His first reaction was to pull Kelsey into his arms and check her.
“Tucker, I don’t know why my sister yelled at me like that…”
Kelsey trembled as she cried.
“She said I was shameless, that I seduced you, that I’m a slut…”
“She even tried to attack me. Tucker, I was so scared…”
“You’re lying!”
My voice tightened.
“Kelsey, stop making things up! There are cameras in the living room!”
For a split second, her face went pale, but she immediately doubled down.
“I didn’t lie! If you hate me so much, I’ll just leave, okay?”
I laughed in anger. “You—”
“That’s enough.” Tucker cut me off. His gaze landed on me, cold and unfamiliar. “Verity, apologize to Kelsey.”
I froze. “You want me to apologize?”
“Kelsey doesn’t have those filthy thoughts you’re accusing her of. You’re the one with a dirty mind, twisting things out of jealousy! Shouldn’t you apologize for what you said?!”
At that moment, I almost couldn’t stay on my feet.
“Tucker, you don’t believe me?”
I stared at him. “I never said those things. Check the footage, and you’ll see she’s lying!”
“And what do you mean my mind is dirty? Can you honestly say nothing between you two crossed the line?!”
Like I’d hit a nerve, his expression darkened instantly.
