Chapter 284 Molly's Rebellion
The chaos had just died down, but another storm was brewing.
Right now, neither Patrick nor Edward was home.
Debra was convinced Molly had ratted her out to Byron, so she barged into Molly's room, yanked her by the hair, and dragged her to the living room!
She'd picked up a trick from Patrick on how to publicly humiliate Edward and was now using it herself!
"Debra, let go! My head hurts so much!" Molly cried, tears streaming down her face, feeling like her scalp was about to rip off!
"You little traitor! You still feel pain? Good! Today, I'm gonna teach you a lesson, you backstabbing little bitch!" Debra spat, raising her hand and slapping Molly hard across the face!
The slap echoed through the room, startling the servants, whose eyes widened as frail Molly hit the ground hard!
Everyone was on edge, their eyes burning with anger, but as servants of the Wellington family, they didn't dare step in. They could only fume in silence.
"Debra, I was wrong. I really was! I won't do it again!" Molly sobbed, covering her face.
She knew no one would help her now.
She wanted to fight back, but her body wouldn't move.
'Debra's the favorite daughter of the Wellington family; how can I fight her? Evelyn can leave whenever she wants, but I can't. I have to stay and endure. That's my survival rule,' Molly thought.
Kimberly rushed over, crying, and knelt beside Molly, holding her close. "Miss Debra Wellington! What right do you have to bully Miss Molly Wellington?"
Debra laughed angrily, hands on her hips, glaring at them. "You little fool, I didn't expect you to make a friend in this house?"
"Kimberly, don't worry about me, go away!" Molly knew Debra was unhinged, afraid she couldn't protect Kimberly, so she tried to cover Kimberly's mouth.
"I'm not leaving!" Kimberly held Molly tightly, her eyes red and filled with tears, staring at Debra. "Even if I can't work here, even if I can't stay in all of Mugden, I'm not leaving! Miss Debra Wellington! Do you know you've already broken the law? Even if Miss Molly Wellington is your sister, you shouldn't hurt her. Hitting people is illegal!"
"That's hilarious! Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?" Debra laughed loudly, then kicked Kimberly in the shoulder, knocking her to the ground. "What if I hit her? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue me!"
Kimberly lay on the ground, her shoulder feeling like it was about to shatter!
The surrounding servants were furious, some wanting to step in but being held back by others.
They knew the Wellington family in Mugden was almost untouchable.
If they acted rashly, they might never be able to stay in Mugden again! No matter how pissed off they were, they were just regular servants and had to think about their own and their families' futures.
Molly could take a hit herself, but seeing Kimberly get hurt lit a fire in her gentle soul, turning her clear eyes red with rage!
Debra was startled by the unprecedentedly angry look in Molly's eyes, thinking, 'Is she nuts? She's standing up to me for a servant?'
"You hurt Kimberly. Apologize to her now!" Molly slowly stood up, her thin shoulders shaking with anger, her gaze at Debra as sharp as a knife, filled with a chilling coldness.
"Apologize? No way!" Before Debra could finish her sentence, Molly, like a raging bull, shouted and charged at Debra with all her might!
Her sudden move caught everyone off guard, knocking Debra off balance.
Debra fell on her back, like a turtle flipped on its shell, almost exposing herself!
The surrounding servants couldn't help but laugh secretly!
"Molly!" Debra was so mad she felt like her insides were twisting. She quickly got up from the ground, the overwhelming shame and anger making her want to tear Molly apart!
"Someone come quick! Hold her down! Hurry!" At Debra's command, two burly maids who usually served her and Tiffany rushed over, grabbing Molly from both sides.
"Let go! Let go of me!" Molly's eyes were red, and she struggled desperately. But her arms and legs were weak, and her feet were already off the ground!
"No one can save you now!" Debra's bloodshot eyes widened as she rolled up her sleeves and slapped Molly's left cheek hard!
Molly instantly felt a blackness before her eyes, groaning in pain, her thin nightgown soaked in cold sweat!
Seeing her in pain, Debra suddenly felt a great sense of satisfaction!
A long-suppressed anger in her chest was finally vented on Molly's weak body!
"How can one red cheek look good? Let me give you another one!" With that, Debra raised her hand to slap Molly's right cheek.
"Don't touch her!" A cold and sharp voice suddenly rang out!
Everyone looked towards the door, gasping in shock!
Debra heard the familiar voice, her heart almost leaping out of her chest in fear!
She wanted to quickly lower her raised arm, but it was too late.
A tall, imposing figure, exuding an aura of boundless killing intent and coldness, walked through the villa's door.
"Eric." Debra quickly withdrew her hand, her previously ferocious face instantly becoming obedient and gentle.
Molly opened her tear-blurred eyes, watching Eric walk towards her without looking aside. She instantly felt all her strength leave her, as if she had been freed from a sea of suffering, and gently sighed. "Eric."
The weak call made Eric's eyes turn red, a hint of madness sweeping through them.
In an instant, his breathing became heavy, as he felt his heart was being torn apart.
