At that moment, everyone in the room was completely stunned.
Clara was especially shocked. She never imagined Zoe would throw family honor out the window like this.
After all, living in Jelonsburg's elite circles, where everyone was obsessed with appearances and status, reputation meant everything.
For a rich heiress, her reputation was basically her designer label and her entire social standing rolled into one.
Fuming, Clara immediately wanted to rush over and give Zoe a hard slap.
But before she could even take a step, Zoe spun around and shoved her several feet back without a second thought.
Zoe couldn't care less about Clara right now. She didn't have time for Clara. Her only focus was Sophia.
Alex warned, "Don't come any closer. I don't care if you're a woman. I'll take you down just the same."
Simon jumped in, fists ready. "Alex, what's the point in talking to someone like her? Just hit her."
But Anna quickly stepped in to stop him. "Enough, all of you. Let's talk this out. Violence isn't the answer."
Sophia's voice trembled as she clung to Anna. "Mom, she barged into our house and even threatened to... to kill me. Shouldn't we kick her out?"
"Yeah, Mom, just leave it to us," Alex chimed in.
Before anyone knew what was happening, Zoe was making her move.
"Watch out." At the crucial moment, Simon jumped in to block her.
He launched himself forward, aiming a kick to stop Zoe and trying to catch her off guard, but his sneak attack didn't work.
Instead, Zoe grabbed his ankle in one swift motion and flung him straight out.
With a loud thud, Simon crashed into the crowd, knocking over a bunch of people like dominoes.
He wasn't hurt, but he got tossed around by a girl in front of everyone. His pride was in shambles.
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but laugh, making Simon's face turn bright red. Simon shouted, "Samuel, Alex, stop just standing there. She's tougher than she looks. Hurry up and stop her."
But before he even finished, Zoe had already grabbed Samuel and Alex by the shoulders, one in each hand, and, without giving them a chance to react, flung them out in front of everyone's stunned faces. They didn't even get a chance to fight back.
With them out of the picture, Zoe found herself face-to-face with Anna.
As their eyes met, Zoe was struck by a strange sense of familiarity.
She paused for a moment, caught off guard, but didn't dwell on it. Instead, she reached out and yanked Sophia out from behind Anna.
"What are you doing? What do you want? Let me go. Hurting someone in public is a crime in Clusia. Even if you have Shawn on your side, he won't be able to save you," Sophia shrieked, her voice trembling with fear.
Without hesitation, Zoe raised her hand and slapped Sophia hard across the face.
The slap was so forceful it nearly knocked out Sophia's back teeth.
Clutching her cheek in pain, Sophia still hadn't realized how much trouble she was in. Tears streaming down her face, she wailed, "How dare you hit me!"
"Stop. Don't you dare hurt Sophia," Samuel shouted.
But Zoe paid no attention to anyone else. She spoke again, her voice cold and clear for everyone to hear, "Sophia, of all the things you could've done, you should never have messed with my people."
'She really is here for revenge. What am I supposed to do?' Sophia thought. Staring into Zoe's icy eyes, Sophia felt her palms break out in a cold sweat.
A wave of panic and helplessness swept over her, leaving her frozen in place, unable to move a muscle.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You say Sophia killed over three hundred people and then hurt your people? Sophia hasn't left the house in years. How could she kill anyone? If you keep this up, I'm calling security." Anna stepped forward to block Zoe.
But Zoe just gave a cool, mocking smile. "Nonsense? Then why don't you ask Sophia what she has done?"
Clara was especially shocked. She never imagined Zoe would throw family honor out the window like this.
