Chapter 884

Sisi sobbed, clinging to her father. “That’s my betrothal gift! You can’t take it, Dad. You always said people keep their word—but you’re… you’re a liar!”

Her father sighed, clearly worn out. The property deeds were safely back in his hands, and he wasn’t about to create a scene in front of Jayde. Without another word, he hoisted Sisi over his shoulder, her little fists swinging wildly.

Jayde turned to Lele and gently ruffled his hair. “She’s just a kid, Lele. Don’t take it to heart. But don’t ice her out at school, okay?”

Lele gave a tiny nod. “Got it.”

Back home, Mrs. Lepage burst out laughing when she heard what happened. “My grandson’s breaking hearts already? In kindergarten?”

But her tone shifted quickly. “Eight property deeds, though—that’s a serious family. If we can build a connection early, it might not be such a bad thing.”
