Standing not far away was Andrea. As usual, she had a look of disdain on her face. She looked at me coldly and scorned. "Ugh, why is it so easy to meet someone you hate these days?"
I shrugged. "What a coincidence. It's the same for me as well!"
"You..." I wasn't as good as Andrea at fake crying or speaking in a cutesy manner but I knew how to fight back with my words when needed.
Valerie immediately came to Andrea's aid seeing that she was at a disadvantage. Valerie's face was edged with a hard coldness as she spoke, "Miss Reid, you look even more stunning than ever. Even the way you speak is imposing and high and mighty."
I laughed and said, "I think Miss Burton could say the same for herself."
"Arianna Reid, stop gloating over yourself. Do you think that you're so great? You're just a girl who got lucky and that is the only reason why your sorry fate changed!"
Wow, Andrea's mouth really doesn't filter words at all.
I smiled faintly and said indifferently, "That's true. But it is also true that if you're rotten to your bones. No matter how wealthy you are, you still won't be able to change the fact that you're rotten. Am I right, Madam Lawson?"
Everyone heard the hidden meaning behind my words. Valerie's face darkened as she caught the meaning. With a sound of warning, she said, "Miss Reid, sometimes it isn't good for people to be too proud or vain."
I nodded in agreement to her words. Just then, Nerissa, who was at the cafe, walked over.
