The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 312 Stop At The Impossible

Kay was among the matrons at the party.

Mandy was busy preparing a sumptuous meal in the kitchen, completely unaware of Isla bringing Aron home. But close to dinner time, Mandy walked out of the kitchen to replace Aron and Isla affectionately sitting beside each other. Taken aback, she ran screaming towards Isla, "You damn bitch! You have the face to show yourself here after what you did to my daughter! Not only did you steal her man, you caused us a huge embarrassment when the wedding was cancelled. I can beat you to death and it still won't be enough!"

Aron lost no time getting in between the two women to protect his fiancee, as Mandy tried to claw out towards Isla.

Instead, Mandy's hand hit Aron with burning hatred. Aron groaned in pain but was intent on protecting Isla.

Kay along with the rest matrons watched the drama with pleasure while eating melon seeds.

Mandy, seeing Aron who came to Isla's rescue, got angrier and grabbed a nearby broom and took it all out on Aron. "You are nothing but a faithless ingrate. Four years, Aron! My daughter devoted four years of her youth to you, only to be betrayed by you here. This is an injustice to Becky and I will not take this sitting down!"

"Auntie, please stop!" Isla while being shielded by Aron was in tears, pleading. "Stop it, You are hurting Aron." Isla couldn't bear to see her aunt beating Aron beyond measure.

Bette and Jina heard the commotion outside and ran out to see what was going on. Jina, at the sight of Mandy attacking Aron and Isla, joined in the rumble and wrestled the broom from Mandy's hand. She had developed much more physical strength, spending a lot of time in the farm.

"What the hell are you doing? You are going too far, Mandy!" Jina threw the broom aside.

Mandy paused to catch her breath, as she had not been doing any exercise.

Isla quickly checked Aron's condition. "Are you ok? Do you have any wounds?"

"Nothing serious...." Aron replied gently and calmly. He suffered a few blows but the pain was bearable.

"Auntie, do whatever you want to me! But you cannot treat Aron like this!" Isla protested, standing up to Mandy.

"Deal with you?" Mandy's anger had not been appeased. "What gave you the right to steal my daughter's love away from her?

Let's settle this... once and for all."

Mandy didn't hold back her fury. "Their wedding plans were final. All the wedding invitations were sent to relatives and friends. But because of you, everything was ruined. How can you defend yourself with reason and sense?"

"I...." Isla was rendered speechless.

Jina, at that moment, instinctively spoke for her daughter. "How ignorant you are! First and foremost, you seem to have no clue as to who came into Aron's life first. I know that you knew about it, but you are hiding this fact to justify yourself."

Jina was determined to defend her daughter. A mother is known for her unequaled courage when it comes to safeguarding her own children.

Mandy, though feeling guilty, faced Jina with disdain. "My sister-in-law, this relationship between Becky and Aron would have been legalized had Isla not spoiled it. Your gold-digging daughter wants a rich man for herself. And it appears that you consent to this dishonorable behavior. Everybody knows about this now."

"You and your petty lies. Remember, it was my daughter and Aron who nearly got married four years ago, only to break up because your sluttish daughter got Aron drunk and slept with him. Thus in truth..." Jina had to be vulgar in order to tell what truly happened. For Mandy, this was beyond embarrassing.

"That was in the past." Mandy was sticking to her accusation, "Anyway, Becky's company and devotion that lasted four years could not have gone nowhere if not for Isla coming back into Aron's life. And to rub salt on our wounds, your daughter brought her stolen man here without any consideration of the pain and the shame she brings along. I'm going to teach you a lesson."

Mandy was about to take the broom while cursing, when Bette came out to rebuke Mandy again. "No more of your tirades! You are making a fool of yourself in front of our guests."

Mandy would have calmed down but she was fighting for... Becky's future happiness. She had to do whatever it took to avenge her.

"We are not done here. If this is not settled, I promise that there will be no peace among us." Mandy threatened.

"You...." Isla was about to approach her aunt, but Aron pulled her back.

Aron then stood up to face Mandy. "Do you really want to be given an explanation?"

"Of course." Mandy sneered, "Aron, you bastard! Your divided loyalty between Isla and Becky doesn't make you a man. You are far from being one."

Aron remained well poised at Mandy's verbal abuse. It was time for him to tell the truth and conclude this scandal. Aron replied with a calm smile, "Are you sure to make it known to everyone present here?"

"I don't see why not!" Mandy said with conviction. "It is best to clear up this matter in the presence of our relatives and friends. Once the truth is exposed, you will be found guilty and shameful." Isla wanted to stop Aron from disclosing the whole thing, considering that it was Bette's birthday party.

But Bette assured Isla, "Isla, I am fully aware of your untold grievances. Now that Mandy demands an explanation, it will prove that you are innocent. You don't have to live with the lies and the gossip anymore."

Bette expressed her disdain toward Mandy, "Mandy, as I fully understand, would only stop at the impossible. Now that she wants to make a stir, we should let her run amuck. She will realize later that she made herself a complete idiot!"
