In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 82: Sweet Revenge

When we come downstairs, there’s already a large group of people gathered in the living room. The center of the crowd is Katherine, who is bragging her diamond ring to a few well-dressed ladies.

So Eason still bought the ring for her? I snap my head back glaring at him. He frowns and whispers back: “I was so caught up by our little argument that I didn’t notice she took my credit card.”

That little bitch!

I puff my chest up and march into the living room. The chattering group lapses into a short silence when they notice the unexpected intruder, me. The cold expression on my face immediately sets everyone on the edge of their seats.

Mom stands up from the seat besides Ms. Griswold (seriously I don’t know how she can stand being in the same room with that woman) and welcomes me, “Natalia where have you been? Come and look at Katherine’s engagement ring. It’s so pretty.”

I ignore her and look straight into Katherine’s eyes. “Give me the ring.”

She sits there holding the ring box with her lips slightly parted. I guess she didn’t expect me to come up to her so forcefully. But she quickly recovers from the shock and says weakly, “What do you mean Natalia? This ismy engagement ring. Eason bought it for me. You can’t snatch it away from me simply because you don’t have one.”

The piteous look on her face wins her a few sympathetic looks from people around us.

Mom is twisting her slim fingers together nervously. She always cares very much how these upper-class people perceive her. “Nat, don’t make a scene. Have some manners!”

“Mom. I got this.”

“But-”

Suddenly, Eason’s voice comes behind us. “I bought this ring for you? How come I didn’t remember any of this?”

He walks through the crowd and stands by my side facing Katherine. He sneers with a hint of mockery, “I think the correct expression would be: you stole my credit card and bought the ring along with some other fancy jewelries without checking with me first.”

A buzz ran through the crowd. Katherine flushes embarrassedly within the muttering around the room. Right at this moment, Ms.

Griswold rises from her seat and interrupts everyone’s discussion sternly, “Eason, you are acting like a child. If you don’t like the ring, go and buy another one for Katherine. She is your fiancé. She doesn’t deserve to be treated like this.”

A few ladies agree her with a nod. Ms. Griswold shots a warning glare at me but I only return her a sarcastic eyeroll.

“It’s not the ring I don’t like,” Eason says coldly. “It’s her. This marriage won’t be happening. I’m officially calling it off.”

Mom lets out a short and shrill cry and quickly covers her mouth. The room bursts into a great deal of mutinous muttering as Ms. Griswold clenches her fists furiously.

Katherine already started to cry.

“Eason! This is not your decision to make!” Ms. Griswold roars viciously, forgetting her upper-class manner temporarily.

“Why!” Katherine sobs weakly. “Did I do something wrong? Please just tell me…”
