Thalassa glanced up and spotted a handsome man with short chestnut hair, all dressed up in a silver-grey suit, radiating an aura of a sunny lad.
It was Leopold!
After shoving Isabella aside, he walked over to Thalassa, his eyes soft with concern. "Are you okay?" he asked gently.
Thalassa shook her head.
Isabella's mother quickly stepped in, helping her daughter up. She prepared to give the man who pushed her daughter a piece of her mind, but stopped in her tracks when she noticed his high-and-mighty aura, like that of a rich young master.
So, she didn't dare to lash out at him, instead venting all her anger at Thalassa. "Thalassa, have you no manners? How could you treat an injured person like this? You really behave like a child who's been raised by a mother alone!"
This was more than just an insult, it was a clear mockery.
Leopold frowned, ready to intervene.
But Thalassa, seething with anger, beat him to it. "She was about to hit me, didn't you see that? From what I see, Isabella's unruliness is all thanks to your bad influence!"
"How dare you talk to your elder like that? I'm your aunt, and you disrespect me in such a way!" Isabella's mother was red-faced and thick-necked in rage. If it weren't for the fact that she had to hold Isabella to prevent her from falling again, she would have slapped Thalassa right then and there.
Thalassa was appalled at the shamelessness of this mother-daughter duo. They bullied others yet couldn't stand a taste of their own medicine!
A surge of anger flared within Thalassa. To reason with these people was a total waste of time.
Thalassa, fuming, retorted, "So, you remember you're an elder, huh? But the words coming out of your mouth are even worse than a three-year-old's."
Isabella's mother was about to confront her.
Isabella held her back. Suddenly, the once overbearing woman seemed to have changed, becoming reasonable and understanding.
"Mom, calm down. I just slipped a little. I'm not hurt."
