“Who threw hot water at me?!”

Sophia was fuming. When she looked down, she saw Alden holding an empty glass.

The moment she saw him, she threw all caution to the wind and ran over to grab him by the collar. Then, she swung her hand at him.

Adina grabbed her hand midwing, even if it felt as if her bone was about to be crushed.

“Abusing my kids while I’m not around, Sophia? It’s been years since we last met, but you’re as uncivilized as ever.”

Adina flung her hand away and bent down to hug Alden and Melody.

Sophia was so angry that she felt as if she was about to combust.

She pointed at Melody and roared, “Your daughter slapped my son! Either let me slap her, or do it yourself!”

Adina looked over and saw the palm print on Leo’s face.
