Roxanne knew that she was losing control of herself and that her actions might really cause her to end up getting arrested. However, she couldn’t care less. All the resentment she had been enduring for years could only be vented through slaps.
Yuliana was in a daze after the second slap. By then, the hotel security noticed that something was wrong. He approached them, seemingly to stop Roxanne’s actions. Just then, an onlooker called out, “Isn’t that Roxanne, the young mistress of the Farwell family?”
“Yes. I can’t believe it’s her! I didn’t expect her to have such an aggressive side!” “Hey, stop filming! There must be a reason why Roxanne slapped the woman. I bet she’s evil.”
Following a hushed exchange between the onlookers, the security personnel exchanged glances and hastened to obstruct the onlookers’ view. They didn’t dare to get too close, as the hostile aura emanating from the bodyguards was intimidating.
“Please calm down, Mrs. Farwell. There are a lot of people here, and we’re worried that it may affect your reputation,” urged the head of the security team. Although his reminder calmed her down a little, she continued fixing her cold gaze on Yuliana. Over the years, Yuliana had subjected her to various forms of bullying and humiliation.
Yuliana had also verbally abused Roxanne’s mother, claiming the latter was unworthy of love and inferior to Winnie. As if that wasn’t bad enough, when Roxanne’s mother fell seriously ill, Yuliana cursed her, wishing for her to die early.
Furthermore, Yuliana had also cut up several of Roxanne’s favorite outfits and burned all the classroom notes that she had worked hard on for many years.
To make matters worse, she had purposely spread baseless rumors about Roxanne having a miscarriage while they were still in school, resulting in Roxanne being regarded with disdain by her classmates. Yuliana never stopped bullying Roxanne.
In the end, she even threw away Roxanne’s mother’s belongings after the latter passed away. Back then, Roxanne did not have the chance to vent her anger. She could only suppress her hatred deep in her heart because Grant was biased toward Yuliana. Winnie also contributed to the bullying, and Yosef even resorted to physical violence.
Her entire family was devoid of conscience. Yuliana struggled to get up from the ground while gnashing her teeth in anger, but she did not dare to act rashly again. Instead, she picked up her phone to seek help.
Her husband, David Ramos, should be arriving soon. Roxanne remained calm as she waited to see how Yuliana would fight back.
“Honey, where are you? Hurry up and come over! I was beaten by someone!” Yuliana started weeping as if she had just suffered grievances. Roxanne was curious about the identity of Yuliana’s “honey” after witnessing the other woman’s poor acting.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Lucian arrived before David did. Linda could sense Roxanne’s anger before she left. Rationalizing that Yuliana was not to be underestimated, she decided to inform Lucian about what was happening.
Upon seeing the hatred in Roxanne’s eyes, he went straight to her and took her hand, expressing his concern for her well-being.
“Are you all right?” Lucian asked gently as he examined if Roxanne was hurt. The woman shook her head and replied, “Lucian, this is that amazing step-sister of mine, Yuliana.”
Lucian’s eyes narrowed into slits. It was clear that the mention of her name had triggered a deep-seated rage within him. Yuliana trembled with fear as she had never
been intimidated by someone’s glare before. “So, you are the one who bullied Roxanne for so many years?” he asked in an interrogating tone.
Scared out of her wits, Yuliana came to the realization of how foolish she was to return to Horington and challenge Roxanne..
