The restaurant
Anne put her bag on the table, she disdainfully raised her chin and looked at Gloria. "Quickly, as I have an appointment with Colin later."
She said, raising her hands to admire her new manicure.
Anne pretended to glance at Gloria casually, who had been dressed the same way for ten years. As Gloria wore a plain padded jacket, with her sallow skin and black-rimmed glasses, she was unbearably ugly.
An ugly woman like Gloria, wanted to win over someone she liked? Daydream!
Only those idiots on the Internet would believe it.
Gloria looked down, holding the glass in her hand, as she rubbed her hands helplessly on the side of the glass. While out of the corner of her eye, she glimpsed a man dressed in plain clothes sitting down at the back table.
She quietly sent out the text she had edited: You can get started.
She did this with the utmost care, so Anne didn't find out.
Gloria looked up carefully at Anne, murmuring. "I already apologized on microblog, so don't mess with my mom."
She winced, looking the same as before.
Anne sniffing, she knew that Gloria had been stupid since childhood, so how could she be so smart all of a sudden.
"You want me not to make trouble for Tina, and I can promise you, but I only have one condition." Anne folded her arms, smiling triumphantly.
"What... What condition?" Gloria's voice sounded pleased and worried.
"Fool, I don't know why you care so much about Tina, since she never treats you like a daughter."
Gloria’s hand tightened on her lap, her face turned pale, and she looked a little sad, speaking. "She's my mother anyway, and even if it could all be done over again, and even though I knew she was begging me to marry Kenny for you, I'll do the same."
Anne despised Gloria, timid and incompetent. As a child, when Gloria was better at school and prettier than she was, she hated Gloria, her younger sister.
Then Gloria suddenly became stupid and ugly, and she hated her younger sister even more.
She was ashamed to have a younger sister like Gloria.
But, fortunately, Gloria was as obedient as a dog, so Gloria could be used by her.
Anne raised her lips, smiling. Her voice sounded soft, but what she said was very malicious. "You're a bitch like your mother."
There was a flicker of sarcasm in Gloria's eyes, as after Tina got married, Tina came to the Taylor's for more than twenty years. She was very kind to Anne, but in the end, instead of thanking Tina, Anne called her the bitch.
"You can scold me all you want, but please don't scold my mother like that. She is really good to you." Gloria pretending to be sad, she persuaded Anne in a low voice.
How could Anne have listened to Gloria? She glanced at her, shouting. "Shut up! It's none of your business. Now, there's only one thing you need to do, as you need to divorce Kenny."
"Divorce him?" Gloria's eyes widened in shock.
She was both shocked and pretended to be shocked.
Gloria knew Anne's intentions.
The Clarke's didn’t care who married Kenny, but the Clarke's certainly wouldn’t tolerate Gloria if she went back on her words, especially that she's "ugly and stupid", being a disagreeable woman.
If she said she wanted to divorce Kenny, it's like slapping the Clarke's in the face.
The people of the Clarke's were not going to let her go!
Anne was really vicious as she said this. She wanted the Clarke's eyes to be drawn to Gloria, letting the people of Clarke's vent their hatred toward Gloria. As a result, her own negative image in the eyes of the Clarke's was greatly reduced, allowing her to live with Colin without any pressure.
Anne pretended to stroke her hair close to her ear casually, while a little pink mark appeared on her white neck.
