"Daisy Ouyang! Stinky breath? Stinky breath? Really? Just think about the horrible things you've done to my cousin. You destroyed her completely and now you ask her to step up and defend herself? You know she'll never argue with you again. She doesn't have the will. God knows what else you're planning!" Coco met Daisy's eyes without fear. Anyway, she was an actress, she knew how to act in all situations and forge a strong case to her advantage.
"I don't think I stuttered. Think twice about who you're facing before you act, or you will pay for real." Now that Coco had labelled her as an absolute villain, there was no need to keep the courtesy. She would show Coco what a queen's ferocity was like.
"And now you threaten me! Is that what a soldier should do?" Coco was indignant, but still she backed away from Daisy. Daisy was seething, her fists clenched. If looks could kill, Coco would surely be a corpse.
"Think what you want. Just remember this, don't mess with me. I won't hold back, and it won't go well for you at all. Think of your cousin." It didn't matter if she was overbearing or discrediting the image of soldiers. This woman was really pissing her off and she couldn't bear it longer.
"What would people say if the papers ran stories about you? Stories about how vicious you are? I can see the headlines now: 'FX CEO's wife a violent woman, witnesses say.' That'll sell some papers!" Coco recovered quickly and looked at her provocatively. Coco knew that Daisy wouldn't actually do anything to hurt her. She was just a talker.
"You can have a go. I don't mind making headlines, but you don't seem to have the influence." Daisy glanced at her coldly. This Coco was just an actress. If Coco was fine with the exposure then why should she be afraid?
"Daisy, What is taking you so long? We've been waiting for ages. Did you fall in?" Belinda said as she walked over. Daisy had been in here unnaturally long and Belinda was worried. Belinda was surprised to see Coco here, but she realized who Coco was right away. "You're Coco! That's why your face is so familiar!"
"You know me!" Coco didn't expect that someone would recognize her. She was surprised and happy. After all, nothing mattered more than fame to a washed-up actress.
"Not really. I remember you from that scandal not long ago. It really created a stir. Daisy, is she your friend?" Belinda realized she had been a little too frank and shot Daisy an apologetic look. If this Coco was her friend, that would be embarrassing. The look on Coco's face was priceless.
"No. I barely know her. Let's get out of here. Don't mind her." Daisy took Belinda's hand and was about to leave. She was out of patience and had no interest in speaking to Coco any more.
"Daisy Ouyang, don't get too cocky. You will live a life a million times more miserable than my cousin. Just wait and see!" Enraged by Belinda's words, she yelled at Daisy, feeling shamed and furious.
"Hey! What are you, insane? What is wrong with you? Who the hell is your cousin? Who cares if your cousin is miserable? Watch your mouth and don't invite people to slap you every time you open it, okay?" Unlike Daisy, Belinda didn't like to suppress her temper. Tit for tat was more her usual style. She had a temper and she knew how to use it.
"Who the hell are you? It's none of your business. I'm talking to Daisy. What crawled up your skirt?" Coco didn't know Belinda, but she could sense Belinda was a tough nut to crack.
"Of course it's my business. I'm more pissed that you yelled at Daisy. You're nothing more than a washed-up actress. Don't flatter yourself and think you're a goddess. You're not, sister!" Belinda was still mad for her own matters. This stupid actress just jumped in her line of fire.
