Smack! The woman’s heavy slap knocked the young lady in front of her to the ground.

The young woman, pampered and held in high regard since childhood, had never been struck before. She was stunned for a few seconds before bursting into anger.

She covered her swollen cheek and shouted, “How dare you hit me? Do you have a death wish?! Do you know who I am?

I can make your life hell here in Zendonia!”

This young lady was from the Sackfield family, a family of jewelry merchants with considerable influence and wealth that rivaled that of the Shaws before their downfall.

However, Miss Sackfield was far less attractive and talented than Vicky and Gloria, so she had far fewer pursuers compared to them. As long as two Shaw ladies were around, other women paled in comparison.

Despite their popularity, both Vicky and Gloria unequivocally rejected all their pursuers, which only fuelled the hatred of many affluent young ladies toward them.

When the Shaws had gone bankrupt and fallen into ruin, and Gloria had left with the family overseas, Vicky was left behind. All of those who had once hated her seized the opportunity to bully her.

None of the young ladies expected someone to interfere and hit one of them instead.

The other young ladies chimed in, saying, “Kneel and apologize immediately. Slap yourself a hundred times on the face, and this matter can be considered settled.

Otherwise, your entire family will suffer with you!”

The woman showed no signs of fear on her face upon hearing the threats and smiled instead. “You young ladies sure have big mouths for your young age. You threaten to harm others’ families with such ease that I’m sure you’ve done this kind of thing quite often, haven’t you?”

With those words, she slapped another young lady to the ground.

Vicky was startled. She had no idea who the woman’s employer was, but offending the Sackfields alone was one thing-offending several other influential families would be a catastrophe!

Still, the woman showed no concern, and Vicky instantly realized that the woman’s employer must have a significant background.

Vicky could not fathom who in present-day Stoneford City would dare to be so audacious.

The downfall of the Shaw family and Harvey’s departure brought Stoneford City into a chaotic state, with major families wanting to take advantage of the situation. Many tried to curry favor with each other, so it seemed impossible that anyone would act recklessly to risk offending other powerful families at this critical time.

Unaware of Vicky’s thoughts, the woman kindly reminded her, “What are you dawdling for, Ms. Shaw? Strike back already.”

Vicky glanced at Miss Sackfield, who sat on the ground.

Miss Sackfield was already provoked by the slap, and her face instantly twisted with anger when she met Vicky’s eyes.

She glared at Vicky and said, “I’ll make your life a living hell if you lay your hands on me, Vicky Shaw!”

Vicky was hesitant at first but cast all hesitation aside upon hearing what Miss Sackfield said.

She walked over and slapped Miss Sackfield fiercely on the face.

Sometimes, being forgiving would only mean that others would feel more free to bully her at will. If stepping back did not help, Vicky saw no reason in putting up with her bullies.

Miss Sackfield was on the brink of losing her mind from being slapped and darted toward Vicky hysterically. “Vicky Shaw, I’m going to kill you!”
