Maelis said, “Zinnia, I never should have taken you back! Look how you’ve ruined our family!” She stormed toward Zinnia, raising her hand to strike.

“Mom!” the three Shaw brothers gasped in unison.

However, Zinnia intercepted Maelis’s hand and shoved her back hard. Last time, Zinnia had been caught off guard by Maelis’s cruelty and nearly got hit.

But now, seeing that ferocious look on Maelis’s face, Zinnia was determined not to let Maelis lay a hand on her.

Zinnia thought, ‘My Master never laid a hand on me growing up. What right does this outsider have to hit me?‘

Maelis stumbled back two steps, nearly falling before Howard caught her. Her bloodshot eyes glared at Zinnia with resentment. She never expected Zinnia would dare fight back.

Yosef frowned at Zinnia and said, “Zinnia, even if Mom was out of line, you shouldn’t have pushed her like that. She’s getting on in years. What if Howard hadn’t caught her? What if she’d fallen?”

Zinnia shot Yosef a cold glance, her clear eyes flashing with defiance. She snapped, “Should I just stand there and take the hit? It’s easy for you to talk when you’re not the one getting slapped.”

Yosef was left speechless. He never expected Zinnia to speak to him with such blunt disrespect.

Zinnia took two deliberate steps back, putting clear distance between herself and the rest of them.

Maelis steadied herself, her bloodshot eyes burning with anger. Her voice was razor–sharp with fury as she asked, “Zinnia, do you still want me as your mother or not?”

“No, I don’t,” Zinnia shot back without hesitation.
