Chapter 822
'Apologize? I’d never apologize to someone who has no value to me!' Zachary thought angrily.
Diana's face swelled up from the blows.
Betty was scared, and started crying. She clung desperately to Diana and screamed repeatedly, "Mommy!
Mommy!"
Zachary was annoyed by her cries and snarled, "Stop crying! Let me tell you something! Without Mr. Fulcher, you
are nothing!"
'Not only that, she had the gall to bring back two illegitimate children! What a wasted trip! They're all bad luck!'
Betty's cries grew louder. She cried in a sharp and piercing voice.
'Mommy's getting hit! No!'
The little girl charged at Zachary without much thought, and attempted to bite him.
"Stop hitting Mommy! Stop!" Betty yelled, sinking her teeth into the old man.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA servant immediately intervened and pulled Betty away forcefully.
"No! No!" Betty was held tightly under the arm; no matter how much she kicked, the person refused to let go.
Being held upside down and crying so intensely, her face quickly turned red, and she kept coughing between sobs.
Seeing his sister and mother being treated roughly, Sean trembled in anger.
When Zachary wasn't paying attention, he grabbed a small knife and rushed fiercely toward him. Although it was a
toy knife, it still caused indescribable pain when it pierced the body.
Zachary clenched his teeth, and his eyes widened in disbelief. He never expected Diana and her two children to be
so bloodthirsty.
He raised his hand, ready to strike Sean. "You little b*stard! How dare you bite me!"
"Stop! Don't hit him!" Diana stepped forward, disregarding her fractured arm. She snatched Betty from the
servant's grasp and held her tightly in her arms.
But at that moment, she missed the opportunity to pick up the nearby chair and throw it at Zachary.
All she could do was watch helplessly as his crutch came down towards Sean.
No! She couldn’t let him touch her children!
The pain in her arm was intense, so much that her face turned pale from it. But she endured the pain, not making a
sound. She held Betty tightly in her arms and quickly ran towards Sean.
Before Zachary's crutch could hit, she shielded her children.
Bang!
The sound of a heavy blow echoed in everyone's ears.
"Waaah!" Even the usually calm Sean burst into tears.
Betty, already pale with fright, couldn't even make a sound. Her eyes widened as she stared at Diana, whose
forehead was dripping with sweat.
It hurt.
Her injuries hadn't fully healed yet, and she couldn't even take her antibiotics. Facing this turmoil, she could feel her
body shutting down. Everything hurt.
"Shh, don't cry. It's okay." Holding back her tears, she safely returned the two children to the bedroom.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Don't be afraid, Betty," Diana said. Then she turned to Sean. "Sean, take care of your sister. No matter what you
hear outside, don't come out."
With that, she locked the bedroom door with a click. She stood firmly in front of it and eyed Zachary warily.
Sean had stabbed Zachary with a toy knife, though the old man wasn't seriously injured. However, having lived a
pampered life and now hearing Diana say that she had produced two illegitimate children and had offended Julian,
his fury soared even higher.
With nothing holding him back, he grew ruthless. He wanted to punish that rude little brat and vent his anger.
The situation had escalated to a point where a peaceful resolution was no longer possible. Nevertheless, Diana
stood before the door, refusing to budge an inch.
"Children need to be disciplined!" Zachary sneered. His old age showed on his face, covered in age spots. His
benevolence vanished from his eyes, leaving behind only ugliness.
"Give him to me and let me teach him how to respect his elders, and I'll forgive him!"
'Respect his elders? If it weren’t because I needed to protect my babies, I would’ve grabbed something to smash
his head with and fought him head-on!'
