Two days had zipped by since the day she'd turned her cousin into a human pinata. The whole thing was as strange as a three-headed chicken. When Anna and Sylas had come home that day, Sylas had gone bananas, ranting and raving about how Everly had the audacity to lay a hand on their cousin.
But Anna had been as cool as a cucumber, explaining that Freya had filled them in on the details. According to Freya's version of events, Everly had stepped in to defend her because Calvin had pushed her so hard that she'd almost ended up in the hospital.
And get this - Uncle Zack and Grandpa Zhou had bought Freya's story hook, line, and sinker. They'd actually agreed that Calvin was the one in the wrong and had even punished him! Only Helen had refused to believe it, spewing a stream of insults at Anna and Everly. But Uncle Zack had quickly shut her up, and Grandpa had called in the Zhou family's private doctor to check on Calvin's battered body.
