"It was you, it was you who first laid hands on me and gave me a glimmer of hope, who offered me an olive branch, and now you blame me for it? Are you just taking your anger out on me because Nora Hart dumped you and everyone in Capital Port looks down on you?"
"Jack Holt, why did you hit me? That's domestic violence, I'm going to report you."
Jack Holt, having drunk too much and been roughed up by Nora Hart, went home to be threatened by Grace Carter and suddenly erupted in rage. He unleashed a fury of punches and kicks on her: "You want to report me? Go ahead, let's see if you can even leave this house. Do you believe I could break your legs, confine you in this house, and never let you see the light of day again?"
Screams of agony echoed from inside the house.
The servants watched Jack Holt beating Grace Carter viciously, none daring to intervene.
After all, Mr. Holt of the Holt Family was known for his temper, and indeed, no one really liked Miss Carter.
