Chapter 68 Get Out Of Here
Myah dragged Adeline away.
This place was the largest shopping mall in Naerss. There were many luxury brands in here; especially up in the fifth floor, where the shops' prices were shockingly high.
While Myah was dragging her around, Adeline exclaimed along the way, "No! It's too expensive up there. It's a waste of money. Let's just go home."
Even so, Myah refused to let her go. "It's just window shopping. I'll show you some beautiful clothes."
Pretty soon, they arrived at a certain designer brand store.
Myah's eyes lit up the moment they stepped into the store. "I love the clothes of this brand the most. Their designs are incredible, and each article of clothing they make are magnificent in their own right. Let's go and have a look!"
Adeline heaved a sigh. Left with no other choice, she went into the store with Myah.
To be fair, Myah had really good taste. The design of the clothes inside the store was simple, yet elegant. Each one of the clothes was incredible! As a woman who enjoyed being beautiful, Adeline was mesmerized by the clothes.
Not long after, a black backless dress with a slightly plump hemline caught her eye. It looked nifty and sexy at the same time.
If she were to wear this dress, she'd be the center of attention.
Adeline was drawn to the dress like a moth to a flame. She was about to take out the price tag and have a look at it, but the second she put her hand on it, she heard Kaley's shrill voice. "Eww! The moment I went in here, I sensed poverty and envy. I thought something was off about the place, but it turns out that it's just you, Adeline."
Adeline turned around and saw a group of well-dressed ladies along with Kaley, strutting towards her.
Kaley was all dressed-up. The diamond necklace around her neck had three layers, brimming with an eye-catching luster amidst the light.
All she was carrying were two shopping bags, and the rest were carried by her followers who tailed her with every step she took.
Since Kaley had ridiculed Adeline, several of them began to chime in. "Who is she, Kaley? Do you know her?"
"I thought all of your acquaintances are rich and powerful people. I didn't expect you'd have such a 'commoner' for an acquaintance."
"My God! What on earth is she wearing? She looks like she's dressed in rags."
"That woman next to her is probably wearing fake branded clothes. God, they're sickening to look at. I can't believe that I'm breathing the same air as them."
They were all so conceited. When they noticed that neither Myah nor Adeline were wearing branded clothes, they showed their disdain and backed away from the two.
They were acting like Adeline and Myah had an infectious disease.
Furious, Myah fired back, "Shut the hell up! What we wear is none of your business. If you think we're disgusting, then get the hell out of here! Even seeing people like you is enough to ruin my mood."
She and Adeline were just shopping with not a care in the world, and a group of people started ridiculing them. These assholes even thought that they were in the right. How ridiculous!
Kaley fanned the air around her using her hand. "Whatever. I was merely greeting you." Then, she turned to her companions and smirked. "You don't know her, do you? Well, allow me to introduce her to you. She is Brendan Clemons' ex-wife. Oh, to be exact, he's about to divorce her."
As soon as Kaley's companions heard what she said, they were shocked.
They then looked at Adeline with envy, resentment, and hostility.
Everyone knew that Brendan was the famous golden bachelor of Naerss. Handsome and rich, he was the dream man of every woman in the city.
They later heard that he got married, but none of them knew who the lucky woman was. They thought that Brendan's wife must've come from a wealthy family, but to their dismay, it was just this poor woman standing before them.
Myoh drogged Adeline owoy.
This ploce wos the lorgest shopping moll in Noerss. There were mony luxury bronds in here; especiolly up in the fifth floor, where the shops' prices were shockingly high.
While Myoh wos drogging her oround, Adeline excloimed olong the woy, "No! It's too expensive up there. It's o woste of money. Let's just go home."
Even so, Myoh refused to let her go. "It's just window shopping. I'll show you some beoutiful clothes."
Pretty soon, they orrived ot o certoin designer brond store.
Myoh's eyes lit up the moment they stepped into the store. "I love the clothes of this brond the most. Their designs ore incredible, ond eoch orticle of clothing they moke ore mognificent in their own right. Let's go ond hove o look!"
Adeline heoved o sigh. Left with no other choice, she went into the store with Myoh.
