Tess was on her way to confront Lucinda downstairs when she heard the uproar and rushed to mediate the situation.
Unfortunately, her intervention was futile, and her parents continued to argue and fight.
Lucinda had only brought Rickey and Pierre with her.
The noise from the altercation was unbearable. She rubbed her ears gracefully and instructed them, “You both should go upstairs and break up the fight. Bring them down here.”
“Yes, ma’am,” they replied dutifully before swiftly ascending the stairs.
Pierre quickly subdued Dustin. He knocked him unconscious and carried him down the stairs.
Seeing this, Alvina and Tess followed closely behind.
Alvina’s hair was in disarray, a clear indication of the wide strength gap between men and women. Her cheeks were swollen, her lips were bleeding, and her face was drowned in tears.
Tess also looked pathetic, having been accidentally slapped by her father during the scuffle.
Lucinda directed Rickey to bring a small sofa and position it on the other side of the coffee table, where the Greens could sit.
The servants stood at the door, eager to watch the spectacle.
Sitting on the center of the sofa, Lucinda appeared like the owner of the house. She looked more in control than the real owners.
She leaned on the sofa and watched the three of them across from her.
She then began to clap slowly.
“What an incredible family drama!”
Alvina glared at Lucinda while attempting to adjust her dress. Her face throbbed from the slap, and she winced with every movement of her Lips.

Tess glared at Lucinda, her eyes filled with the same fierce determination as her mother’s.
“You think you can destroy my family just like that? Not a chance. I won’t let you get away with this!
I’ll come for you one day! You better don’t get too comfortable and watch your back!”
Lucinda chuckled at Tess’s threat.
“Come for me? I’m sorry to disappoint you, but that’s not going to happen.”
Tess felt a shiver run down her spine at Lucinda’s cold and arrogant demeanor.
“What do you mean by that?”
Lucinda glanced at Rickey and then turned to Tess.
