The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 475

Dahlia stepped out of the shower, still simmering from the humiliation she had

faced earlier. Overcome with rage, she began to toss things around her bedroom, leaving a trail of chaos behind her. Her chest rose and fell with each angry breath.

On her way back, she'd discovered that her conversation with Evelyn had been leaked. Charles was supposed to have destroyed the recording, so how on earth did it get out? It had to be Evelyn's doing. Charles had already landed her in a 48- hour detention because of that old witch, and Evelyn still wouldn't let it go. It was maddening.

Just as Dahlia was about to explode with anger, her phone rang. She scowled at the screen, seeing Sandy's name pop up. Her expression softened a bit as she answered.

Before she could even muster a frosty greeting, Sandy's cheerful voice came through, "Mommy, are you done with work? When are you coming to see me? Daddy's here, you know!"

Sandy didn't dare pester for her mom, worried that if she interrupted something important, her mom would be upset. "I'll be right there. Keep your dad around, okay?" Dahlia instructed her.
