Although the manager and the sales assistant did not speak, one could clearly see the gloating in their eyes.
Seeing that these people dared to laugh at her like this, Anya almost snapped.
But this wasn't the worst. What angered Anya the most was Sonia saying, ‘what are you’ to her.
This was the first time she had been referred to as a thing.
To Anya, this was pure humiliation.
"So, you don't want to give me your dress, right?" Anya held the armrest of the wheelchair tightly with both hands, her voice extremely gloomy.
In response, Sonia looked at her coldly. "It's mine. Why should I give it to you? If it was yours, would you let me have the dress?"
Of course not!
Anya replied silently.
But she didn't show her thoughts on her face.
Moreover, in her opinion, she could steal other people's possessions, and others had to obey her.
But if someone dared to steal from her, it would be a heinous crime and could not be forgiven.
Anya was such a hypocrite.
"So, you're saying that you're not afraid of people in the circle thinking that you have no sympathy and are unforgiving at all, right?" Anya narrowed her eyes and made a threat.
Sonia looked at Anya like she was a fool. "I know what you want to say and do. I'm telling you, the people in the circle are not fools. Since they have been accepted by the circle and have not been eliminated, they are all smart people. It is impossible for them to not see who's in the wrong in this situation. If I give up the dress, it will be a shame for me and everyone in the circle. If I did that, did that mean they have to give up their possession unwillingly, too? If they don't, does that mean they're in the wrong and unreasonable?"
Speaking of this, Sonia stepped forward to get closer. "Miss Steinfeld, if I were to share your idea to the circle, how would they react? "
Anya’s face was pale, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
How else? Of course, they would want to kill me.
She thought that if Sonia did not give in, she would make people believe that Sonia was an assertive and arrogant person. Those who cooperated with the Reed Family in the circle would keep their distance from Sonia. However, Anya never thought that her idea would offend everyone else in the circle.
Indeed. As Sonia had said, if someone took a fancy to the possession of the people in the circle and asked them for it, would it be unreasonable if they declined it?
Anya didn't expect Sonia to quickly catch the loophole in her words.
Now, Anya was the one in a difficult situation.
Seeing Anya's face changing like a palette, Sonia smiled coldly.
Sonia thought that Anya could hold on for long, but now she had almost lost.
As a result, Sonia smacked her lips in boredom. "Miss Steinfeld, I know that if I don't give in to your demands, you will tell my business partners to be wary of me, and if I give in, you will make me a laughing stock. In this way, everyone will think that I’m a weakling everyone can step on. But you never thought that no one would keep their distance from me if I didn't give in. This is because not simply letting go of my possession is right. My business partner will only appreciate me because I am a firm person, and they will be more comfortable cooperating with me. You are not a manager, so you don’t understand how it works. Moreover, you are taking them too lightly and thinking they're stupid!"
As Sonia said that, she sneered. "If I give in, you think that people in the circle will bully me, but that's impossible because I will never give in. Besides, even if I let you have the dress, do you think it will look good on you? Are you worthy of the dress?"
Sonia unfolded the dress, shoving it toward Anya's face that looked ready to kill, and continued, "This dress is based on my measurements.
Although you're taller than me, your figure is too bad. Do you think you will look good in this dress? No, it'll look ugly. You're just an ugly woman trying to imitate beauty."
At first, Sonia didn't want to speak so harshly, but she really hated Anya too much.
