Chapter 378 Chaos In The Living Room (Part Two)

"No, I have to teach her a lesson. She is such a bitch that she ruined our Chu family. I will let her payback for all the disasters that she had brought to our family. She is ungrateful and what she brought to us was nothing but bad luck! She does not deserve to stay in our home." John's words were useless to Lucia. She continued hitting Cherry: she hit Cherry's head with heavy fists and tore her hair violently.

While this was happening, Derek and Selina arrived at the house and heard all the noise coming from the living room. The new arrivals quickly rushed towards to commotion.

"Stop!" Derek shouted angrily at Lucia.

Lucia was surprised by the stern voice addressed to her and unwillingly obeyed the order; she stopped.

Selina immediately stepped between Lucia and Cherry. She pushed Lucia away and pulled Cherry to her side.

Joe walked towards his mother, stood beside her and held her hands tightly. The boy cast a furious look at Lucia and warned in a loud voice, "Lucia, how dare you hit my mother! You will pay for this. I will not forget you and what you did to my Mom!"

Hearing what Joe said, Lucia was taken aback by the warning given by the Child. She stood still and fell silent, but her heart was still full of rage and fury.

Cherry stayed quiet. Selina noticed the harsh beating she had gone through. Her hair was in a mess, her face had been scratched by fingernails. There were traces of blood. Her beautiful face and skin were now red and had started to swell. Selina felt pity for her friend and disgusted towards Lucia. Lucia's action was no different from that of an animal.

Selina gently smoothed her friend's disheveled hair and wiped the blood from her face. She felt like crying for Cherry. She was wondering why Cherry allowed Lucia to attack her, to hurt her. This was so unlike her friend, she thought.

erry told him to leave his Daddy alone, because he was not feeling well nor in a good mood.

Joe understood his mother's words and kept quiet.

Selina was feeling suffocated with the heavy atmosphere in the living room, she could no longer stand the tension. "Cherry, let's go to the washroom to tidy up your hair, " she suggested to her friend.

"Okay, " Cherry nodded and said to her son, "Joe, let's go!"

"Okay, " said Joe. Cherry felt that she and Joe needed to relax and breathe. They needed some time away from Jackson.

Derek waited for her sister, Cherry and Joe to leave the room. Once they were out of sight he walked towards Jackson and sat beside him. In a low voice, he said, "I have talked with Eric and Jonson. Bobby will take good care of everything! They will wait for your order!"

"How about the barracks?" asked Jackson, while lowering his head.

"Nothing happened at the barracks. Everything is clear, " said Derek.

"Derek, " called Jackson.

"Yeah? What is it?" Derek asked. Hearing Jackson's serious tone, Derek knew that he was about to tell him something important.

"Prepare the application form and submit it in a few days. I am ready to retire after Grandpa's funeral is done, " said Jackson, in a firm tone.

"What?" asked Derek, surprised by what he heard. He couldn't believe his ears. 'What does Jackson mean? What is he planning to do?' he thought.
