Chapter 294

Evander helped Olivine to the couch. He stared at her, asking, “What happened?”

Olivine held his arm and put on a puppy pout. With a sad, broken voice, she responded. “I did nothing, Evander. Trust me. I couldn't help you guys since I couldn't cook, so I cut up some fruits for the boy. However, he tossed them away and shoved me to the table.”

Angeline laughed mirthlessly. Boy. she's getting better at making up stories.

“As if,” she interjected adamantly. “Sebastian's a quiet boy to start with, and he's harmless. Also, he's a good kid. He never threw any tantrums. Yet you say he tossed fruits around the room and shoved you, an adult, into a table?”

As if shocked, Olivine quickly huddled closer to Evander. Sarcastically, she said, “So you're saying I'm accusing a child for no reason? Oh no, I have a reason. Yes, they aren't grown up enough to come up with plots or schemes, but their parents? That I can't say for sure.”

“Oh, please. You're not even worth my time.” A wave of fury swam within Angeline's voice. She took a step forward and demanded. “Even if you wish to accuse me, you'd need proof. Or else I reserve the right to sue you for slander.”

Olivine was no match for an aggressive Angeline, so she turned to Evander and cried again. “You have to believe me, Evander. I wouldn't have hurt myself, so someone else must have done it. And the child is... different to begin with. Who knows what he would do?”
