“Kelly, the exit is that way. Why are you running toward the stables?”

Kelly turned her head and found Sharon watching her with a half-smile.

“Up ahead is the riding arena. With rain like this, the place is deserted. Are you planning to ride a horse in this weather?”

Kelly’s breath caught in her throat.

Seeing this, Johanna gave a faint shake of her head. The look she cast at Kelly was tinged with disdain. She had grown up in a scheming family, where every word and gesture was a calculated move. Tricks as shallow as Kelly’s were far too clumsy to impress her.

Victoria, too, had been the target of girls’ envy since childhood. She had seen plenty of underhanded tactics, and Kelly’s pitiful charade struck her as laughably weak.

The two of them watched silently, saying nothing.

Theo wanted to speak up for Kelly, but when he saw his mother’s stern expression-and noticed that his father remained silent -he swallowed the words back down. (1)

At that moment, Kelly felt like a caged monkey on display, watched with detached amusement.

In the end, it was Carter who broke the silence.

“Kelly, if you want to go back, then go. Change into dry clothes first. I’ll have someone see you home.”

Kelly’s eyes flew wide, fat tears spilling down her cheeks. She looked like a fragile stalk of cabbage beaten down by the storm, pitiful and helpless.

“Carter…”

Before she could say more, Sharon spoke again.

“Kelly, weren’t you leaving? What’s the matter? Don’t feel like leaving anymore? Or… you don’t know where the exit is?”

With that, she called for a staff member.

“This lady seems unfamiliar with the way out. Please show her.”

The staff responded with impeccable politeness. “Of course.”

She approached Kelly with a courteous smile. “Miss, would you like me to take you to the dressing room first?”

Kelly clenched her fists so tightly that her nails snapped against her palms, yet she felt no pain. She lowered her gaze, hiding the venom in her eyes. Her desire to see Sharon ruined grew fiercer.

Once Kelly had left, Theo finally explained why he had slipped away earlier.

“Mom, I accidentally dropped the charm you gave me. I saw it fall not far off, so I ran to get it…”

He opened his small palm.

Sure enough, a dampened charm lay in his hand.

Sharon froze for a moment. “Didn’t you give it to Kelly?”

Theo muttered, “I only lent it to Kelly. You gave it to me, Mom. I shouldn’t have let anyone else keep it. So I asked her to return it

to me.”

Sharon pressed her lips together, silent. After a while, she said softly, “Next time, if you need to fetch something, tell your father or me first, all right?”

Theo nodded sensibly. “I understand. From now on, I’ll always tell you first. I don’t want you and Dad to worry.”

Sharon let the matter drop.

Since both Theo and Thomas had been caught in the rain, they went to bathe and change into dry clothes.

Just as Thomas finished changing, he noticed a slender, all-too-familiar figure standing at the doorway. He lifted a brow and walked over.

“You haven’t left yet?”

Resentment burned in Kelly’s eyes. “Thomas, did you see it? Did you see how Sharon humiliated me just now? In front of everyone, she left me no way to save face! She’s bullying me, Thoinas. She’s bullying me!”

Her chest heaved violently, her emotions spinning beyond her control.
