Chapter 7

“What? Are you gonna throw yourself in my…”

Bruce turned around in disdain, only to see a furious Joanna pouncing on him with her high heels in her hands like a lion cub. Before Bruce could know what had happened, he had been hit more than a dozen times.

“Why are you always so mean to me? What do I owe you? Huh? Why are you always so arrogant and full of shit!”

Bruce was so stunned that he forgot to fight back at all. He just stood up straight and took the hit.

All the years he had known Joanna, she had always been as timid as a lamb. She did not even dare to speak too loudly, let alone hit anyone with her

shoes.

But now, she was striking him with the high heels, which was simply unreal and surprising for Bruce.

“Stop that, woman! Don’t force me to fight back.”

Joanna ignored his threat and kicked it between his legs with all her might.

She was not the same weak, cowardly Joanna she used to be.

If anyone messed with her, she fought back.

“Ow!” Bruce was caught off guard and was kicked in the crotch. The pain coming from the most vulnerable part of him made his eyebrows twitch.

“How dare you kick me?”

“I’ll kick you again if you continue to offend me. We’d better stay out of each other’s way. Don’t think I’m afraid of you.”

Silently, Bruce fixed his eyes on Joanna in disbelief.

She had really changed a lot.

This woman changed from a lamb to a much wilder little beast.
