Countdown to My Divorce

Her Exit 394

Howard pointed at Tyler, who sat there like he couldn’t care less. “Tyler, you’ve got guts. Just your wait!”

Tyler smirked and lifted his chin a little. “Oh, I’ve got guts, alright. As for you, well, that’s up for debate.”

Howard was so furious that he clenched his jaw. He shook his uninjured hand threateningly as he stormed out of the restaurant.

Whispers of admiration came pouring in.

“Damn, that girl was badass. Did you see that move? So cool!”

“I know Howard Ziegler. He’s one of the most arrogant, fearless heirs in the city. Even other rich kids who can’t stand him usually just back off. No one wants to mess with his family. With his grandfather’s background, who would dare?”

“Exactly.”

“But did you see how she just locked up his wrist? I didn’t even catch the movement before hearing the sound of bones cracking! If it were me, I’d be screaming too.”

“Mommy, that lady was amazing! I wanna learn martial arts so I can fight bad guys too!”

“Yes, that’s wonderful. I’ve always said girls need to learn how to protect themselves. What if something bad happens and we’re not around?”

Cecilia took it all in. Her eyes were full of admiration as she turned to Rachel. “Rachel, you were incredible just now! When did you learn that move?”
