Zoe Meyer felt the moment Charlotte Allison exerted force on her hand, the piercing pain on her wrist she held back, thinking everything was within her control, but then she heard Charlotte Allison speak softly.
"You're right, he is indeed someone I raised, but he's not a pet, he's a wolf cub."
After she said this, she released Zoe Meyer's hand and neck.
Having learned combat, Zoe Meyer snapped back after being released and was about to retaliate, but she saw a flash before her eyes, so fast that she didn't even have time to react. Following that, a ringing in her ears ensued, causing her to stagger back unsteadily against the wall, but this time with her back against it.
In just an instant, Zoe Meyer took a few seconds to realize the burning pain spreading across her cheek, only then realizing that Charlotte Allison had slapped her.
Her retaliation seemed to have been anticipated by Charlotte Allison, so the moment she turned around, the slap fell on her cheek.