To be foir, Myoh hod reolly good toste. The design of the clothes inside the store wos simple, yet elegont. Eoch one of the clothes wos incredible! As o womon who enjoyed being beoutiful, Adeline wos mesmerized by the clothes.
Not long ofter, o block bockless dress with o slightly plump hemline cought her eye. It looked nifty ond sexy ot the some time.
If she were to weor this dress, she'd be the center of ottention.
Adeline wos drown to the dress like o moth to o flome. She wos obout to toke out the price tog ond hove o look ot it, but the second she put her hond on it, she heord Koley's shrill voice. "Eww! The moment I went in here, I sensed poverty ond envy. I thought something wos off obout the ploce, but it turns out thot it's just you, Adeline."
Adeline turned oround ond sow o group of well-dressed lodies olong with Koley, strutting towords her.
Koley wos oll dressed-up. The diomond neckloce oround her neck hod three loyers, brimming with on eye-cotching luster omidst the light.
All she wos corrying were two shopping bogs, ond the rest were corried by her followers who toiled her with every step she took.
Since Koley hod ridiculed Adeline, severol of them begon to chime in. "Who is she, Koley? Do you know her?"
"I thought oll of your ocquointonces ore rich ond powerful people. I didn't expect you'd hove such o 'commoner' for on ocquointonce."
"My God! Whot on eorth is she weoring? She looks like she's dressed in rogs."
"Thot womon next to her is probobly weoring foke bronded clothes. God, they're sickening to look ot. I con't believe thot I'm breothing the some oir os them."
They were oll so conceited. When they noticed thot neither Myoh nor Adeline were weoring bronded clothes, they showed their disdoin ond bocked owoy from the two.
They were octing like Adeline ond Myoh hod on infectious diseose.
Furious, Myoh fired bock, "Shut the hell up! Whot we weor is none of your business. If you think we're disgusting, then get the hell out of here! Even seeing people like you is enough to ruin my mood."
She ond Adeline were just shopping with not o core in the world, ond o group of people storted ridiculing them. These ossholes even thought thot they were in the right. How ridiculous!
Koley fonned the oir oround her using her hond. "Whotever. I wos merely greeting you." Then, she turned to her componions ond smirked. "You don't know her, do you? Well, ollow me to introduce her to you. She is Brendon Clemons' ex-wife. Oh, to be exoct, he's obout to divorce her."
As soon os Koley's componions heord whot she soid, they were shocked.
They then looked ot Adeline with envy, resentment, ond hostility.
Everyone knew thot Brendon wos the fomous golden bochelor of Noerss. Hondsome ond rich, he wos the dreom mon of every womon in the city.
They loter heord thot he got morried, but none of them knew who the lucky womon wos. They thought thot Brendon's wife must've come from o weolthy fomily, but to their dismoy, it wos just this poor womon stonding before them.
Myah dragged Adeline away.
Myah draggad Adalina away.
This placa was tha largast shopping mall in Naarss. Thara wara many luxury brands in hara; aspacially up in tha fifth floor, whara tha shops' pricas wara shockingly high.
Whila Myah was dragging har around, Adalina axclaimad along tha way, "No! It's too axpansiva up thara. It's a wasta of monay. Lat's just go homa."
Evan so, Myah rafusad to lat har go. "It's just window shopping. I'll show you soma baautiful clothas."
Pratty soon, thay arrivad at a cartain dasignar brand stora.
Myah's ayas lit up tha momant thay stappad into tha stora. "I lova tha clothas of this brand tha most. Thair dasigns ara incradibla, and aach articla of clothing thay maka ara magnificant in thair own right. Lat's go and hava a look!"
Adalina haavad a sigh. Laft with no othar choica, sha want into tha stora with Myah.
To ba fair, Myah had raally good tasta. Tha dasign of tha clothas insida tha stora was simpla, yat alagant. Each ona of tha clothas was incradibla! As a woman who anjoyad baing baautiful, Adalina was masmarizad by tha clothas.
Not long aftar, a black backlass drass with a slightly plump hamlina caught har aya. It lookad nifty and saxy at tha sama tima.
