The crowd gasped. All of them were happy to keep watching since no one would be dumb enough to offend Mrs. Hamerton for Yelena. Moreover, Yelena deserved it.
“You look very angry, Ms. Yelena,” Kate said coldly, looking at her with a sense of superiority. “Just nice. The iced wine will put out the fire for you!”
Yelena shrieked and wiped her face, smudging her makeup. She refused to give up and grabbed the cake on the side. Before she could throw it, the security guards who came in time pinned her down.
Kate paced to her slowly and reeled in her smile. Her gaze was stern and sharp.
“If you’re too free next time and let me hear you whine and gossip behind my back again, it’s not going to be as simple as putting out the fire then! I’ll put your tongue out as well!”
…
Kate took Cordelia to the restroom to touch up their makeup.
“I’ve long wanted to teach that woman a lesson!” Kate reapplied her bright red lipstick, looking even livelier.
“How could Yale be okay with such a repulsive thing? My impression of the Hamerton heirs just hit a new low!
“Yelena, too. Since Yale has eyes for her, she should just be good and stay in Yale Residence! Why must she come and taint my eyes…”
As she spoke, she looked at Cordelia and suddenly thought of something. “Uh, Cordelia, you… You don’t mind, right?”
Cordelia was startled and chuckled. “Of course not!”
“Then I’ve overthought it.” Kate smiled as well. “I know that you value relationships, so I was worried that you might feel bad since I was so impolite to Yelena just now.”
“Even though I value relationships, it depends on who it is,” answered Cordelia. “I’m willing to sincerely repay those who are nice to me, but why should I be nice to those who are not so nice to me or even hurt me?”
“Mm, that’s right!” Kate patted her shoulder.
Like Janine, Kate was also a woman who was clear about what she hated and loved.
Cordelia thought that she was lucky. She had assumed Zephyr’s two mothers to be tough to handle, but they were unexpectedly easy to get along with.
Kate finished touching up her makeup and smiled at Cordelia. “I have a few business friends that I have to meet as a whole. They’re from the Clouds, so it’s not quite convenient for me to take you along…”
