. Why did this fake-ass bitch keep pestering Emily?
Was Angel out of her mind?
Emily genuinely did not want to meet with Angel. However, she had no excuse to avoid her as Angel was currently at the main entrance.
Emily would definitely meet Angel if she exited the apartment building. She initially planned to tell Angel that she was out of home as an excuse for Angel to leave the premises. However, she then recalled that Azalea was currently in the lobby of the apartment building. Azalea would definitely meet with Angel by coincidence, wouldn’t she? It would be game over for Emily when Azalea told Angel that she was currently at home.
This matter was really a pain in the ass!
Emily was feeling distressed and she eventually did not head into the elevator despite it being opened. She frowned and stood there while trying to think of a way in dealing with this mess.
The following scene had occurred in the lobby of the apartment building. Azalea’s face was injured due to the beating from Abbie and she was unable to retaliate at all. A voice suddenly came into the picture when Azalea was in agony, “Stop! You need to stop what you are doing right now! How could you lay a finger on others?”
Angel appeared at the scene in an attempt to back Azalea up. She saw Azalea being hit by Abbie as she was parking her car.
It was impossible for Abbie in listening to Angel when she was still feeling agitated towards Azalea. She swiftly waved her hand to break free from Angel. “Get out of my way! It is none of your business here. Stop being a busybody!”
Angel almost fell as she was pushed away by Abbie. She was so furious and snapped back, “Have you gone bonkers? Why would you hit others without showing any mercy? Guys, get rid of Miss Clark right now!”
Angel had come prepared regarding her plan to visit Emily. She bought gifts and even brought along Callum’s bodyguards.
She had used the bodyguards as a tool for them to report her having a meetup session with Emily to Callum. It was now time for her bodyguards to shine based on current circumstances.
It was impossible for Richard’s men, who had been instructed to keep an eye on Abbie, to sit back and do nothing upon noticing that Angel’s bodyguards coming over. They immediately charged forward and roared, “We shall dare you to lay a finger on Lady Abbie!”
Valeria was able to witness the scene where both sides were at daggers drawn. She opened the door and got out of the car before voicing her opinion in a teasing voice, “Hello there! What are you guys up to? Does the act of Abbie discipline someone else have anything to do with you guys? Are you guys trying to meddle into someone else’s business?”
The bodyguards of the Floyd family took a few steps back upon noticing Valeria. They respectfully greeted her, “Mrs. Howard, hello there!”
“What is with the unnecessary polite gesture? I shall remind you guys once again that my best friend is currently teaching someone else a lesson. Why are you guys trying to cause trouble?”
“Well… Erm…”
The bodyguards glanced at Angel as they were speechless. However, Valeria did not look at her at all. Angel felt upset as she was being ignored by Valeria. She greeted in an annoyed tone, “Valeria, hello there! I am the one who had instructed them to stop this ruckus!”
“What? Angel, you were the one? What does this matter have anything to do with you?”
“I don’t intend to see the Clark sisters get into an argument with each other. I hope that they could reconcile!”
“What? Isn’t that a joke? What right do you have in telling Abbie to stop laying a finger on Azalea? Who do you think you are? Are you intending to become a savior?”
Valeria stared at Angel with a disdained look on her face. Angel was dumbfounded and struggled to snap back. Valeria turned to look at Abbie and asked, “Abbie, are you done disciplining Azalea? Have you vented your anger?”
Abbie continued to slap Azalea in the face several times. She spat on Azalea and said, “I am feeling fifty-percent better than just now!”
“Your hands must be hurting, right? Let me ease them for you!”
Valeria get ahold of Abbie’s hands and blew on them, “Look at you, your hands are all red! You should have sat back and instructed the bodyguards to do such a thing for you. What should you do if your hand is no longer silky smooth due to the beating?”
Angel was fuming with anger upon hearing how arrogant was Valeria behaving. It was as clear as day that Valeria did not take Angel seriously judging by her sarcastic tone. The main thing was that Angel had no authority to give orders to the bodyguards of her own family. Wouldn’t it be a huge joke should this matter was being spread out?
Angel could no longer keep her cool and questioned, “Valeria, don’t you think that you are abusing your powers to bully others?”
“Well, I guess so? Do you have a problem with that?” Valeria turned to look at Angel and challenged, “Do you want to make things right? I have no problem in making your wish come true. However, your face would turn out the same as Azalea. Have you made up your mind yet? You are welcome to charge ahead as you please!”
Valeria was indicating that she would show no mercy towards her. Angel was furious but she knew that it would be unwise to behave recklessly. The bodyguards of the Floyd family were not on her side after all. Besides, the bodyguards would stand no chance against Valeria’s men if they decided to lend Angel a helping hand, wouldn’t they?
Angel had suffered a great embarrassment for today!
Abbie sneered and chimed in, “Stop talking big when you do not have the ability to do so. This is B City and you are not in the United States! It is not your place to become a superhero even if the current setting is in America! Take a look at yourself in the mirror before you decide to stand up for others!”
Abbie took Valeria’s hand after she finished speaking. “Valeria, let’s go!”
The two of them locked hands and eventually left the scene without looking at Angel in the eyes.
Angel was about to burst with anger. She recollected her emotions and helped Azalea up. “Are you okay?”
“Not at all! It… It hurts so much!” Azalea continued whining, “Sob… Abbie is trying to beat me to death. She is absolutely vicious!”
“You are right. How could she be so ruthless? I shall support you up to the apartment and apply some medication to your wound! Valeria has crossed the line! I would definitely not let her off the hook if she is not currently pregnant!” Angel came up with an excuse to defend herself.
“Angel, I am so sorry. You have experienced a hard time because of me!”
“I am fine upon being met with such trouble but I am more worried about you. Abbie would have ruined your face if I did not appear at the scene today, wouldn’t she?”
“Yes, Abbie is such a cold-hearted person! Angel, I can’t seem to let bygones be bygones and you must lend me a helping hand. You shall tell Emily how poorly they have treated me!”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely tell Emily the entire story!”
The elevator came to a halt as they were busy talking to each other and Emily was seen to be standing in the corridor. She noticed Azalea, who had exited the elevator with a bloody nose and a swollen face as the door opened. She was taken aback and asked, “What has happened?”
