Chapter 30
"Elvira, as a family, we should care for each other. You should bail Stacy out quickly." Judy said flatly but with a hint of gloating in her voice..
"Go to the police station now!" Karen threatened Elvira fiercely. "I would have treated you equally if you were half as sensible as Judy," she said coldly. "Stacy Willis was arrested for breaking the law. It's none of my business, and I don't have time for your nonsense today!" Elvira turned around to leave. Elvira turned around to see a group of four bodyguards approaching her slowly. She glared at them before turning back to the three women with her. "What's going on here?" she asked, her voice sharp and firm. "Are you planning to beat me up right here and now?"
"I feel like I have been too kind to you in the past, and that's why you dared to behave recklessly while I was away. Firstly, you went ahead and got married without informing me. Secondly, I heard you were involved in setting up Amber and Stacy. Today, I need to teach you a lesson so you'll learn!" Karen declared with authority as she gestured to her bodyguards to apprehend Elvira.
Elvira had practiced martial arts secretly for three years while living in the countryside, She was confident in taking on Perry Bacchus, but fighting four professional bodyguards could prove problematic. Additionally, she was feeling weak due to her period and menstrual cramps, which put her at a significant disadvantage. Despite her training, she knew that the odds were against her,
After weighing the consequences, Elvira said, "Hold it! I'll leave with you quietly. You can't just grab and take me away, right? There are way too many people around in the hospital. Let's go!"
"I doubt you dare to do anything anyway," said Karen as she turned to leave.
Amber and Judy appeared uneasy and anxious. Since Karen had been away, she was unaware of how difficult it was to deal with Elvira. They had experienced it multiple times, particularly Amber, who had been deceived into having a one-night stand with Perry Bacchus, but she didn't dare to inform Karen about it. So, Amber was determined to get rid of Elvira once she agreed to return to the Willis Family
"Mom, we should keep an eye on her. She's..." Amber said. However, before she could finish, Elvira suddenly spun around and lunged at Judy, who was nearest.
In a matter of seconds, Elvira had Judy in a tight chokehold. In her hand, a sharp can lid glinted menacingly against Judy's delicate face, threatening to cause harm. The commotion made everyone gasp in shock.
The bodyguards were caught off guard and realized too late that something had gone wrong.
"Don't move! Otherwise, I am going to ruin her face!" Elvira dragged Judy along as she backed away from the
group.
Amber screamed in shock, "Elviral Let go of my daughter!TM
Karen was caught off guard by the commotion that Elvira had caused before her. She remembered Elvira as a docile and obedient person at home, so the sudden outburst surprised her. "Elvira, how dare you! Let go of Judy right now!" Karen shouted furiously, her hand trembling as she pointed at her. Feeling anxious about Elvira ruining her face, Judy stood frozen and screamed, "Help me!"
Judy had always dreamed of being a top star and had been waiting for the release of her movie that could catapult her popularity. If her face was scarred, it could derail all her efforts and jeopardize her chances of stardom
Judy was on the verge of tears as she felt the rough edge of the can lid scrape against her cheek. Every movement Elvira made caused the sharp metal to dig into her skin, leaving a trail of pain behind it.
'Send your bodyguards away. If not, I'll ruin her face. You can try me!" Elvira threatened coldly.
Karen was fixated on her once meek and compliant Elvira, her face etched with a serious expression. On the other hand, Amber was worried about Judy getting injured. Feeling anxious that Karen was unaware of Elvira's craziness, she pleaded, "Mom, please do what Elvira says. Don't let her hurt Judy!" She then turned to the bodyguards and urged them to leave.
None of the bodyguards moved as they would only take orders from Karen.
Karen's hands were visibly tense. Her knuckles were tightly clenched, and her nails dug into her palms. Elvira's sudden change in temperament took Karen by surprise. It seemed like Elvira had transformed into a different person after her breakup with Calvin Kennedy. Karen's gaze lingered on Judy, the granddaughter she had always doted on. She couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to her, so she didn't dare to take any chances. "Stand down, all four of you!" she ordered.
The bodyguards immediately retreated upon instructions.
"Can you release Judy now?" Karen asked, still glaring coldly at Elvira.
"Of course not," Elvira said. "Judy will stay with me for a while more." She kept moving backward while holding onto Judy.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Karen's eyebrows furrowed, and her lips pressed together sternly. Beside her, Amber was on the verge of crying, worried for Judy's safety.
Elvira took a few more steps back, keeping her distance and creating more space between them. She then pushed Judy away and quickly ran in the opposite direction.
Amber lunged forward and caught her daughter just in time. Judy's face was pale as a ghost, and tears streamed down her cheeks. She reached up to touch her face, feeling a stinging sensation. "Mom, is my face alright?" she asked, her voice trembling with worry. Amber quickly examined her daughter's face, checking for any signs of injury. After a few moments, she let out a sigh of relief. "You're okay, sweetie,' she said, reassuring Judy. "It's just a little scratch. It should heal in a few days."
Karen's face contorted with anger and frustration. After ensuring Judy was safe, she turned to her bodyguards and barked out her orders in a cold, steely voice. "Summon more help, she commanded, her voice barely containing her rage. "Find that wretched girl and bring her to me by the end of today!"
"Yes, Mrs. Willis!" Karen's bodyguards acknowledged her order and immediately chased after Elvira in the direction she fled. "That was so scary! How could Elvira be so mean? I'm done for if she really messed up my face. Judy cried as she hugged Karen tightly. Til deal with that wretched girl later. But right now, let's head home and rest Karen felt terrible when she saw Judy crying, and her anger towards Elvira grew stronger as she spoke.
Amber and Judy felt exasperated and annoyed. With Karen and her bodyguards by their side, they thought taking Elvira back to the Willis's would be easy. However, things didn't go as planned, and Elvira managed to slip away from them again. Both of them realized that they had underestimated her abilities, and they silently vowed to approach future dealings with her more cautiously.
