The store manager gave the store assistants a meaningful look. She would never allow anyone to
cause a commotion in the store.
The next moment, all of the store assistants gathered around Gwendolyn. Julian and Justin fixated their
gazes on them, fearing that their mother would not be able to handle the situation.
Both of them glared icily at the bad guys. If those people attacked their mother collectively, they would
need to assist her.
Nevertheless, Gwendolyn did not give them a chance. When the two store assistants stepped forward,
she threw them out, sending them crashing into the glass window. The pain in the backs of the two
women was excruciating. They touched their backs and gave up trying to move forward.
As the store manager realized Gwendolyn was skilled in combat, she pulled out her phone and went to
the entrance to call the security guards.
Noticing that everyone was terrified of Gwendolyn, Candace struggled and uttered, “Gwendolyn, let go
of me!”
At that moment, Felicia exited the dressing room after changing into the dress. As soon as she saw her
mother's face was red with a handprint on it, she shot Gwendolyn a piercing glance and questioned,
“Gwendolyn, what are you doing? Are you the one who beat my mother?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she spoke, she took out her phone and called Zachary.
“Dad, Gwen slapped Mom. Come here quickly. We can't beat her.”
She sobbed as she spoke as if she were being bullied.
All of a sudden, Gwendolyn let go of Candace. The latter lost her balance and collapsed to the ground,
spraining her ankle.
Holding Juliette's hand, Gwendolyn warned, “Candace, you'd better watch your mouth. If you continue
to talk nonsense, expect more severe consequences than a slap in the face.”
Naturally, Candace was enraged to see Gwendolyn's arrogant attitude and vowed not to let things slide
so easily. The moment she noticed that Gwendolyn was about to leave, she instructed, “Stop her. Keep
her from leaving. She must take responsibility for hitting me.”
Immediately, a few store assistants blocked the entrance. “You're not allowed to leave. Wait for the
security guard to arrive.”
Listening to that, Gwendolyn turned to look at the three children. Juliette appeared perplexed.
“Gwen, you said fighting is bad, so why did you fight?”
Gwendolyn was aware that things would get messy later because she knew the mother-daughter duo
would not give up easily, and her father would show up shortly.
She only wanted the kids to stay in a wonderful world and did not want them to see how cruel the world
was.
“Justin, take your younger siblings to the nearby dessert shop for some food. After I've dealt with this
situation here, I'll head over.”
Justin acknowledged with a hum. His dark eyes were filled with concern.
“All right, leave them to me. Can you handle it on your own? Be careful not to hurt yourself.”
Seeing her son's crystal clear eyes and how calm her children were in the face of trouble, she smiled
faintly.
“Don't worry. I'll protect myself.”
Even though Justin was still anxious, his eyes lit up slightly as he considered asking for assistance
later.
Yet, Gwendolyn seemed to have read his mind and remarked flatly, “I'll be fine. Just wait for me at the
dessert shop. Don't call Zayden. He's in the hospital and won't be able to come here.”
Usually, her two sons would seek out Zayden whenever something happened.
However, she did not want them to bother Zayden since he was now blind.
In an instant, Justin's eyes lost their sparkle, and his worry for his mother grew.

Hearing that, Justin and Juliette turned their heads to look at her.
“Mommy, I want to stay with you.”
At the side, Julian pursed his lips and commented, “Mommy, we've grown up and can protect you.”
Juliette blinked her big, round eyes and was about to cry. Everyone here is so bad. They're all glaring
at Gwen with icy expressions on their faces. It's so scary.
Just then, Justin held Juliette's hand and uttered, “Julian, Juliette, let's go over there and wait for
Mommy.”
Being the oldest of the three, he had to listen to his mother's words and shoulder some of her
responsibility.
In this instance, Juliette might get frightened if these people truly cause Mommy problems. Mommy's
worry is justified. Juliette is cowardly and in poor health. We have to protect her.
After watching the triplets leave, Gwendolyn returned to the couch and sat down gracefully while
picking up a magazine from the side to read.
It was a fashion magazine. Her interview was featured inside, with a famous jewelry brand on the
cover.
Without giving a thought to the atmosphere in the store, she opened it and began reading it.
Soon, the security guards arrived and surrounded her.
“Miss, kindly follow us to the security department.”
