Chapter 159


    Thssa towers over Isabe, who always tries to even the score by strutting around in high heels. But


    right now, she was just rolled out of bed, barefoot and all, looking a bit shorter next to Thssa in her fl


    ats.


    Also, Thssa was used to doing the grunt work, so she had got some serious muscle.


    With ease, she grabbed Isabe.


    Isabe didn’t see iting. She’s knocked off her feet


    and gets a solid p across the face. Her head’s spinning, her face throbbing with pain


    She turned her head around, ring at Thssa, “You dare to hit me?”


    Isabe tried to pull herself up, but Thssa pinned down her thrashing arms and pped her other ch


    eek.


    Panting. Thssa snapped, “Those ps are to make sure you get my point!”


    Isabe still ying dumb!


    After everything she had done to hurt her and she yed innocent. Well, if she didn’t listen, maybe a sl


    ap in the face would do the trick!


    Five years ago, Isabe tricked Thssa into fetching firewood from the shed and locked her in. Then


    she took off to get busy with


    her boyfriend, leaving Thssa to be taken advantage of by a stranger named Lysander.


    She deserved a p! Those two ps were five years overdue!


    But pping Isabe didn’t extinguish Thssa’s rage.


    Isabe’s head was knocked to one side, and the burning pain in one cheek hadn’t even subsided whe


    n the other cheek got a p. The doubled pain was unbearable.


    Isabe was scared out of her wits, her breathing in ragged gasps. The pain is so intense she coul


    dn’t move. She closed her eyes, trying to numb the pain.


    Seeing her silent, Thssa angrily shoved Isabe aside, “Next time I catch you scheming against me,


    a p won’t be the only thing you’ll get!”


    With that, Thssa turned and left.


    Isabe lied on the bed, both cheeks swollen and throbbing. She gingerly touched them, winces at the


    pain, and quickly put her hand


    away.


    She was so angry that it felt like her chest was a going to explode. Tears welled up in her eyes, her gaz


    e full of malice. She screamed in a suppressed voice.


    “Thssa! You bitch, just you wait!”


    Back home, Thssa told Evelyn, “Tomorrow we’re off to Starhaven. The day after tomorrow, I start wo


    rk.”


    Before Evelyn could chat with Thssa, she had already headed into her room, shutting the door behin


    d her.


    Thssa leaned against the door, her tension copsing into a wave of bitterness and sorrow. Tears w


    elled up in her eyes and streamed down her face.


    She was crying for the past five years of grievances.


    Even if she did teach Isabe a lesson, it wouldn’t bring back those lost five years, or give her children


    a single day of fatherly love.. From the bottom of her heart, she felt sorry for her four children.


    In the past, she thought it was her fault for losing the emerald pendant and leaving the kids without a fa


    ther.


    At first, she was full of confidence, believing that if she found the pendant, she could find their father an


    d reunite them.


    No matter how tough life got, she faced it with optimism, believing she would one day find their father.


    She wanted her children to experience a father’s love.


    But now, even though she had found their father, he was not interested in them.


    Her belief that finding their father would bring them love had shattered.


    It felt like her world was copsing, leaving her powerless and in pain, filled with a sense of injustice.


    “Mommy…” Atticus woke up on the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and called for Thssa with his childl
