Titania looked down to see her daughter's expression. Ella was holding her legs while hiding at her back. She could see that Ella was on the verge of crying. Tears were threatening to fall from the corner of her eyes.
She saw it. Her daughter was scared of her Auntie.
'Is Zu Wan telling the truth? Are they hurting my daughter behind my back?'
All this time, Titania thought that her sister-in-law and her family were treating Ella so well. That's the reason she was leaving Ella in their care whenever she would go to work. She couldn't bring her or leave her in the house.
"How could you hurt my daughter?" Titania questioned her sister-in-law.
"What nonsense are you two spouting? Titania, is this how you will repay us for our kindness? My family and I are the ones taking care of that child when you are at work! This man and your child are liars!" Ella's Aunt denied Zu Wan's accusations.
Titania bent down to look at her daughter, Ella. She held her shoulders and asked her.
"Is it true, Ella? Are they hurting you? Since when? Tell mom… I will listen. Don't be afraid. Zu Wan and I are here for you. We will protect you." Titania wanted to hear the truth from her daughter. Ella never mentioned this to her.
If it was true then she would be mad at herself. She failed as a mother. She should be protecting her child, not throwing her in the den of wolves.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut she's afraid that she made a terrible mistake. A mistake of allowing her sister-in-law to take care of her daughter.
After a few moments of hesitation, Ella finally nodded her head, informing her mother that Zu Wan was telling the truth.
A rage of fury was awakened in Titania's heart when she learned the truth. Ella was not a liar. She believed her daughter's words.
Titania hugged Ella, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, Baby. Mom didn't know. I failed to protect you. Why didn't you tell me this?"
Ella also began crying in Titania's arms. She didn't want her mother to be sad.
"Stop this drama! Don't change the real issue here. My daughter is a victim here, not your daughter. Your boyfriend bullied my daughter by calling her Ugly and Chubby. According to her nanny, this man also raised his voice at her. This might cause emotional trauma to my daughter!" Ella's Aunt kept complaining, playing the victim role.
Titania wiped her tears as she stood up to face her arrogant and pretentious sister-in-law. Both Zu Wan and Titania were trying their best to hold their anger.
But Titania already reached her limits. They hurt her daughter and that was her bottom line. She raised her arm and slapped her sister-in-law on her face.
*Pak!*
Everyone was stupefied including the two guards.
"You! How could you?!" Ella's Aunt looked at Titania with rage. She was about to charge in and pull her hair when Zu Wan stepped in and shielded Titania.
"Guards! What are you doing? Teach them a lesson now! I want to slap this ungrateful bitch! Grab her!" Ella's Aunt ordered their two bodyguards.
The two bulky men moved forward to grab Titania. Titania stepped back, holding Ella in her arms. Zu Wan immediately caught the arm of one bodyguard who tried to catch Titania.
While Zu Wan was twisting the man of the first bodyguard, the other guard charged in, throwing a punch on Zu Wan's face. Zu Wan just tilted his head on the side, dodging the punch.
He raised his leg and kicked the other bodyguard on his stomach. He used a little bit of his strength on that kick so the bodyguard fell to the ground right away, writhing in pain.
The bodyguard he was holding tried to struggle against him. Zu Wan hit him on his neck to knock him down.
*Thud*
Another bodyguard fell to the ground, unconscious.
Lavenia started crying while her mom felt frightened since Zu Wan defeated their two bodyguards easily. Without further ado, she called the police, reporting Zu Wan for abuse.
Titania felt alarmed when her sister-in-law called the police. They were rich and influential. They could bend the truth and blame everything on Zu Wan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Don't be afraid…" Zu Wan mumbled seeing the fear in Titania's blue eyes.
Titania nodded her head and confronted her sister-in-law again.
"I will also sue you for abusing my daughter!" Titania said with her stern voice.
"Huh! As if you have money to pay for an attorney! Let's see who will win." Ella's Aunt mocked Titania.
Titania clenched her fists. It was true she had no money to hire an attorney. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law didn't give them a single cent to support Ella when her husband died. They were so cruel. Ella's Aunt manipulated everything and turned her grandparents against them.
"Do you think you can get away with this just because you are rich!" Titania said through her gritted teeth.
"Of course! Since we have power and money!" Ella's Aunt responded confidently.
Zu Wan narrowed his eyes on her. 'What power? You are just a cunning ordinary human. I can kill you in just one snap!'
If Zu Wan had the power right now, he would have burned her already to teach her a lesson. A slap was not enough to punish this woman who repeatedly abused Ella.
"What's the use of your wealth if you are already dead?" Zu Wan said, threatening Ella's Aunt.
Her eyes widened in horror. She hugged her daughter and stepped back as Zu Wan approached them.
"You! Are you a gangster?! I think you are a criminal! A-Are you planning to kill me?" Seeing the dark eyes of Zu Wan, Ella's Aunt felt like she was about to pee from fear. He looked frightening right now.
But even before Zu Wan could touch her, a stranger with emerald eyes suddenly appeared.
"I can get you an attorney if you want to file a complaint against her," Liam said, holding Zu Wan's in his shoulder.
