"Grandma Taylor, sorry! Let me help Billy clean you up!"
Dustin marched out holding a full bucket of water—then dumped it straight across the living room.
In an instant, the place looked like a flood zone.
"Mom!" Richard tried to rush forward, but Julia threw her hands up and screamed, her shrill voice splitting the air.
"Ahhh! Sophia!"
Sophia, meanwhile, stood there innocently, holding Faye in one arm and tugging Billy up with the other.
"Quick—apologize to Grandma Taylor."
"Sophia! You did this on purpose!"
Aiden rushed to blot Julia's clothes with tissues.
"Yes, I did. And what exactly can you do about it?" Sophia shrugged casually.
No matter how furious they were, no matter how much they hated her, they couldn't lay a hand on her. Not with Lucas behind her.
"You! Sophia, I'm Lucas's aunt. Tell me, do you think he'd choose you over us?"
