The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2891

Chapter 2891 

“Why do you have to be so rude? Can’t get pearls from a swine,” Madeline said, arms crossed, looking down on Regina as if marrying into the Harris family had elevated her to a different social plane altogether. 

Regina let out a light chuckle, “That kind of narrow-mindedness is typical of a country bumpkin like you.” 

Madeline’s face flushed red with anger. She loathed being called a country bumpkin, especially by someone like Regina. 

“Who are you calling a bumpkin?” 

“I’m just telling it like it is. Aren’t you a little bit of a hick? All rustic and unsophisticated.” 

“You? You!” Madeline was beside herself with fury. “For your information, I am the trendsetter at school. Even the Redwood family heiress asks for my advice when she goes shopping.

Madeline seemed to revel in the thought of Regina getting a dressing-down from Francis, her face lighting up with a victor’s smile. 

Regina was baffled. She couldn’t fathom what she had done to make them think she feared her father. 

So what if he scolds her? It goes in one ear and out the other. After all, she was Francis’ flesh and blood, not like Madeline, who was as good as an adopted daughter. 

Regina didn’t take her father’s scolding to heart, but Madeline was different. She always trod carefully in this household, never daring to show her dislike for Regina in front of Francis.

Francis’ only daughter. 

Regina was sure her father wouldn’t go out of his way to protect the adopted daughter at the expense of his own.
