At the sight of Sylphiette, Kyle immediately asked the bodyguards to back off so that when she fell into the pond later, she wouldn’t be rescued by them too quickly.
As per his instruction, the bodyguards retreated to the front yard. Sylphiette thought it was a good idea too because there would be no eye witness who could tell on her later when she taught the kids a lesson.
She pointed her finger at Juan and Maya as she fumed, “What are the two of you shouting about?”
Thinking about how rudely Sylphiette had treated her and Nina moments ago, Maya’s courage was boosted with the presence of Kyle and Juan whom she knew were going to protect her.
“You’re a bad woman! You’re a witch!”
“How dare you go on!”
Sylphiette gritted her teeth resentfully as her face was twisted with fury.
Then, she stormed off toward the girl and intended to beat her up as punishment.
The kids had anticipated that from her in advance. Swiftly Maya dodged her hands while Kyle, Juan and Nina worked in tandem to push her toward the pond with all their might.
A splash in the pond was heard which was followed by a round of rapturous cheer as the kids started chanting, “The witch’s fallen into the pond! She’s fallen into the pond! How great is that?!”
“Help—”
Although Sylphiette could swim, she started yelling for help because the water in the pond was too cold for her to swim around.
After making sure that she had fallen into the pond, Juan and Kyle took their seats before the drum set while Maya took the tambourine as they launched into another round of clamor to overwhelm Sylphiette’s voice.
“You witch, how dare you spill the milk at Maya and me. You deserve to spend some time in the pond!”
“Help—”
Sylphiette shouted for help at the top of her lungs, but the louder her voice was, the more excited the kids became.
When she tried to get up after laboriously swimming to the bank, Nina started hitting her slender fingers with a wooden stick.
“You witch, get back to the pond! Get back now!”
Flames of anger were burning ferociously in Sylphiette at the moment. She vowed to make sure the naughty kids suffered for their mischief when she managed to get back to the ground later.
In the meantime, the kids were observing her condition with much relish and it was only when they noticed she was losing her energy and sinking into the pond did they ask the bodyguards to scoop her up.
When she was carried back to her room, she appeared to have fainted because of the freezing water. At the sight of this, the bodyguards immediately called Evan to inform him of her condition.
As Sylphiette’s life was at stake, Evan immediately drove his way back to Rose Garden without hesitation.
The kids couldn’t help but be seized by spasms of terror when they noticed how angry their father appeared when he rushed back to the mansion. Would anything bad happen to the witch?
Would Daddy punish us in the event anything bad happens to her?
By the time Evan arrived at Sylphiette’s room, the family doctor had already started giving her treatment.
It was only after some time did she regain her consciousness. The moment she saw Evan, she started shedding tears right away not bothering to maintain her image.
During the time she was immersed in the pond, she really thought that she was on the verge of dying.
“Sylphiette, how do you feel now?”
Looking pale, she spoke in a frail but firm voice with her pale lips quivering, “Evan, Nicole wanted to murder me by making use of the kids! You have to do justice for me!”
In an instant, Evan’s handsome face turned frigid which brought about a drastic drop in the room temperature at the same time. As soon as Sylphiette finished complaining, she started sobbing miserably.
Evan then looked at the doctor who sighed. “Mr. Seet, the problem would be much more serious if Ms. Lane were to be rescued any later just now. It’s not good to be soaked in the freezing water for too long in such cold weather.”
“Are the kids the culprit behind this?”
Evan glanced at the bodyguards.
Looking at his face which looked as bleak as a Grim Reaper, the bodyguards knew Evan would definitely do everything he could to get to the bottom of this matter.
Not bold enough to keep him in the dark, they decided to come clean.
After listening to their narration, Evan rose to his feet and strode off toward the backyard, exuding an icy aura.
The kids couldn’t help but be terrified when they spotted him.
“Daddy is looking so angry. Will he punish us?”
“Just tell him it’s my idea because I’m not afraid of him!”
Nina spoke audaciously like a gang leader.
Juan opined, “We can’t say that because he won’t go easy on you as he has no idea that you’re really his daughter. If we tell him that it’s our idea, he will be lenient to us because he knows we are his sons.”
