Although the two had known of each other, it was the first time they met head-on like this.
Charlotte looked disdainful and mocked, "Yo, I was just wondering who it might be, and it turns out to be Senator Sanchez's daughter. Do you still need to do these chores of moving things yourself?"
Juanita gave Charlotte a blank look and didn't bother to talk.
Charlotte could not bear it however, "Some people are just born with a life of odd jobs. No matter how powerful their parents might be, they just have to go to some foreign country to do odd jobs. And they seem to be so used to such jobs already and they never think of anything else when they are even finally back home."
"Huh."
Juanita straightened up, turned to Charlotte and sneered, "Not everyone is like you. You just can’t wait to show off with a little money and power."
Charlotte's face changed abruptly and she straightened up from the couch.
She had always been uncomfortable with Juanita. She knew Juanita was close to Joyce and would work against her in every way.
Originally she thought Juanita was just a poor girl with no money and no power, but she was surprised in the end.
Juanita was actually from a prominent high-ranking official family, whose status even the military would not dare to underestimate.
And Juanita now was the chief secretary of the municipal government.
It sounded like just a secretary, but it was not that simple at all.
What she had was a position of real power, whose hands might reach all sides, and she was holding such a significant position that no one could really afford to cross her.
When she came to the Capital, she was so angry that she didn't sleep for days since she knew Juanita's identity and background.
Juanita paused and continued to sneer, "But sure, you should not be blamed. Someone like me grew up with everything I had and that’s why I have no interest in showing off. And You grew up in an orphanage, suffering all kinds of humiliation, so once you have something, you would naturally love to show it off. Well you would sometimes just take things for granted if you have them all the times and you will pay it extra care if you never have those things before. Do you know why the old money has always looked down on the new money? That's why."
