Chapter 1344
Dorian sprinted over, his little hands pushing against Susan’s leg with all his might. Tilting his head back and sticking out his neck, he shouted up at her, “Don’t you dare talk smack about my dad in front of my mom!”
From out of nowhere, Elowen produced a raw egg and, with a flick of her wrist, pelted it squarely onto Susan’s face. The egg exploded, covering Susan’s face in a gooey mess.
Hands on her hips, Elowen scowled and warned in a feisty tone, “Bad lady, beat it or I’ll keep serving you eggs!”
Susan shivered as the egg dripped down her cheeks, raising a hand to wipe the mess from her face and revealing a twisted, furious expression. She glared down at the children.
“You little brats asking for trouble, throwing eggs at my face! You’re just like your mothers, tossed aside by men and left with nothing but trouble!”
“Shut your mouth!”
“Smack!”
Overcome by a surge of hatred and fueled by her grief, Thalassa’s body, previously weakened by sorrow, now surged with anger and strength. She rushed forward and slapped Susan right across the face.
The slap sent Susan staggering backward, her head snapping to the side. Her ears rang, her mind went blank.
Her face, smeared with egg, bore the angry red imprint of Thalassa’s hand, twisted in anger like a grotesque mask.

Thalassa was already drained by the pain of Evelyn’s loss. She had used up her last reserves of energy with that slap.

stopping her in her tracks.
His presence was commanding, his angular face stern and authoritative.
The moment Thalassa saw him, her heart ached, each breath sharp as a blade.
“Who do you think you’re going to kill?” His voice was cold and full of menace.
“Lysander, I…uh…” Susan’s vicious expression melted away as she saw him. She scrambled for words to defend herself, but before she could speak, she was kicked away by Lysander.
She was sent flying, landing on the ground like a rag doll, her body aching as if it had fallen apart. She winced, then crawled towards Lysander, desperate to explain herself, “Lysander, I was just trying to scare her, I didn’t really mean to kill her. Lysander, I did it for you. Remember, when Thalassa wanted to take you out, I was the one who saved was ready to die for you. Can’t you see my devotion?”
