Chapter 66: Karma always plays fair
Evelyn’s cold eyes quickly softened at the unexpected arrival of Kiana. She looked at Agatha who apologetically shook her head, indicating the little girl had thrown a tantrum to come down stairs.
"What truth, Mommy?" Kiana asked again, her eyes squinted with worry and suspicion. Though she hadn’t heard what Sabrina had said earlier, her mommy’s words scared her, and her little heart was not ready to take in another shock. Agatha walked downstairs, and Evelyn used the opportunity to finish her discussion with Sabrina.
"So, tell me, Mrs. Grey. Should I tell you in detail about her parents’ accident that night?" Evelyn challenged taking a step forward, her low voice causing Sabrina to break into a thin sweat. Turning to Dominic beside her mother, Evelyn smirked, "Oh, maybe we should discuss it in front of the media, with proof of course."
Even the Reign family wasn’t expecting Evelyn to know anything about the accident. And Avery couldn’t be any glad that someone finally brought it up! They had given enough chances for this family to heal and blame Zevian for their mistakes, and it was time for them to face the truth.
"Oh, nothing baby," Evelyn replied to Kiana’s question earlier, whom Agatha had carried to her. Scooping the little girl in her arms, she faced the Greys again and continued, "I was telling your grandmother that you want to be with us not her. Isn’t that true?"
Kiana instantly nodded, a pout formed on her lips as she stared at her grandmother. Sabrina forced out a smile at the little girl, and when she tried to reach for her, Evelyn took a step backward, clearly conveying her motive. And much to her shock, even Kiana seemed weary of her, clinging tightly to this woman whom she deluded to be her mommy.
"Why don’t you stay in the room, Kia? Let us elders talk this out." Evelyn coaxed the little anxious bear in her arms, gently patting her head.
Kiana softly sighed and nodded, obeying her request without throwing a tantrum. It surprised Sabrina how much control Evelyn had over her granddaughter, and what ached her the most was an outsider had been living the position that belonged to her daughter. Be it the wife of this powerful heir of the Reign Family or Kiana’s most trustable person.
"Please don’t bully Daddy and Mommy." Kiana’s quiver brought Sabrina out of her thoughts. When she looked up, the little girl continued with tears brimming in the corner of her eyes. "They are very stressed, Nana. And I don’t like anyone who hurts them."
