“Tiana, you bitch! What the hell are you doing?! I’m warning you! The Rhodes family can’t afford to go up against the Peck family!” Caroline shrieked.

Before she could finish, Tiana grabbed her arm and flung her with all her strength.

A piercing scream ripped through the room as Caroline’s arm was completely dislocated with a sickening crack. Still not satisfied, Tiana pounced on her and started punching her in the face without mercy.

Within seconds, Caroline’s face was mangled, covered in blood, and had deep scratches.

“You psycho! What did you do? You ruined my face! I’ll kill you! I swear I’ll kill you!” Caroline howled. She flew into a frenzy, but it was useless.

Tiana was not a pushover to begin with. Suddenly, she gripped Caroline’s spine with both hands and shattered her back with a snap.

In other words, her martial arts foundation was completely destroyed.

Upstairs, Liliana turned ghost-pale. She started shaking uncontrollably, horrified by how far things had gone. She never imagined it would turn out like this.

She was the Peck family’s darling heiress, and her aunt Caroline had been feared for decades. She was a savage with a terrifying reputation in Blumedale, never suffering a loss.

Yet, after being dragged into this mess, she was directly crippled.

Meanwhile, Gary, Leon, and several other rich kids and socialites from prominent families stood there frozen, chilled to the bone.

“What do we do? What are we going to do now? Andrew doesn’t even respect the Peck family!”

“Ms. Peck has caused trouble, big trouble. We should leave quickly before we get caught in the crossfire!”

“I told her not to mess with Andrew. She didn’t listen. Now look at this nightmare!”

The same spoiled brats who used to strut around like royalty were now ready to piss themselves.

Downstairs, Tiana was still not done. The rage in her heart burned hotter than ever.

“Andy, turn around,” she said coldly.

Andrew frowned. “What are you doing, Mrs. Rhodes?”

Tiana let out a vicious laugh. “What do you think? I’m going to strip this hag down and drag her through the streets!”

Caroline gasped, nearly fainting on the spot. “Tiana, you filthy tramp! You can’t do this to me!”

Tiana looked down at her with a twisted smile. “Oh, please Caroline. Haven’t you spent years calling me a slut? Telling anyone who would listen that I seduced every man in Blumedale? Let’s face it. You hate that they wanted me and not your wrinkled face.”

She continued, “You have no charm, warmth, or appeal. I get it, you’re bitter. But your biggest mistake wasn’t talking trash—it was hurting Lauren. So now, I’ll make you a disgrace to society. A walking, breathing punchline.”

With a loud rip, she actually tore open the front of Caroline’s blouse.

Andrew immediately turned his head, speaking in a low growl. “Mrs. Rhodes, let the Peck family handle her punishment. Don’t go any further.”

Tiana snapped, “Stay out of it! I want this bitch completely ruined!”

And with another vicious yank, she pulled Caroline’s pants down.

Andrew was annoyed, but deep down, he understood why Tiana was doing this.

Then, he kicked Dylan and Jerry out of the way. “What the hell are you two staring at? Aren’t you married?”

Jerry scratched his head awkwardly. “I–I was just peeking, that’s all.”

Dylan turned red. “Mr. Lloyd, I’m not married. Can’t I at least look?”

Andrew looked like he might throw up. “Seriously? She’s old and ugly… This is what gets you going?”

Dylan’s eyes lit up. “I know, right? She’s ancient and terrifying. But somehow… It’s kind of hot?”

Natasha snorted in disgust. “Darling, you don’t get it. Dylan’s got a thing for older, mean women. Those who’ll slap him and spoon-feed him.”

Dylan grinned shamelessly. “Exactly! Older women are the best. The older they are, the better!”

Andrew quickly waved them off. “Enough! Both of you—shut up!”

Then, he glanced sideways and groaned.

Dylan’s interest in freaky stuff was nothing new. However, Gary and the rest of the rich kids stared at the scene like it was the hottest gossip in town.

A thunderous roar suddenly echoed through the place. “Stop!”

Calvin, the head of the Peck family, had arrived. He stormed in, followed by Miles and a squad of heavily armed guards. Their faces were fierce, their presence suffocating.

Then, Calvin’s gaze landed on Caroline—half-naked, beaten to a pulp, lying in a bloody heap.

His eyes blazed with fury as he growled, “Nobody leaves. Everyone in this room, except those of the Peck family, stays right here. You move, you die. We’ll kill every last one of you.”
