Bonnie stared at Selina coldly and walked briskly toward her. Then, she tore the painting away from the latter.
“You did it because I dethroned you as the prettiest student on campus. On top of that, you’re trying to get back at me for badmouthing you in front of Coleman. Have I got that right?”
Selina thought about how Coleman was treating her coldly. Just like that, she no longer felt that she was in the wrong. Instead, she spoke in a self-righteous tone.
“It sounds like you know how badly you messed it up. After all, you’re a good-for-nothing hick. What makes you think you have the right or means to steal my man from me? Do you honestly think you could do it?”
Folding her arms across her chest, Bonnie shook her head gently.
“It looks like I did the right thing when I warned Coleman. It’s not just that. I really should’ve told him everything much earlier, so he’d stay far away from you.
“After all, you’re such a vengeful, wicked, and petty-minded lady. You would’ve ruined Coleman if you guys really ended up together.”
“Shut your trap!” Selina roared furiously.
‘She’s nothing but a despicable and uncivilized rube. That makes her worse than me in every possible way. What right does she have to be making such cutting remarks about me?’
“You’re the one who should shut up, Selina.” Bonnie stood calmly. Then, she looked at her from head to toe before shaking her head again.
“Seriously, Selina. You just… I’m sure of it now. You don’t deserve him.”
“Shut up! I’m telling you to shut the hell up. Do you hear me?!” Selina shrieked in an ear-piercing voice. Bonnie’s words cut into her so deeply that she could no longer hold herself back.
Swinging her arms, she darted after Bonnie menacingly.
Bonnie didn’t move a muscle. Just as Selina was within range, she raised her hand and grasped the former’s wrist with ease.
