"So what? Even if I'm useless, someone will still take care of me. Something like this will never happen to you!" She said in a bragging tone.
I couldn't stop myself from laughing, "Well, it's true that you might have someone to support you. It is what you're good at, after all. There are indeed a lot of people in the world who are incompetent but living a good life like you. Now I understand why Hendrix married me instead of you even though you met him first. I also understand why Austin, who was interested in you, ended up liking Chloe more. Andrea, a man can support you. But once time passes, they will give up on a useless woman like you sooner or later. You are like an abandoned plastic bag attached to a tree. You do nothing except polluting the environment. It may be fine if you stayed only for a short time, but after a long time, the environment will be affected. People will find you hateful and they will not hesitate to get rid of you. I don't know why you are so proud of yourself, but I have to remind you that garbage will eventually be disposed of."
"You..." These words were too harsh to hear. She bounced up from her seat and was so angry that her body started trembling. Her fists were clenched tightly, "How dare you to say that to me? Who do you think you are? Arianna, how are you different from me? You may be pregnant, but that doesn't mean you're better than me! Let me tell you, even if you're pregnant, you can have a miscarriage!"
Seeing her lunge towards me, my instincts told me that she was about to do something terrible to me. I immediately put myself on guard, but before Andrea could touch me, I was pulled away. When I opened my eyes, Andrea was already on the ground.
Hendrix said coldly, "This is my final warning to you. If you dare to hurt her, don't blame me for turning against you!"
Andrea was shocked when she was pushed to the ground. She looked at us with red-rimmed eyes. No, she was looking at Austin, who had appeared and was now standing next to me. Austin merely looked at her coldly. In the past, he would have helped her up.
But he didn't. Austin slid his hands into his pockets and looked at Andrea on the ground indifferently, as if she was a stranger.
Andrea's eyes were red. She looked at us and cried, "Why do you all bully me? I'm clearly the one who got hurt. Why do you bully me? Is it because I don't have a home?"
"That's enough!" Austin cut in and stared daggers at her, "Are you done? It's been more than 10 years now, aren't you done yet? Aren't you satisfied?"
Austin's sudden outburst was beyond my expectation. It was probably the same for Andrea as well. She stared at him in disbelief, "What do you mean?"
"Ha!" Austin laughed, "Don't you know what I mean? Andrea, don't you feel sick of yourself? How long are you going to continue acting like you're the victim? It's been so many years. Do you really think that we are fools? We stayed silent and went along with you for your brother's sake. But you never realize that you are the one who's in the wrong. For so many years, Hendrix and I have been generous to you. Go back to Ucrebury, I don't want to see you ever again."
