Song Ji Hun was not interested in whatever that was happening there, so he again looked into his book focussing in it.

"Mom.. mom" Kiaraa loudly shouted and snatched back the soft toy from Aera.

Aera was so frightened she let go of her toy and looked at the ground below. She was silently crying, being too afraid to even look at her sister.

Chu Yu Ri, Ji Seo Yun and Ian's mother Sa Da-Hye came rushing out, hearing Kiaraa's loud screams.

"What happened?" Kiaraa's mom worriedly asked seeing Kiaraa holding the soft toy and Aera silently sobbing.

"Mom, why did you give my soft toy to her?" Kiaraa shouted looking furiously at her mom.

Song Ji Hun was again disturbed by the sudden noise in his peaceful atmosphere. He stood up from his bench and stepped inside the house away from this drama.

In the living room, he found a corner spot on the couch and sat there, reading his book in peace.

He hates drama and prefers living in silence.

While in the lawn outside, the drama continued.

"Your sister loved this toy and asked me for it. When I checked with you a few minutes ago, you clearly expressed your disinterest in playing with it, so, I gave it to her. Instead of sitting between the dust in your room, this toy will be put to good use if Aera plays with it"

Chu Yu Ri patiently explained her actions to her eleven-year-old daughter.

"Mom, whatever belongs to me irrespective of my interest in it is mine. How can you give it away to Aera?" Kiaraa didn't care about the explanation provided to her by her mother, she was adamant on her stand.

"She is your sister, Kiaraa. What's wrong with she having the toy that you don't want?" Chu Yu Ri was slowly losing her cool.

"What's mine is mine" Kiaraa rudely answered her mother.

"Kiaraa, don't be rude to your mom" Ji Seo Yun, Song Ji Hun's mother scolded Kiaraa.

"Don't meddle in our family matters" Kiaraa disrespectfully warned Ji Seo Yun not bothering about the age gap between them.

"Kiaraa, don't talk to my mother like that" Song Ji Hwan chimed in and scolded his friend as he didn't like anyone disrespecting his mom.

"Then ask her to not interfere in my family matters" Kiaraa shouted at Song Ji Hwan before looking at her mother.

"Mom, I don't like sharing my stuff with anyone, especially this girl" she pointed at Aera, who was now sobbing even more, hurt by what her sister said.

"This girl? That's your sister, Kiaraa, she has a name." Chu Yu Ri frustratedly scolded her daughter.

"Sister?" Kiaraa scoffed looking at Aera and added, "Why should I acknowledge her as my sister?"

"Because she is" Chu Yu Ri raised her voice agitating Kiaraa even more.

"Did you ask for my permission before giving birth to her? Did you ask me if I want a sister or not? No, right? So, don't expect me to treat her like my sister" Kiaraa angrily declared and stepped inside the house only to be followed by her mother.

"Can you believe eleven-year-olds these days? Mannerless and rude" Ji Seo Yun muttered angrily.

"Seo Yun, she is a child, don't take her words to heart" Sa Da-Hye consoled her friend.

"Child? She doesn't act like a child at all. Yu Ri and Lee Myung Soo spoiled their daughter. Look at Aera, so polite and calm. Kiaraa should learn manners from her sister" Ji Seo Yun angrily spouted.

"They are children, you are a grown-up and yet you are acting like a child too" Sa Da-Hye smiled rubbing her friend's arm as she was trying to calm her down.

Hearing the soft sobs, the two women looked at Aera, who was still crying silently with her head lowered down.

Ji Seo Yun's heart wrenched in pain, seeing the small, petite child's condition.

"My baby, don't cry" Ji Seo Yun sat on her knees and gently pulled Aera towards her.

Wiping tears away from Aera's eyes, she promised, "I'll buy a bigger and better soft toy for you, okay?"

Aera smiled when she heard her favourite aunt's words and tightly hugged Ji Seo Yun, "Thank you aunty" she spoke in her soft voice.

Ji Seo Yun smiled and gently rubbed her back, "No need to thank aunty" she then carried Aera in her arms and stepped inside with Sa Da-Hye and their sons.

After stepping inside the living room, Kiaraa seriously looked around the big mansion, before stepping inside the kitchen.

"Kiaraa, where are you going? I am still not done talking to you" Kiaraa's mother followed her, looking agitated at her daughter's attitude.

'Why can't these people talk softly?' Song Ji Hun sighed seeing everyone, who was present outside the lawn, stepping inside the living room one after the other.

'Need to find some other place where no one can come' he thought to himself and was about to leave but the next second he was frozen at his spot, when he saw what Kiaraa carried with her while stepping outside the kitchen.

Kiaraa was holding a big butcher knife in her right hand.

Chu Yu Ri's eyes widened in shock, "Kiaraa where did you get that from? Give it to mommy"

The anger on Chu Yu Ri's face was replaced by panic as she was worrying if Kiaraa would end up hurting herself.

Kiaraa smirked seeing how worried her mother was. Ignoring her mom's plea, she placed the soft toy on the floor and with one swift motion, she cut the toy into two halves using that butcher knife.

Ji Seo Yun immediately hid Aera's face in her shoulder as she didn't wish for this child to witness such brutality.

Everyone else present there were shocked as they didn't expect Kiaraa would do something so brutal.

Everything happened so fast that no one was sure how to react as they were all stunned to even step ahead and stop her.