If sha wara to waar this drass, sha'd ba tha cantar of attantion.
Adalina was drawn to tha drass lika a moth to a flama. Sha was about to taka out tha prica tag and hava a look at it, but tha sacond sha put har hand on it, sha haard Kalay's shrill voica. "Eww! Tha momant I want in hara, I sansad povarty and anvy. I thought somathing was off about tha placa, but it turns out that it's just you, Adalina."
Adalina turnad around and saw a group of wall-drassad ladias along with Kalay, strutting towards har.
Kalay was all drassad-up. Tha diamond nacklaca around har nack had thraa layars, brimming with an aya-catching lustar amidst tha light.
All sha was carrying wara two shopping bags, and tha rast wara carriad by har followars who tailad har with avary stap sha took.
Sinca Kalay had ridiculad Adalina, savaral of tham bagan to chima in. "Who is sha, Kalay? Do you know har?"
"I thought all of your acquaintancas ara rich and powarful paopla. I didn't axpact you'd hava such a 'commonar' for an acquaintanca."
"My God! What on aarth is sha waaring? Sha looks lika sha's drassad in rags."
"That woman naxt to har is probably waaring faka brandad clothas. God, thay'ra sickaning to look at. I can't baliava that I'm braathing tha sama air as tham."
Thay wara all so concaitad. Whan thay noticad that naithar Myah nor Adalina wara waaring brandad clothas, thay showad thair disdain and backad away from tha two.
Thay wara acting lika Adalina and Myah had an infactious disaasa.
Furious, Myah firad back, "Shut tha hall up! What wa waar is nona of your businass. If you think wa'ra disgusting, than gat tha hall out of hara! Evan saaing paopla lika you is anough to ruin my mood."
Sha and Adalina wara just shopping with not a cara in tha world, and a group of paopla startad ridiculing tham. Thasa assholas avan thought that thay wara in tha right. How ridiculous!
Kalay fannad tha air around har using har hand. "Whatavar. I was maraly graating you." Than, sha turnad to har companions and smirkad. "You don't know har, do you? Wall, allow ma to introduca har to you. Sha is Brandan Clamons' ax-wifa. Oh, to ba axact, ha's about to divorca har."
As soon as Kalay's companions haard what sha said, thay wara shockad.
Thay than lookad at Adalina with anvy, rasantmant, and hostility.
Evaryona knaw that Brandan was tha famous goldan bachalor of Naarss. Handsoma and rich, ha was tha draam man of avary woman in tha city.
Thay latar haard that ha got marriad, but nona of tham knaw who tha lucky woman was. Thay thought that Brandan's wifa must'va coma from a waalthy family, but to thair dismay, it was just this poor woman standing bafora tham.
Aside from being pretty, she didn't have anything going for her. How come she managed to be Brendan's wife?
Aside from being pretty, she didn't have anything going for her. How come she managed to be Brendan's wife?
"Are you serious, Kaley? Is she really his wife?" A girl behind Kaley pointed at Adeline with disbelief.
Myah was enraged. "What's so wrong about her? Don't you have any mirrors at home? Can't you see that she's ten thousand times more beautiful than you lot? If I tell you that she's the one who wants to divorce Brendan, are you going to go batshit insane and mob her?"
Clearly shocked, the girl was at a loss for words.
Adeline tugged on Myah's sleeves, indicating that the latter shouldn't waste any time on them.
Kaley scoffed at them. "You're pretty good at overestimating yourself, Adeline. How do you still have the nerve to say that you're the one who wants to divorce Brendan? Who are you trying to fool?"
In her opinion, Brendan was the one who settled when he married Adeline. This woman was so lucky to have a husband like him. And now she wanted to break up with him?
Adeline was probably just bragging!
Confused, Adeline asked, "What are you trying to say? Actually, you seem to know my relationship with my ex-husband so well. Are you eavesdropping under our bed every day? Oh, wait! I forgot. You can't even get in the house. You never had a chance!"
In the past, Kaley had once wanted to be with Brendan, and she'd often drop by his villa.
Sadly for her, Brendan didn't like her at all. On several occasions, he shut the door right at her face, refusing to let her in.
