When Mia saw Sharon being pushed to the ground, she was stunned. She never expected Luna and Sharon to get physical.
Sharon, accustomed to a life of privilege and entitlement, had never been treated like this before, especially by Luna, whom she had always looked down on.
Sharon fumed as she spat, "How dare you hit me! Do you know who my son is?"
"I know who your son is. But even if he were here, I'd still defend myself. You started it, so this is just self-defense. What, should I just stand here and let you hit me? Dream on, you old hag."
Sharon countered, "How dare you call me an old hag? When you were trying to worm your way into the Barrett family, you groveled for years.
"Now, you’ve shown your true colors. I knew you were just after our money. I'll expose your true colors to Tim."
"Go ahead. I don't have to rely on your family anymore. Report me to whoever you want. Honestly, an old hag like you is lucky to have a son like Timothy. Otherwise, someone would've knocked you off ages ago."
Luna's biting remark left Sharon gasping for air. Sharon covered her chest as she struggled to find a retort.
Mia, caught up in the drama unfolding before her, briefly entertained the idea of recording the confrontation. She hadn't anticipated such a public clash between the two, and Luna's cutting words nearly knocked Sharon off her feet.
It was like watching a scene from a soap opera, except she was missing the popcorn.
