Terror seized me. I lunged to shield him, but security slammed me into the carpet, pinning my limbs down.
"Leon!"
Zoe rushed to save her husband, but Jasmine caught her arm in a vice grip.
"Didn't expect an old hag like you to afford Hermès." Jasmine's eyes raked over her. "Your whole family's been sucking Tony dry for years, haven't you?"
"You cheap tramp!" Zoe's voice shook. "What exactly is your relationship with our Anthony?"
Even now, she refused to believe her son would cheat.
Jasmine smirked down at her. "I own this restaurant. And I'm Anthony Sanchez's current girlfriend." A cruel laugh escaped her. "Your useless daughter-in-law? On her way out."
Zoe trembled with rage. "What nonsense—"
She raised her hand to slap the younger woman, but Jasmine struck first. The blow sent Zoe crumbling to the floor.
"Mom!" I screamed.
Zoe had a severe heart condition. The shock triggered it instantly. She clutched her chest, gasping, curling into a ball of agony.
"Zoe!" Leon tried to crawl toward her, dragging his battered body across the floor. Jasmine's heel came down on his hand, crushing his fingers.
I struggled against the guards. Their grip was iron.
