I said nothing.
I used to think Queena just loved Steven as a person, but now it seemed like she was more interested in his status.
Seeing my silence, Queena’s mood brightened considerably. She began to prattle on about the garden, flaunting her superiority. I found it laughable.
Rachel couldn’t stand it anymore and pointed an angry finger at the screen. “Queena, what are you so proud of? You’re not even the other woman here! Did Steven marry you willingly? No, you blackmailed him using Zephyra, didn’t you?”
Queena’s face turned ashen. She crushed the flower she was holding in her hand.
I had a feeling Queena was about to explode, so I tugged on Rachel’s arm. It was better not to provoke her right now, or we might not even get cookies anymore.
But Rachel was on a roll and paid me no mind.
“Don’t you own a mirror? You should take a good look at yourself. It’s bad enough that you’re ugly, but your heart is black, too. Forcing someone with such despicable tactics and then flaunting it in her face… how can you be so shameless?”
As Queena’s expression grew uglier, I quickly tried to pull Rachel back. “Rachel, that’s enough.”
Rachel shot back, “Since you’re so proud, where’s Steven? Why don’t you let him show his face? Is it because he won’t stand with you? Or are you afraid he’ll see Zephyra?”
Rachel’s tone was dripping with sarcasm, and Queena’s gaze turned cold and fixed on me.
Her eyes were bloodshot with rage. “You’re lying! I’m going to throw you in the ocean to feed the fish!”
I handed the phone back to Nelson. Rachel came over and took my hand. “Zephyra, you shouldn’t have stopped me. I should have given her a piece of my mind.”
I sighed. “Don’t provoke her anymore. She’s a psycho. When she says she’ll throw you in the sea, she’s not just trying to scare you.”
Rachel’s expression was full of disdain. “Her? No way. Any normal person knows that’s illegal.”
In my past life, I was as naive as Rachel, thinking her threats were empty provocations. But then…
I decided to scare her a little. “Illegal doesn’t mean she won’t do it. I know Queena. Anyone who crosses her, she gets revenge on, one by one. Being thrown in the sea would be getting off easy. Before she does that, she’ll torture you.”
“Basically, don’t treat her like a normal person. Whatever she says, just pretend you don’t hear it.”
