章 27: Slap Back

"How dare you show your face here! After everything you've done... you were the one who assured everyone that you would be there for your grandmother and now, when she needed you, you were not here. What a useless man you are. All you attitude about being above us because we are apparently after her money have come across have they not? Don't think that you can have control of everything now that your grandmother is dead! I will never..."

Serena stilled as she heard the woman blabber on and blame Aiden and speak that Grandma was dead when they knew for sure she wasn't. Serena, who had been watching in silent disbelief, couldn't contain her outrage any longer. As the woman raised her hand again, to strike him once more

But Serena's reflexes were swifter and decisive. With a loud, cracking sound, Serena's hand met the woman's wrist mid-air, halting the slap in its tracks.
