Poppy stays out all night. However, Ethel gets up early in the morning and she intentionally goes to Poppy's bedroom to see if she is at home.
Looking at the empty bed in Poppy's bedroom, Ethel smiles triumphantly. She thinks this time she can finally kick Poppy’s ass.
She goes to the first floor and picks up the morning paper in a good mood, hoping to see how Poppy has made a fool of herself. But in the front page, the hot red word was "The CEO of Dakings-explosive personal addiction?”
The CEO of Dakings?
“Kenny!”
Ethel screams out. she stares at the ambiguous pictures of two men embracing in the morning paper. Although the face of Kenny's picture is blurring, she can still recognize his figure and outline.
She clutches the newspaper, and her eyebrows twists into knots. she feels so weird and a little creepy. Why does the person in the room become Kenny?
At this time, Poppy, who has done "a good job" all night, comes back. She glances at Ethel in the living room and sees her wry face. Poppy deliberately passes by her, hums a light tune in satisfied, and walks towards the second floor.
Ethel hears the sound. she grabs her, and asks sharply, "Poppy, what did you do last night?”
Obviously, she pushed Ethel’s boyfriend out to be a clown!
Poppy's eyes turns sharp, her red lips raises a sarcastic smile. She shakes off Ethel's hand and asks, "Ethel, my dear sister, shouldn't you be the most clear one who knows what I have done?
Ethel stares at Poppy, and trembles with anger. Her eyes are full of criticism, which stimulates her sensitive nerves. She raises her hand to slap Poppy, but Poppy is faster than her. She gives Ethel a crisp slap.
Ethel covers his sore face and scolds angrily, "you bitch, how dare you to hit me. You are just a bastard left by my father and garbage picked up by my mother from outside!”
On the contrary, Poppy is calm. She picks up a tissue and rubs her hands in disgust.
After that, she throws the tissue away, looks at Ethel with her cold eyes and smiles lightly. "Unfortunately, your boyfriend is attracted by me, your so-called garbage. Do you know what we did last night? To be honest, I didn't expect that Kenny is so gorgeous. His chest is so sexy and...”
"Shut up! Ethel cut off Poppy's words and reaches for her hair, but Poppy grabs Ethel's wrist tightly.
She has been working since she was a child. Ethel is not her match at all.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Ethel's palms become numb and her wrists are tingling.
Poppy's eyes flash a gleam of vicious. She pulls Ethel to herself and says, "Ethel, next time you want to find me some trouble, then be smart. Don't play such a naive trick, otherwise...I'll fix you in return!”
Her red lips raises a furious laugh.
"You bitch!...Ouch!" Ethel can't stand her irritation. She yells at Poppy, and her other hand tries to hit Poppy, but is grabbed.
Looking at her painful face, Poppy feels very delight. She breaks her hand hard, which makes Ethel's forehead sweat.
"My mom shouldn't have kept you here!...Ouch...my hand...”
Poppy's eyes flashes a gleam of vicious. "Yes, ten years ago, your mother should strangle me. Unfortunately, you don't have this chance now...”
"What are you doing?” A voice of authority from the stairs interrupts Poppy.
When Ethel sees her parents coming, she immediately calls for help. "Dad, mom, help me. This bitch wants to break my hand!”
The quarrel between Poppy and Ethel downstairs wakes up their parents Bryant and Hilda. Hilda rushes push Poppy away and protects her daughter behind her. She gets angry. "Poppy, what do you want to do? Are you trying to hit Ethel?”
