"Linda Xia, aren't you going to tell us what you did to Amy? Don't you know that she was afraid of insects and heights? You are so cruel, " said Sarah.
They had been sitting in silence for a long while after they sat down. Sarah could not resist questioning Linda at last.
She could not stop herself from thinking about it after Rosy told her what had happened.
"What have I done to her? I don't need to explain myself to you. Do you know what Amy had done to me?" said Linda.
The coffee had been served. Linda had ordered a cup of brown sugar macchiato. She said while inhaling the sweet smell of the coffee.
Sarah remained silent again after she heard what Linda said.
Sarah was furious when Rosy told her what had happened to Amy that night. Sarah felt really sorry for Amy. She thought what Linda did was unforgivable.
Sarah hadn't recalled what Amy had done to Linda until now. Amy had slashed Linda across the face with a knife, and she had almost killed Linda, too.
Compared to what Amy did to her, Linda's prank was no big deal.
"Sarah, you know well that Brian doesn't like you. He has told you that clearly. Back then, he was not serious about you, and he was a young, naive playboy. Stop haunting him. He doesn't love you. You won't be happy even if he marries you, " said Linda.
"They won't be happy either if they can not get the blessing of his family. Don't you see that? I don't think that Brian will be happy even if he marries Bonny. They love each other? So what? They don't have the support from his family. They won't be happy together, " shouted Sarah in anger.
Sarah had stood up from the chair. She felt quite emotional when they talked about Brian. She was banging on the table with a red face while she was speaking.
"It is none of your business whether they will be happy together or not, but you should know that he won't be happy with you, " Linda replied calmly, disregarding Sarah's emotional actions.
"Brian, have you thought it through? She is a descendant of a traitor. If you stay with her, you will get involved in a lot of troubles, " Sarah turned to Brian and told him. She still didn't want to give up.
"I don't care, " said Brian.
These three simple words broke Sarah's heart.
She left her seat, turned around, and shouted at Brian with all her strength, "I won't let you two get what you want that easily. Fine, Brian. You don't like me, and you don't love me. But why? Because you love her? Do you two really want to be together? Hahaha... Well, Brian, if I can't marry you, then I won't let you marry her."
Brian looked at her with his brows knitted.
At last, they still failed to talk some sense into Sarah. Brian thought that Sarah was going to give up, as she was the one who suggested that they should have a talk.
However, they were no near an accord.
Linda was sure that Sarah wouldn't give up easily since Sarah loved Brian so much.
Sarah wouldn't let him go. She couldn't.
She was too obsessed with Brian.
Brian was at fault in the beginning. He had been with Sarah for a week. Since then, Sarah had been obsessed with him.
"Sarah, there is no point in haunting Brian. Why not give up? Just let go of your obsession with him, "
Linda told Sarah patiently.
She knew that Sarah wouldn't listen to her, but she wanted to have one more try.
Those who were involved in the matter would not see things as clearly as those from outside could.
