Sure enough, such a subject was much more fascinating, for the rest of the Mitchells started taunting Linus viciously as soon as they heard that he favored men. âI didnât know that heâs a f*ggot!â
âWell, thereâs this sayingâGod gave you a drill, yet youâre using it to stir sh*t!â
âHey, hey, you might be wrong there. He might be the catcher. Hahaâ¦â
âHow I wish to yank his pants down and see whether heâll be in heat like a b*tch and spread his legs whenever he sees a man!â
The nasty remarks that would drive even a saint to anger fell into Sophia and Linusâ ears. Linus initially didnât want to make trouble here, but he could no longer stand it. Unexpectedly, before heâd even made a move, Sandra, whoâd been all triumphant, felt a wave of intense pain shooting through her scalp. In the next instance, she felt her world turning upside down as her exquisite face was plastered to the ground while she was yet unaware. To top it all, Sophiaâs high heel was pinning her head to the ground.
Sandra opened her mouth, but before sheâd made a single sound, she heard Sophiaâs snide voice drifting into her ears. âGo ahead and scream. Get everyone here to see how pathetic you are beneath my feet!â Sophia hadnât wanted a fight, but they actually dared to use Linusâ sexual orientation to humiliate him. If it werenât for the shred of sanity left within her, she wouldâve long since strangled her to death.
Sandra didnât dare yell for fear of losing her dignity. After all, there was a high heel on her head, and Sophia still had her hair firmly in her grip. The slightest movement had a bolt of agony lancing through her, so she could only bitterly call out for help. âCome and help me, quick!â
The rest of the Mitchells were dumbfounded. Sophiaâs movements earlier were simply too swift that it was mere seconds between her making a move and Sandra being pinned to the ground. It was only now that they thought of helping, but it was already too late, for a crowd had amassed behind Sophia while they were stunned silly.
The ones who stood in front were Justin, Dimon, Vincent, Derek, and Drake Mitchell. Besides, there was also a drove of bodyguards, all strapping members of the Mitchell Family. As the two opposing factions confronted each other, their eyes blazed with hatred.
âYouâre a traitor, Vincent Mitchell!â someone on the opposite side instantly lambasted while pointing a finger at Vincent.
Vincent, however, gave a nonchalant chuckle. âIâm not a traitor of the Mitchell Family.â Iâm a Mitchell by birth, and Iâm loyal to Cooper, so Iâve got nothing to be ashamed of!
Pinned on the ground, Sandra immediately caught sight of Derek, who was standing on Sophiaâs side, and she grew all the more pissed.
Conversely, Derek no longer gave a fig about her. Back then, Sandra ruthlessly erased her heinous past by having someone mow down her biological mother and uncle just to preserve her glamorous identity as the young lady of the Mitchell Family. While her biological mother and uncle deserved their fate for using her as an ATM machine, Derek was still an Oak back then, and he wasnât even 18 years old yet.
He abruptly became an orphan with no shelter and food, yet she didnât even care. If Sophia hadnât taken him home, given him a shower, fed, and even sent him to school, he would probably be on the streets now!
Justin was quite powerful among the Mitchells, so he crossed his arms and said to those on the opposite side, âWell? Go on and make a move. Why arenât you fighting? Itâs Mr. Osborneâs exhibition today, so we donât mind offending him. After all, we arenât the ones interested in becoming his live-in son-in-law. If you all ruin his exhibition, however, you might be out of the running.â
Snickering, Derek added, âAnd I donât recommend calling for security. After all, if people were to know that the high and mighty Young Lady Mitchell is pinned to the ground, itâll be a great humiliation. At that time, Miss Osborne will disdain you guys!â
The Mitchells on the other side looked at each other. On second thought, they have numbers on their side, so itâll be an embarrassment to fight, not to mention that we might not win. Justin alone can defeat us, so itâll be mortifying if we were to be pinned to the ground later. Hence, they closed ranks and blocked other peopleâs inquisitive gazes. After all, it was better to have Sandra beaten up furtively than to have it known publicly.
Sophia was very much considerate as well, pummeling Sandra within the constrained area so as not to humiliate the Mitchells. âApologize!â Yanking her hair mercilessly, she shoved her to the ground to have her kneel before Linus.
However, Sandra was still exceedingly conceited. âYou want me to apologize to a disgusting gay man?
Dream on! Itâs a real shame that the Mitchell Family has someone like you! How sickening! You embarrass the entire family! Youâre just as repulsive as Sean!â
How dare she say that Linus is repulsive? Sophia found Sandra all the more repulsive. Pressing her head and face against the ground, Sophia rained punches and kicks on her. Yet, Sandra didnât dare make a single peep, afraid that sheâd attract attention and humiliate herself.
When Sophia was done hitting her, she again smashed her face against the ground. âIf my memory serves me right, Miss Mitchell, you publicly expressed your support for the LGBT group a few days ago to attract fans. The little speech you gave during the interview was a polar opposite of what youâre saying today, so your hypocritical and putrid attitude stinks even worse than sh*t!â
Recently, Sandra had gone to great lengths to market herself in the industry, going wherever the wind blew; at one time, she opposed the consumption of dog meat before moving to express her support for the pride parade out of the blue, then advocated the acceptance of Middle East refugees by the Cethosian government in addition to becoming an ambassador for women and children. In short, she truly acted as though she was a saint! In front of the public, she put on a loving act, but behind it all, she still had a foul mouth that had an even worse stink than a decaying corpse!
Sandra opened her mouth to say something else, but Sophia raised her hand and slapped her mouth.
âYou can choose not to apologize to my brother today, but Iâll warn you today that God is watching you!â
Without giving her a chance to say anything, Sophia again slapped her mouth until her face grew swollen.
At this time, Linus stopped her. âOkay, thatâs enough. Donât hit her anymore,â he urged. When the others thought that he was feeling sorry for Sandra, he unexpectedly took Sophiaâs hand. Upon seeing that it was all red, his heart clenched. âLook, your hand is all red by now, so donât hit her anymore. Shae, come here and slap her on behalf of Sophia. Just make sure that she doesnât die,â he ordered.
Then, Shae marched out from the corner and took over for Sophia, giving Sandra a few hard slaps. The pain was so severe that Sandra passed out. After she fainted, the rest of the Mitchells on Sandraâs side summoned their bodyguards and had her surreptitiously carried away under the watchful stares of the other Mitchells.
As they gazed at the bodyguards on this side of the MitchellsâDrake in particularâtheir eyes brimmed with envy. In the past, when we all gorged ourselves on grilled skewers and played poker, Drake was the one guarding the door. He also had to address everyone subserviently, but after heâd gone over to Cooper Mitchellâs side with his family, heâs a celebrity now! Yet, weâre still lowly bodyguards, one of them thought.
Another Mitchell on Sandraâs side thought, Look at them. Though theyâre just bodyguards, theyâre still dressed finely. Their leather belts, watches, and leather shoes are all branded! Any one of them are outfitted in full attires worth tens of thousands, yet weâre wearing a uniform worth only a few thousand, courtesy of Alex Mitchell. Theyâve got an annual salary and are even allocated quarters in Bayside City.
And rumor has it that they get to have an overseas vacation every quarter. Those who are handsome even have the opportunity to go for an audition with the familyâs son-in-law, Michael Fletcher, and might become a celebrity like Drake! Also, their young lady is so domineering! And their young master⦠is much more handsome than our young master! In a nutshell, they have everything better!
