The boy's defiance made his mother's expression even fouler. She raised her hand to strike him again, her strength so great she even broke free from the staff members restraining her.
Just as the boy was about to be viciously beaten again, Lu Xia could no longer stand by and shouted, "Graces, control her!"
The words had barely left her lips when Graces moved, pulling the woman away.
As if she never imagined someone would actually dare to lay a hand on her, the woman shrieked, "How dare you! Do you have any idea who I am? How dare you treat me this way! You're done for! A male hitting a female… I'll report you! I'll have you thrown in prison…"
Lu Xia strode forward and slapped the woman across the face. Her voice died abruptly. "Who the hell do you think you are, threatening to have my man thrown in prison? Faced with a situation like this, is this how you staff members respond?"
