Anthony furrowed his brows when he came over and witnessed the incident.
“Hold it right there!” he said as he stepped in front of the woman. Despite his young age, the look in his eyes was extremely sharp.
The woman’s frown deepened as she eyed Anthony from head to toe. “Great, now I've got two annoying brats in my way! Get lost!”
“You bumped into my sister. Apologize to her,” Anthony demanded.
The woman broke into a grin when she heard that. “This girl is your sister?”
Upon taking a closer look at the two of them, the woman realized they did indeed look quite alike.
Hmph! Me? Apologize to a kid? Fat chance!
“I'm really busy, so I don't have time for your nonsense. Run along now, kid!” she shouted impatiently.
“You're not going anywhere until you apologize to her!” Anthony snapped back at her with a vicious look in his eyes.
Spencer, who was watching everything from upstairs, arched an eyebrow as he commented, “That boy sure has a nice look in his eyes. He definitely has potential!”
Natasha’s expression turned gloomy as she continued to observe the situation.
She was in no hurry to go downstairs as she wanted to see how far Anthony would go to protect himself and his family.
Erin glared at the boy before her in disbelief. “What did you just say? You sure talk big for a mere child! Do you even have any idea who I am?”
Anthony was completely unfazed by her attempt at asserting dominance. “I don't care who you are! You bumped into my sister, so you're going to apologize!”
“You...” Erin was clearly angered by his persistence, but tried her best to keep her cool as she said, “Don't mess with me, kid! Step aside!”
Anthony simply stared her down and refused to budge.
Not wanting to let it drag on any further, Erin tried to make her way around him, but Anthony moved along with her and blocked her path.
“Don't make me hurt you, kid!” Erin yelled in frustration.
Trying to threaten me, is she? Heh, I'm not afraid of her!
“Go ahead! Show me what you've got!” Anthony shouted back at her with a fearless look on his face.
Erin's expression grew nasty as she said, “I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents then, you little sh*t!”
“Give me your best shot!” Anthony replied with a sneer.
Unbeknownst to Erin, the watch hidden in his sleeve had been set to taser mode.
Anthony was completely prepared to shock the living daylights out of her if she dared lay a finger on him.
Noticing that Erin had reached out to grab him, Natasha was about to rush downstairs when Terence came out of a private room.
“Stop!” he shouted when he saw what Erin was doing.
Terence then ran up to them and stood in front of Erin as he continued, “What do you think you're doing?”
