As Maya reached out to seek the other children in hiding, she tripped. She stumbled and crashed to the ground.
Her arms, legs and knees hurt terribly.
When she raised her head, she was greeted by an unexpected face.
Almost instantly, she let out an ear-piercing wail.
Lisa smirked. “That fall must have hurt. Be careful.”
She bent down to take ahold of Maya’s chubby arms. Lisa pinched the little girl’s arms forcefully, causing an even louder howl from Maya.
The other three children, who had been hiding, rushed over immediately.
“What’s wrong, Maya?”
Lisa swooped in to answer, “She fell accidentally. It probably hurts a lot. Do comfort your sister.”
Lisa pivoted and strode towards the living room.
Nina wiped Maya’s tears away. “There, there. Don’t cry, it’s okay.”
“Where did you hurt yourself, Maya? Let me blow on it and it’ll be all better.”
Maya gazed at Juan and Nina. Suddenly, she pointed her finger at Lisa and shrieked, “Bad woman! You witch!”
Why is Maya scolding her all of a sudden?
Back from answering a call, Yoda was astonished by Maya’s reaction.
“Did she bully you, Maya?” Kyle spat as he glared daggers at Lisa.
Maya nodded vigorously. “She tripped me, then pinched me.”
The other three children were outraged.
“Let’s teach her a lesson!”
“Yes! We have to kick that witch’s butt!”
A flash of anger streaked across Yoda’s gaze.
How dare she ambushed the children while they were alone?
She must pay!
Juan and Kyle discussed numerous revenge strategies.
Despite her anger, Nina was worried. “She doesn’t look dumb. I don’t think she’ll fall for our tricks easily.”
Yoda patted Juan and Kyle’s shoulders. He brought out his phone and typed in a warning. If you commence your plans in the Seet Residence, your grandparents might be blamed.
The two boys looked at each other. “What do you think we should do?”
