Chapter 295

“I'm telling you all this for your own good. Floretta. As much as you like Angeline, she's not your birth mother. Your father is the one who loves you the most.”

Floretta was so enraged by her words that she reached out to shove Olivine away, panting heavily as she did so.

“Shut your mouth,” she growled. “You're not fit to say those things about Angel.”

Evander grabbed her arm. His scowl was frightening. “That's enough, Floretta. Under no circumstances should you ever strike somebody. Apologize!”

Floretta's large, watery eyes were filled with shock. “Daddy...”

“I will not repeat myself.”

Evander allowed no room for negotiation.

Being already fearful of her father, Floretta began to weep piteously from only the slightest display of anger on Evander's part.

“I-I'm Sony. You're mean, Daddy. I won't speak to you ever again!”

At that, she wiped the tears off her face and ran out of the room without another word.

Evander frowned as he gazed at her departing silhouette. His heart ached.

He was about to inn after her, but his meticulously made plan surfaced in his thoughts. It would not be worth it if I were found out at this juncture.

That stopped him in his tracks. His features became taut with helplessness.
