Chapter 566 Sally's Cry
Chapter 566 Sally's Cry
Terence frowned. He glanced at the servant who was responsible for watching the kids. "You were
supposed to be watching them. What happened?"
The servant glanced at Eunice with a scared look, and she lowered her head.
She saw what happened but she knew she couldn't say anything about it. She knew very well about
Eunice's character. If she offended her, she was not going to have an easy time working for the An
family.
"Terence, let it go. They are just kids. It's normal for them to fight over toys. You don't need to take it so
seriously,"
Eunice said. She lowered her head and looked at his son who was too afraid to talk.
Eunice didn't like that her son was terrified of Terence. He wasn't afraid of his father and grandpa.
But every time he saw Terence, he wouldn't dare say a word.
Sally started crying again after listening to Eunice.
"Ugh! No! Eric and his mommy are bad people. They bullied me! Ugh-ugh!"
Meanwhile, Carla had just gotten out of the bathroom and heard her daughter's distinctive loud cry. She
quickly put on her clothes and rushed downstairs.
"Sally?"
Carla called as she was running to her daughter.
Sally opened her arms and cried even harder, "Ugh-ugh! Mommy, Aunt Eunice and Eric are mad at Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
me!"
"Oh, really? Why is that? Did you do something wrong?"
Carla picked her up and held her. She wiped her baby's tears and asked her. Even though she was just
three years old, Carla knew she would not lie.
If it was just kids fighting for toys, Carla would let it go. But if Eunice was involved in, Carla would not
let it pass without handling it.
Terence glanced at a panic-stricken Eunice and the servant. The servant still had her head down.
His dark eyes turned even darker.
Carla had been missing for the past four years, and Eunice had been the only woman in the family. She
had been getting whatever she wanted, and that was all she cared about. Eunice and Eric were getting
too overbearing.
Now, his wife and daughter were back, so he had to do something.
This family should have a new hostess now.
"Mommy, Aunt Eunice said I am the little sister so I should let Eric have my toys. Ugh-ugh! She also
said that I am just a little girl who grew up in a poor village. Ugh-ugh! Grandpa said I am the prettiest
princess! I am not a poor village girl!"
Edmund's face turned red in anger. He glared at Eunice with a scary look on his face.
Eunice felt instantly embarrassed and awkward. She didn't expect that a three-year-old girl would
remember every single word she had just said.
"Sally, good girls don't lie! Eric is young and said a few words. He doesn't even know what they meant.
You can't put that on Aunt Eunice!"
Eunice changed her tactics and blamed Eric. After all, people were easy to forgive a child for saying
something bad.
"That's right! Sally, tell Mommy why Aunt Eunice would say something like that to you?" Carla put Sally
on a chair and asked.
"Mommy! Ugh-ugh... I didn't lie! I don't lie!"
"She said, I am a just a poor village girl! Ugh... I didn't lie!"
Sally pouted her lips. Even though she was young, her anger was visible. She stared angrily at Eunice
and Eric with her round, tearful eyes.
Eunice couldn't even look at Sally and thought, 'What a nuisance! Sally is a sharp-tongued girl. Got to
be more careful!'
Sally seemed to not want to let this go easily.
"Eunice, please ask Eric to apologize! Sally is Terence's daughter. We are a family. He shouldn't say
something like that to his younger cousin,"
Rhys said. Others might believe that Eunice was innocent, but he was her husband. He knew very well
that Eunice was perfectly capable of saying such an awful thing to Sally.
But he also knew that right now the easiest way to solve this was to put the blame on his son.
"I..."
Eunice gave Rhys an angry look, gnashing her teeth. She was angry that he didn't stand up for their
son and even pointed his finger at him.
"Eric, apologize right now!"
Rhys scolded Eric who was hiding behind Eunice.
Eric was the first and only son. Everyone in the family loved him. He was everything in the world to
Eunice. But he was spoiled and refused to make an apology. He jumped out of his cover and shouted,
"No! Why do I have to apologize to her? It's just a stupid toy. Humph! I don't want it anymore!"
"Frederick, don't speak like that to me! Apologize now!" Rhys was not very happy with Eric's response,
so he pulled a long and scary face and called him by his full name to assure him that he was angry.
Eric knew he had made his father angry. He quickly grabbed and hid behind Eunice's shirt and said,
"Mommy, I am tired! Can we please go to sleep?"
Rhys was about to explode. At the moment, Edmund whispered in his ear and walked away, "Rhys, I
am tired. Would you help me go upstairs?"
Rhys choked back his rage. Normally, it was not a big deal for kids to have a fight over toys. But this
was Sally's first time in the house and Edmund was not very happy to see his grandchildren fight over a
toy.
Edmund left.
But Eunice was still feeling rather anxious, and she backed up a few steps with Eric.
"Will do, Father."
Rhys looked at Eunice and followed Edmund upstairs.
Eunice had a bad feeling about this. She looked around and didn't see Terence around.
Then, she grabbed Eric by the hand and walked to Carla.
"Carla, please don't take this the wrong way! They were just fighting over a toy. It was really not as bad
as you think! Please don't get upset over a kids' fight!"
Eunice said. She didn't want to make the situation worse. Carla was the hostess of the family after all
even though she had just come back.
"Eunice, don't worry about it. I won't take it out on a kid," Carla said casually and picked Sally up into
her arms.
"Sally, let's go to bed. Okay?"
Sally nodded and shot at Eunice and Eric an angry look. Then, she held Carla's neck and let her
mommy carry her to their room.
——
Not long after they were in their room, Terence walked in.
"Where did you go?"
Carla didn't know where Terence went. However, she knew he was right to stay away from the
situation.
If he stood up for Sally and Rhys stood up for Eric, the situation would have been worse.
"Nowhere. You know what happened though, don't you? Eric took Sally's toy. Eunice came and helped
her son. She asked Sally to give the toy to Eric and said few bad words. Sally didn't want to give up her
toy so she started crying."
Terence had gone to talk to the servant.
He wanted to know if it was just a kids' fight like Eunice had said.
If it was, he would just let it go.
But that wasn't the case and Eunice had bullied his daughter. He was going to teach her a lesson.
Sally had just come into his life. He was not going to watch people mistreat her.
Thinking of what just happened, Terence cracked a big and satisfied smile. He couldn't feel prouder for
having such a smart daughter. Her tears and complaints had successfully won Edmund's favor.
Edmund was going to have a serious talk with Rhys.
It seemed that Rhys and Eunice were not going to have a good night's sleep.
