As she spoke, Kelsie calmly cracked her fingers, making it obvious she was getting ready to slap the woman.
This action, along with the iciness which filled her eyes, greatly scared the woman and she didn't know when she took a step backward in fear.
The scene was beginning to grab the attention of parents on the other end of the park.
Some walked over to see what was going on, while others remained at a spot and craned their necks to watch.
Seeing this, a bold thought popped into thr woman's head and she cleared her throat noisily then pointed her manicured finger at Kelsie, yelling loudly.
"What do you think you're doing? Your son bullied my son and I did the right thing as a mother by hitting him as correction!"
"Instead of taking the side of your bully of a son, you should go ahead and thank me now for doing you such a great favor!"
Kelsie's eyes dimmed instantly and she hissed impatiently.
She was too tired for this tantrum.
She stared into the woman's eyes and unhurriedly began closing the distance between them, snorting coldly.
"I see you've made your choice. Stay still, it'll hurt even more if you try to move away when I hit you."
At first, the woman concluded Kelsie would be too intimidated and not dare to carry out her word about slapping her if they were a lot of people watching.
But to her surprise, Kelsie ignored the countless eyes on her and began closing the distance between them.
The closer she got to the woman, the further she stumbled backward in disbelief.
"W-what are you doing? Are you really going to slap me for…"
Hearing her shrill voice made Kelsie even more impatient and she quickly closed the distance between them.
She stopped in front of the woman, grabbed her firmly by the shoulder, raised her hand high up in the air and brought it down on her face.
Smack!
It didn't seem like she used a lot of force, but everyone close to them heard the slap loud and clear.
And almost immediately, the woman's face reddened and the cheek became swollen.
She shakily touched her slapped cheek with a finger, wincing in pain from the contact.
Then she clenched her jaw tightly and glared at Kelsie furiously, hollering at the top of her voice, "Y-you! How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?"
"Unlike you, I don't have that much free time to know people." Kelsie retorted calmly as she reached into her pocket and took out a handkerchief.
She wiped off the woman's makeup which had clung to her palm when she slapped her.
After she was done, she unhurriedly folded it before turning to look at her children.
Now, she was ready to hear what happened.
"What happened, Keira?"
Even though she didn't really know what happened between the children, the woman had a feeling her son was the one in the wrong.
If Keira said anything now, not only would her son be criticized by the parents around, but she'd also be criticized for hitting someone else's kid without finding out what really happened and whose fault it was.
Hence, she panicked when she heard Kelsie's question to Keira.
Before Keira could say anything, the woman began screaming at the top of her voice.
"Security! Someone call security! Isn't there a rule about parents getting violent in the park? Didn't it say any parent who gets violent with another shouldn't be allowed to remain in the premises? This woman just violated it by slapping me."
"If you let her remain here, the kids will learn that it's okay to hit others since they'll get away with it!"
"Parents, don't just stand aside and let someone like her remain here like she did nothing!"
A lot of the parents didn't see what happened between the chubby boy and the triplet, but they had listened to the chubby boy's mother continuous speak to Kelsie in a loud and concluded her twisted version was what really happened.
Furthermore, Kelsie had really violated the park's rule by being violent in front of their children which many of the parents found extremely displeasing.
"I don't know what happened, but slapping someone in front of dozens of children isn't right. No matter what the issue is, they should've taken it somewhere else."
"Is she teaching her children to resolve conflicts with their fists? She doesn't seem like a great mother."
"She has no wedding ring. She must be a single parent. Must've gotten pregnant out of wedlock."
"Of course, only a single mother could act so irresponsibly. Did she have a husband, she would behave better."
"Poor children. They deserve a better mother."
Seeing her tactic was working as countless parents judged Kelsie openly, the woman flashed her a triumphant smile.
"Sigh. So you're a single mother. I knew you were too young to be one. How old were you when you got pregnant with them?"
"Do you even know who their father is or have you raised them alone as bastards all these years?"
Hearing her call her children bastards lit a fuss in Kelsie's head and she immediately turned to the woman again.
"What did just you say?"
The woman felt a chill run down her spine seeing the icy look in her eyes again, but she clenched her jaw tightly and refused to be intimidated.
"Do you suddenly have problem hearing? Your bastards dared to bully my son who has a father. Where I come from, they should be stretched out and flogged until the skin on their backs peel!"
Hearing her say something so cruel with a straight face made Keira and Zade shudder in fear.
Jesse was the only one who remained with the same expression. Only this time, his eyes were burning with rage.
What was so good about having a daddy and a husband that his mother was being so humiliated in public for?
As he stood there, he made a silent resolve in his heart to find the best man to be his daddy. If not anything, but to avoid things like this from happening every again.
It was at this moment that man in his early 40s suddenly ran towards them.
"Honey, I've been looking everywhere for you and Anthony. What happened to you cheeks? Which unfortunate person slapped you?"
Even from a distance, the man saw the handprint on his wife's face and was naturally furious.
When the woman saw him, she hurried towards Kelsie, grabbed her by the collar and began shaking her frivolously.
Kelsie frowned slightly, finding the action annoying and was just about to yank off her hands when the woman suddenly reached out and slapped herself hard on the other cheek.
