May was seething. She turned to look at the bald inmate who had hit her. “What are you doing?”
“I’m hitting you, what else? You’re imprisoned here, but you’re still thinking of bullying others once you get out. You’re obviously a vile person.”
May wanted to retort, ‘Are you any better?’
However, she managed to endure it as she turned away quietly to continue with her work.
“I’ve heard about you two. One is Xyla Quest’s wretched stepmother; the other is her wretched half-sister.
“News about your family issues have even made it to us. Everyone says that both of you are the mastermind behind the rumor of Imperial Prime having defects.
“Bunch of dogsh*ts, not only are you unwilling to repent, but you’re even trying to harm others!”
As she spoke, the bald inmate rolled up her sleeve and stood up, glaring ferociously at the mother-daughter pair as if she wanted to kill them.
“Why do you care about our family issues? Are you perhaps acquainted with Xyla Quest?” Emily felt her scalp prickle. She subconsciously shifted aside, stammering as she asked.
“I don’t know her, but I saw her delicate face on the news. It’s obvious that she’s the type to be bullied by people like you. I’m annoyed, so I feel like fighting injustice!” As she spoke, the bald inmate lifted her leg and kicked both mother and daughter.
After that, the bald inmate straddled May and started slapping her continuously.
Her slaps were swift and loud. In a few seconds, May’s face swelled up like a balloon.
Emily instantly yelled hysterically, “Help! Somebody!”
After that, she quickly grabbed the bald inmate’s shirt collar, trying to pull the woman away.
However, she was unsuccessful. The bald inmate wouldn’t budge!
The next instant, the bald inmate slapped Emily viciously across the face with the back of her hand. “It seems like you really want to attend your own wedding with a swollen face. Don’t worry. I’ll help you with that.”
A second later, Emily fell to the floor after being struck, and blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She was furious and frustrated, wanting to get up and fight back. However, she realized that she had sprained her right wrist. Not only was she unable to move, but there was also a piercing pain.
