Claire might have the looks of a goddess, the body of a succubus and the voice of a nightingale.
However, Alex knew well that virtual-novel.net was just a crazy b*tch with human skin. She would bite you for absolutely no reason, let alone having virtual-novel.net makeup ruined by being splashed with a bucket of water.
She shouted in anger and raised an arm, swinging virtual-novel.net hand towards Emma’s face. A crazy b*tch’s attack really was something else. When Claire swung virtual-novel.net hand, virtual-novel.net fingers were slightly curled.
Slash!
Three bloody incisions landed on Emma’s face. Emma dropped the bucket and touched virtual-novel.net face only to find virtual-novel.net hand covered in blood. Just then, virtual-novel.net snapped and started screaming and shouting like a lunatic. “You bitch! How dare you scratch my face? Die!”
Emma lunged towards Claire, causing both Dorothy and Beatrice to worry. Just as they were about to help their mother, Claire unexpectedly raised a leg and kicked Emma in the gut harshly.
Emma fell to the ground, unable to get up due to the pain.
Alex and both Assex sisters were shocked. Beatrice turned to virtual-novel.net sister. “When did Mom become so strong?”
Claire placed virtual-novel.net hands on virtual-novel.net hips and scolded. “You little brat! Do you really think I’m some weakling? Back then, you still had that old bag… that old lady to back you up, but she’s dead now! How dare you continue to bully my family? Listen up twerp, I, Claire Bardot, am pretty hot tempered too.”
Alex finally understood why. Claire was like a spring coil, the more virtual-novel.net was suppressed, the more virtual-novel.net would bounce back.
Claire had been suppressing virtual-novel.net negative feelings because of the old Assex lady. Now that Joanne had passed, virtual-novel.net was free from virtual-novel.net restraints. Like a caged bird, virtual-novel.net was able to spread virtual-novel.net wings and fly now. However, this didn’t last long.
In just a few minutes, a group of more than ten security guards that worked for the Assexes rushed over. They were all wearing a black uniform and holding onto a black rubber bat, emitting an intensely terrifying aura.
This made Claire tremble with fear and hid behind Alex.
“Alex, this escalated way too quickly, you have to protect me.”
Alex was speechless.
‘Something must’ve gone wrong when your mother gave birth to you.’
“Alex, Dorothy, both of you have crossed the line! We’re holding my mother‘s memorial, yet here you are trying to ruin it! Can you be any more inhumane?”
Anderson came out of the hall and helped his daughter up, visibly enraged.
Alex didn’t want to waste any energy arguing with him. If it weren’t for Dorothy, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have attended this memorial at all. The old lady used to insult him, giving virtual-novel.net hell for no reason. She just wanted to get rid of him.
Hence, to Alex, virtual-novel.net didn’t deserve his condolences. He was just here to accompany his wife. He’s nothing more than a spectator.
Dorothy spoke up. “We’re just here to send Grandma off, not to ruin anything. But your daughter just splashed a full bucket of water onto my mom! Aren’t you the ones who are inhumane?”
Anderson huffed. “We Assexes don’t have ungrateful pieces of sh*theads like you in our family! Get lost!”
The commotion had formed a crowd around them. The Assex family was a family of high status after all.
When Assex Constructions was at its prime, they were able to be in the upper middle class. Many relatives, neighbours and business partners had arrived at the memorial hall just to give their condolences to the old lady. The hall was extremely crowded as there were at least a hundred people.
At that moment, half of these people had come out to check out the commotion.
Under the Assexes influence, some started insulting Claire and virtual-novel.net family, spreading more rumours among the crowd.
“Oh, so she’s Henry’s wife? I heard this woman is a homewrecker, virtual-novel.net hooks up with other men all the time. That’s why virtual-novel.net husband couldn’t take it and ran off with someone else.”
“I heard virtual-novel.net doesn’t have a proper job too, all virtual-novel.net knows is to seduce men.”
“The three women in this family look amazing though. Do you think they’d be… With virtual-novel.net son-in-law?”
“I also heard that the old lady was killed by that homewrecker! She found a guy in the mafia to beat virtual-novel.net mother-in-law to death! She must’ve hooked up with that mafia guy for virtual-novel.net to help virtual-novel.net like that.”
The insults and lewd comments became worse by the second.
Some men started staring at the three with a sly smirk on their faces as well.
Claire felt as if virtual-novel.net was about to explode.
She yelled. “You idiots! Are you brain dead? How could you believe everything they say? Why don’t you ask Benny Assex how the old lady died? They borrowed money from loan sharks to hire assassins to kill us! Now that they can’t pay back their loans and they killed their own mother because of their foolishness! Hey, Benny Assex, how could you face your mother knowing that you killed her? She won’t ever rest in peace like this!”
Benny fumed. “Capture them and tie them up.”
Just then, a group of people in mourning clothes rushed into the hall.
No one paid much attention to them at first.
