Steve Burton's mother frowned as she listened to Olivia Foster's coarse language. Coldly, she said, "Take her out. Let her go back to her room and calm down by herself."
Upon hearing herself being kicked out, Olivia's anger escalated. Seizing the opportunity when Edward Woods wasn't paying attention, she grabbed a plate from the table and hurled it toward Maya Mitchell's head.
Having fought and made a scene for a long time, Olivia was already exhausted. The plate she threw, due to her lack of strength, didn't even reach Maya's face and fell onto the floor.
The plate shattered, and ceramic shards flew in every direction.
One of the shards flew straight toward Maya's face.
Steve was sitting right next to Maya. Without hesitation, he reached out instinctively and blocked the shard from hitting her face.
With the momentum, the ceramic shard pierced into Steve's palm.
Bright red blood trickled down the white ceramic shard, drip by drip.
