When Two Winters Met (Henrietta and Yosef) novel Chapter 41

The security guards stopped. Pamela immediately broke free, tears streaming down her face. “Henrietta, I knew you were as kind as you are beautiful.”

Henrietta started walking toward her, one deliberate step at a time.

Watching Henrietta approach, radiating elegance and wealth, Pamela’s face flushed with excitement. She knew it. Henrietta was a good person, and she was deeply in love with her son. This was just a little tantrum; she couldn't possibly be truly cruel.

Pamela wiped her tears. “Henrietta…”

Before she could finish, Henrietta suddenly raised her hand and a sharp slap echoed as it landed squarely on Pamela’s cheek.

Pamela’s eyes widened in stunned silence.

Everyone was shocked. After all, Pamela was an elder—a woman in her fifties, her face lined with wrinkles, her hair streaked with silver. For Henrietta, a young woman, to strike an elder was truly staggering.

“You!” Pamela clutched her face, utterly blindsided.

Matteo was furious. “What do you think you’re doing?” he yelled, reaching for Henrietta.

She dodged him and, in a smooth motion, spun around and slapped a stunned Jolie, who was standing beside him. Another sharp crack echoed through the lobby.

The onlookers gasped. Damn! The Sargent family heiress really was something else.

Jolie had been shocked enough seeing Henrietta hit Pamela, but she never expected to get slapped herself. She was completely frozen, instinctively covering her cheek.

Matteo was floored. He never imagined the composed, rational Henrietta would physically attack his mother and sister.

Winona and Charlotte, however, were thoroughly enjoying the show.
