Chapter 2695


    Nn watched the drama unfold before him, shaking his head with a wry smile. What a circus, he


    mused.


    Regina’s life seemed to be less than ideal, constantly dealing with two drama queens. No wonder she


    was eager to move out as soon as she hit 18.

    He thought the truth was crystal clear, but Francis, with a stern face, strode forward and confronted his


    daughter. “Regina, why on earth are you bullying your sister?”


    Imogen was beside herself with tears, stumbling to her knees in front of Madeline, caressing her face


    and searching her body for injuries. “Madeline, tell me if there’s anywhere else that hurts.”


    Madeline sniffled and shook her head, casting a timid nce at Regina, who quickly averted her gaze.


    It was as if she had lied under the pressure of Regina’s intimidating presence. Regina was at a loss for


    words.


    “Dad, did you even see what happened? Why are you ming me? Do you have any idea what she


    did? Why do youe at me with usations right off the bat?”


    Francis’s face was like set stone. “No matter what Madeline did, you must never resort to violence.


    Have you forgotten all the manners I’ve taught you? The phrase ‘sibling harmony’ doesn’t ring a bell?”


    Regina scoffed coldly. “Her? I’m hardly obliged to y nice with her.”


    Just then, Imogen amped up her crying, ying the part perfectly. “Regina, I know you don’t like


    Madeline, but she’s still your sister in name. She’s still young. What if you really hurt her? I’m not


    asking for much; I’ve been good to you, hoping you’d be kind to my daughter. Why can’t you show a


    little empathy?”


    Francis, hearing the wails, turned around, crouching down with concern to examine Madeline.


    “Sweetie, Madeline, tell me if you’re hurting anywhere. We’ll go straight to the hospital if we need to.”


    Regina watched the three in their heartwarming scene, her fists clenched.


    Wasn’t Francis her father too? Why was he so quick to me her and coddle someone else’s child?


    “Daddy, I’m really okay; please don’t be mad at Regina.”


    The absurdity of it all. Regina’s biological father was ying the doting parent to another woman’s child


    while she, his own flesh and blood, was pushed aside. If it weren’t for Nn’s presence, she might


    have burst into derisiveughter.


    After helping Madeline to her feet, Francis gave Regina a look of frustrated disapproval. “Since


    Madeline says she’s fine, we’ll leave it at that. Regina, I have to tell you, you’re not getting any younger,


    and your temper is getting out of hand. Sometimes, I feel like I can’t even control you anymore.”


    Regina crossed her arms and let out a coldugh. “Oh, why bother with me? Just look after someone


    else’s daughter, and that’ll do!”


    Francis, catching sight of Nn still standing there, swallowed his retort.


    “We’ll discuss our family matterster. Come, let me introduce you to Mr. Nn Harris from the Harris


    Group. Mr. Harris, I apologize for this little scene. Having two girls close in age at home often leads to


    spats, and as their father, it’s my duty to step in.”
