Teresa turned at the commotion and spotted Yolanda standing atop a rock, jabbing her finger at Zane’s head while hurling a stream of obscenities.
Without hesitation, Teresa strode over, clenching her fingers so tightly her knuckles turned white.
Silently, rage churned inside her—‘Just who does she think she is?‘ Teresa fumed to herself.
But before Teresa could get even a few feet closer to Yolanda, Monica came charging out of nowhere.
Without hesitation, Monica lunged straight at Yolanda, knocking her off the rock and slamming her down onto the ground.
Monica didn’t pull any punches. While Yolanda was still stunned, Monica climbed on top of her, raining hard slaps down onto her face and body.
Yolanda was your typical sheltered rich girl–fighting just wasn’t in her repertoire. outmatched from the start.

Monica, she was helpless, completely
The ruckus from the two girls brawling wasn’t quiet at all. Even Naomi, who was laser–focused on breaking the ice with Troy, couldn’t help but frown at the noise, clearly irritated by the interruption.
Naomi strode over to where Yolanda was getting beaten, calling out, “Monica, do you realize what you’re doing? If Charles finds out about this, you think you won’t get into serious trouble?”
Her words were clearly aimed at Teresa, using Charles’s name to pressure her into stepping in and breaking up the fight.
But Teresa didn’t move a muscle; she just stared coldly, letting Monica keep hitting Yolanda.
Yolanda was sobbing hysterically, but she kept threatening through her tears, “Monica, if you don’t stop, I’ll have my dad take you out— he’ll wipe out your whole family!”
Monica wasn’t fazed in the slightest–she just kept pummeling
landa, completely ignoring her threats.
In the end, Yolanda’s bravado faded fast; her fierce threats shrank to pitiful whimpers, until her voice was barely more than a whisper.
Naomi started to really freak out. She was terrified Monica might go way overboard and actually beat Yolanda up for real–if something actually happened to Yolanda, how on earth was she supposed to explain that to Charles?
Se Naomi hurried over, ready to stop the fight herself.
But suddenly, Teresa reached out and grabbed her arm, blocking her way.
Naomi whipped around to Teresa, her face twisted in disbelief, and snapped, “Teresa! Yolanda’s your own daughter–are you really just gonna stand there and let her get mauled like this? Maybe even killed? Is this what passes for motherhood to you?*
Teresa gave Naomi a cold, poisonous stare–her eyes like daggers dipped in venom.
Her voice could freeze someone solid. “She brought this on herself. She gets what she deserves.”
Naomi paused, stunned. Teresa, you…”

Naomi knew there was no way she could break up the fight now, so she just backed off and started hoping Monica wouldn’t go too crazy.
She thought to herself, As long as Monica doesn’t actually hurt her, whatever.
Yolanda wasn’t her kid, so honestly, Naomi couldn’t care less.
Watching Yolanda get pummeled, Naomi secretly kind of enjoyed it.
Meanwhile, after being called a little bastard, Zane quietly wiped his tears and slipped back over, doing his best to keep a low profile.
Seeing Monica straddling Yolanda, Zane instantly realized she was fighting for him–Monica totally had his back.
Judging by the state Yolanda was in, she’d clearly been taking a beating for more than just a minute.
So Zane anxiously stepped forward and pleaded, “Monica, stop it! If you keep hitting her, someone’s going to get seriously hurt!”
Monica’s fists finally stilled when she heard Zane’s shout.
Drenched in sweat and breathing heavily, Monica climbed off Yolanda and headed straight for Zane.
Yolanda lay on the ground, not caring about her image anymore, just wailing openly.
When Teresa heard Yolanda’s cries, her heart clenched so painfully she could hardly breathe.
Naomi darted past Teresa and Troy, running over to Yolanda’s side.
Monica strode up to Zane, her knuckles still reeking of blood, and threw her hand onto his shoulder.
“If she dares to mouth off at you again, just tell me,” Monica said fiercely. “I swear, I’ll tear her a new one myself.”
Zane felt all warm inside, but when he saw Monica’s hair sticking out in every direction, he couldn’t help teasing, “Monica, you look like such a tomboy right now.”
Monica smacked him on the head. “You wanna die?”
Zane instinctively threw his hands up to shield his head. “Sorry, I’m sorry!”
Monica finally pulled her hand–back, looking pleased. “That’s better.”
Zane lowered his hands and looked at Monica with total sincerity. “Thanks, Mia.”
Monica cringed and shot him a dramatic eye roll. “Ugh, shut up already.”
Zane actually zipped his lips after that and didn’t say another word.
Meanwhile, Naomi went up to Yolanda, bending down as if to hug her.
But before her hand could even reach Yolanda, Yolanda clambered up and dashed straight into the woods.
She kept crying as she ran.
Seeing this. Nacani could only chase after her. feeling utterly powerless
After Monica finished talking to Zane, she finally picked up on Teresa’s strange, beary most
