Ava's proud demeanour crumbled a bit under Evelyn's murderous gaze. Her hair rose in fear as her body screamed danger run! But she refused to bake to her. Why is she, the elder siblings always bowing to her?, not anymore. She wouldn't accept it again. "What?, do you want to hit me?"she taunted but the latter laughed, a laughter that sent a chill down everyone's spine. "Won't that be considered animal abuse?" Evelyn asked in the same taunting tone except the emotions on her face was excellently portrayed. "How dare you?!. You'll leave this house this instant . I've had enough of you"she shouted and continued throwing the things into the pool, including the laptop. "Sister do something she'll destroy your things" Alicia aggrieved voice shouted at her but the latter calmly walked up to the person not in a rush at all. She planned on just pressuring her, but that thought soon changed when a bag that had a few cash and her late mother's belongings was thrown into the pool that as been mixed with mud and cow dung. Rage clouded her vision and she took a fistful of her hair in a tight grip almost tearing her scalp. "Aaaaah! Aaaaah! Let me go you crazy animal!" Ava screamed like a pig being slaughtered but she wasn't done yet. She kicked her, making her fall in her knees and Evelyn had her revenge which is still considered light to her. She used her Ava's purse to pack enough of the dirty water and began watching Ava's face with it. Ava screamed for help but as she opened her mouth, the water entered and she cried the more. For Ava who adores her face, this is a worse punishment. She might have a breakout. Evelyn then raised her up then pushed her into the pool. Apparently Ava can't swim, and began panicking, swallowing the water in her panic. Actually, she is in the shallow part, just that she can't feel the floor due to her panic,vso Evelyn decided to leave her, thinking age was drowning. A form of mental torture. Alexia watched in amazement and added petrol to the raging fire. A little mischief won't hurt. "Sister calm down, she's already drowning don't do anything anymore she'll die soon, we'll send this pathetic side of her to her fans and her dear Brother Tyler". Ava hearing this became so frightened. She thought that she might not actually die as she felt she was floating but hearing Alexia's words who btw is an excellent swimmer, she felt more panicked and flapped her hands here and there like a rabid chicken while simultaneously covering ger face. Her makeup must be ruined,this can't get out or they'll call her mad for swimming in a dirty and muddy pool. Evelyn didn't bother to look at her and walked into Ava's room, taking her designer handbags, clothes , jewelleries,shoes some designed by Wonder's assistant. When she came out, Ava had been rescued by their Butler, Butler Elijah. She was wrapped in a towel, shivering as angry tears spilled from her eyes. Evelyn seeing this ignored her, and removed the hair pin in her hair. While maintaining eye contact, the first pair was cool, cold and had a tinge of mischief and taunting while the other pair dilated as panic and helplessness flashed repeatedly in it. Before her, she began to scratch the designs and throw them in the pool one by one and the latter couldn't react, she dared not. But what broke her restraint was when Tyler's gift to her, as a token of his love. A beautiful diamond necklace was cut into two and thrown away. "You b**ch! I'll kill you" she shouted at the top of her lungs and lunged at her but the latter sidestepped and she fell back into the pool. "You're really miserable, I almost pity you" Evelyn said feigning remorse as her eyes met with Alicia who was beaming with joy. "Sister you have to teach me how you do this, you're so amazing!" Alicia praised with enthusiasm. "What happened to your hand?"she was the only one that noticed that her hand was bandaged. "A little accident it's nothing let's go in and have lunch, I'll make milk tea for you" she said and the latter said Yay!. It was evening when the entire household learnt of what has happened and Ryan who has always being bias took Clara's side. "You good-for-nothing ingrate!. You return home to make trouble again, are you cursed?!"he was fuming with anger and his blood boiled all over. "So it's my fault.When she threw my things in the pool it wasn't her fault right?. I'm not cursed but I'm sure you're blind. The truth is glaring at you and you ignore it. Are you blind?!"she was truly annoyed too. Her belongings were gone. "So you ruin Tyler's gift?. How dare you talk back at me?!"he snapped at her but she didn't flinch, instead she stared directly into his eyes and let out a mocking smile. "I can't believe I came out of you. You're a disgrace to fatherhood" she uttered with a tinge of disappointment. "What nonsense?! Don't you speak like that to your father!" The Old Madam joined and it seemed everyone is against her. "I've heard of the attitude you give him. Hang up whenever you please, talk back, insult him. Is this how you were raised in the countryside?!"she shouted at her for the first time and her nose turned sour as her eyes reddened with emotion. She bit her lips as tears glazed get eyes. What a family indeed. "You'll compensate her for Tyler's gift. Do I make myself clear?. Since you can spend 1.5million dollars and come home whenever you please, then you are independent and can compensate" the Old Madam said with a tinge of mockery and the latter laughed in disappointment. "I won't pay a dime. Tell her to compensate for my belongings then I'll do the same if not, if she dares asks me for compensation I'll beat her till she lands in the morgue" she was dead serious as she spoke. She would beat get to death. Ryan wanted to slap her but she held his hand in a tight lock, refusing to let go till she inflicts pain. "You did it successfully twice, but not this time. Never lay your hands on me till you die you bastard sperm donor! or I'll cut you into a million and one pieces and sell you to traffickers to earn money. If you think I'm lying, dare me."she said in a voice only the two of them could hear. "You're planning on beating dad too right?, if you don't respect me as your eldr sister, at least show dad some respect" Ava the sensible child spoke but Evelyn wasn't buying her pretense. Evelyn smiled then removed a pin from her inner clothes, piercing it into his skin. It was an acupuncture needle and Ryan's face paled badly. Sweat broke out from his forehead as he was in extreme pain and discomfort. "What did you do to me?"he asked through gritted teeth as he bent down and held his affected hand. "Just a lesson that'll last for a week. You won't dare use that hand to hit someone anytime soon" she replied with a devilish smile that scared him more than the thought of dying from the pain he felt. "Release my husband you jinx!" Caroline shouted wanting to hit her. "If you want to be next, go ahead and touch even the yem of my clothe and I'll show you help on earth. I don't threaten" she told her and of course the latter hesitated. "Evelyn what are you doing?!" The Old Madam asked as she stood up in shock. 'She knows acupuncture?'. "Nothing much, he'll just be in so much pain cutting his hand will be a better option for him. And you, you're to compensate me for the store incident and my belongings. Don't tell me you've forgotten the bet. The total compensation, is 6 kowtows,a sincere 5,000 words apology and 2 million dollars for my belongings. I want it by 7:00pm. You have an hour and 30 minutes. Don't bring it and you'll share the same fate as your father" age said then turned to leave but was stopped by Ava's questions. "Why are you this brutal, Why are you doing this?"she asked and Evelyn smiled before turning to answer. "I need to teach all of you a lesson. Consider it an ancestral mistake you're paying for. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The real game is about to begin".
