Clarence dragged Peony away. "Mom, William's really lying. Let me have him.
"I'm sure I can make him tell everyone the truth."
He wanted to continue hitting William.
"I won't let you beat William, no matter what!" Peony looked furious.
Steeling himself, William pushed Peony away and threw himself at Clarence's feet. "Auntie, get out of the way. This kid's insane. I can't let you get hurt because of me. Just let him hit me.
"I'm not afraid. Even if I get killed, I have no qualms about it."
Thump.
Clarence kicked William. William did a somersault and fell onto his stomach. Then, Clarence rushed forward to pick William up.
"Clarence, you've gone too far."
"Stop it, you loser!"
Belle and Melody were shouting and screaming as if things were not chaotic enough already.
Peony rushed over to break up the fight, only to be pushed back several steps by Clarence.