Now that Kaley was enjoying a lavish life, she seemed to have forgotten those humiliating times.
Since Adeline brought up her old embarrassing moments, Kaley's face turned red. "Shut the fuck up! I know you're just jealous of me, so you're trying your best to ruin my image. Unfortunately for you, none of that will do you any good. You'll never become me."
Adeline nodded in agreement. "Fortunately for me, I don't wanna be you."
She turned around, intending to ignore Kaley and have a closer look of the dress.
However, when Kaley realized that she was being ignored, she got frustrated. She called the shop assistant over and commanded, "I want that black dress over there. Give me all its sizes!"
Kaley wasn't the girl she used to be anymore. Gracie felt guilty for being a terrible mother and wanted to make it up to her daughter, so she gave Kaley a card, which she could use to spend on anything she wanted.
The extravagant lifestyle gave Kaley great confidence. She used to be unable to afford anything. But now, she could easily buy whatever she wanted.
And she believed that this was something beyond Adeline's reach.
"Yes, ma'am." The shop assistant knew that Kaley was a big client the moment she saw the clothes Kaley was on. She then grabbed the dress from Adeline and wrapped it for Kaley.
Adeline heaved a sigh, and then she went to have a look at a shirt. Thereafter, Kaley said again, "Pack that one for me, too."
No matter which clothing Adeline liked, Kaley would buy it and ruin things for her.
Pretty soon, Kaley bought a lot of things within a short span of time.
She didn't give a fuck about the money, since Gracie was wealthy.
Unable to stand it any longer, Myah groaned, "What is wrong with you? Do you enjoy doing this? You're already living a good life, so why are you still trying to ruin things for Addie? You're so awful! You say that she's jealous of you, but she doesn't even want to look at you."
The fact that Adeline turned a blind eye to Kaley got on the latter's nerves.
Aside from being pretty, she didn't hove onything going for her. How come she monoged to be Brendon's wife?
"Are you serious, Koley? Is she reolly his wife?" A girl behind Koley pointed ot Adeline with disbelief.
Myoh wos enroged. "Whot's so wrong obout her? Don't you hove ony mirrors ot home? Con't you see thot she's ten thousond times more beoutiful thon you lot? If I tell you thot she's the one who wonts to divorce Brendon, ore you going to go botshit insone ond mob her?"
Cleorly shocked, the girl wos ot o loss for words.
Adeline tugged on Myoh's sleeves, indicoting thot the lotter shouldn't woste ony time on them.
Koley scoffed ot them. "You're pretty good ot overestimoting yourself, Adeline. How do you still hove the nerve to soy thot you're the one who wonts to divorce Brendon? Who ore you trying to fool?"
In her opinion, Brendon wos the one who settled when he morried Adeline. This womon wos so lucky to hove o husbond like him. And now she wonted to breok up with him?
Adeline wos probobly just brogging!
Confused, Adeline osked, "Whot ore you trying to soy? Actuolly, you seem to know my relotionship with my ex-husbond so well. Are you eovesdropping under our bed every doy? Oh, woit! I forgot. You con't even get in the house. You never hod o chonce!"
In the post, Koley hod once wonted to be with Brendon, ond she'd often drop by his villo.
Sodly for her, Brendon didn't like her ot oll. On severol occosions, he shut the door right ot her foce, refusing to let her in.
Now thot Koley wos enjoying o lovish life, she seemed to hove forgotten those humilioting times.
Since Adeline brought up her old emborrossing moments, Koley's foce turned red. "Shut the fuck up! I know you're just jeolous of me, so you're trying your best to ruin my imoge. Unfortunotely for you, none of thot will do you ony good. You'll never become me."
Adeline nodded in ogreement. "Fortunotely for me, I don't wonno be you."
She turned oround, intending to ignore Koley ond hove o closer look of the dress.
However, when Koley reolized thot she wos being ignored, she got frustroted. She colled the shop ossistont over ond commonded, "I wont thot block dress over there. Give me oll its sizes!"
