“Right. It’s our Zinnia who disowned the biased family.” Yannis flashed a teasing grin, withdrew his hand, and deliberately sidled up next to Zinnia, as if hiding behind her.

Yvette was speechless. She thought, ‘So I’ve been overthinking.

“Such blatant favoritism,” Yannis said to Maelis with mock seriousness.

Yosef closed his eyes. He had given up all hope of restraining Yannis, because he knew once one provoked Yannis, there was no easy way to shake him off.

Yannis continued, “Mrs. Shaw, I know you play favorites, but I have to ask, are you sure Zinnia is really your daughter?

“Maybe you brought home the wrong kid. I mean, what kind of parent shows this much favoritism to one daughter and treats the other so badly?

“You treat your own flesh and blood like she’s your enemy. Seriously, who would do this to their daughter? Am I right, Aunt Yvette?”

Yannis curled his lips and turned to Yvette as he said the last sentence.

“If Zinnia were my daughter, I’d spoil her and cherish her.” Yvette nodded emphatically.

Yvette’s beautiful eyes fixed on Zinnia with anticipation. “Sweetheart, why don’t you come home with me? My place is just missing a sweetie like you.”

“If Zinnia were my little sister, I’d always protect her, and I’d be so happy and wake up laughing in my dreams,” Maisie said with a big smile.

She let out a couple of soft chuckles at the end, as if just imagining Zinnia as her sister was the best thing ever.

Yannis said, “See, Mrs. Shaw? That’s how one should treat her daughter.

“Your family plays favorites and can’t even raise your child properly. You end up with a greedy, ungrateful child with a scheming mind, who always exploits others, never learns from her mistakes, and steps on others to get ahead.

“Honestly, Mrs. Shaw, how did you manage to raise someone so utterly repulsive?”

Yannis shot a disdainful glance at the daydreaming mother–daughter pair and thought, ‘What nonsense are they fantasizing about now?‘ After that, his face suddenly darkened as he turned to Maelis and the others.

Yannis shook his head as he spoke, and his expression radiated undisguised contempt.

Maelis and Yosef felt embarrassed and were desperate to retort, but the sight of Yannis’s smug, defiant face left them tongue–tied.
