At this moment, I was shaking with anger.
Sophia put on a look of false remorse and said, "Camila, I'm sorry. Harvey is just a little mischievous. He got too excited after coming here and ended up making a mess."
"But these things are useless now, aren't they? It doesn’t matter if they get thrown away. Don’t take a child’s actions so seriously."
She saw the anger in my eyes and deliberately fanned the flames, provoking me.
I knew exactly what she was trying to do. She wanted me to lose my composure in front of Simon so she could drive a deeper wedge between us.
Well, I would gladly grant her wish.
I slapped her hard.
Sophia stumbled backward, clutching her face in shock. She looked at me in disbelief, as if she never expected that I would actually dare to strike her so fiercely in front of Simon.
Her son, Harvey, erupted in fury. "You bitch! How dare you hit my mother! You’ll die a miserable…"
Before he could finish, my patience snapped. I kicked him away with full force, sending him flying several meters.
Before I could land another blow, Simon rushed over in a rage and struck me across the face.
The slap left me stunned.
