Chapter 128
She grabbed Jasmin and headed straight to the Trevino’s house.
When they got to the Trevino’s house, Vanessa banged on the door and yelled, “Lizzie! Get out here!”
Her yelling immediately attracted the neighbors, who all stuck their heads out to see.
Two guys who drive cars have already come looking for Lizzie. They thought Lizzie must be cool and maybe could help them out now and get some benefits later.
Plus, this time it was two women, and they all came out one after another.
“What’s going on? Who are you guys, cursing here? If you dare to cause trouble, we’ll call the police!” Larissa next door shouted loudly, trying to scare them away.
Even two women, Lizzie, a delicate little girl, couldn’t beat…
Um, neither of the two big guys touched her, so she shouldn’t have suffered any losses, right?
Vanessa had already started yelling arrogantly, “Go ahead and tell on me! I want everyone to see what an ungrateful person Lizzie is! Lizzie, where did Theron do you wrong? Why are you trying to harm him like this? Have you forgotten that when Aedan died, it was Theron who stayed by your side and took care of you!”
Lizzie opened the door.

Vanessa brought Jasmin and they stood at the Trevino’s house like two bouncers, hands on hips, spitting fire.
Lizzie came out slowly with a cane.
“Why didn’t you say that it was Aedan who covered for him so he could come back alive?”
Vanessa choked, avoiding eye contact with Lizzie, “That, that was the army’s decision, poor Aedan!”
Lizzie chuckled, “I just realized that dying for your country is unlucky.”
People nowadays have filters on researchers, and martyrs who died in the line of duty are wearing double–layered filters.
Everyone got angry when they heard what Vanessa said.
Pamela rushed up to Lizzie, stood in front of her, pointed at Vanessa’s nose and scolded, “Is your son a researcher too? So rude, aren’t you afraid your son will have ‘bad luck‘ one day too?”
Although she was angry and didn’t like Theron at first, she didn’t curse him either.
But Vanessa was not happy, “What are you talking about!”
“You are insulting researchers!”
“You insulted the martyrs!”
Pamela wasn’t afraid of Vanessa, she just fired back.
When Aedan was still around, he helped her chop firewood.
What a great guy!
She thought Aedan just passed away, but it turned out he died. protecting that heartless Theron!
Aedan covered for him, and Theron just treated Aedan’s sister like that!
Ugh!
Disgraceful researchers!
Vanessa was so angry that she immediately opened her hands and lunged at Pamela, ready to fight.
Pamela wasn’t afraid of her either, she reached out and grabbed
Vanessa’s hair.
Lizzie and Vanessa had been together for a lifetime, knowing that Pamela’s fighting spirit was definitely no match for Vanessa, who was used to brawling with people in the countryside.
How could she let the person protecting her get hurt?
Before Vanessa could react, she pushed Pamela aside and lunged at Vanessa’s chest, hitting her sternum.
Vanessa got hit and yelled in pain, then stepped back.
Onlookers saw the situation, but instead of helping her, they just stepped aside, letting her step back. She lost her balance, fell to the ground, and took a hard fall.
“Mom!” Jasmin called out and hurried to help her.
Vanessa wanted to stand up, but her tailbone was hurting.
“She hit me! Lizzie hit me! I’m gonna tell on you too!”
21:06)
“Did I hit someone? Do you have any witnesses?”
Vanessa looked around, and when others saw her looking, they all turned away.
Obviously, even if the police came, they wouldn’t testify for her.
“You! You!” Vanessa was so angry that she couldn’t say a word for a long time.
Instead, because of the heavy breathing, the chest pain got worse.
She covered her chest, pointed at Lizzie, wanted to scold but couldn’t speak because of the severe chest pain.
Lizzie lifted her cane and pushed away the hand reaching towards her.
“Do you still want Theron to come out?”
Vanessa froze, didn’t even have time to scream in pain.
Lizzie continued, “Now you come to me to make trouble, aren’t you afraid? If you keep causing trouble like this, I’ll get even angrier and write something else to get him punished even more.”
“How could you be so cruel!”
Lizzie glanced casually in the direction of the alley.
“And are you sure you dare to leave Equinox Hospital now? Aren’t you afraid that the Frazier family will come looking for you again?”
When people mentioned the Frazier family, Vanessa immediately thought of that night’s experience.
She couldn’t help but shiver, and her face turned white in an instant.
