The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2695
Nolan 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 glance 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 blaming me? Do you have
any idea what she did? Why do you come at me with accusations 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 play nice with her.”
Just then, Imogen amped up her crying, playing 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 blame 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 playing the doting parent to
another woman's child while she, his own flesh and blood, was pushed aside. If it
weren't for Nolan's presence, she might have burst into derisive laughter.
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
