"Excuse me! If you invited me to this meeting only to insult me and my family, then there is no reason for me to stay here any longer," Annie said while getting up from the chair. She was beyond furious right now. Had she known that Eugenia was such a mean and foul mouthed woman, she would never even have taken the effort to leave the house and come here in the first place. She deeply regretted ever coming here. What was she thinking? Not only was it a waste of time, but now, some stranger had unnecessarily insulted her and her family. It would have been avoided if she had just stayed home.
"Wait a minute. Why in a hurry to leave? I am not finished with my words yet. What? Are you afraid that I will do something to you?" Eugenia said slowly in an arrogant tone. She even picked up her cup of coffee and had a sip without looking at Annie, as if she was sure that Annie would not leave. She could bet that Annie was still curious about why she had asked her out here in the first place.
"I am not afraid of you. I just don't have time to listen to your vicious words," Annie retorted back. She stopped in her tracks, but she didn't sit down. She just looked down at Eugenia with a cold look on her face. She was nice, but it didn't mean that she would let anyone insult her like that.
"Hah! You are too arrogant and cocky for a small jewelry designer." As soon as Eugenia heard that there was a woman in Rain's life, she immediately started looking into it. She had someone checking Annie's background until she thought she knew enough about her. She was just a jewelry designer that caught Rain's eyes only because she had his children. She was a nobody, and shouldn't have that kind of confidence and arrogance.
"Do you have something against jewelry designers? I make a living using my own talent." Annie gritted her teeth and gripped her hands into tight fists. She had never been this angry before. And to be honest, it was also her first time being treated so badly by someone she met for the first time. Eugenia was just too rabid and obnoxious that Annie's face couldn't help but flush with anger.
"Well, I can't say for sure. If you really make a living only with your talent as you claimed, you wouldn't have gotten married to a rich guy, using two kids to secure your marriage. Clearly, you just want to be rich. You are the shameless one, desperate enough to use kids to get ahead and have a better position in life," Eugenia said in her most cruel tone. She kept insulting Annie with the purpose of making her the angriest she could ever be. She wanted to see how Annie would burst. However, it seemed that she was really good at containing herself and managing her anger. That was interesting to know.
