When the Family 297 Chapter 297 Absolutely Pathetic "Ma'am!" Sofia's face instantly went pale. Her eyes widened in shock before she jolted into action, stumbling toward Mindy in a panic.
Jean instinctively turned her head toward them- But Selena was still yanking hard on her hair.
Like sunreasonable street thug, she was voting her rage the only way she knew how: through brute force. And Jean-well, her current body was basically a certified weakling.
She couldn't fight her way out of a wet paper bag. Great All she could do was stretch out her arm and press it against Selena's shoulder, trying to push her away "Don't leave marks." Thomas, who had been silently watching from the sidelines, finally spoke up..
He sounded bored, completely unbothered, as if none of this really concerned him. “If you leave bruises on her, it might cause trouble later." Selena gave a half-smile, still wrestling with Jean. "Relax, Thomas-" "I'm not that stupid." As she said it, her grip tightened.
"Yanking hair doesn't leave marks. It's harmless, right?" Jean clenched her teeth, pain shooting through her scalp. A dark glint flashed in her eyes.

Her hand, which had been pressed against Selena's shoulder, suddenly shifted upward-then shot toward the woman's neck.
And gripped it-hard.
"You-!" Selena hadn't expected that. Her head jerked back instinctively.
But Jean wasn't letting go.
Her fingers tightened around Selena's throat, and a cold smirk crept onto her lips. Her eyes turned sharp and icy. "What, scared now?" Selena's face went ghost-white. Her eyes flew open in terror.
She's insane! Jean looked like someone who'd snapped completely-like she'd reached the end of her rope and was 1/3 tely Pathetic Finished Stumbling back, Selena asped for air, her lungs tightening. It felt like the oxygen was being sucked from her lungs, second by second.
Then- A jolt of force slammed between them! Pain exploded in Jean's arm.
Thomas had stepped in without warning. With a single swing, he smacked Jean's hand away.
She couldn't even resist.
His adult strength completely overpowered her. The world spun. Her body flew backward and hit the ground hard.
She was dizzy.
Her head buzzed, and the sound around her turned into a chaotic hum.
"Jean!" She could barely make out Sofia and Mindy's frantic voices calling her name.

"Jean, do you even know what you just did? You were choking her. Were you trying to kill her?"
"I know exactly what I did." Jean squinted her eyes, then yes then suddenly let out a short bitter laugh. “So what? She started it." Then her gaze snapped up, sharp as a blade, cutting straight into the Lawson siblings.
"You two are pathetic. All you can do is pick on women and children? Absolutely pathetic." The words hit a nerve.
Thomas's expression darkened, his face clouding over like a storm rolling in. There was something dangerous simmering just beneath the surface of his voice. "What did you just say?"
"I said-" Jean raised her voice, locking en a hint of eyes with him without even a fear, "you're a cowl weakling who only bullies people weaker than you. I have zero respect for that." Thomas let out a low, cruel laugh.
Then suddenly, without warning, he crouched down and grabbed Jean by the collar.
"Let. Go. Of. Her!" A voice-icy, piercing-cut through the air like a blade It wasn't loud, but it sliced through the tension like a sword, stopping everyone in their tracks.
