Nina glared at all the busybodies indignantly as she stood out with her fists clenched tightly. She roared at them, “What nonsense! My Mommy was not an abandoned woman. She is the daughter of a duke, and her status is a lot higher than Evan’s. There was absolutely no need for her to rely on him at all!”
“Say all those nonsense again, and my fist will find its way to you!” Juan glowered at the group when all he wanted to do was to beat them up.
“Hmph, look at the wild little bastards. Who are you to be so arrogant when your Daddy doesn’t even want you anymore?”
Juan sent them a flying kick which in turn sent all of them into hiding immediately.
While they avoided him, their mouths did not remain idle and continued scolding the children incessantly.
“Bastards, even your daddy doesn’t want you…”
It was as if all these harsh words were being replayed on a loop at top volume in Maya’s ears.
She was reminded of how Sheryl had scolded her that way too. As she rubbed her chubby little hands with a completely aggrieved look on her face, she failed to understand why these adults were scolding them the way Sheryl did as well.
Soon, the innocent little Maya could no longer handle all the insults that were lambasted at them. Tears were brimming in her eyes for a long time and she could not take it anymore. Hence, she cried out loud, “Wah!!!”
Juan, Kyle and Nina were chasing after the group to beat them up. Nicole knew very well that this group had received orders to come up and commit slander against them. There was no point trying to argue with them and she could not be bothered to talk to them either. Therefore, she picked up her phone to call the police.
It was only then that the group dispersed.
With her eyes on the passers-by who didn’t know any better and yet were gossiping about them, Nicole picked up Maya who was sobbing profusely, and walked out of the mall with three other little angry children in tow.
Sheryl recorded the entire incident from a dark spot nearby. With a satisfied smile, she made a phone call.
“Nicole Lane, after this, everyone will know what kind of person you are! This is the price you have to pay for slapping me! Let’s see who has the last laugh now, huh?”
Such sensational news immediately appeared in the hottest news reels, and became the most-watched news of the moment.
Over to the other side.
When she found out that Evan was going to attend Yage Group’s cocktail party, Susan put on a perfectly made up face before coming along as well.
She looked especially attractive standing next to Evan.
