I Am An Illegitimate Child With A Legitimate Reason For Revenge-Chapter 223: I heard Rachael screaming

The restroom was wide and clean. When she called out to Jane, her voice echoed a bit.

"Aunt Jane, don’t keep quiet cause you’re ashamed. Are you here or not?" She called out once more but there was still no response. "Hm."

She went to the stalls to look inside them. She checked the first but she wasn’t in there. She checked the next one but she wasn’t there either.

"Where did she go?" She was just about to retreat when she heard the door open and a few ladies giggling.

Without thinking, she went into one of the stalls to hide.

"Haha, did you see his reaction? To think the rumors are true." one of the ladies said,

"He’s lost his mind." Another added and they laughed.

"I can’t believe it. I’ve seen it but I still can’t believe it."

"What else do you want to see to be convinced? Raymond Stein is loose in the head."

They all laughed.

"It’s a shame. He looks so hot. Well, whatever. I would still marry him even if he was a deranged fool." One of them said and started applying her lipstick. "I mean, who wouldn’t want to be Mrs Stein?"

"Stop dreaming. You’re far from being Mrs Stein." The lady next to her said.

Rachael listened to this and felt angry. They were talking about her daddy like that.

"Well, my father brought me here specifically to become Mrs Stein. It’s not an easy feat but I guess I’ll have to try." She put her lipstick back in her purse and smacked her lips at the mirror.

"How difficult can it be?" One asked. "I mean, you can’t be any worse than the kind of girl he was into." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

They all fell silent for a moment and then burst out laughing.

"Yeah, right. That cheap whore. Anyone’s better than that. I can’t believe he stooped so low as to fall for a girl like that."

"Evidence of him not being in his right mind, I suppose."

Suddenly, Rachael barged out of the stall and yelled.

"Take that back. Take what you said about them back right this moment, you old hags." She yelled at them which startled them.

Who was this little kid, coming here to spout nonsense at them?

"I said take that back." Rachael yelled at them.

Her fists were tightly clenched. This was the first time she was getting so mad and reacting so badly to anything in her life.

She felt so broken at heart hearing them speak about Raymond like that and also mocking his choice of love. Who were they to judge?

"Who’s this little brat? Did your parents not teach you to respect your elders?" They asked and Rachael responded,

"Did your parents not teach you not to talk behind people’s backs?" She yelled at them which pissed them off.

"This little..." one stepped forward and grabbed her arm. "...I’ll teach you a lesson. Then, you’ll learn not to speak like that to your elders."

"Let go. I’m going to tell my daddy all what you said. I’m going to make you regret everything you said." She kept yelling.

The anger in her heart made her think irrationally and thus, did not bother to wonder what the outcome of her actions would be.

But she didn’t want to care. They were bad people. They were the ones in the wrong for talking about Raymond like that and also claiming the position of Mrs Stein.

"I’ll make you regret your nonsense attitude." The lady holding on to her raised her hand, ready to hit her but then, Romeo barged in alone.

"I heard Rachael screaming." He said and saw Rachael in the clutch of a lady who was about to hit her. His face contorted and he barged towards them.

"What do you think you’re doing? Let go of her." He demanded and they were taken aback but she did not let go.

"This little girl might be your friend but it’s not good for young girls to talk rudely to their elders." She said but Romeo got even more angry.

He, for one, knew Rachael was very respectful to all those who respect themselves so for them to push her to act however disrespectful she acted then they were very much in the wrong.

"I said, let her go." He repeated and the girls looked at each other.

"Young master Romeo, my name is Joy." The lady holding Rachael suddenly introduced herself.

She was looking smug, thinking that she had to carry out discipline and not be looked down upon.

"I said, let go of Rachael." Romeo’s fists were clenched.

Though he was still very young, he was a young boy with a bad anger. Very bad anger.

Joy refused to see the changing contrast on this little boys face and went on to say,

"As an adult, I feel it is my duty to put a little child in the right direction. It would seem her mother didn’t teach her properly so I will..."

Before Joy could finish her words, Rachael had already bitten hard into her skin.

"Ah." Joy yelled and ended up hitting Rachael in the face but Rachael wouldn’t let go.

She dug her teeth even deeper till it bled.

"This brat, are you a dog? How dare you bite me?" Joy hit her again but she did not let go.

Romeo was frozen in his place. He didn’t expect Rachael to act that way and even then, he couldn’t move. He was thinking... She was so resilient in leaving a mark in the lady’s arm that she didn’t care that she was being hit.

"Let her go." He finally found his voice. "Let her go or you’ll have my uncle to contend with."

The lady’s behind Joy were already scared. Though they had been so bold as to bad mouth Raymond in the washroom, they had no courage of getting in his bad side.

They felt Joy was going too far by trying to show she had some sort of power with little kids and didn’t want to be a part of it.

"Joy, I think... I think you should let her go." They advised her but she was mad.

"This little piece of shit is testing my limit and I’ll give it to her." She hit Rachael once more and Rachael’s hold on her was released.

Her mouth was bloody. It wasn’t her blood though. She spat it out and looked up from the floor she was on.

Her cute little face was swollen and her body was trembling.

"Dammit. I can’t believe I let a little kid do this to me." She looked at her hand and went to wash it in the sink. She felt so annoyed.

"Let’s go now before someone sees us." The girl on the left side said. She looked very anxious like they would get caught soon.

"I said you can’t go out." Rachael said and struggled to stand. "Not unless you apologize."

Romeo watched her, his heart aching at her pitiful state. Then, he asked himself, ’why am I standing still? I promised I would protect her, I gave uncle my word but I watched as that lady hit her. I am pathetic.’

His fist trembled.

"Look at you. Are you trying to act tough right now?" Joy’s lips curled up in an amused smirk. "This little girl, who do you think you are?" She grabbed Rachael by the hair. "You’re still so young and yet you’re putting up airs. Who do you think your daddy is? Do you think he’s able to go against my own daddy?"

"I said..." Rachael winced in pain but still managed to say, "...take it back. Take back your word and apologize."

"Look at you. You want to get beaten more?" She raised her hand but this time before she could hit Rachael, Romeo charged in and kicked her really hard in her leg.

"Ah." She screamed and let go of Rachael’s hair.

Romeo kicked her again, and again, ruining her leg for good. They say the little things are the most dangerous.

"How dare you? Ah!" Joy yelled and used her other leg to kick little Romeo down.

The other girls felt scared at the way things were going and decided to flee.

"I don’t care if that mad man is your uncle, I’ll make you regret what you did to me." Joy threatened and grabbed him before he could get out of her reach.

Meanwhile, the girls got into the hall, only to realize that everyone was already out of the inner hall and we’re getting refreshments.

They wanted to blend in the crowd to avoid suspicions but unlucky for them, a guard recognized them to have gone inside the bathroom after Rachael and pointed at them for Steve.

"Where’s Romeo and Rachael?" He asked but they looked like they did not understand so he decided to rephrase it a little clearer. "Where are the little girl and boy who went into the restroom?"

Hearing that, they flinched. How were they going to get out of this?
