“The words that spill from your lips may sound sweet, but your actions are more vile than anything I could have imagined. Marilyn, you and that wretched woman are truly abhorrent!”

Marilyn’s face twisted in disbelief. “He’s my cousin! How could I possibly marry him? I’m only saying these things for her sake, I swear!”

Smack!

Holly, fueled by a surge of fury, stepped forward and delivered a hard slap that echoed through the room, leaving a red mark on Marilyn’s cheek.

“You’re doing this for Adeline? You think she’s better off with a violent fool? You stirred that wicked old woman to create chaos in my home, pressuring me to marry her to a brute? For her good, you relentlessly target her, spreading despicable lies about her character? I won’t let you poison my home with your toxic words!”

Each word Holly uttered intensified her rage, and a single slap felt utterly insufficient. She grabbed a fistful of Marilyn’s hair, pulling her closer as she unleashed several more stinging blows, each one fueled by the injustice she felt. Finally, breathless and trembling with adrenaline, she released Marilyn, who stumbled back, shocked and disoriented.

“You vile creature, you dare lay a hand on my daughter? I’ll tear you apart piece by piece!”

Ramona, who typically held a disdainful view of women, found her tolerance wearing thin. Seeing Marilyn, now entangled with Victor and on the brink of becoming a wealthy matron, made it impossible for her to watch Holly strike her without intervening.

With a guttural roar, she lunged forward, ready to confront Holly.

The nannies from the Xander family, loyal and protective, rushed forward, determined to prevent Ramona from reaching Holly.

Frustration coursed through Ramona as she realized she couldn’t get to Holly. Her eyes blazed with fury, and she turned to Jonas, her voice dripping with contempt. “Jonas, are you just going to stand there and allow your sister to torment Marilyn and me? Are you even capable of being a man?!”

Jonas stood frozen, his mind racing. He had never anticipated Holly, who had always been so meek and submissive in their childhood, would transform into such a fierce protector. His expression darkened, a storm brewing within him.

“Holly!”

He bellowed, raising his large hand, ready to deliver a lesson to his sister that she would never forget.

Greg, sensing the tension escalating, immediately stepped in front of Holly, his fist clenched and ready. “I’ll say it once more: get out of my house!”

“Greg, move aside! I’m handling my sister—what business is it of yours?”

“Holly is my wife. How is this not my business?”

Greg’s heart raced as he assessed the situation. He knew that if Jonas and his son Cyron decided to team up against him, along with the formidable Moore, he stood little chance.

Yet, when he had asked Holly to be his wife, he had made a vow to protect her with every breath he took. No matter the odds, he would not allow anyone to harm her!

“You refuse to let Adeline marry me?”

Moore’s face contorted with rage, spittle flying as he glared at Greg and Holly, his voice a low growl filled with menace.
