Chapter 54

Liam stepped up to shield Isabel with his body. He answered Odell, “She brought us something to drink. Isabel was not expecting it to be so hot and accidentally lost her grip and dropped the cup on the floor, spilling the juice inside everywhere.” He transparently explained everything. Isabel backed her brother up. “He’s telling the truth.” Tara took a deep breath. Her eyes were turning red as she endured the pain and turned to Odell, “Odell, don’t be angry. I don’t think Isabel didn’t do it on purpose. She probably dropped it because it was too hot for her to hold.” Odell’s expression darkened. Perhaps it would have been better if she had said nothing at all. “This cup comes with an insulated cover. How is it that she got herself burned?” He glared at Isabel angrily again. “Isabel, tell me the truth. Did you do it on purpose?”

Isabel looked at him in utter disbelief.

Odell frowned.
