Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Christy Xenos snapped, “Then tell this little bitch to let go first! Look how she’s treating her sister!”

So Joshua Clarke said to Cindy Clarke, “Cindy, let go first, release your sister! Can’t we talk things through? Don’t use your hands!”

Joshua Clarke was anxious, not touching anyone, but somehow becoming a mess himself.

Just as Christy’s slap was about to fall, her wrist was firmly grasped.

Upon closer inspection, the hand gripping Christy Xenos’ wrist belonged to a man, and it was extremely strong.

Christy’s face changed when she raised her head to see a man dressed in black standing in front of her without knowing when he had arrived.

The newcomer was a bodyguard from the family mansion.

Although bodyguards were stationed around the mansion, it would still take a minute or two for them to appear. The bodyguards came as soon as they found out Christy was hitting Cindy, but it still took a minute or two, allowing Christy to hit Cindy several times.

“Who are you?” Christy angrily asked.

The bodyguard replied rudely, “You dare to raise your hand against the young madam of the Zhekova family at the entrance of the family mansion, what nerve!”

Christy reacted quickly, though her hand was held by the bodyguard, she also managed to grab Cindy’s hair.

As long as Cindy didn’t let go, Christy could tear her hair out.

“Who are you? It’s none of your business if I discipline my daughter!” Christy screamed.

“Cindy is our young madam of the Zhekova family, and we won’t allow anyone to hurt her.” The bodyguard said coldly.

“Pah!” Christy spat, “This is our family’s business, I discipline my daughters, none of your concern! Their sisters quarreling is also our family’s business. Who do you think you are, meddling in our affairs!”

Christy could tell from the bodyguard calling Cindy “young madam” repeatedly that he was probably not a Zhekova Family servant but a bodyguard.

They were all hired by the Zhekova family, even daring to scold her like this.

The bodyguard didn’t want to waste any more time with Christy Xenos, so he simply pressed a finger onto her wrist.

Christy felt her entire arm go numb, completely unable to use any strength.

Her hand holding Cindy’s hair unconsciously loosened.

Christy was frightened when she felt her arm go numb, even more terrified than when she was in pain.

Christy screamed immediately, “Ah! Let go! Release me! Let me go! Release me now!”

The bodyguard ignored her. The other two bodyguards stood on either side of Cindy, in a protective stance.

One of them asked, “Young Madam, what’s the situation here? What do you want to do? Don’t worry about taking care of it yourself, just leave it to us.”

They didn’t intend to pull Cindy away from the fight; even now, she had the upper hand.

If Wendy wanted to fight back, they would immediately intervene.

Christy became furious when she realized the bodyguards not only would not intervene, but were going to help Cindy against family members instead.

Without holding back, she yelled, “Cindy, is this how you treat your own family? We’re your relatives! Your birth parents and sister, and yet you bully us like this, do you have a conscience?”

Cindy then let go of Wendy.

Releasing Wendy, she was caught totally off guard.

Wendy had been straining to pull away from Cindy’s grasp earlier.

Now that Cindy suddenly let go, Wendy fell backward with no one to stop her.

Wendy landed on her butt on the ground with a thump.

Previously, one of her legs was already inside the entrance, now collapsing, the leg fell directly onto the doorstep.

The pain in Wendy’s calf twitched, and the bones under her bottom ached terribly.

It felt as if she had split right down the middle.

Though Wendy was wearing a coat, her legs were only covered by a pair of pants, not as thickly dressed as her upper body with both a sweater and coat.

Thus, there was no cushion when she fell, and the pain caused her eyes to well up with tears.

Oddly enough, the two bodyguards shifted in front of Cindy as if Wendy, now sitting on the ground, was still a threat to Cindy.

One of the bodyguards even turned around with concern and asked, “Young Madam, are you hurt?”

After speaking, he glared at Christy Xenos.

Christy hitting Cindy earlier was all seen by them.

Though they had come immediately, Christy still managed to hit Cindy a few times.

They failed to protect her.

They never thought Christy would dare to hit Cindy at the entrance of the Zhekova Family Mansion.

They had overestimated Christy; next time, they wouldn’t dare to let Christy have her way and would follow Cindy wherever she went.

Christy looked at the three tall and sturdy bodyguards in front of her and began to falter.

She pointed at Cindy and shouted, “You unfilial thing! What are you doing? How can you raise your hand against your own family? Don’t you have a heart? You have the nerve to hit your sister, so why don’t you hit me? Hit me, hit me!”

Christy pressed her face towards Cindy and said, “Strike your own mother if you have the guts! I gave birth to you after ten months of suffering, and now you’re an unfilial thing bullying your family!”

“What? You don’t dare strike me yourself, and you want the bodyguards to do it? The bodyguard touched me just now, and you just stood by and watched! I’ll kill you, you damn thing!”

Christy raised her hand again only to have it restrained by the bodyguard. Afraid the bodyguard would use force against her, she wailed loudly, “Cindy, let them hit me, you dare let them hit me!”

Another bodyguard asked Cindy, “Young Madam, what should we do now?”

Cindy pointed to Wendy and said, “Take her back; she said she has something to tell the elders, so let her say it clearly now.”

“I’m not going!” Wendy immediately dodged.

She didn’t know what Cindy planned, but if she wanted to be dragged in, it couldn’t be good.

Even if she had to reveal the truth, she needed to pick a time she felt was right and not allow Cindy to be in control.

“Wendy!” Christy Xenos ran over to help her up and whispered, “What does Cindy want to do?”

“This matter, will you say it or not?” Christy thought for a moment and said, “Why not just go along with Cindy’s plan? We’ll tell the Zhekova family the truth right now.”

“Cindy won’t get anything good!” Christy said viciously.

“I have my own plans,” Wendy whispered and looked at Cindy warily.

“Even if we have to reveal it, we’ll find a special occasion to make Cindy lose face!” Wendy stated.
