Chapter 253: Violent Retaliation
“Raylee, how could you talk about me like that? I’m the real daughter of the Goodridge family! You’re nothing but a filthy peasant!”
Upon seeing his most cherished sister in tears, Samuel’s protective instincts were once again triggered.
“Raylee, don’t think that we all have to accommodate you just because you suddenly returned after disappearing! Does Wavy owe you something or what? Why would you start bullying her right in front of us immediately after returning? I demand you apologize to her immediately!” he barked furiously.
The murderous intent was unmistakable in Raylee’s eyes as she retorted, “Does she not owe me big time? I was only gone for a short while. Have you all lost your memories or something? Are you all planning to selectively forget what happened four years ago? That’s fine, though. I’ll help you all remember very soon. The day will come when you all will kneel and surrender to me!”
At that moment, every word and action of Raylee exuded an aura of strength, demonstrating that she was every bit as formidable as any man. After being gone for five months, her appearance had undergone a dramatic transformation. She carried an imposing aura even when she wasn’t angry. Even Casimir and Samuel, two grown men, found themselves taken aback by her aura.
“Ray-Ray, you’re so cool, just like the strong female leads in TV dramas who return for revenge after enduring all kinds of hardships! I really love it! Ray-Ray, from this day forward, your enemies are my enemies too! I’ll help you seek revenge! I am your most loyal ally!”
Halston’s eyes sparkled, utterly captivated by the awe-inspiring aura that Raylee radiated.
Seeing Halston transform into a fanboy, Samuel yelled in annoyance, “Shut up! You’re clueless about everything, yet you’re eager to help her seek revenge? Why don’t you just get lost?”
In a display of loyalty, Halston stood a meter away from Samuel, expressing his disdain by declaring, “From this day forward, you and I are foes, not friends. My loyalty lies solely with Ray-Ray, and our brotherly bond is now severed!”
Samuel was so frustrated that he could almost faint on the spot. He angrily directed his ire towards Raylee, yelling, “You claimed you weren’t interested in Halston, yet you came back and immediately tried to seduce him! Can’t you survive without a man? You truly are shameless, ready to marry any man that comes your way!”
“Watch your mouth!” Raylee stood firm, her entire being radiating an unstoppable force.
Acting as if he were a judge who spoke vehemently against evil, Samuel said, “Am I wrong? Just how many men have you been with since your release from prison? Casimir, Percival, and now Halston… I wonder just how many more you’ve been with behind my back that I don’t know about!”
No sooner had the words left his lips than a heavy punch from Raylee landed squarely on his face. Instantly, Samuel’s vision was filled with stars, and he felt a sharp pain in his nose. The overpowering scent of blood filled his nostrils as a trickle of blood began to flow.
“Ah! Samuel, you’re bleeding from your nose!” Waverly said, tears streaming down her face as she held Casimir steady.
“Raylee, you’ve gone too far! You just finished roughing up Casimir, and now you’re hitting Samuel! Samuel, are you okay?”
Samuel shook his head and wiped the blood off his nose. Anger caused the veins in his neck to bulge, his face turning a sudden shade of purplish blue as he screamed angrily, “Raylee, I can’t believe you actually hit me! Do you really think I wouldn’t dare hit you just because you’re a woman?”
Guided by the principle of taking action rather than engaging in pointless chatter, Raylee assumed an offensive stance and skillfully struck Samuel’s elbow with her hands. All that could be heard was a sharp, cracking sound as Samuel’s arm was dislocated, his bone brutally fractured.
“Argh!” Samuel let out a horrendous scream as agony instantly spread throughout his body. As he clutched his injured arm, the pain became so intense that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t even utter a single word.
“Still want to hurl more abuse at me?” Raylee’s voice cut through the air, cold and piercing. Her gaze was razor-sharp, reminiscent of a venomous snake, fixed on the worthless individuals before her.
Samuel wanted to retort, but he was too disheartened to do so. The pain of a broken bone was not something an average person could endure. As for Casimir, his most vulnerable spot had been hit so hard that he simply couldn’t recover in such a short amount of time.
Upon witnessing Raylee resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement, and the ruthlessness of her attacks, Waverly recoiled in fear, not even daring to weep.
