CHAPTER 564: CHAPTER 564: YOU HIT ME?

"You still want to beat me?" Leon’s mother cried while patting her thigh, looking like she was severely wronged: "My life is so miserable, how did I end up with such a venomous daughter-in-law? Sob sob sob..."

"Oh, you old woman, are you making a big deal again?"

Fawn really couldn’t stand Leon’s mother. Clearly, it was this old woman who made so many mistakes. How could she have the nerve to falsely accuse Ivana? And lie with her eyes wide open? Did Ivana ever lay a hand on her?

It was obvious that Leon’s mother came to scratch her first; Ivana only pushed Leon’s mother a bit to prevent her from causing harm.

"Mom, you saw it too, right? How vicious this woman Ivana is? She’s not fit to be a daughter-in-law of the Kane family."

The matriarch’s expression turned unpleasant. She seemed to take in Leon’s mother’s words and looked at Ivana with a very unfamiliar gaze: "Disrespecting elders and pushing them, this is unacceptable. Our Kane family does not have such a granddaughter-in-law."

At this moment, a man wearing glasses and holding a briefcase approached.

"Ms. Monroe, are you aware that assaulting your mother-in-law is already suspected of breaking criminal law?"

"Respecting elders also requires the elders to be worthy of respect. What she did to Ivana was disgraceful and infuriating; she doesn’t deserve Ivana’s respect. There’s no such mother-in-law like this in the world."

Fawn couldn’t stand it. These people, one by one, all wanted to bully Ivana. What kind of family is this?

Fawn turned to the man with the briefcase: "Which eye did you see Ivana assault this old woman? Your eyes must have been donated, right?"

The man with the briefcase ignored Fawn, walked to Leon’s mother, helped her up, and asked, "Mrs. Kane, where did you fall? Let me see, I need to take photos as evidence of Ms. Monroe assaulting you."

Fawn sneered: "It’s just a fall, how bad could it be? This is ridiculous."

Ivana remained silent, watching coldly, especially when her gaze fell on the man with the briefcase. This stranger felt like a lawyer to her, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.

"My arm, my leg, my waist hurt so much."

With the man’s help, Leon’s mother slowly stood up and was seated on a chair. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing bruise after bruise on her arm.

Ivana’s pupils contracted sharply. She did push Leon’s mother, but even from the fall, her arm couldn’t have such injuries.

Fawn’s eyes widened: "No... it’s not... old woman, what’s with your injuries? Don’t say it was Ivana. She only pushed you, she never hit you. You can’t falsely accuse people like this."

"Oh dear! It hurts so much! Lawyer Donovan, you saw it, it was my vicious daughter-in-law who did this." Leon’s mother cooperated with the man as he took photos for evidence, then rolled up her pant legs.

Sure enough, her legs were also bruised.

Upon seeing this, Fawn’s mind exploded, she shouted: "Your legs are like this too, I got it, you did it on purpose. You set a trap today to frame Ivana, old woman, how sinister can you be?"

"Ivana, let’s go, I’ll get Timmy and Ian, this place is too dark, people’s hearts are too malicious."

Fawn said to Ivana.

She felt uneasy too, the old woman even called a lawyer over, what did she want to do to Ivana?

No, they must leave immediately; she needed to inform Leon.

These two old women secretly summoned Ivana and the children here, devised tricks to send the kids away, and cornered Ivana. It showed they didn’t dare tell Leon yet, not even the kids, because both Timmy and Ian were protective of Ivana.

She couldn’t let Ivana face these two wicked old witches alone.

"If you dare touch my grandson, I’ll see you dead here."

Leon’s mother was extremely disdainful of Fawn, constantly calling her an old hag and even dreamed of taking Ian away, who did she think she was?

"Fine! I want to see how you’ll make me die here."

Fawn wasn’t afraid of Leon’s mother and retorted.

Fawn walked towards where Timmy and Ian had been taken when suddenly two maids rushed over and seized Fawn.

"Let me go, let me go, what right do you have to restrict my personal freedom?"

"Slap her mouth!"

Leon’s mother ordered the maids.

The two maids immediately raised their palms, aiming to slap Fawn hard.

"Who dares?"

Ivana shouted angrily, ran to Fawn’s side, grabbed one maid’s hand, and swung fiercely at the face of the other maid who was about to hit Fawn.

"Slap~"

A loud slap resonated.

The slapped maid froze, her hand still suspended in midair. After a moment, she came back to her senses.

"You... you hit me?"

"No... it wasn’t me, it was Ivana Monroe."

The maid who got hit was feeling numbness in her palm, hurriedly stating.

Ivana pulled Fawn beside her, looked at her face, with scratches left by Leon’s mother.

Ivana tightened her fingers, her gaze suddenly fixed on Leon’s mother: "If you touch any of my people again, I promise I’ll make you taste the same pain."

Leon’s mother looked at Ivana in shock, not knowing why, her heart trembled, feeling scared. Ivana’s eyes were terrifying, as if she could make good on her words. Leon’s mother shook her head, she couldn’t back down. Ivana was just bluffing; she couldn’t fear her.

How could a mother-in-law be afraid of her daughter-in-law?

Spit!

She wasn’t Ivana’s mother-in-law; Ivana wasn’t worthy of being her daughter-in-law.

"This is the old house of the Kane family, not a place where she can do as she pleases. Ivana Monroe, I know you hate me, and it’s not the first time you’ve laid hands on me. Hitting elders seems to be your forte!"

The matriarch rubbed her aching temples.

Ivana found Leon’s mother’s words utterly ridiculous: "You’ve already pinned unsubstantiated crimes on me; if I don’t do something, it seems I’m being taken advantage of."

After speaking, Ivana started walking towards Leon’s mother.

Leon’s mother’s heart pounded, hiding behind the man: "Ivana, what... what do you intend to do? If you dare lay a hand on me, prepare to spend your life in prison!"

Ivana chuckled coldly: "You’ve already told the lawyer I caused your injuries. I don’t mind hitting you a few more times, making the injuries worse. Anyway, prison time is prison time, length doesn’t matter."

The man stood in front of Leon’s mother: "Ms. Monroe, calm down."

Ivana said coldly: "Get out of my way."

The matriarch shouted: "Enough, stop this nonsense."

Ivana stood before the man, Leon’s mother looked at Ivana nervously, afraid Ivana might strike her. Ivana showed no emotion, glanced coldly at Leon’s mother, then turned to the matriarch.

"I used to think you could distinguish right from wrong, but I was wrong."

The matriarch saw Ivana’s disappointed expression, her emotions were very complicated.
