Yvonne stared at her mother’s tear-streaked face, but this time, her heart stayed cold.
“Fine. You say I can’t just leave you behind? Well, you’re miserable anyway. Get a divorce—I'll take care of you from now on.”
The moment she said it, Robin and Tracy were up in arms.
“My relationship with your mother is perfectly fine. Who are you to meddle and tell her to get a divorce? Can’t stand to see her happy, is that it?” Robin snapped.
“Exactly!” Tracy chimed in, her voice shrill. “Mom, your daughter’s vicious. She’s trying to destroy you and Dad!”
Tracy was panicking now. If both her mom and Yvonne left, who would earn her spending money? Who would keep the family afloat?
“If nothing else works, I’ll call the police,” Yvonne announced, pulling out her phone.
John lunged forward and snatched it out of her hand. “Well, look at that—an iPhone 14. My phone’s busted, why don’t you let me have yours?” he sneered.
“Give it back!” Yvonne shot to her feet.
But John, shameless as ever, stuffed the phone in his pocket.
At twenty-four, John was a grown man, far stronger than Yvonne. When she tried to grab her phone back, he took the chance to wrap an arm around her waist—he’d been eyeing her for ages, and now he saw an opportunity to take advantage.
Disgusted, Yvonne shoved him hard, sending him sprawling to the floor. Her striking eyes glared daggers at him.
“Bitch!” John snarled, face twisted with rage.
Cora, seeing her precious son knocked down, tossed her snacks aside and stormed over to hit Yvonne. She wasn’t the least bit intimidated, even if it was several against one.
Yvonne felt her scalp sting as someone yanked her hair. John scrambled up and pinched her waist, still trying to grope her.
Yvonne was shaking with anger. Without thinking, she kicked him, hard, right between the legs.
“Aaagh!”
“This crazy bitch fights back? Hold her down! Grab her car keys—selling that car would bring in some cash!” Cora barked.
The group closed in, trying to pin Yvonne down.
