Dumping 26
Irene's face showed no fear. Sharon had told her not to be scared when facing difficulties but to think of solutions The previous night, she had made a fos. Although Edwin was annoyed, he had still soothed her, so she had not escalared the situation.
But today was different. Not only had Tina been rough with her, but Jasmine was trying to stop Sharon from taking her away, and Irene couldn't stand it anymore.
"If you don't let me go, Til smash everything in this room," she declared and shattered the vase she was holding without hesitation
The sound of breaking glass seemed to shatter Jasmine's heart as well. "This is outrageous!" she cried out, clutching her chest. "Quick, someone! Catch her and hold her down.
Myra tried to grab trene, but Irene struggled free.
Angered by trene's act. Tina gritted her teeth and lunged at
Irene coughed hard, unable to catch her breath
Tina raised her hand and was about to hit Irene.
"Everybody, see this? I'm being abused, trene suddenly yelled out
linle brat, I'll teach you a good lesson she said, pinning Irene against the wall
Tina froze at her words, and upon looking up, she saw herself reflected in Irene's phone screen, a twisted, angry expression painted across her face. She couldn't believe that the fierce Image in the phone was her own
"Oh my, she's hitting the little girl
"Call the cops, now!"
"You bitch, let her go?
"Trene, tell us the address. We're coming to save you."
Tina's vision blurred as she read the comments streaming across the phone's screen. She finally realized the gravity of the situation. You... you're live streaming?".
She thought frene had only activated the camera feature and planned to take the phone away, but now she felt all energy drain from her, her head buzzing. 'So the outsiders saw my twisted expression just now as well? she thought with horror.
Taking advantage of Tina's shock, Irene managed to break free and started crying into the camera, "Mommy! I want my mommy. Please, someone, help me. I'm being kept at home by my grandma and my aunt. The address is...
While Jasmine didn't understand live streaming, she knew something was off and quickly snatched the phone from Irene, ending the broadcast She fought to catch her breath. Sharon is so malicious. She's taught Irene to be so wicked in just a few days, she cursed inwardly.
this had nothing to do with Sharon. The live streaming account had been set up for Irene by Rocky. Irene often sang and danced on it, her intelligence and cuteness earning her a big following
"At least they don't have our home address from that bastard Tina said with relict. Even though she looked downright terrifying just now, she couldn't even recognize herself, so she figured no one else could either.
Then, Tina mushed at Irense with a regained malice. "How dare you bastard play these tricks? 1 will not let you get away with this?
As she raised her hand, Fred burst into the room. "Bad news..." But before he could finish officers in uniform swiftly entered and restrained Tina
Jasmine and Tina were shocked, their eyes wide with surprise.
"What do you mean?" Jasmine gasped after a moment. "That's my daughter, and the child is my granddaughter. We were merely disciplining the
child"
"Disciplining? Three thousand people just saw Irene being abused. Sharon stepped from behind, holding up her phone.
Her eyes were red, brimming with tears. Having witnessed Tina harming Irene live on the stream, she looked both furious and heartbroken. She moved closer step by step, her gaze dark and cold. Feeling guilty, Tina wanted to back away, but with her lunds cuffed behind her, she was powerless
Sharon couldn't control her emotions and grabbed Tina by the collar, holding on tight. "Had it been me slapping you twice, would that be considered disciplining my former sister-in-lawt Abuse is abuse, regardless of the intent, it's illegal" II Myra hadn't been holding her back, she might have hit Tina.
difficult, Myra tried to calm her. "Ms. Cress, you should check on the child first."
Only then did Sharon release Tina.
"Mommy" frene ran into her arms, unsettled by the fierce way Sharon had looked at Tina. But she knew Sharon did it to protect her.
Sharon hugged Irene tightly. Seeing the bruises on her little face made Sharon heartbroken. She silently swore never to let Irene have any contact with the Stanley family again.
As Sharon made to leave with Irene. Jasmine quickly blocked her path. "Officer, this is really a family matter. Although the child's aunt may have been a bit impulsive, it's only because the child was being unreasonable, breaking two vases worth 4 million dollars on a whim. We can handle this
ourselves."
The officers looked back and forth between Jasmine and Sharon Technically, it was a family matter. But without Sharon's consent, they couldn't
just leave.
Sensing their hesitation, Jasmine approached Sharon. "Let's talk"
Sharon was reluctant to let go of Irene.
Seeing this, Myra came forward. "Til hold Irene for you. You should talk to Mrs. Stanley."
While rumors said Sharon was close to the Bisney Entertainment bass these days, no one could predict the future. She figured it would be wiser for Sharon not to provoke the Stanley family at this juncture. Sharon saw through Myra's mind and walked with Jasmine to the side hall
"We'll cover the damages in full," Sharon said as they entered the side hall.
Jasmine let out a snort, her eyes full of reproach when she looked at Sharon. "Is this how you reach your child? Smashing things worth millions of
dollars without a second thought? We are her grandmother and aunt, yet she broadcasts it without a care. A child raised like that won't become decent in society Sharon, this proves you can't teach her. With you. Irene will only get worse. Better to make the right plan for her now than to regret it later."
"You mean to keep her with the Stanley family, don't you?" Sharon cut straight to the point...
Jasmine's silence affirmed her stance.
Sharon sneered. "Yeah, Irene's behavior was wrong, but why did she act out? She arrived yesterday. Why no fuss then, only today? The bruises I saw on her are from being hit, right? What did you expect? Do you think she should just accept it and stay silent
Jasmine was at a loss for words. She frowned and finally decided to look Sharon in the eye. She's changed so much since the divorce. What's going on?" Jasmine thought
"What do you mean being hit? Tina is her aunt; she must educate Irene for any wrongdoing," Jasmine retoried. "This wouldn't have escalated without your drama. Don't think that using a live stream to pressure me will make me give up custody. That's impossible. Listen, Sharon, if you insist on taking Irene, I won't hold back about how you're leading her astray. The boss of Bisney Entertainment isn't just anyone; he values education more than most. Do you think he'd want a woman who teaches her child extreme measures to be his wife?"
Sharon couldn't deny that Jasmine had a way of twisting facts and threatening. If Sharon was really attached to some man, she would certainly be afraid.
"Grandma, please don't blame Mommy. The livestream was all my idea; Mommy had nothing to do with it Irene suddenly ran in, standing protectively in front of Sharon. "Our teacher says we must resist when something is unfair, even if an adult does it. It's not right for you and Aunt Tina to lock me up and keep me from seeing Mommy"
Sharon felt a surge of warmth at Irene's show of support, and she crouched down to pat Irene's shoulder. "Irene, don't worry. I'll take you home once I finish talking with your grandma. Wait with Myra for a little bit, okay?"
Irene seemed worried but obediently left the room.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"How much money will it take for you to give up Irene?" Jasmine tried the same tactic again.
