Cassie raised a corner of her lips into a smile. 'It looks like Tina has already learned that I am behind all this. I thought that it would take her some time to get it. I'm a little surprised, ' she pondered.
"Okay, so the game is over," Cassie said with a smile as if nothing had happened till now.
"You are a psycho. One day you will pay for what you have done to me," Tina said sternly, her face twisting with hatred. 'She has destroyed me. I have nothing now. I will not spare her for sure, ' she swore inside.
"Whatever. I'm not afraid of you," Cassie returned casually, "Do you know why I did all of this? I just want to get Greg. I can do anything as long as it can get him back to my life."
Tina laughed in disdain. Shifting her gaze away from Cassie, she sniffed, "You want to get Greg? Do you really think you deserve him? He will never ever fall in love with a vicious woman like you, be very sure of that."
"You crazy woman, how dare you talk to me like that! It seems that you are not even afraid of dying, are you?" Cassie berated. Cassie lost her temper and her twisted expressions showed the depth of her fury.
"Kill me if you can. I have got nothing else to lose now. You said that you are invincible, right? Show me now," Tina challenged her, as she had nothing to be afraid of now.
"You don't deserve that," Cassie responded scornfully before looking away.
"Cassie, you know what? I have suddenly found out that you are such a miserable girl. So much so that you have even lost yourself in this fight," Tina said abruptly. She had seen lots of things that day. Her thoughts and attitudes towards things and people had now totally transformed.
"Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Cassie asked, stunned at her audacity. 'What has happened to her? She isn't behaving like herself. Why has she said that?' she thought.
"Even though you did this to me, you will still never be able to get Greg. You have chosen the wrong opponent," Tina said slowly, ignoring Cassie's words.
Cassie remained silent. She gazed at Tina's side profile, waiting for her to say something else.
"Your opponent is Violet, not me," Tina continued, as she looked back at Cassie. "Your opponent is always her. Even if she does nothing, she will still be the winner. Do you know why?" And there she stopped, waiting for Cassie's to give a reaction.
Tina's question had aroused her curiosity. As the former didn't say anything else, Cassie urged, "Tell me."
"Because Violet is much better than you. I think Greg made the right decision to marry her. If he had married you, you would have ruined him too," Tina replied with a resolute expression on her face.
"I won't let her escape like that," Cassie snorted, her eyes full with hatred. "Now you're no longer a threat to me. She is my next target. I will destroy her completely."
"So you think you can control everyone's fate?" Tina asked tauntingly.
"No, I can't," Cassie replied, "But I have always got whatever I have wanted."
