In the car, Baber saw the menacing father-son duo outside and instantly felt guilty. He was the cause of the trouble today. He furrowed his brows, contemplating stepping out to help his mother so he could shoulder the blame.
As his hand reached for the door handle, he was pulled back by his siblings, Adrian and Layla.
âBaber, you canât go out there!â
âBaber, have you forgotten what Mom told us? Going out will only cause more trouble for her.â
Baber was despondent. âButâ¦â
He had caused this mess. Those people were causing trouble for his mom because of him.
âNo buts, we should listen to Mom.â Adrian firmly stated.
Layla echoed her brotherâs thoughts. âBaber, please behave.â
Convinced by his younger siblings, Baber retracted his hand from the door handle and decided to watch the unfolding events from inside the car.
Outside the car, Ellinor was calmly facing the domineering father-son duo. âSo, whatâs the purpose of ambushing me here?â
The father, feeling Ellinor was playing dumb, glared at her. âWhatâs the purpose? Your son hit my son the other day, traumatizing him. He hasnât been able to eat properly! Heâs even lost weight! Iâll say it again! Your son must kneel and apologize to mine today!âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

Ellinor raised an eyebrow. âWhat if my son refuses to kneel?â
The father, irritated by her defiance, bared his teeth. âIf he wonât kneel, you can!â
Ellinor laughed. âHow interesting! First of all, your son doesnât look like heâs lost any weight. And second, is this how youâre raising your child? After youâve encouraged such behavior, what do you think heâll grow up to be? Heâll be a thug like you.â
The father, humiliated and furious, yelled, âWho are you calling a thug?! Woman, are you asking for trouble?!â
Unfazed, Ellinor scoffed. âIâm calling you a thug, of course! Arenât your actions right now exactly what a thug would do? What normal person would set up an ambush like this?â
The father, unable to outwit her, was even more enraged.
âYou⦠you⦠Youâre pushing your luck! I thought of giving you a chance, considering youâre a single mom with three kids. As long as your son kneels and apologizes to mine, we can let this go. But you donât seem to want that, so donât blame me for being ruthless!â
Ellinor folded her arms. âOh really? Iâd like to see what youâre capable of.â
The father snapped his fingers. âEveryone, come out!â
At his command, a group of robust women stepped out of the surrounding cars.
Ellinor squinted at them. âSo youâre planning to gang up on me?â
The father, mistaking her squint for fear, laughed. âIsnât this what you asked for? Iâll have you know, Iâm not a thug. Iâve never hit a woman because I want to set a good example for my son. But women fighting women? Now thatâs fair game!â
Ellinor looked at the man in front of her with utter contempt, feeling nothing but revulsion.
The father lifted his chubby son. âWell? Scared now? Itâs not too late! Have your son come out and apologize to mine right now!â
Ellinor feigned fear. âOh, I am so scared. But let me tell you this. Thereâs no chance in hell Iâm making my son apologize for something he didnât do!â
The father gritted his teeth. âFine! Youâve asked for this! Get her! Beat her senseless! Let her understand the consequences of messing with my son!â
The robust women, after a resounding affirmation, began cracking their knuckles and advancing towards Ellinor.
