Maya spoke with a grin, “Aunt Sylphiette, we’d like a favor from you.”
Nina added, “Aunt Sylphiette, I was told that you’re a really talented dancer and we’d like you to be our teacher.”
Do they want to learn how to dance?
Sylphiette stared at the girls contemptuously as though they were two exotic creatures. Then, she sneered at them and turned them down without hesitation, “I don’t have time for that. Now, get back to where you’re supposed to be and don’t come here unless it’s necessary. Understand?”
Maya, who didn’t expect Sylphiette would speak so rudely to them, rubbed her hands anxiously as she threw a nervous look at Nina.
Nina was not afraid of trouble. She glared at Sylphiette with raging fury burning in her eyes.
“Go away now! Do I have to sing a song to coax you girls to do that?”
Sylphiette spoke in an undertone and her face was distorted with frustration.
Seeing the girls standing rooted to the spot, she cast them a baleful glance before picking up a glass of nicely warmed milk and spilled them at the floor near where the girls were.
Tears started welling in Maya’s eyes as the little girl looked at the blotches of milk stain on the brand new pair of shoes Mommy just bought her.
That witch is so fierce!
Holding Maya’s chubby hand, Nina glowered at Sylphiette before walking away with a cocky look on her face.
Sylphiette couldn’t help but grumble under her breath looking at the back of the girls. It was not a good idea to be too friendly with them so that they wouldn’t come pester her in the future.
At the same time, she saw the need to come up with a plan to oust them from Rose Garden.
Knitting her brows together, she sat down before the dressing table and sank deep in her thoughts.
Maya lamented when they were outside, “What should we do if she refuses to come over? I’ve dirtied my new shoes for this.”
“Don’t worry. I have a plan,” reassured Nina.
At first, Nina only intended to take revenge on that witch for her Mommy’s sake but after how harshly that witch treated them just now, she decided to settle the scores with her once and for all by making sure she was properly pranked.
When they returned to the pond, Nina approached Kyle and told him about their interaction with Sylphiette next to his ears.
He fell silent immediately after he heard her. At the sight of Maya’s shoes which were stained with milk, his impassive face went livid with rage.
That witch must be tired of living for having the audacity to bully both his Mommy and his sister!
Sylphiette was just about to head outside after making sure she looked her best when she spotted Evan’s bodyguard approaching her at a hurried pace.
“Ms. Lane, there’s something I have to inform you.”
“What’s the matter?”
Sylphiette instantly adopted a different attitude when she was dealing with the bodyguard.
Behaving elegantly and amiably with a faint smile on her face, she appeared like a lady who was born in a noble family.
After some contemplation, the bodyguard answered her as per Kyle’s instruction.
“Kyle and Juan are shouting degrading remarks about you while hitting the drums by the pond right now. Do you think you should stop them as their words will affect your reputation adversely?”
Sylphiette’s face turned extremely sullen in response.
There was no way she could stand being the target of slanderous remarks that was capable of tarnishing her image.
How dare they make remarks like that about me! They must be looking for trouble!
Evan would not allow them to do so if he were here.
However, they were still his sons and she expected him to only criticize them for what they did even if she called him to complain about their behavior.
She was sure he would not go as far as beating them up.
Therefore, she decided to teach them a lesson herself before bringing the complaint to him.
Clenching her fists tightly, she marched towards the pondside.
She could hear the ear-splitting sound of the drums and the tambourines before she even reached there.
Amidst the sound of the musical instruments was the sound of the kids shrieking and shouting. She listened to the clamor carefully to make out the voices of Juan and Maya, who was born with a loud voice.
“Sylphiette’s head is kicked like a ball toward the shopping center where it’s sold together with all other normal balls—”
After finished chanting, Juan stuck out his tongue and made a funny look with his face. At the same time, he worked hard on the drum set to produce a fantastic tempo.
Maya, who was blessed with a loud voice, was screaming at the top of her lungs while playing the tambourine. She even matched it with some dance moves by kicking her chubby legs to make her performance more exciting.
The two kids who were born to be performers got all the bodyguards at Rose Garden doubled up with laughter.
Meanwhile, Sylphiette’s face looked extremely churlish as she couldn’t believe the kids actually had the guts to talk so badly about her. Looking hostile, she walked in their direction.
