Chapter 28 The guy who got knocked down was panicking Inside , thinking , I've learned some skills in fighting . How the hell am I getting my ass handed to me like this ? ' " You … " He was trembling , and then he shouted at his friends , " What the hell are you all standing around for ? GET HER ! " Only then did the others snap out of it and scramble to rush at Shermaine . One of them grabbed a baseball bat , while another came at her with bare fists . But no matter what weapon they used , they all ended up in the same place - flat on their backs , groaning in pain . They barely even recognized the girl in the school uniform , but then one of the guys finally remembered who she was . His voice cracked as he stammered , " Y - You're Shermaine , right ? " He suddenly realized she was the infamous daughter of the Jean family , the one who'd broken Ronnie's leg . Shermaine's face remained impassive . " So what ? " The guys all felt a cold chill run through them , their legs turning to jelly . Someone cursed , " Holy shit . " " It's actually you ? " another guy exclaimed . A man with silver hair shouted toward the shop , " Someone , get help here . " The music inside the shop was still blasting , and people inside were completely unaware of what was going on outside . One man , wincing in pain , got to his feet and tried to run inside , wanting to get more backup . Shermaine didn't stop him . Instead , she casually followed him , her steps measured and slow . But before she could reach the door , a guy with yellow hair grabbed her ankle . Shermaine looked down at him and ordered in a light tone , " Let go ." The man shivered all over and instinctively let go of her leg . Shermaine's gaze was overwhelming . Despite wearing a school uniform , she seemed to exude the vibe of an empress , making everyone around her feel like they were at the mercy of her will . The man had already made it inside , his face covered in blood , and that was when the others started to realize something was wrong . They cut off the loud music and asked , " What happened to you ? " Out of his breath , the man replied , " Shermaine's here . " The moment those words left his lips , Shermaine stepped inside , her movements smooth and graceful . Before anyone could react , she grabbed a baseball bat , swung it , and knocked the guy out cold . He collapsed to the ground , unconscious . The rich kids in the shop froze , staring at Shermaine . They felt an odd , suffocating pressure , like a storm was coming . They had no idea why , but their hearts were racing . Meanwhile , Ronnie , sitting on the boxing ring , glanced over . He froze for a few seconds , his face turning grim . " Shermaine , I still haven't settled the score with you yet . How dare you stroll up in front of me like nothing's wrong ? " This is my turf , you know ? Joshua can't save you this time . " Shermaine's gaze flicked toward him , and when she saw the scene in the ring , her eyes narrowed . She said in an ice - cold tone , " Sad , Amira's not here , you know ? No one can back you up now . " 1/3 Chapter 28 Ronnie scoffed , " Don't make me laugh . Look around , I got enough guys here to deal with you . " He was confident that he didn't need his mother & hals , Just a bunch of useless trash , " Shermaine said with a sneer . The others were itching to do something , yet they were frozen in place , terrified to make a move . Shermaine warned them with a smile , " Listen , if you touch even a single hair on Lily , I'll break your other leg . " Lily had been keeping her head down , not expecting anyone to show up to rescue her , but when she heard her name mentioned , she trembled and looked up . As soon as she saw who it was , her face lit up with disbelief , and tears of joy welled up in her eyes . She called out , " Sheary . " She was overwhelmed , tears streaming down her face . She never expected Shermaine would come to save her . With a grin , Ronnie thought , ' So they know each other . This is perfect . ' Ronnie didn't take Shermaine's threat seriously . He figured that with Lily as his hostage , he could do whatever he wanted . He gave a malicious grin, yanked Lily's hair , and growled , " I hate being threatened . If you want her to stay in one piece , you better play by my rules . Otherwise , she can't walk the hell out of here . " Shermaine's gaze remained as cold as ever without a hint of fear in her eyes . Lily's face went pale , and she shouted , " Sheary , run out of here . These people are lawless