Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 88

"Back off," Lilith warned with a tone sharp as a blade. "What, you gonna hit me back?"

She couldn't fathom Drusilla daring to lay a finger on her. She was Lilith Larkin, the granddaughter of the prestigious Taylor family. Kendrick Larkin, her father, was a man of considerable influence.

And her uncle Enoch, another figure of authority in their circle!

In Creston City, who wouldn't bend over backward for her?

And Drusilla thinks she can cross her? After everything she's done to Enoch, now she wants a piece of Lilith too? She must have a death wish!

Drusilla, unfazed by Lilith's lofty demeanor, swung her hand, landing a slap across Lilith's face.

Unlike Lilith's feeble threats, Drusilla's slap packed a punch, knocking Lilith back a couple of steps. Harlan caught Lilith, turning to Drusilla with disbelief. "Drusilla, are you out of your mind?"

Glancing at her palm and then at Lilith, Drusilla said, "Consider that slap a wake-up call. Being naive can get you burned, and as your aunt, I can't just stand by and watch you spiral, can I?"

Livid, Lilith spat out, "Drusilla!"

She was truly enraged! Shrugging off Harlan's grip, she lunged forward, aiming to retaliate.

She never expected Drusilla to actually go through with it! The slap left her cheek tingling with numbness.

Instinctively, she reached for Drusilla's hand, but Drusilla countered, grabbing her hair, "You were asking for it, weren't you?" Drusilla locked eyes with her. "Your uncle warned you, and as your aunt, it's within my right to discipline you. Shall I take over for him today?"

"What's going on here?" A man's voice cut through the tension, his presence commanding. Two assistants flanked him, clearly part of his entourage.
