My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 225 Velma Was Beaten Up

Of course, Velma could not win against Sydney's weapon. She quickly yelped in pain and jumped around to dodge Sydney’s attack.

Sydney did not stop but swung the duster more vigorously than before. It was as though she wanted to vent about all the grievances Velma made her suffer through all these years.

As she swung the duster, she said, "So what if I'm hitting you? Who said I can't? Do you still think you're my mother-in-law? You’re nothing but a madwoman. I’m just hitting a madwoman.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"You... You..." Velma was trembling in anger.

Since she paused for a short second, Sydney's feather duster landed right on her calf. She was in so much pain that she jumped.

In the end, Velma was afraid and shouted for Sydney to stop.

Sydney was also tired. When she saw Velma's pathetic state, she knew that it was time to stop. It was better to stop when the situation could still be controlled. Sydney leaned against the shoe cabinet to catch her breath.

Velma did not expect Sydney to fight back so violently. She suddenly regretted coming over.

Just then, the elevator door opened.

Jayden stepped out. When he saw Velma and Sydney, his eyes brightened. "Sydney, Mom!"

Sydney swept him a cold glance, visibly could not care less.

On the other hand, Velma was more upset than before.

Her son acknowledged Sydney first before her.

She was also incredibly furious with Sydney.

"Mom, didn't I tell you not to come here? You..."

He stopped mid-sentence when he noticed something wrong with Velma. He asked in a surprised tone," Mom, what happened to your face? Why is it swollen?"

Velma had a twisted expression when she replied," She hit me. Not only on my face, but she also used a feather duster on me. Look at all these marks!"

She pulled up her sleeves and showed him the beat marks on her arms.

They were red, swollen, and terrifying to look at.

Jayden widened his eyes and looked toward Sydney in disbelief. "Sydney, did you really... hit my mom?"

“She did!" Before Sydney could reply, Velma spitted unhappily.

Jayden ignored her and continued staring at Sydney." Sydney, why did you hit my mom?"

Sydney looked at her nails, and her tone of voice was indifferent. "Since your mom hit me first, why can’t I hit her back?”

"Hit her back?" Jayden was stunned at first, then he looked toward Velma. "Mom, you hit Sydney first?”

A flash of guilt appeared in Velma's eyes. She raised her voice and said, "So what if I hit her? Your brother became like that because of her. I only slapped her once and look at me now. She slapped me once and beat me so many times with the feather duster. I will not let this go. I'll call the police and sue you for intentional harm!"

She pointed at Sydney as she spitted those words.

Jayden got worried and said to Sydney, "Sydney, apologize to my mom, quick."

He did not want Sydney to go to jail.

Sydney's expression darkened and she looked at Jayden in disdain. "Are you stupid? Why should I apologize to your mom?"

Jayden was anxious. "If you don't, she'll sue you and you might..."

"Are you worried about me?” Sydney raised her eyebrows and looked at this youngster with a mocking smile.

Jayden’s face turned red and he quickly looked away." I... I'm not worried about you. Just apologize to my mom or she might call the police."

Sydney crossed her arm in front of her chest and said, "Do you think your mom will let me go even after I apologize?"

When Velma heard this, she sneered and said, "At least you're smart."

Jayden was flabbergasted. He came to a sudden realization of how naive he was.

His mother hated Sydney so much. So how would she give up on calling the police just because Sydney apologized?

What should he do?

Jayden clenched his fist, and he was like an ant on fire. He just could not figure out what to do.

Even though he was a well-built young man, he was just a teenager after all, and he had not even stepped into society. In the face of such a situation, of course, he would lose his cool and would not know what to do.

Sydney found him rather amusing.

This guy was adorable.

It was hard to believe that he was the son of an uncultured woman like Velma.

"It's impossible for the police to come, even if you want them to," Sydney yawned and said lightly.

Jayden's eyes brightened as he looked at her.

Did Sydney figure something out?

Velma sneered and pursed her lips. "Why is it impossible? Do you think you can stop me just because you say so?"

"I won't stop you. On the contrary, I'll encourage you. We’ll see who will end up being caught - you or me," Sydney replied with a smile.

When Velma saw her smile, she felt a sudden surge of uneasiness. "You... What do you mean?"

"It's simple. You came here and laid your hands on me first. I can sue you for trespassing and violence. It's also self-defense for me to hit you back. I think the one who will be released in the end will be me, while you'll be detained," Sydney said.

When Velma heard her words, her heart tightened and her voice became softer than before. "You... Stop lying to me. How is that possible?"

"Go ahead and try." Sydney made a gesture at her.

Jayden quickly tugged on Velma's arm and said," Mom, don't. If it's true..."

If what Sydney said was true, then his mother would go to jail instead.

He did not want Sydney or his mother to get caught. It was better to just leave things here.

Velma was also afraid. However, she could not bear to just give up and lose against Sydney. "Why must I try just because you ask me to? Who do you think you are?"

Sydney knew that Velma was just trying to save herself and rolled her eyes. "Then it's up to you. I just want to know why you're both here.”

"You even dare to ask me that!" When Sydney mentioned that, Velma's expression twisted uglily. The way she looked at Sydney almost felt like she wanted to eat her alive. "Julien's car accident happened because of you! You're a whore who only brings bad luck!"

As she said that, she reached toward Sydney's face once again.

Sydney narrowed her eyes and lifted the feather duster. "Do you still want a taste of this again?"

Velma met Sydney’s gaze and quickly stopped herself. She could still feel the pain in her flesh, so she took a step back and backed down quietly.

Jayden wanted to stop his mother at first, but he was now looking at Sydney with admiration.

Sydney was amazing.

His mother was notorious for having a bad temper and could never be reasoned with. Yet, Sydney managed to keep her in line. It was surprising.

"Huh. Looks like someone is quiet now.” Sydney touched the feather duster with her other hand." Explain to me what you said just now. How is it my fault that Julien got into a car accident? Do you

have any evidence? If you don't, I can sue you for defamation." "What other evidence do you need? Julien got into an accident in Shallow Bay. It must be you who called him over and planned the accident." Velma pointed at Sydney.

"Mom, don't speak nonsense." Jayden wanted to stop her.

Velma pushed him away.

Sydney's expression turned cold. She lifted her feather duster once more and Velma quickly took another step back.

Sydney raised her eyebrow at Velma's reaction.

The way she gave her a good beating just now must have made an impact. She even had a reflex toward the sight of the feather duster.
