Seeing the two of them mutter to each other, bent all over the place, Lori suddenly snorted in contempt." Marcus, your relatives are so fun."
Then, Lori glanced at Ruth again, and said, sounding a s if she was the master of the house. "Hi, since you’re my cousin's cousin, then that means you're my cousin too. Let me introduce myself; my name is Lori Gibson. I just returned from abroad. I'm sorry, Cousin, I didn't bring you a present today.” 1
Ruth:She stammered, scratching her head awkwardly.
"Coward!" Yvonne scolded. Then, Yvonne laughed coldly and looked at Lori. "I'm sorry but you're trying t o buy the wrong person! If you want to join the Shaw family, first you'll have to get through me, your cousin's girlfriend!"
Lori raised an eyebrow. "Ohm...I'm moving into the Shaw family residence today..."
"No! You'll leave the way you came!" Yvonne roared in anger. The way she looked with her hand on her hip, like a madwoman, was head and shoulders above Ruth.
Lori smiled casually, pleased that she seemed to hold the advantage.
Beside them, Sabrina could tell that her two friends
were just sharp-tongued, but in terms of tricks and schemes, even with both of them combined, they were nowhere near as skilled as Lori.
Amongst the three best friends, Sabrina was the calmest, and the one who could not be easily angered. She tugged at her two friends. "Alright, enough, calm down. You look ugly when you’re angry. Come on, let's head up to the office. For lunch today let's go for a healthy meal. My treat! Come on, let's head to work." She pulled her two friends behind her and left.
When they were waiting for the elevator, she said to Ruth casually. "Ruth, can’t you see? Your words do nothing to her. She's too thick-skinned.”
Yvonne added, "I realized that too.”
