Joycelyn’s head was knocked to the side, and her fair skin immediately turned red where the slap had landed. She looked at Iris, her eyes moving from shock to anger, and finally settling into a deep, soul–crushing disappointment.
Without thinking, Joycelyn raised her hand and slapped Octavia across the face. “From now on, not a single cent of my money will go to you. Don’t push me–if you do, I’ll expose all your dirty little secrets!”
Octavia, caught off guard, quickly recovered. “How dare you hit me?” she shouted, her face twisted with fury, as she tried to retaliate. But Joycelyn grabbed her wrist and pushed her away with force.
Iris, worried, grabbed Octavia and scolded Joycelyn, “How could you hit Octavia? She’s your sister!”
Joycelyn sneered, “You hit me too, didn’t you? It’s only right for me to discipline your daughter.”
Iris‘ voice was cold, full of disdain. “What’s wrong with you, Joycelyn? Are you trying to drive me insane?”
Iris, usually mild–mannered, now glared at Joycelyn, her gaze sharp and accusing–as if Joycelyn were the one who was morally corrupt, the one in the wrong
By now, a crowd had gathered, some of them pulling out their phones to snap pictures.
In public, airing out her family’s dirty laundry like this was a huge blow to her pride, and everyone would judge her for it. But Joycelyn didn’t care. She immediately called security.
Aurelia and Selene, still worried, had turned back and saw the chaos. They rushed over.
“What’s going on? Why are you hitting her? Security! Security! Someone’s being assaulted!” Aurelia shouted as she ran to the security booth.
The security guard, having been on break, hadn’t noticed anything earlier. By the time he arrived, he immediately stopped Iris and Octavia.
“Where did these crazy people come from?” the guard demanded.
“We’re not crazy!” Octavia shouted, her voice shrill. “She’s my sister, and my mom was just trying to teach her a lesson. She shouldn’t be sleeping around with old men for money. We’re not crazy!”
As the crowd grew, the whispers started. People couldn’t help but notice Joycelyn’s fresh, natural beauty. Even without makeup, her elegance in simple office attire made her stand out.
But with Octavia’s accusations, people started looking at her with suspicion, as if trying to see her as the villain.
Joycelyn ignored them and called the police.
Octavia, seizing the opportunity, sneered, “Calling the police won’t cover up your hypocrisy and heartlessness!” Iris continued her tirade, calling Joycelyn cold–hearted and ungrateful, a girl who had no respect for her family.
Moments later, the police arrived.
Joycelyn remained composed, and when she saw the officers, she started speaking in a choked voice, trying to sound as innocent and wronged as possible, “She’s accusing me of being with old men, but I haven’t done anything.
“I think something happened to me without my knowledge, so I’m reporting it to clear things up, especially about what
