"Jacob," Olivia gasped, her voice quivering as she approached him. Her eyes were wide with shock, and tears streaked down her cheeks. "I can't believe what just happened. Grace... she attacked me out of nowhere. I was just trying to help her pick up the photographs, and she slapped me!"
Jacob's brow furrowed in confusion, torn between his wife and the woman who now clung to him for comfort. "Olivia, what happened?" he asked, his voice tinged with concern as he gently tried to pull her away to assess her condition.
Olivia sobbed harder, shaking her head. "Grace just slapped me out of nowhere!" she exclaimed, her words punctuated with gasping breaths. "I was trying to apologize for the incident earlier, and she... she lost control!"
Mindy, Aiden, and Natasha stared wide-eyed at their mother, their faces mirroring the confusion and shock mirrored on Jacob's. They glanced nervously at Grace, unsure of what had transpired to provoke such a reaction.
