Chapter 194 The Bad

Woman Wants To Hit Me

Jayceon left in a hurry, filled with anxiety and frustration. He had finally convinced his son to bring Ellie along, only for her to see a side of him he wished she hadn't. He knew he needed to explain himself thoroughly.

If he failed to clarify things now, reconciling with Ellie would become even more difficult.

Meanwhile, Patrick was deeply engrossed in playing with the car model, intent on taking it apart and putting it back together. He seemed oblivious to Fay sitting next to him.

Fay studied Patrick's features closely, his eyebrows, eyes, and nose bore a striking resemblance to Jayceon's. Even at such a young age, he already showed signs of being very handsome. She wondered how many hearts he would break in the future.

Her expression grew cold as she pondered the potential threat he posed-if recognized by the Russell family, he might claim part of their fortune. It seemed wise to get rid of him sooner.

"Have you ever visited your grandparents with your dad?" Fay asked, trying to seem casual.

Patrick remained focused on the car model, not looking up, as if he hadn't heard her.

Feeling frustrated by being ignored by a child, Fay nudged Patrick rudely and said in a sharp talking to you. Did you hear me?"

Patrick looked up at her, his expression defiant.

Fay repeated her question.

Patrick rolled his eyes in annoyance and returned to playing with the car model. "Hey, I'm

Fay grew angry and pushed his arm. “You little brat, how dare you ignore me? This is unacceptable! Answer me; has your dad taken you to meet your grandparents?"

Startled by her push, Patrick dropped a piece of the car model. Angrily, he replied, "No."

Fay sneered, "So the Russell family doesn't recognize you, huh? That makes sense. Why would they acknowledge a child born to that woman? Your mother's background isn't impressive, is it? Someone like her joining the Russell family? Impossible."

Thinking Patrick wouldn't grasp her harsh words, Fay spoke without holding back.

She continued, "Listen here, you shouldn't get too attached to your dad. He'll

never marry your mom. She's not right for him. Only someone like me fits him. But f you start calling me 'mom' now, I might think about being your stepmom after I marry your dad."

Patrick picked up a metal piece from the car model, his eyes burning with anger. "You're lying! My daddy would

never marry someone as mean as you!"

With that, he threw the piece at Fay with all his might.

Since they were close, the piece struck Fay directly on the forehead, causing it to bleed.

Fay touched her forehead, noticed the blood, and became furious. She could see Jayceon outside focused on attempting to calm Ellie, which gave her more courage to deal with Patrick. She raised her hand to strike Patrick

and shouted, "You little brat, you dare to hit me? I'll teach you a lesson now!'

Patrick ran away quickly, yelling, "Daddy, the bad woman wants to hit me! Daddy!"

Fay realized the trouble she would be in if Jayceon learned she tried to hit his son. She might lose any chance of marrying him.

She hurried after Patrick, grabbed him to stop him, and tried to scare him into silence. "Who said I was going

to hit you? You're making things up," she said sharply.

Patrick was smart. Although he was smaller than Fay, he used his teeth as a weapon. He bit down hard on

Fay's wrist.

His mother had always told him to stand up to bad people, and she would handle the rest for him.

"Ah-" Fay screamed in pain. She pulled her hand back quickly.

Seizing the opportunity, Patrick escaped again, shouting, "Daddy, the bad woman wants to hit me!"

Ellie noticed her son running towards Jayceon and her and moved to meet him. Jayceon also turned, still frustrated because Ellie was stubborn about not joining him for a meal.

Patrick pointed to Fay, who was still inside, and said, "The bad woman wants to hit me. She c1 and said the Russell family won't acknowledge me."

Fay opened the door just in time to hear this.

She stamped her foot in irritation, never expecting Patrick to recount her words so precisely.

She said to Jayceon, "I didn't! He's lying."

She then pointed to her bleeding forehead. "Look, he hit me with the car model."

She also showed him her arm. "And he bit me."

me a brat

Ellie was livid. She knew her son too well-he wouldn't strike anyone without a good reason. This woman had

to have pushed him to it.

She walked over and slapped Fay several times.

Immediately, Fay's face began to swell. Ellie, skilled in fighting like Brenna, did not restrain herself.

Ellie exclaimed, "You are despicable! How dare you bully a child?"

Fay, consumed by anger, wanted to fight back, but when' she saw Jayceon glaring at her with a terrifying expression she had never seen before, she held back and recoiled in fear.

"Jayceon, please, listen to me; I didn't say those things. Children exaggerate. I didn't hit him, he hit me and bit me. Aren't you going to do something about it?"

Fay tried to sound pitiful.
