Desiree instantly came to a realization. Just as she was about to scream, she saw Lina pulling out a gun and pointing it at her temple.
"W-What are you doing?" Desiree stammered.
"This is the gift I got for you. Do you like it?" Lina scoffed. "Even though my dad has been involved in legitimate business for a long time now, it seems like it can't stop someone from being mean to him!"
"Lina, you—"
Lina scoffed. "Since you said I'm the daughter of a gangster, I can't let that nickname cause me pain. Don't you think so?"
Desiree widened her eyes, terrified.
Lina smirked, gloating as she loaded the gun. The sound echoed loudly in the empty bathroom.
Desiree screamed in fright. Her legs trembled, and she almost fell down.
"I-It was a misunderstanding!" She explained with a shaking voice. "We were all just drinking too much. Lina, I-I didn't mean to say that. I…”
"Misunderstanding?" Lina moved her wrist to lift Desiree's chin with the gun. "You used my fiance's cup in front of me. Was it because you had too much to drink? You sat with Zuko and leaned close to him. Was it because you had too much to drink!?"
Desiree started sobbing instantly. She wanted to cover her head with her arms as she squatted on the ground, losing the arrogance she had shown before.
Lina looked at her with disdain. She thought Desiree was an overbearing person, but it turned out she was just a poser.
In reality, there was only one bullet in the gun.
It was for her protection, not to cause harm. She thought that single bullet would be enough to scare people if anything happened. Moreover, Ian had his men guarding outside. Nothing would happen to her.
Even if she accidentally pulled the trigger after loading the gun, the safety was still on, so the bullet would not be fired.
However, once she loaded the gun, it scared the living daylights out of Desiree.
Lina smirked and took a deep breath. She would end the game now that Desiree had learned her lesson.
Lina lifted her hand slowly. Before she could put the gun away, someone suddenly opened the door!
Lina was shocked and turned her head to look. "Who is it?"
