Josephine Hawthorne was hitting and cursing at Beatrice Hargrave, while Beatrice, just in her early twenties and still in her rebellious phase, would not sit idly by. Ignoring that Josephine was her elder, she dodged and struck back.
In an instant, the two women, one old and one young, got into a fight.
Henry Hargrave stood inside the bedroom door, his temple throbbing with anger, his face clouded with discontent as he shouted, "Stop it!"
Yet, the two women who were wrestling wouldn't listen. Josephine grabbed Beatrice's hair with one hand and swung the other down. Beatrice tilted her head to endure the pain, grabbing Josephine's wrist that was pulling her hair with one hand, intercepting her slap with the other, and then pulling her closer to bite her.
