"This is between me and her. You have no right to interfere in our affairs!" Louisa glowered at Belinda. Every time she tried to get even with Leena, there was always a person coming forward to protect her. On the contrary, Louisa was always on her own. Even Claire, who Louisa had thought would always side with her, betrayed her and turned against her. This made Louisa both angry and sad.
"Maybe in your eyes, I'm an outsider, but I am not. I'm Leena's sister-in-law. We are family. So I have every right and duty to protect her," Belinda said in a calm voice. She was not angered at all, as it was no use quarreling with a person like Louisa.
"So what? Are you going to fight with me because of her?" Louisa suddenly pulled a chair and sat beside them without their consent. Calm as she looked, she was fuming on the inside. 'Why? Why is everyone taking Leena Leng's side?' she asked herself.
"I'm not going to fight with anyone. But I won't allow anyone to hurt Leena. I have to be more cautious as there's a mad dog here." Belinda had a silver tongue and didn't even yield to Edward in swearing at people.
"Ha! I know you are trying to irritate me. But I won't buy it." Louisa was a clever woman. Even though she was pissed off by the two right now, she forced back the strong urge to kick over the table. Otherwise her father would ground her again.
"Belinda, let's go!" Leena offered as she picked up her purse. She didn't want to waste time on Louisa anymore. They had finished their cakes and there was no reason to stay any longer.
"All right. Go ask the waitress to pack up the cake. Don't give it to her." Belinda stood up. She was happy to give the cake to anyone other than Louisa. After all, Louisa was an ungrateful woman. She would not appreciate it even if they helped her a lot.
"I agree. Let's go, Belinda." Leena didn't dare to leave Belinda with an evil woman like Louisa alone. After all, Belinda was pregnant. If anything bad happened to her, Leena would regret it for life.
Louisa bit her lower lip hard, but she didn't dare block their way. Being ignored and treated like dirt, she was infuriated, but what she could only do was kick the chair next to her to vent her anger.
"Miss, do you still want the green tea cake?" The waitress came up to Louisa, staring at her with the utmost care for fear that she would lose her temper again.
"Give the shit to them!" Louisa thundered. Filled with fury, she watched Leena and Belinda standing at the counter and waiting for the cake.
The waitress rolled her eyes at Louisa and packed the cake for Leena. Luckily, Louisa left the shop soon after the two ladies' departure. The waitress heaved a long sigh of relief as she really didn't want to serve her.
