"Stop lecturing me. Don't tell me that you still love Edward." Jessica glowered at the woman. She clearly knew what her cousin was thinking of.
"Jessica, how'd you know that?" asked Coco. She was awed by how sharp and smart her cousin could be.Coco had been hiding her interest in Edward and thought that she'd done so well. However, her cousin's remarks suggested otherwise.
"Well, hell.You can't hide any secret from me." Jessica smiled coldly. She didn't bother to tear the mask off Coco's face because she never thought of Coco as a threat against her for Edward's love. It was different now though. Everything had changed and she wouldn't pretend to be ignorant about Coco's affection for Edward, the hideous bastard.
"Why did you pretend to know nothing about this before?" asked Coco in disbelief and embarrassment.It was difficult for her to accept this. Had she been fooled, played, and used ruthlessly by Jessica all along Did Jessica feel good as she watched her pretend and act as stupidly and naively as a kid? Jessica had been with Edward for a long long time before Daisy came between them. Thus, she had the right to laugh at any woman who tried to woo Edward.
"Could we talk peacefully and calmly if I had exposed your hilarious love for my lover? Could you still want to help me out of my troubles unconditionally if I had laughed at your foolishness? We would have hated each other already." Jessica stared at her cousin disdainfully and thought that Coco was nothing but an incurable romantic and an old fool.
"Even so, you couldn't pretend to be totally fine with this and think otherwise. Did you feel a sense of accomplishment by making a fool out of me this way?" It was a sudden turn. The two cousins who appeared to love each other just a few moments ago instantly turned hostile as they accused one another.
"I have never thought about that. If you really need to blame me for everything that ever occurred to you, then please feel free to do so. But, do you really think it's necessary? Don't forget that Edward doesn't belong to you or me. His wife is that bitch and slut, Daisy." Jessica emphasized Daisy's name. She always regarded Daisy as the root of all the disasters that happened to her.
