Eunice couldn't believe her eyes, and in a fit of rage, she hurled the mug from the side table next to the couch right at Serena's face.
It wasn't the same coffee table that Kenneth had flipped over earlier. This mug had been resting on a small, oval side table by the arm of the sofa.
The mug hit Serena square in the cheek, the lukewarm coffee burning her already injured chin, splashing all over her face and clothes, leaving her a total mess.
But by now, Serena was petrified, her spirit practically shattered.
Eunice got up and marched over to her, slapping her across the face repeatedly, "You think you can mess with my Rose and get away with it? The Collins have been too kind to you!"
Serena, trembling with fear, managed a weak, "Auntie."
With a snarl, Eunice kicked her hard, as if this ungrateful girl had no right to call her "auntie".
