"Go on now. Don't worry he won't spank you in front of so many people," Joanna assured him with a smile. She pats his brown hair and urges him to do what his father wanted.
"Can't you hear what Dad is saying or are you waiting for me to come to drag you over here?" Laura lost her cool when she noticed that Anthony didn't want to let go of Joanna.
"He is already scared. Do you have to add to it…,"
"Shut the hell up!" Laura snarled, her murderous glare concentrated on Joanna's face. " I was talking to my brother and not the daughter of a slut…,"
"Do you have to be so rude?" Derrick interrupted. He didn't understand why Laura was trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
"This is between us so will you mind your business…,"
"I can tolerate you speaking to me rudely but don't you ever use that tone on my friends especially if they didn't do anything wrong," Joanna said, not sounding polite at all.
She stood up with her hand holding Anthony firmly.
"Oh! They are your friends now that Dad is here huh?" Laura asked mockingly.
"Aren't you shameless to blatantly call your patronisers your friend? Or don't tell me they didn't pay you well after you satisfied…,"
"Watch what you are saying, Miss," Raymond cut in, his ferocious glares focused on Laura.
Despite that Mr Anderson was there he didn't caution Laura. His silence gave Laura the liberty to talk however she wished.
As long as her father was there to back her up, what can anyone do to her?
This was Laura's attitude even though she didn't voice it out.
"Oh… you are mad because what you have been doing in secret has come to light huh?" Laura challenged him. She strolled up the stairs.
By now people had already gathered around them.
Joanna's gaze moved to where her father stood. The era of being surprised or hurt that he would let Laura and her mother insult her had long passed.
She no longer expects anything from him and because of this, she doesn't get hurt anymore. If someone pointed a gun at her and asked her to choose whether to die or to receive help from her father, she would choose to die a hundred times than receive help from him.
"I am not surprised to see you both angry that your deeds have been brought to light but do you know why she is still standing with her head held high?" Laura asked. She halted in front of the fuming Raymond.
"She is shameless because she takes after her mother. Herr mother was a slut, a homewrecker…,"
"Say one more word and I will…,"
"What can a weakling like you do to a purebred werewolf like me huh?" Laura snapped. Her murderous glares locked with that of Joanna.
The two sisters glared at each other for two minutes.
"Don't speak to Big Sis like that," Anthony shouted. He jumped and stood in front of Joanna.
"She is not bad as…,"
"Who said you could talk, brat?" The furious Laura grabbed his hand and yanked him to her side.
She was so furious to get interrupted by her little brother that she forgot that they were in public.
How dare he intervene when the perfect opportunity to teach her stepsister a lesson had surfaced.
Laura raised her hand to hit Anthony but her hand was caught in mid-air.
She turned and glared at the one who stopped her from disciplining her little brother.
"You will have to go through me before you can hurt him," Joanna said sternly. She refused to let go of Laura's hand.
"Let's see whether you are powerful enough to stop me," Laura retorted. Her claws shot out and her eyes changed colours.
She pushed Joanna violently away and raised her right hand, aiming it at Joanna's face.
"Watch out!" Raymond shouted. He ran and embraced Joanna. Laura's five fingers pierced through Raymond's back.
"What the hell did you just do?" Derrick shouted. He rushed forward and grabbed Laura's hand before she could attack Joanna again.
"Let go of me," Laura shouted. She tried to push him away as she did to Joanna but unfortunately Derrick wasn't weak as she thought.
The werewolf guy was able to effortlessly subdue her.
"Are you ok?" Joanna asked after Raymond let go of her.
"What about you, are you ok?" He asked without answering her question.
"I am…,"
"His back is bleeding, Big Sis," Anthony informed.
Without wasting time Joanna spun him. Her eyes widened when she saw the mark of Laura's five fingers on Raymond's back.
"Don't worry this is nothing…," Joanna pushed Raymond out of her front. She charged towards Laura with her fists clasped.
"How dare you hurt him?" Joanna raised her hand to hit her but a powerful hand grabbed her raised hand before it could descend on Laura's face.
"What do you think you want to do to your elder sister…,"
"To put her in her place or what does it look like?" Joanna snapped.
She was beyond mad to care about the tone she used on him.
"Dad, can you see how she ganged up on me with her men because I tried to admonish her…,"
"You are still talking?" Joanna glared at Laura. "Let's see whether you will still be able to run that mouth of yours after I am done with you," Joann tried to free her hands but Mr Anderson refused to let go.
His grip around Joanna's hand tightened causing Joanna to whimper in pain.
"Dad, you are hurting Big Sis…," Mr Anderson's vicious stare made Anthony keep quiet.
"Anthony, listen to Big Sister and don't intervene. I am used to this attitude of his. If he wants to display how big of a mess our family is in public, I am equal to the task…,"
BAM!
Joanna held her burning cheeks with both hands. The slap made her feel dizzy thereby making her shake her head repeatedly to stay sane.
Joanna slowly turned her head. She scowled at the man when their eyes locked.
