Veronica threw herself into her father\u2019s arms, and her mother hurried over to hug her as well. Both of them glanced at Winnie, sensing the tension between the two girls, yet their hearts ached more for their own daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winnie had always been difficult. Cold, stubborn, impossible to manage. If it weren\u2019t for the family\u2019s debt of gratitude and the trust fund they\u2019d placed under her care, they wouldn\u2019t have indulged such an unruly, arrogant young lady.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWinnie! You embarrass yourself enough as it is-how can you act like this in front of everyone?\u201d Her father\u2019s voice was low but sharp, a mix of anger and exasperation. \u201cApologize to Veronica immediately, then go back inside and reflect on your behavior!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cApologize? For what? She threw juice at me. Shouldn\u2019t she be apologizing? And if you\u2019re going to favor your biological daughter this much, you shouldn\u2019t have adopted me in the first place. That way, at least no one would look ridiculous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winnie spoke calmly, taking the towel from the servant and brushing juice off her face and clothes as if no one else existed. She ignored the stares, the whispers, and took a step toward the exit. After all, they had forced her to attend this event; if they wanted her to leave now, she was more than willing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But her father\u2019s pride wouldn\u2019t allow it. Her words struck him like a slap to the face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUngrateful girl! You will apologize to Veronica right now, or you won\u2019t leave!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could even react, her father grabbed her and pulled her toward Veronica.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winnie only laughed. \u201cI\u2019m not apologizing. What are you going to do about it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her father\u2019s hand shot up in anger, and Winnie tilted her chin even higher, as if daring him to strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael, standing just behind her parents, felt his chest tighten. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, a figure moved faster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Olson, please don\u2019t!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Khloe. Her voice reached him clearly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked up to see her step between Winnie and her father, gently pulling Winnie back. With Khloe were Nick,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Loretta and Leon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe had only just arrived, but she immediately noticed the commotion-Winnie and Veronica in the middle of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She remembered how Winnie had once helped her at a charity gala. From that, Khloe could tell Winnie wasn\u2019t inherently cruel-just outwardly stubborn and cold. Veronica, by contrast, was the kind of pampered heiress who could be deliberately cruel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe\u2026\u201d Mr. Olson\u2019s anger softened immediately at the sight of her. \u201cIt\u2019s not that I want to ruin the atmosphere,\u00a0<\/p>\n
but Winnie is so difficult\u2026 I-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand,\u201d Khloe interrupted gently, a faint smile on her lips. \u201cEvery family has its troubles. Winnie certainly has her own personality, and yes, she can be impulsive. But look at her now-someone threw juice at her, and she\u2019s being scolded. How could she be in the mood to speak reasonably?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice was calm, diplomatic, yet carried a quiet authority. She then glanced at Veronica, whose red handprint across her cheek was unmistakable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Huddled in her mother\u2019s arms, Veronica\u2019s expression shifted from victim to fury. \u201cKhloe, this is none of your business! Even if I threw juice at Winnie, she hit me first. She\u2019s the one at fault!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winnie, noticing Michael\u2019s gaze fall on her, pulled free from Khloe\u2019s hold. \u201cThis isn\u2019t your concern. You don\u2019t need to defend me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
