Caught off guard, Rebekah was hit by several of Shawn's blocks. Her skin was delicate, and small bruises quickly began to form on her arms.
By the time she managed to dodge, Hortensia had lunged forward, grabbing a fistful of her hair and dragging her inside. "You are going to get on your knees and apologize to Candice right now!"
"That's right! Apologize to Miss Candice!" Shawn echoed. "You're a bad woman! You went too far this time!"
Rebekah felt as if her scalp was being torn from her head. Her mother-in-law didn't release her until she'd been dragged all the way to Candice's room. By then, tears of pain were welling in her eyes.
"Well? Apologize to her!" Hortensia snarled.
Thrown to the floor, Rebekah looked up to see Candice propped up against the headboard, with Benjamin perched on the edge of the bed, glaring down at her with undisguised hatred.
When Rebekah remained silent, her mother-in-law raised a foot to kick her. This time, however, Rebekah was ready. As the foot swung toward her, she scrambled backward. The kick missed, and the older woman's momentum sent her stumbling forward. With a cry of, "Oof!" she lost her balance and collapsed onto the floor.
"Grandma!"
"Mom!"
Both Benjamin and Shawn rushed to help her up. Rebekah, meanwhile, pushed herself to her feet and watched the three of them with a cold, detached stare.
"Rebekah! Have you lost your mind? Now you're attacking my mother?" Benjamin snapped after checking that his mother was unharmed, his eyes blazing with fury.
