The Borders of Love

“Make some tea now, or I’m firing you!”

Mia slapped my mother so fiercely that her right cheek became swollen immediately.

“Mom!”

I was shocked, and I immediately rushed over to support her.

Then, I glanced at Mia and the large number of relatives behind her before growling, “I’m giving you one minute to get out of here, or I’m calling the police!”

Mia was not afraid in the slightest. Instead, she placed her hands on her hips and laughed.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you order me around?

“My son-in-law bought this house for me. Even if the police come, they’re going to arrest you two for barging in.”

I was so angry that my chest heaved, and I glared at Liam. “So, you have nothing to say to me?”

Liam’s expression soured, and he walked over to my side.

Just when I thought he was finally going to be truthful, he shoved my arm. “Quiet! Why are you yelling at the guests when you’re just the nanny’s daughter?

“You’re both fired! Leave now!”

When Mia heard this, she immediately said, “Once you finish packing, I’m going through your things. Look at how shabbily you’re dressed. I’m sure you’re a thief too. You might take a few things before leaving.”

My mother had never gone through such injustice before. She stepped forward and shouted, “This is my home! You’re the ones leaving!”

Mia flew into a rage. “You’re still staying like a shameless piece of trash! I’m going to teach you a lesson!”

Before anyone could react to the situation, she kicked my mother in the stomach.

My mother’s head fell against the floor, and she immediately lost consciousness.

At that, Liam’s face turned pale.

It seemed that he never expected things to turn out like this, much less thought that Mia would attack my mother.

“Mom! Don’t scare me!”

Right then, I could not be bothered to make Mia pay for what she had done. I just took out my phone to call the ambulance.

However, Mia refused to relent and continued insulting my mother.

“You old bat! Don’t go thinking that I’ll get scared just because you’re pretending to be unconscious! You’re trying to scam me, aren’t you?! Dream on!

“This is my house! If you want to die, do it outside! This is a happy occasion! Don’t ruin it with your bad luck!”

Mia’s gaggle of relatives even tried to throw my mother outside after hearing what she had said.

I shoved the person at the forefront away and yelled, “Touch my mom! I dare you!”

Perhaps my expression was too terrifying because these people were shocked.

Heather had been watching the show for a long while by the side. At that moment, she finally came forward and pretended to put a stop to the situation.

“Mom, this is a happy occasion. What on earth are you doing?

“Liam, bring my mom around the place, will you?

“As for the nanny you hired, her daughter’s taking care of her, right? I don’t think anything will happen.”

Heather was intentionally reducing my mother’s status to that of a nanny.

She wanted to use this chance to insult me and make me angry.

However, all I cared about was my unconscious mother. I was not in the mood for her lowly provocations.

“Liam, are you even human? My mother treats you so nicely and even loves you like her own son, but you’re doing this to her?

“She’s lying here, and we don’t even know whether she’ll survive. Yet, you’re still in the mood to bring that murderer around?”

Liam glanced at me as well as my mother, and hesitation flickered in his eyes. “I—”

However, Mia interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

“What did you say? Who’s a murderer?

“Your mother’s the shameless one here who refused to leave my house! Liam, chase them out!”
