Chapter 143

Megan hadn’t even had a chance to react when her stomach slammed into the chair beside her. The pain was so intense that she instantly doubled over.

Rence was still furious and charged at Megan, throwing punches and kicks without holding back.

Renee yelled, “You bitch! You want to throw hands? I’ll show you what happens when you mess with me!”

Megan felt her vision blur, everything turning black, and something warm slowly trickling down her leg. ‘What…?‘ she thought, but before she could react, the darkness took over.

She just passed out.

Blake hurried upstairs with the first aid kit, only to catch the whole scene unfolding.

He quickly pulled Renee back, and when he spotted the blood streaking down Megan’s leg, his face went white. “She’s pregnant. I’m calling an ambulance.”

“No! Don’t call!” Renee snapped, fury written all over her face.

Renee stamped her foot, shouting, “I said don’t call! Let her suffer–she’s just scum. I don’t believe Yolanda would ever go against me for someone like that. You have no idea, I hit one of the kids she cared about before, and she didn’t even have the guts to stand up to me. Some people are born beneath us—nothing but animals, nothing but ants, destined to be stomped on!”

Blake’s eyes darted with a sudden emotion, unease twisting in his chest as memories crashed in. Years back, Renee had smacked his little brother–just a kid trying to beg for coins–so hard, the poor boy went deaf in one ear. I’ll never forget that day,‘ Blake thought. ‘How could anyone be so cruel?‘

Renee had been about fifteen then, done up like the queen bee of the school. Everywhere she went, a swarm of students tagged along, worshipping her every move. She acted like she owned the place.

She tossed a handful of hundred–dollar bills onto the ground, then coldly instructed Jasper Clark, her bodyguard, “I never want to see these disgusting beggars here again. Make sure they’re gone next time. They’ve totally ruined my mood for shopping.”

The bodyguard, clearly panicked, instantly grabbed Blake’s brother and hauled him off to the side.

Blake’s brother tried to crawl after the cash, but those other students only jeered at him, laughing and kicking the bills around like it was some kind of joke–a cruel chorus of mockery echoing down the street.

Renee joined in, her laugh ringing out, clear and bright like tinkling chimes.

They were all just kids back then, too young to tell right from wrong, caught up in herd mentality. Maybe they just wanted Renee’s approval, and that’s why they did such things.

After losing hearing in one ear, Blake’s little brother scraped up the scattered bills and bought a cake for Blake’s birthday.

But hardship haunted every corner of their lives.
