Sofia continued her tirade, her words getting harsher. She shouted, “You usually go to the supermarket in the morning, but today you went out at an unusual time.

“I found it odd, so I decided to keep an eye on you and followed you here. Sure enough, I caught you red–handed!

“Laura, no wonder you can’t have children. You’re too wild, completely ruined! You’re nothing but a shameless tramp. Any man who marries you is cursed!

“I feel so sorry for my son–working himself to death every day while you sit here laughing and drinking coffee with your lover, living the high life!”

Lewis’s brows furrowed deeply. His sharp voice cut through her rant. “Enough!”

Sofia trembled slightly at his icy tone, but she wasn’t one to back down. “What? Can’t take being called out for what you’ve done?”

Unable to stand up to Lewis, she shifted her aggression toward the weak Laura. “Let me teach you a lesson, you shameless woman!”

She raised her designer bag and swung it wildly at Laura.

Lewis pulled Laura behind him, blocking the attack with a raised arm and pushing Sofia back lightly in one smooth motion.

Sofia’s rage flared even higher as she couldn’t hit Laura. She deliberately dropped to the ground, shouting, “Help! Someone come look! I’m being attacked! You two cheating scumbags won’t end well!”

Unaware of the situation, people nearby began whispering among themselves, some even taking photos and videos. The situation spiraled into chaos.

Ignoring the risk of being hit again, Laura stepped forward to help Sofia up, saying gently, “Sofia, the ground is cold not good for your health. Let me help you up, okay?”

Sofia pushed Laura away, refusing to let her near. “Don’t touch me with your filthy hands! You disgust me! Matteo will be here any moment, and I’ll make sure he sees your true colors. You won’t fool him any longer, you vixen!”

As she finished speaking, Matteo arrived. He glared at Laura fiercely and snapped, “Laura, is this how you treat my mother?”

“I… I didn’t,” Laura said weakly.
