She moved with lightning speed, striking with a force that nobody expected. Viviana immediately let out a screech, clutching her face as she collapsed to the ground.
"Mama!"
Keira was horrified. She rushed over to Viviana, who now had a split lip and a rapidly swelling eye. The imprint of a cell phone was clearly visible on her left cheek.
Lauretta was also taken aback. Rachel heard the commotion from the bathroom and came out to see Viviana in this state. She clutched her chest in fright.
"Jeez, what on earth just happened?"
Abbie scoffed, and fearlessly uttered. "You think just because you've wormed your way into our circle, you're one of us? A mistress is a mistress. You'll always be second fiddle. Flaunting yourself like you're hot stuff?"
Rachel quickly understood the situation, and urged, "Call an ambulance, Abbie. What the hell were you thinking? What if she's seriously hurt?"
"I felt like hitting her, so I did. She even smashed my phone! Perfect. She can use her medical bills to compensate me for it."
Abbie picked up her bag, maintaining a poker face as she left.
"Hey, Abbie, we should all try to get along. You're making enemies."
"I have nothing to say to a mistress. Even if I offend the Summers family, let them come at me if they want. Without Yasmine, they're nothing!"
Abbie left without a backward glance. Rachel took her words to heart and also left after calling the ambulance.
Viviana was in tears from the pain, spewing obscenities through her sobs, while Lauretta frowned deeply.
"Mama! Please bear with it, stop talking!"
Keira felt both ashamed and furious. She couldn't stand it anymore.
