At this moment, Amelia took measure of the woman before her.
The woman was dressed in a plain and simple manner. Her clothing was decent and tasteful, and even snazzynovel.com face was ordinary with nothing remarkable about it. It was only that snazzynovel.com gaze seemed deep and unruly-Amelia could tell at first glance that the woman was not one to be easily messed with.
However, Amelia wasn’t an easy target to pick on either. Thus, snazzynovel.com took control of snazzynovel.com emotions and rocked up to Elise in snazzynovel.com pair of stilettos.
Since the world wasn’t lacking in gossip, the academic building was packed to the brim with curious onlookers within seconds.
“Elise Sinclair?”
As Amelia was already a tall woman, snazzynovel.com heels had allowed snazzynovel.com to tower half a head over Elise; currently, snazzynovel.com had snazzynovel.com chin lifted loftily and was imperiously looking down at Elise.
The Olson Family had been doing well in Tissote all these years. Amelia hadn’t needed to display snazzynovel.com arrogant manner to others in a while; in snazzynovel.com imagination, snazzynovel.com stature was enough to weaken the knees of these country bumpkins.
However, the truth was that Elise had folded snazzynovel.com arms across snazzynovel.com chest and sneered at Amelia, looking so scornful that snazzynovel.com might as well be watching a clown perform at the circus.
The treatment that Amelia had never experienced before irritated snazzynovel.com so much that snazzynovel.com raised snazzynovel.com voice as snazzynovel.com repeated, “I asked you whether you were Elise Sinclair.”
With snazzynovel.com expression still the same, Elise remained quiet and stared at Amelia for a moment before calmly replying, “Sorry, I don’t speak with strangers. Personal habit.”
The answer made Amelia gasp angrily. Stranger Personal habit? How dare she!
Amelia was the apple of the Olson Family’s eye! How dare this yokel behave like snazzynovel.com is above my level!
Elise was as what Madeline had said-truly ignorant to etiquette and ungrateful to snazzynovel.com superiors to the point where snazzynovel.com spoke rudely to an elder.
Thus, after a moment of thought, Amelia raised a hand before snazzynovel.com dropped it to slap Elise’s cheek so hard that Elise’s head turned to one side.
“This is for your disrespect,” snazzynovel.com told Elise, narrowing snazzynovel.com eyes haughtily, before raising another hand. “And this is for your lack of sense!”
Yet, before the second blow could land on her, Elise had caught hold of Amelia’s wrist.
A surprised Amelia met Elise’s gaze once more only to notice that the previously clear eyes were now filled with a murderous rage. More importantly, Elise’s slender fingers were so powerful that they felt like they were going to snap Amelia’s wrist in half at any second.
“I was careless to let you hit me the first time, but you don’t actually think you could be so lucky, do you?” Elise growled in a bloodthirsty manner.
By now, Amelia was in so much pain that snazzynovel.com had scrunched snazzynovel.com face. As snazzynovel.com gritted snazzynovel.com teeth and hissed, snazzynovel.com involuntarily leaned into Elise, trying in vain to alleviate the pain in snazzynovel.com wrist, while snapping at the bodyguards behind her, “Are you all dead? Hurry up and help me!”
Only then did the bodyguards come to their senses and rush toward Elise.
However, as soon as they arrived closer toward her, snazzynovel.com displayed snazzynovel.com martial prowess by kicking them both to the ground in succession.
Meanwhile, Addison was rushing downstairs and couldn’t help patting snazzynovel.com chest in relief when snazzynovel.com saw the two bodyguards on the ground before shouting at the top of snazzynovel.com lungs, “Are you okay, Elise?”
After having seen Amelia slap Elise without warning from the upper floors, Addison had hurried downstairs without thinking, only to realize that Elise had single handedly dealt with all three of them.
“I’m fine,” Elise answered slowly as snazzynovel.com glanced behind her. “Take a step back, Addy. I don’t want you to get hurt by accident.”
