Nina Morrison lowers her head. The arrogance in Sarah's voice deeply hurts her.
Three years ago, she was also a rich girl. Although her family couldn't compare with the Gray's, she is also the apple of her father's eye. But now, she can be stabbed with such a haughty tone of voice by another girl of the same age!
"Look up at me." Sarah tiptoes to Nina Morrison who is crouching on the floor.
Nina Morrison bites her lips. Her pale face is bloodless. She still hangs her head low and lets her long, disheveled hair cover her face.
"My brother, your new lover is a little bit stubborn! She is really unlovable!" Sarah turns her head to Lucien Gray with a flicker of disgust in her eyes. Who does this woman think she is?
"Speak! Are you deaf or dumb?" Sarah kicks Nina Morrison in the leg, just where she had been hurt. Nina is in pain. There is a bit of exasperation in her heart.
Is being rich so great? That is why the rich can trample on the dignity of others. She is not a stray dog. How can she kick her around like that?
With her head up, Nina's cold, obstinate eyes turn against Sarah Gray's angry eyes.
Sarah Gray's taken aback for Nina's eyes are so inspiring. And it seems there is something inside her eyes that she has never seen before...
"What's your name? How did you get to know my brother?" Sarah Gray pretends to be calm.
