Biting her lip, Yannie picked up her skiing poles and left. It was not the first time she saw how degrading Denise could be. When Thomas was not at home that one time, Mrs. Howard had invited her to the house and Denise went over.
During that time, no one dared to object or displease her. Even Mrs. Howard acted humbly in front of her. Yannie, knowing nothing at the time, followed along and treated Denise with respect, seeing how everyone else did the same.
At the same time, she also remembered Denise was not a kind person nor someone she could cross. Now that they finally met in the ski resort, she did not want to cause any trouble, especially when Gwen and Luna were around.
"Leaving now?" Denise sneered as she saw Yannie turn. She crossed her arms at her chest while looking at Yannie with contempt. "If you're so scared of me, then why did you have the nerve to seduce my man?"
Just as she finished talking, a woman beside her rushed forward and grabbed Yannie's collar. "Where do you think you are going? Denise is still talking to you. How dare you leave?!"
Yannie struggled her way out when the plump woman grabbed her collar, albeit failing. In the end, she could only keep on trying and say, "Ms. Hughes, I don't want to have any conflict with you!"
"But I want to." Denise scoffed and walked toward Yannie. The smile on her face
became colder. "I heard you came from a poor family in your hometown. Your mom works as a nanny, right? If you didn't seduce Thomas, I bet you'd be the same as your mother—working as a maid for the rich."
Yannie's heart throbbed painfully. She gritted her teeth and looked up at Denise. " Ms. Hughes, my mother has nothing to do with us!"
"How is she not related?" Denise smiled creepily. "Didn't you bring your mother here, too? When one enters a different lifestyle, the family enjoys the benefits, too. Aren't your mom here to enjoy her life with you? Why can’t I comment on her? Besides
Denise sneered and gradually walked toward Yannie. "If your mother could raise a daughter like you, I don't think she’s any better than you!"
