Julie took the slap for her daughter.
This slap carried one hundred percent of Jessica's strength, and the slap mark on Julie's face was clearly visible. It was as red as a hot iron, burning her skin.
"Mom, mom, are you okay? Does it hurt? Does it hurt?" Vivian stood in front of her mother, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her trembling hands tried to touch her mother, but she was afraid of hurting her. "It must be very painful. It must be painful to death. Mom, why do you take it for me?"
"I can't let my daughter be beaten." Enduring the pain, Julie pulled her daughter behind her to protect her. Julie looked up at Jessica and said, "it has nothing to do with Vivi. I did it."
"Mom?" Vivian's voice trembled.
Jessica sneered, "You?"
"Yes, it's me." Julie put the blame on herself. Anyway, she had to protect her daughter.
Howard was an unreliable man. She had to admit it and assumed all responsibilities, or Jessica would not let them go.
Vivi had almost entered into Shi family. She couldn't fail now.

still in danger. But you kept calling me sister. Are you reminding me that my brother had an accident? You are a jinx. Vivian, you are a jinx. If John didn't hold the wedding ceremony, this wouldn't have happened!"
Jessica had been worried about her brother's safety, and she had also been disturbed by the matter of the listener. She seemed to have eaten a bomb and would explode when anything made her angry.
Jessica pointed at the pale face of Vivian and said, "If anything happens to my brother, I won't let you go. And if I find out what your mother has done behind my back with the recording, I won't let her go either."
Vivian endured the humiliation in her heart and the impulse to go up and slap Jessica in the face. Vivian lowered her eyes and didn't say anything.
She had to put up with it.
A little impatience would spoil a great plan.
When Vivian was silent, Chester raised his lips slightly, revealing a shrewd look that didn't match his young age. "Aunt, the two of them really hurt someone with your recording. It was grandpa who was hurt."
