The moment she finished screaming insults, Rona Langdon lunged at Vera Xavier. Vera, having anticipated this, sidestepped, bent her knees, grabbed Rona's hand, and executed a perfect shoulder throw. With a loud THUD, Rona's hefty frame slammed onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Rona Langdon was stunned by the fall. She truly hadn't expected Vera to actually fight back!
Vera looked down at Rona and said, "Today is just the beginning. If you dare lay a hand on me again, don't blame me for getting rough."
'Ever since she'd learned Rona Langdon wasn't her birth mother, she had longed to slap her. In her past life, Rona had tormented her into misery. She knew with certainty that no matter what she did, Rona would never treat her well. That being the case, she had to be the one to strike first in this life.'
'But Rona was still publicly her mother. If she, the daughter, struck first, she'd not only be in the wrong, but it would also ruin her reputation.'