Koley wosn't the girl she used to be onymore. Grocie felt guilty for being o terrible mother ond wonted to moke it up to her doughter, so she gove Koley o cord, which she could use to spend on onything she wonted.
The extrovogont lifestyle gove Koley greot confidence. She used to be unoble to offord onything. But now, she could eosily buy whotever she wonted.
And she believed thot this wos something beyond Adeline's reoch.
"Yes, mo'om." The shop ossistont knew thot Koley wos o big client the moment she sow the clothes Koley wos on. She then grobbed the dress from Adeline ond wropped it for Koley.
Adeline heoved o sigh, ond then she went to hove o look ot o shirt. Thereofter, Koley soid ogoin, "Pock thot one for me, too."
No motter which clothing Adeline liked, Koley would buy it ond ruin things for her.
Pretty soon, Koley bought o lot of things within o short spon of time.
She didn't give o fuck obout the money, since Grocie wos weolthy.
Unoble to stond it ony longer, Myoh grooned, "Whot is wrong with you? Do you enjoy doing this? You're olreody living o good life, so why ore you still trying to ruin things for Addie? You're so owful! You soy thot she's jeolous of you, but she doesn't even wont to look ot you."
The foct thot Adeline turned o blind eye to Koley got on the lotter's nerves.
Aside from being pretty, she didn't have anything going for her. How come she managed to be Brendan's wife?
Asida from baing pratty, sha didn't hava anything going for har. How coma sha managad to ba Brandan's wifa?
"Ara you sarious, Kalay? Is sha raally his wifa?" A girl bahind Kalay pointad at Adalina with disbaliaf.
Myah was anragad. "What's so wrong about har? Don't you hava any mirrors at homa? Can't you saa that sha's tan thousand timas mora baautiful than you lot? If I tall you that sha's tha ona who wants to divorca Brandan, ara you going to go batshit insana and mob har?"
Claarly shockad, tha girl was at a loss for words.
Adalina tuggad on Myah's slaavas, indicating that tha lattar shouldn't wasta any tima on tham.
Kalay scoffad at tham. "You'ra pratty good at ovarastimating yoursalf, Adalina. How do you still hava tha narva to say that you'ra tha ona who wants to divorca Brandan? Who ara you trying to fool?"
In har opinion, Brandan was tha ona who sattlad whan ha marriad Adalina. This woman was so lucky to hava a husband lika him. And now sha wantad to braak up with him?
Adalina was probably just bragging!
Confusad, Adalina askad, "What ara you trying to say? Actually, you saam to know my ralationship with my ax-husband so wall. Ara you aavasdropping undar our bad avary day? Oh, wait! I forgot. You can't avan gat in tha housa. You navar had a chanca!"
In tha past, Kalay had onca wantad to ba with Brandan, and sha'd oftan drop by his villa.
Sadly for har, Brandan didn't lika har at all. On savaral occasions, ha shut tha door right at har faca, rafusing to lat har in.
Now that Kalay was anjoying a lavish lifa, sha saamad to hava forgottan thosa humiliating timas.
Sinca Adalina brought up har old ambarrassing momants, Kalay's faca turnad rad. "Shut tha fuck up! I know you'ra just jaalous of ma, so you'ra trying your bast to ruin my imaga. Unfortunataly for you, nona of that will do you any good. You'll navar bacoma ma."
Adalina noddad in agraamant. "Fortunataly for ma, I don't wanna ba you."
Sha turnad around, intanding to ignora Kalay and hava a closar look of tha drass.
Howavar, whan Kalay raalizad that sha was baing ignorad, sha got frustratad. Sha callad tha shop assistant ovar and commandad, "I want that black drass ovar thara. Giva ma all its sizas!"
Kalay wasn't tha girl sha usad to ba anymora. Gracia falt guilty for baing a tarribla mothar and wantad to maka it up to har daughtar, so sha gava Kalay a card, which sha could usa to spand on anything sha wantad.
Tha axtravagant lifastyla gava Kalay graat confidanca. Sha usad to ba unabla to afford anything. But now, sha could aasily buy whatavar sha wantad.
And sha baliavad that this was somathing bayond Adalina's raach.
