Chapter 225 Beat Shonna
Shonna was no match for Amber, who had a “weapon” in her hand. She soon couldn’t bear the lashing and started shrieking, trying to dodge.
Amber didn’t stop. Instead, she hit her even harder, as if she wanted to vent all the pent-up grudges she had held against Shonna over the past six years.
As she slapped, she sneered, “So what if I hit you? Who says that I can’t hit you? Do you think you are still my mother-in-law? Let me tell you, you are nobody now. You are just a crazy woman. I am just beating a crazy woman.”
“Bitch… Ouch…” Shonna was trembling with anger.
The moment she paused, Amber hit her calf, causing her to jump in pain.
In the end, Shonna was begging her loudly to stop.
Amber was a little tired. Seeing that Shonna was beaten by her, she knew that it was almost time to stop. So she stopped and held on to the shoe cabinet, gasping.
Shonna didn’t expect Amber to be so tough to deal with and Amber even dared beat her. For a moment, she regretted coming here.
At that time, the elevator in the corridor opened.
Logan came out and saw Amber and Shonna at the door. His eyes lit up and he said, “Amber. Mom.”
Amber glanced at him indifferently, ignoring him.
Shonna was jealous.
His son called Amber first instead of his mother?
Amber, that little bitch really rubbed her up the wrong way.
“Mom, didn’t I tell you not to come over? You…”
While speaking, Logan finally realized that something was wrong with Shonna. He exclaimed in surprise, “Mom, what’s wrong with your face? Why is it swollen?”
Shonna replied with a twisted face, “She beat me. Not only did she slap my face, but she also hit me with a feather duster. Look.”
She pulled up her sleeves to show him the bruises on her arms, which were shocking.
Logan gaped at this and, in disbelief, turned to the woman leaning lazily against the shoe cabinet. “Amber, did you… you really hit my mother?”
“Yes, she did!” Before Amber could reply, Shonna said discontentedly.
Logan ignored her and continued to look at Amber. “Amber, why did you hit my mother?”
Amber replied drily, “Your mother hit me. Why can’t I fight back?”
“Fight back?” Logan was surprised, but then he looked at Shonna and said, “Mom, did you hit Amber first?”
Shonna blinked her eyes guiltily, and then she raised her voice, “So what? She hurt your brother like this. Besides, I just slapped her once, but she lashed me a dozen times with a feather duster. Anyway, this is not over yet. I must call the police and sue her for intentional assault.”
She pointed to Amber’s nose.
Logan was anxious and quickly said to Amber, “Amber, please apologize to my mother.”
He didn’t want her to go to jail.
Amber looked at Logan with bewilderment. “Are you insane? Why should I apologize to your mother?”
Logan stamped his feet. “If you don’t apologize, my mother will sue you. At that time, you will…”
“Oh? So you’re worried about me?” Amber raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man playfully.
Logan blushed and looked elsewhere. “I… I’m not worried about you. Anyway, you should apologize to my mother, or she will call the police.”
Amber crossed her arms and chuckled. “Do you think your mother will let me off even if I apologize?”
Hearing that, Shonna snorted proudly. “You know that!”
Logan was dumbfounded. Only then did he understand how naïve he was.
That’s right. His mother hated Amber so much. She would not give up the idea of calling the police just because she apologized?
What should he do?
Logan clenched his fists. He couldn’t come up with any resolution.
Although he was tall and strong, he was just an immature teenager. When he encountered some big trouble, he was in a mess and did not know what to do.
Amber found it funny.
But that was quite adorable as well.
It was hard to believe that he was the son of Shonna, a vulgar woman.
“Well, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to call the police.” Amber covered her mouth and yawned as she mumbled.
Logan’s eyes lit up and he immediately looked at her.
Did Amber have a solution?
Shonna pursed her lips disdainfully. “It’s not up to you. Do you think you can stop me?”
“I won’t stop you. On the contrary, you can call the police at any time. But I wonder whether the police are going to arrest me, or you.” Amber said with a smile.
Looking at her smile, Shonna somewhat had goosebumps. “What… what do you mean?”
“It’s very simple. First of all, you came to me and attacked me, so I can totally charge you for breaking into my house and using violence against me. So, I fought back for self-defense. Believe it or not, I’ll be released and you will be detained.” Amber spread out her hands.
Shonna’s heart skipped a beat, and she no longer sounded self-righteous. In panic, she stammered, “Stop… stop bluffing. How is that possible?”
“Then you can have a try.” Amber made a gesture of invitation.
Logan quickly grabbed Shonna’s arm and persuaded her, “Mom, don’t. What if it’s true…?”
If Amber was telling the truth, his mother would be arrested.
He didn’t want Amber to be arrested, but he didn’t want his mother to be arrested either. So it was better to end this now.
In fact, Shonna was also afraid, but for the sake of her pride, she couldn’t just let it go like this. After thinking for a while, she snorted, “You want me to try, and I should listen to you? Who do you think you are?”
Amber knew that she was giving herself an out, so she rolled her eyes. “That’s up to you. But I want to know why you’re here.”
“You’ve got the nerves to ask!” Mentioning that, Shonna’s face turned fierce-looking again. She glowered at Amber as if she wanted to split her up. “It’s all your fault that Jared got into a car accident. You are a jinx!”
As she spoke, she was about to slap Amber again.
Amber narrowed her eyes and picked up the feather duster again. “What? You want to be hit again?”
She looked at Shonna coldly.
Shonna met her eyes and shivered. She felt that her body was hurting again. She did not dare slap her and just halted on spot.
Logan, who was about to stop Shonna, withdrew his hand and looked at Amber with admiration.
Amber was amazing.
His bad-tempered and impossible mother had been subdued by Amber, which was very surprising.
“Very well.” Amber spoke fiddling with the duster. “Since you are calm now, please explain to me. You just said that I caused Jared’s car accident. Where’s the evidence? If there’s no evidence, I can sue you for slander.”
“What evidence do I need? The car accident happened near Kelsington Bay. You must have called him here deliberately and wanted to hurt him.” Shonna pointed at her nose.
“Mom, don’t talk nonsense.” Logan wanted to pull her hand down.
Shonna pushed him away and continued to point.
Amber’s expression turned cold and she raised the feather duster.
When Shonna saw it, she immediately withdrew her hand.
Amber raised her eyebrows playfully.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
It seemed that she had just taught her a lesson, which scared her a lot. Shonna even had a conditioned reflex.