bullies . Just run . " She felt like she was barely hanging on herself , and she couldn't drag Shermaine into this mess . " Shut up . Did I allow you to talk ? " Ronnie slapped her across the face . Lily let out a piercing shriek , and her face instantly swelled up . At the sight , Shermaine pursed her lips , clearly pissed off . She grabbed a dart from the dartboard hanging on the wall and aimed for Ronnie's leg . The dart embedded itself in his leg . A second later , Ronnie's scream was even worse than Lily's . He collapsed to the floor , covering his bleeding leg , his face twisted in pain and rage . Shermaine started to walk toward him . " I told you , if you even touched a hair on her , I'd break your other leg ." For the first time , Ronnie actually looked scared . He yelled to his guys , " What the hell are you waiting for ? Get her , you idiots . " The others snapped out of sheer shock and rushed at her . But their skills were pathetic , and they couldn't even come close to Shermaine . Though Shermaine was a girl , she was faster , stronger , and more skilled than any of them . Facing their attack , she stayed calm and effortlessly took them down one by one . The fight went on for more than ten minutes . Some of them could've tried to get up and stop her , but they were terrified . Shermaine was merciless , aiming for their weakest spots , and they couldn't fight back . Besides , they knew that messing with Shermaine would mean getting beaten half to death . They thought it wasn't worth it to sacrifice themselves to help Ronnie . Plus , no matter how much they talked down on her , Shermaine was Joshua's fiancée , and deep down , they were all scared of her . With the others out of the way , Shermaine effortlessly moved towards the boxing ring Ronnie was too injured to move . With sweat dripping down his face , he threatened . " Look , if you do anything to me , my family will never be at peace with your family . " 2/3 viay Chapter 28 4701 " Good , " Shermaine replied in a calm tone as she started untying Lily . She examined Lily's wounds and found eight bruises , soft tissue injuries , and most seriously , internal injuries to her lungs and heart . Lily needed proper care , or she'd end up weak and fragile , unable to fend for herself . Shermaine wasn't moved by Ronnie's threats . Ronnie tried to downplay the situation . " We're even now , alright ? " " Even ? " Shermaine stepped on his leg cast and asked , " Ronnie , are you still dreaming ? " Ronnie felt a chill down his spine . " What do you want ? " She replied , " Lily's got eight soft tissue injuries . The worst are her internal injuries . Since you're the boss here , you'll pay for everything she's been through . " Ronnie snapped , " Are you kidding me ? " He thought to himself , ' I didn't even hit her at all . Yeah , I said I'd teach her a lesson , but I didn't expect the guys to go that far .' At this point , Shermaine felt that there was no need to argue further . She clenched her fists and was about to attack . Just then , her sharp ears caught the sound of something flying toward her . She turned around just in time to catch the dart that had come from behind . Sheila's voice rang out . " Shermaine , my brother's learned his lesson . You won't get away with hurting him . " Shermaine didn't dodge but grabbed the dart with her bare hands . Sheila stormed up and shouted , " If you have a problem , come at me . " Ronnie thought he saw a glimmer of hope . He yelled , " Sheila , kick her ass . " Sheila bit her lip but didn't reply . She knew her brother was a troublemaker , always getting away with things because of their family's influence . But she hadn't expected him to sink this low and cause so much harm . However , now that she saw it for herself , she couldn't just ignore it . After all , he was her brother , and she couldn't leave him to suffer . Shermaine casually toyed with the dart in her hand and snapped , " say , are people in the Leeds family all unreasonable like you guys ? " Sheila felt a bit awkward , yet she still retorted , " So what if we are ? " " If you keep trying to stop me , I'll beat you up too . " Shermaine was losing patience . " Hmph , who ends up getting beat is yet to know , " Sheila sneered . She rolled her neck , the bones cracking loudly . " You've already beaten them to a pulo , and you're still making a fuss ? Guess the rumors were right - you're as petty and vicious as they say . " Shermaine let out a chuckle . " You're not so impressive yourself .
