Chapter 18: Fiery Flirting
Avery’s eyes widened in shock, and Evelyn mirrored her surprise, not expecting the cute little girl to rebel. They exchanged glances before Avery broke into laughter, finding Elaine’s red nose reminiscent of a clown.
"You! How dare you?!" Elaine fumed, wiping her face clean. She raised her hand to hit Kiana, but suddenly a hulk stood between them. John’s large hand gripped her tiny wrist tightly. He had rushed at the commotion and roughly pushed Elaine, causing her stumble back.
"I’m going to sue you, Evelyn! Just you wait and see," Elaine roared, peeking around John’s imposing frame.
"Well, technically speaking, you should be suing Kiana," Avery commented, crossing her arms. Pointing at the CCTV, she continued, "She was the one who hurt you, so go ahead and try suing Zevian’s precious daughter."
Elaine’s friends stood behind her, their mouths agape in shock. Kiana Reign was always hidden from the public eye, so many hadn’t seen her before. Now that they had, they couldn’t help but recall Katherine, Zevian’s late wife, who had the same blue eyes as Kiana.
Elaine gritted her teeth and, glaring at Evelyn, turned around to leave. Even though her father owned a law firm, he wasn’t powerful enough to sue the Reign family’s princess; no one in this city had such guts.
"Let’s go," Avery said, noting the crowd inside the shop witnessing the scene. Evelyn nodded, and John quickly escorted them to their Maybach.
Silence filled the car as John drove toward their house. Evelyn tried to think of how to make Kiana realize that she was wrong. Glancing at the little girl beside her, she started, "Even though your intention was right, you can’t just throw things at someone, Kiana."
"But she was calling you evil!" Kiana grumbled like any pampered four-year-old would, her pout making Evelyn smile.
