"Luce, how dare you slap me?"
"Mary, do you dare to touch my daughter again?" Lucy stared at her fiercely. "I wanted to slap you eighteen years ago. After all the things you have done to me, even slapping you a hundred times wouldn't relieve my hatred!"
"Nobody dares to hit me in Dragon City." Mary's face turned red with anger. She raised her hand in an attempt to slap back. But her arm was grabbed by Zac. "All right, Mommy. Don't push others too hard."
"Zac, didn't you see that woman slap me? I'm your mother. Why do you even stop me if you don't help me?" Mary's face darkened with anger.
"You are my mom and she is my mother-in-law. It's unfilial to help anyone," Zac said in a solemn tone.
"You and Hazel have divorced. She has nothing to do with you." Mary was infuriated.
"Mother for a day, and mother for a lifetime," Zac answered firmly and decisively.
