But to Theron, she was just a given.
Theron thought of the scene when Lizzie was holding a child and standing with Oswaldo at the police station.
Vanessa just said that if she found a new place, she would stab him in the heart again.
His eyes were red, his voice hoarse, “Have you already found a new place to go?”
Lizzie’s temper “flared” up in an instant.
She stood up abruptly and, before anyone could react, she raised her hand and slapped Theron!
“Pap!”
“If you’re dirty, then you’ll think everyone else is dirty too!”
No one expected Lizzie to throw punches.
The crisp sound of a slap exploded in the noisy restaurant, and the air froze for a moment.
Vanessa’s smug smile froze on her face, then turned into a grimace in an instant.
She was like a mother/hen, squawking and rushing towards Lizzie.
“You’ve got to be kidding! How dare you hit my son!”
Oswaldo stood up almost the moment Vanessa made a move, took a

big step with his long legs, and stood in front of Lizzie, blocking her off completely.
Theron covered his hot checks and when Vanessa rushed over, he grabbed her and blocked her.
“Mom! Stop it!”
Vanessa was stopped by him, and she was so angry!
She pointed at Lizzie and yelled, “She hit you! And you’re still defending her? Theron, are you out of your mind?”
Theron didn’t dare to look into Lizzie’s eyes. When he blurted out that sentence, he realized he was wrong.
His Adam’s apple bobbed as he struggled to say, “I’m sorry.”
Vanessa heard he actually apologized to Lizzie, she was so angry that she shook all over and pushed him.
“What are you apologizing to her for! She’s the one who hit you! And you’re still apologizing to her?”
Theron stood in front of Lizzie, not backing down.
Johanna watched Theron protect Lizzie like that, and she was so mad. But, in front of so many people, she had to keep up her elegant and graceful image.
She took a deep breath and gently advised, “Mom, don’t be impulsive. It’s not good for Theron if things get out of hand.”
Then she turned to Lizzie, acting like a hostess, “Lizzie, today is our big day, I know you’re not happy, but causing a scene like this is not appropriate. Why don’t you go back first?”

Lizzie looked at her coldly, with a hint of sarcasm playing at the corner of her mouth.
“Why did I have to leave? You guys came looking for trouble, feeling embarrassed afterwards, and then made me leave? Is this restaurant owned by you guys? I came here to spend money on food, why should I leave.”
Her gaze swept towards Johanna, full of sarcasm, not giving Johanna any face.
Johanna’s smile couldn’t hold on for long, a hint of bitterness flashed in her eyes.
Vanessa saw Lizzie acting so arrogant, she was furious.
She pushed Theron hard, pointing at Lizzie’s nose and yelling.
“You’re so aggressive! I’m calling the police right now! They’ll arrest you, crazy woman! You’ll be eating prison food!”
Before, she got Lizzie locked up for a day, now she’s gonna get Lizzie caught!
There was quite a commotion in the restaurant. Soon a crowd gathered.
Suddenly, someone behind the crowd shouted, “Oh, Mr. Howland actually got married to someone else within a month!”
Her voice was loud, and when people around heard it, they knew she was in the know, so they all started asking what was going on.
She immediately spilled the beans about Theron moving on to someone new without letting go of his old flame.
Everyone was listening with great interest, and Vanessa’s cheeks

instantly turned an ugly shade of liver.
“You gossiping woman, what nonsense are you talking about here!” she shouted, then immediately rushed over to tear apart that
incessantly chattering mouth!
Theron reacted quickly, grabbing Vanessa tightly as she lost control of her emotions.
“Mom! Stop it!”
The neighbor lady saw Vanessa about to lose her temper, knowing she’s a troublemaker. She rolled her eyes, muttered a few nasty words under her breath, then slipped away from the crowd as if her feet were coated in oil.
But in the crowd, the discussion about Theron did not stop because of this.
Vanessa was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down. “What are you looking at! Lizzie is not good enough for Theron, that’s why Theron doesn’t want her! They broke up, why can’t Theron remarry! You guys don’t know anything, stop talking nonsense, or I’ll call the troops to arrest you!”
Facing Vanessa who was furious, the others had seen enough drama and were ready to leave.
Just then, Zackery came back with Vivian, who had bought lollipops.