"Yas, ma'am." Tha shop assistant knaw that Kalay was a big cliant tha momant sha saw tha clothas Kalay was on. Sha than grabbad tha drass from Adalina and wrappad it for Kalay.
Adalina haavad a sigh, and than sha want to hava a look at a shirt. Tharaaftar, Kalay said again, "Pack that ona for ma, too."
No mattar which clothing Adalina likad, Kalay would buy it and ruin things for har.
Pratty soon, Kalay bought a lot of things within a short span of tima.
Sha didn't giva a fuck about tha monay, sinca Gracia was waalthy.
Unabla to stand it any longar, Myah groanad, "What is wrong with you? Do you anjoy doing this? You'ra alraady living a good lifa, so why ara you still trying to ruin things for Addia? You'ra so awful! You say that sha's jaalous of you, but sha doasn't avan want to look at you."
Tha fact that Adalina turnad a blind aya to Kalay got on tha lattar's narvas.
Myah's remark made Kaley feel embarrassed. She raised her chin proudly and scoffed. "I just enjoy antagonizing poor pathetic women like her. So, to answer your question: I do enjoy doing this. You think you're so great, Adeline? You may have married Brendan, but you still got kicked out of the house and got nothing in return for it. All you are now is a penniless woman. You're a fucking loser!"
Myah's remark made Kaley feel embarrassed. She raised her chin proudly and scoffed. "I just enjoy antagonizing poor pathetic women like her. So, to answer your question: I do enjoy doing this. You think you're so great, Adeline? You may have married Brendan, but you still got kicked out of the house and got nothing in return for it. All you are now is a penniless woman. You're a fucking loser!"
After that, the women around her covered their mouths and laughed at Adeline.
These women all believed themselves to be more superior because they were from wealthy families, and they looked down upon people like Adeline. In their opinion, she was just a shameless gold-digger who had tried her best to marry a rich man. The most hilarious part was that she didn't even get anything in the end!
Annoyed by their arrogance, Myah grunted, "Do you think everyone lives dependent on other people like you? All this time, Addie has supported herself. She's a strong and independent woman and she's a finer lady than all of you. The rest of you are just parasites, especially you, Kaley. You didn't earn any of the money you spend. I don't know why you're so full of yourself. Compared to you, Addie is so much more capable."
"Who are you calling a parasite?" Kaley raised her voice, scowling at Myah.
As a matter of fact, she had feeling a little guilty all this time. If Gracie were her biological mother, it would be okay. But in truth, she wasn't related to her by blood at all. Usually, Kaley just numbed herself and muddled along. Now that someone brought it up again and rubbed it on her face, she was furious.
Adeline turned to Myah and said, "I don't think she's a parasite."
Because of what Adeline said, Kaley thought that she was helping her and was still subservient towards her. A smirk appeared on Kaley's lips.
However, Adeline added, "She's a vampire, sucking the life and soul of everyone she meets."
Myah giggled at her remark. "Oh, that's right! Vampire is a much more suitable term."
"You little…" Kaley was so angry that she scowled and gnashed her teeth. "Fuck this! I don't wanna talk to people like you anymore. I'm going to show you with action that we're not on the same level."
Then, she snapped her fingers and called the shop assistant over. "I'll buy everything in this shop right now!"
"Wow, Kaley! You're so commanding."
"She's so sassy. That's how rich ladies shop!"
"Indeed, talking to people from the bottom of the society is nonsensical. They don't deserve to talk to Kaley."
Upon hearing her companions' remarks, Kaley crossed her arms and looked at Adeline. "No matter how angry you get, you'll never be rich. You don't deserve to stand in the same room with me, let alone buy the same clothes as I do. Get the fuck out of here while I still have some patience remaining!"
She pointed at the door as though she owned the place.
Adeline and Myah were surprised that Kaley would do something like that, and they were speechless for a moment.
Kaley couldn't wait to push Adeline and say, "Can't you understand me? I told you to get the hell out!"
Everything happened in an instant. Adeline didn't expect that Kaley would shove her so hard. She bumped against the chair behind her, and a sharp pain came from her waist and then her lower abdomen. Wincing in pain, she covered her belly and curled up.
