chapter 18 Judgment

A cry of alarm snapped Jedrek out of his reverie.
He looked up and saw a scene that filled him with rage. Shino's kick was swift, and although Awenasa tried to dodge, her cheongsam hindered her movements.
Bang!
Shino's kick landed squarely on her abdomen, sending her crashing to the ground.
Awenasa's face went pale as she slowly got up, supporting herself with one hand on her abdomen, clearly in pain.
"You're asking for death!"
Jedrek's anger surged. When he saw Awenasa trying to fight back with the glass, he understood her intentions.
Being missing for over five years, he felt indebted to her. He hadn't fulfilled his duties as a father and a husband, which made him feel guilty towards her.
Now, Shino dared to lay hands on her, driving Jedrek almost to madness!
He crouched down and held Mirte in his arms. He then stepped forward, charging towards the stage like a cannonball.
"Hehehe... come on! Come at me!"
Shino roared.
Jedrek halted abruptly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
It turned out that Shino had taken the piece of glass and was now holding it against Awenasa's neck!
Watching the red mark left on Awenasa's smooth white neck, Jedrek dared not move again, afraid that Shino would really go crazy and do something irreversible.
"Hahaha, come on, keep going! Aren't you tough? Come on up! Why aren't you moving now? Hahaha!" Shino laughed wildly, mocking Jedrek.
He shook his head wildly, looking extremely excited, almost like he had gone mad.
The crowd below all stepped back in unison, seemingly reminded of the rumors.
Shino was crazy!
Looking at the scene before him, Shino wasn't just crazy, he was freaking insane!
"Go on, break his limbs for me. I want to deal with him myself! Hahaha!" Shino loudly ordered.
Immediately, the surrounding Cooper family guards smirked and moved forward, all wearing expressions of gloating.
But on the stage, seeing this scene, Awenasa shed tears of pain. Her face was full of regret as she said, "Go now, Jedrek. Take our daughter and leave. Don't mind me, just go!"
Hearing Awenasa's desperate voice and seeing her pale, exquisite face, Jedrek felt his heart ache. In this moment, he saw the love Awenasa had for their daughter, and he also saw a shadow of the Awenasa from years ago.
She still loved me!
At that moment, he was certain. Awenasa still loved him.
With this realization, a gentle smile appeared on Jedrek's face. The dilemma in his heart was resolved at this moment.
He had not planned to leave, and now, he was even more determined not to go.
"I'm sorry, Awenasa. I'm late." He looked at Awenasa and said softly.
Upon hearing this, Awenasa was momentarily stunned, but the next moment, tears welled up in her eyes even more. However, she smiled, a smile so poignant and powerless.
"Too late," she murmured to herself.
"Mommy!"
Suddenly, Awenasa, who had already given up hope, heard this call and felt a surge of emotion. She looked towards her daughter.
Mirte, who was being held by Jedrek, also had tears on her face, crying pitifully. She reached out her small hands towards Awenasa, crying and calling out, "Mommy, I wants mommy, sob!"
Hearing Mirte's cries, Jedrek felt a pang of sorrow. He held Mirte back in his arms and gently comforted her, "It's okay, my dear. Mommy will be back soon. Trust me, no one can hurt you."
"Oh? No one can hurt us? Haha, that's so scary, I'm terrified! Hahaha!" On the stage, Shino, with one hand grabbing Awenasa's hair and the other holding the glass, laughed maniacally. His face full of ferocity.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Shino called off the Cooper family guards who were approaching. He grinned and looked at Jedrek, saying, "Isn't this fun? Come on, I'll give you a chance. If you make a move, I'll cut her neck! Want to give it a try?"
"Too scared to act? Hehe, then I'm sorry. Do you know how I'll deal with this bitch? Hehe, I'll take her back and play with her slowly. I have many ways to do it! When I'm bored of playing, I'll sell her to a brothel. Hehe, I'll make her serve clients every day. How about that, are you angry? Do you want to kill me? Come on, hehe, come on!"
Shino's mad voice echoed throughout the venue. Everyone present, without exception, thought him must be crazy!
But more people were now looking at Ms. Samira, who had been standing steadily in the front row representing the Bishop family. Shino's behavior was outrageous. Bishop family just going to sit and do nothing?
If Shino really did that, the Bishop family's reputation would be completely ruined!
Under the gaze of the crowd, even though Ms. Samira had intended for Jedrek and the Shino family to both suffer losses, she had to step forward now. Her face darkened as she angrily said, "Shino, what do you mean by this? Do you think the Bishop family is powerless?"
In any case, she had to step forward at this moment. Otherwise, whether the Cooper family killed Jedrek or he destroyed the Cooper family, she never believed Jedrek could win. She had to show an attitude no matter what.
Indeed, hearing her words, some of the wealthy people present who had business dealings with the Bishop family looked much better. They didn't want to do business with a family that had no backbone; otherwise, their business would be too risky.
However, Shino on the stage at this moment didn't even look at Ms. Samira. He still looked at Jedrek with a crazy face. In his eyes, this person was interesting.
He loved to see relationships between friends, lovers, relatives, and lovers turn hostile under his coercion and temptation. He enjoyed this kind of drama very much and never tired of playing it, no matter how many times.
Moreover, not only did he not react, but even the head of the Cooper family on the stage also looked indifferent, completely ignoring Ms. Samira.
The Bishop family? What did the face of the Shen family matter? Even if such a thing did not happen today, the Cooper family would have caused trouble to humiliate the Bishop family. Before, when they wanted Awenasa to kneel down and serve tea, it was the same.
The Cooper family had long wanted to swallow up the whole Bishop family. Today was just an appetizer.
As for Shino's wife, Ruana, she glanced at Ms. Sarima at this moment. But it was just a disdainful curl of her lips. Anyone could see her disdain for the Bishop family.
In the vast venue, many people were pensive. They were looking at Ms. Samira, then at the Cooper family, as if they had understood something.
And just at this moment, the man who triggered everything, Jedrek, suddenly laughed!
"Hahaha!"
He laughed heartily. After laughing, he looked at Shino fiercely and then spoke out like a proclamation or a verdict, "You, kneel before me, and the Cooper family can leave with their whole bodies intact."
