The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 38

He tightened his grip, and a sharp pain followed.

Evelyn's hand loosened. Dahlia immediately turned and threw herself into Charles' arms. She covered her red and swollen cheek, stared at Evelyn with tears in her eyes, and accused her, "Evelyn, Charlie is your daughter. Why do you curse her to die, time and time again? Just because she couldn't win Charles' affection for you?"

"Dahlia, mention Charlie one more time, and believe me, I will ruin your mouth!" A vicious light flashed in Evelyn's eyes as she glared fiercely at Dahlia.

Even in death, Charlie was not spared from Dahlia's malice.

"You're bullying my mom. You're a wicked woman. You’re just like Charlie. You only know how to bully me and Mom."

Hearing the commotion outside, Sandy, dressed in a beautiful princess dress, rushed out to Evelyn's side. She grabbed Evelyn's hand and bit down hard.

Evelyn, with a cold face, pulled her hand back.

Sandy lost her balance and fell to the ground. She lay down, forgetting that right behind her was a freshly delivered cake tower, and fell into it.

Sandy initially pretended to cry, but once she saw the destroyed cake tower and her stained princess dress, she couldn't hold back any longer. She burst into tears.

"Sandy."

Dahlia rushed over, lifting Sandy from the cake, her eyes red with grievance. "Evelyn, you've gone too far! Sandy is just a child. How could you lay a hand on her!"

"Daddy, it hurts." Sandy immediately cried out to Charles with open arms. In front of Evelyn, she acted like a pitiful girl towards Charles.
