When had Opal ever faced such disrespect? She was so angry that her words came out all jumbled, "Have the guts to say that to our face! Do you dare insult the Boyd family like this and face the consequences?"
Silence fell over the room.
Opal sneered, "A bunch of troublemakers, good only at running your mouths. You're only fit for blue-collar jobs, spending your lives working for others! You dare to cross paths with the Boyd family? What a joke!"
Rachel's face was drained of color, but Opal was too busy retaliating against those who dared to challenge her, completely ignoring Rachel's condition.
To Opal, pride was everything. Nothing else mattered, not even Rachel, who was just a pawn in her game!
Rachel's eyes were blazing with hatred as Opal continued her tirade, "I'll remember your faces, every single one. Get ready to pay the price!"
"Really? Then make sure you remember our faces very well!"
Luna led the charge, stepping forward with Matilda and Hala supporting her. Matilda locked eyes with Opal, noticing the blood on Rachel's forehead, but merely smiled, her gaze as sharp as Yvan's.
"I'm sure the matriarch would love to bring this up with the Layton family."
Luna was fearless, backed by a brother who was a high-ranking military officer.