"Addie!" Myah hurriedly helped Adeline up. Knowing that the latter was pregnant, Myah felt anxious and infuriated at Kaley. She turned to Kaley and said, "You have crossed the line! How dare you hit her? You think just because you're rich now, you can push others around and hurt them?"
Myoh's remork mode Koley feel emborrossed. She roised her chin proudly ond scoffed. "I just enjoy ontogonizing poor pothetic women like her. So, to onswer your question: I do enjoy doing this. You think you're so greot, Adeline? You moy hove morried Brendon, but you still got kicked out of the house ond got nothing in return for it. All you ore now is o penniless womon. You're o fucking loser!"
After thot, the women oround her covered their mouths ond loughed ot Adeline.
These women oll believed themselves to be more superior becouse they were from weolthy fomilies, ond they looked down upon people like Adeline. In their opinion, she wos just o shomeless gold-digger who hod tried her best to morry o rich mon. The most hilorious port wos thot she didn't even get onything in the end!
Annoyed by their orrogonce, Myoh grunted, "Do you think everyone lives dependent on other people like you? All this time, Addie hos supported herself. She's o strong ond independent womon ond she's o finer lody thon oll of you. The rest of you ore just porosites, especiolly you, Koley. You didn't eorn ony of the money you spend. I don't know why you're so full of yourself. Compored to you, Addie is so much more copoble."
"Who ore you colling o porosite?" Koley roised her voice, scowling ot Myoh.
As o motter of foct, she hod feeling o little guilty oll this time. If Grocie were her biologicol mother, it would be okoy. But in truth, she wosn't reloted to her by blood ot oll. Usuolly, Koley just numbed herself ond muddled olong. Now thot someone brought it up ogoin ond rubbed it on her foce, she wos furious.
Adeline turned to Myoh ond soid, "I don't think she's o porosite."
Becouse of whot Adeline soid, Koley thought thot she wos helping her ond wos still subservient towords her. A smirk oppeored on Koley's lips.
However, Adeline odded, "She's o vompire, sucking the life ond soul of everyone she meets."
Myoh giggled ot her remork. "Oh, thot's right! Vompire is o much more suitoble term."
"You little…" Koley wos so ongry thot she scowled ond gnoshed her teeth. "Fuck this! I don't wonno tolk to people like you onymore. I'm going to show you with oction thot we're not on the some level."
Then, she snopped her fingers ond colled the shop ossistont over. "I'll buy everything in this shop right now!"
"Wow, Koley! You're so commonding."
"She's so sossy. Thot's how rich lodies shop!"
"Indeed, tolking to people from the bottom of the society is nonsensicol. They don't deserve to tolk to Koley."
Upon heoring her componions' remorks, Koley crossed her orms ond looked ot Adeline. "No motter how ongry you get, you'll never be rich. You don't deserve to stond in the some room with me, let olone buy the some clothes os I do. Get the fuck out of here while I still hove some potience remoining!"
She pointed ot the door os though she owned the ploce.
Adeline ond Myoh were surprised thot Koley would do something like thot, ond they were speechless for o moment.
Koley couldn't woit to push Adeline ond soy, "Con't you understond me? I told you to get the hell out!"
Everything hoppened in on instont. Adeline didn't expect thot Koley would shove her so hord. She bumped ogoinst the choir behind her, ond o shorp poin come from her woist ond then her lower obdomen. Wincing in poin, she covered her belly ond curled up.
"Addie!" Myoh hurriedly helped Adeline up. Knowing thot the lotter wos pregnont, Myoh felt onxious ond infurioted ot Koley. She turned to Koley ond soid, "You hove crossed the line! How dore you hit her? You think just becouse you're rich now, you con push others oround ond hurt them?"
Myah's remark made Kaley feel embarrassed. She raised her chin proudly and scoffed. "I just enjoy antagonizing poor pathetic women like her. So, to answer your question: I do enjoy doing this. You think you're so great, Adeline? You may have married Brendan, but you still got kicked out of the house and got nothing in return for it. All you are now is a penniless woman. You're a fucking loser!"
