Seeing Cherise run oll, Morris immediately followed.<\/p>\n
Truman and Xenia exchanged glances before standing to leave as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on? Why are they suddenly rushing off?\u201d Mrs. Sirupson asked, clearly puzzled.<\/p>\n
The next second, a sharp scream echoed from the Walton residence, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass.<\/p>\n
Mary shot up from her seat. \u201cThat\u2019s Jean\u2019s voice!\u201d she exclaimed, alarmed.<\/p>\n
The commotion quickly drew the<\/p>\n
ention of the guests.<\/p>\n
Cherise followed the noise to the bath frantically trying the door handle, only to find it locked.<\/p>\n
Morris arrived just behind her, \u201cLet me!\u201d he said quickly.<\/p>\n
Cherise stepped aside, and Morris delivered a swift kick, breaking the door open with ease.<\/p>\n
Cherise strode into the bathroom.<\/p>\n
Inside, an enraged Lydia stood clutching an empty glass bottle. A glass partition in the bathroom lay completely shattered, shards scattered across the floor.<\/p>\n
The breaking sound must have come from that partition.<\/p>\n
Jean was huddled in the farthest corner of the bathroom, shielding her face with her arm.<\/p>\n
Lydia turned her glare on Cherise. \u201cMind your own business and get out!\u201d she spat.<\/p>\n
Before Lydia could say another word, Cherise struck a pressure point, freezing her in place, glass bottle still in hand.<\/p>\n
Truman hurried in and addressed Morris. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris gave him a sharp look. \u201cYour trouble,\u201d he said curtly, then turned his gaze toward Jean.<\/p>\n
Cherise knelt by Jean to assess her injuri<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s me. It\u2019s okay,\u201d Cherise said softly.<\/p>\n
She noticed Jean\u2019s arm was badly damaged, the flesh raw and mangled.<\/p>\n
Jean slowly lowered her arm upon hearing Cherise\u2019s voice. Shaking her head, her face pale, she muttered, \u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d Thankfully, her face was unscathed, but her arm was in dire need of attention.<\/p>\n
Truman crouched down, regret evident on his face. \u201cJean, I\u2019m so sorry. This is my fault,\u201d he said heavily.<\/p>\n
Cherise sniffed the liquid clinging to Jean\u2019s injured arm. Her eyes widened. \u201cSulfuric acid,\u201d she muttered, \u201cand a highly corrosive blend at that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Turning to Truman and Xenia, she spoke quickly, \u201cTruman, Xenia, I need you to take Jean to Globalision Group immediately. Crow will meet you there.<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer wounds need to be cleaned with a special solution right away. If we don\u2019t act fast, the corrosion will spread, and the<\/p>\n
consequences<\/p>\n
will be severe.\u201d<\/p>\n
She stood, her tone resolute. \u201cMorris and I will stay here to deal with the Walton family.\u201d<\/p>\n

She turned back to Jean and said firmly, \u201cDon\u2019t worry. We won\u2019t let this slide.\u201d<\/p>\n
+23<\/p>\n
Truman nodded, lifting Jean into his arms. As he passed Lydia, paused, his gaze hard and filled with disdain. \u201cYou\u2019re the first woman who\u2019s ever disgusted me,\u201d he said coldly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Simpson family doesn\u2019t match the Walton family, and I\u2019ve always said I don\u2019t bully women, but since you\u2019ve done this, Lydia, I\u2019ll make sure you regret it.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, he carried Jean out of the bathroom.<\/p>\n
The earlier noise had already attracted a growing crowd outside.<\/p>\n
As Truman exited, Mrs. Simpson and Mary rushed forward, the faces etched with concern. \u201cOh my, what happened to Jean?\u201d Mary asked, alarmed at the sight of Jean in Truman\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n
Truman looked at her guiltily. \u201cMrs. Jarrett, I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019ll explain later. Right now, I need to get her wounds treated.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary saw Jean\u2019s mangled arm and urged him. \u201cHurry! Don\u2019t delay!\u201d<\/p>\n
Though she didn\u2019t know what had happened, Mary noticed Lydia standing stiffly in the bathroom. A hunch told her it had something to do with the Walton family.<\/p>\n
Once Truman and Jean left, the Walton family arrived. Stella looked around uneasily. \u201cWhat\u2019s everyone doing in the bathroom?\u201d she asked. Turning to Lydia, she added, \u201cWeren\u2019t you resting? Why are you here?\u201d<\/p>\n
She moved toward Lydia and said, \u201cCome on, let me take you to rest. This must have disrupted Morris and Cherise, hasn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cora, following closely, barked, \u201cGet her out of there!\u201d<\/p>\n
But no matter how much Stella pulled, Lydia remained rooted to the spot.<\/p>\n
Her immobility struck Stella as odd. Turning to Cherise, she demanded, \u201cMs. Leach, was it you? Did you do something to Lydia?\u201d<\/p>\n
She then looked at Morris. \u201cMorris, can you tell us what happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cora\u2019s expression darkened as she entered the bathroom. \u201cMs. Leach,\u201d she said, her voice heavy with displeasure, \u201cdid you d something to Lydia? Why would you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris\u2019s face was grim, his expression like a storm.<\/p>\n
Cherise crossed her arms, leaning against the sink with a casual air. Her voice, however, carried an edge. \u201cWhat happened? That\u2019s something you should ask Ms. Walton.\u201d<\/p>\n
Turning to Lydia, she added coolly, \u201cMs. Walton, I only pressed a point on your body, not one that affects your speech. You can still talk, so why don\u2019t you explain yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lydia hesitated, her face contorted with discomfort. Finally, she spoke, \u201cGrandma, Aunt Stella, with all these people here, please help me. I was just chatting with Ms. Jarrett, and then Ms. Leach barged in and did something to me without warnin Now I can\u2019t move.\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked at the gathered crowd and continued pitifully, \u201cIf I\u2019ve offended her, please help me explain and smooth things<\/p>\n
over.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her words caused an uproar among the onlookers.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow could she do that? Is she abusing her connection to Morris and Arthur?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard she\u2019s always been arrogant. Guess she finally messed with the wrong people!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, I saw Ms. Jarrett run out injured earlier. Maybe there\u2019s more to this. Let\u2019s see how it unfolds.\u201d<\/p>\n
The murmurs of the crowd swirled as the tension in the room thickened.<\/p>\n