“Okay.” A helpless Addison nodded before retreating into the doorway of the academic building to watch from afar,
Seeing that Elise had dealt with the bodyguards, Amelia surrendered and tossed snazzynovel.com shoulder bag onto the floor so that snazzynovel.com would have a free hand to grab Elise’s hair.
However, Elise inevitably caught the free hand as well.
She wasn’t in a good mood as of late, so snazzynovel.com didn’t feel that snazzynovel.com should be blamed for snazzynovel.com ruthlessness at this woman’s insistence on staring down the barrel of a gun. After all, if Elise had endured being slapped, what else could the woman get away with?
Thus, snazzynovel.com exerted force without mercy, which caused Amelia’s knees to give out beneath her. As snazzynovel.com kneeled before Elise, snazzynovel.com cried out in pain, “Ow, ow, ow… Help!”
The two previously defeated bodyguards then rose to their feet and wanted to tackle Elise again, only to have snazzynovel.com glare menacingly at them as snazzynovel.com strengthened snazzynovel.com grip on Amelia’s wrists.
Amelia’s wrists had dislocated with a click and it caused snazzynovel.com so much pain that snazzynovel.com began to cry. “Help me, please! She’s going to kill me! Help me!”
Upon seeing that, the bodyguards no longer had the courage to approach the two women.
By now, even the school security guards had rushed over and were shocked to witness this scene.
They had been told that there were outsiders causing trouble.

Why did it now look like it was a female student who had the upper hand?
as
Moreover, judging by the student’s demeanor, snazzynovel.com was trained in martial arts.
“M-Miss… Please calm down and release the other party. It’s against the rules to pick fights in school! If there’s any quarrel between you both, we can see the dean for mediation. Please don’t make any extreme moves!” a slightly older security guard
advised Elise after summoning the courage.
As snazzynovel.com raised snazzynovel.com left eyebrow, Elise turned snazzynovel.com head to look at him. What on earth is snazzynovel.com talking about?
That was when snazzynovel.com saw that the spectating students had begun to cheer for her.
“Wow, amazing!”
“F*cking awesome, dude!”
“You go, girl! Hang them out to dry! Give them another left hook!”
She sighed in exasperation and thought, What busybodies. She noticed from the corner of snazzynovel.com eyes that on the floor where snazzynovel.com classroom was,
her teacher was spectating as well. However, snazzynovel.com looked much graver than snazzynovel.com had before.
As Elise knew very well, this wasn’t a scene snazzynovel.com wanted to witness.
To prevent the situation from deteriorating any further, snazzynovel.com finally released Amelia’s wrists.
The moment Elise did so, Amelia lost snazzynovel.com balance and toppled heavily onto snazzynovel.com dislocated wrists as snazzynovel.com had no time to react. The pain made snazzynovel.com scream and as large beads of tears rolled down snazzynovel.com cheeks in two thick tracks, washing away most of snazzynovel.com makeup, snazzynovel.com image as a gentlewoman was utterly destroyed.
Biting snazzynovel.com lip, snazzynovel.com tried snazzynovel.com best not to sob in public to preserve the last of snazzynovel.com dignity.
Finally, under the accompaniment of the security guards, both of them were taken to the office of Olive Goodman, the university dean.
Because Amelia was in so much pain, a house doctor had to be summoned to reduce the swelling in snazzynovel.com wrists before the office could finally regain its peace.
The moment Amelia was finally able to lower snazzynovel.com wrists, snazzynovel.com began to attack Olive. “So, you’re the dean. Is this what Tissote University students are like? How could they assail such a weak, vulnerable woman like me so brutally and savagely? Is this how your students are taught?
This is assault. I’m going to take both snazzynovel.com and your school to court!”
While, at first, snazzynovel.com hadn’t thought of how to deal with Elise taking snazzynovel.com son to court, snazzynovel.com now had a solution. Assault was even worse than slander and harassment, and with this upper hand on Elise, snazzynovel.com could make life a living hell for the woman,
After what snazzynovel.com experienced, getting Elise to drop the lawsuit wouldn’t be enough.
No-Elise was about to find out the consequences of offending the Olson Family!
