The Day Our Promise Breaks

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.

Every time, Charles was nice to her and doted on her, Charlie would always be envious and secretly sad, Whenever she became sad, Evelyn would feel sad, too. Their sadness would make Dahlia very happy.

Charles saw Sandy crying so heartbrokenly and changed his expression to one of utter coldness. "Evelyn, what are you playing at?!"

Evelyn watched the commotion, and her lips curved into a mocking smile.

Charles still thought Evelyn was making a fuss because he once stood Charlie up, making her follow in a fit of tantrum.

Even though Evelyn had told him more than once that Charlie was dead, he never believed it. It was utterly ridiculous.

"Making a fuss? What fuss am I making? Wasn't it Dahlia who called me here?"noveldrama

Evelyn's gaze was filled with mockery as she watched them acting in unison, her tone extremely cold.

Dahlia's eyes reddened further, feeling even more aggrieved.

"Yes, it was me who invited you over. But I did it out of respect for Charles. After all, Charlie is his daughter, and it went to is his I didn't want to put him in a difficult position. But if you're here to cause trouble, then you're not welcome. Please leave immediately!

The celebration was set to start at 2 PM. It was already 1:30 PM, with only half an hour left until guests would arrive one after another?

Dahlia couldn't wait to get Evelyn out

of there.

"Dahlia, it's easy to invite the devil in but hard to send him away." As Evelyn's words fell, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the red cloth on the table. Dahlia's pupils shrank as she realized what Evelyn intended to do.

"Stop!"
