"I just wanted to tell you not to get too cocky. Someday, we'll make you pay."
Seraphina said, her eyes red.
Mira looked at Seraphina's face, twisted with anger, and smiled. "Alright, I'll be waiting. Let me know whenever you're ready to make me pay."
Seraphina grew even more furious. She glared at Mira, grinding her teeth, but couldn't form a word.
Then, Mira continued walking forward, followed leisurely by her two bodyguards.
Leaving Seraphina and Luna glaring after her.
"Sera, you're just going to let her walk away?"
Luna asked.
"What else should I do? You go hit her!"
Fresh from her anger at Mira, Seraphina snapped back at Luna, her voice rising several decibels.
Luna had been raised like a princess since childhood; when had she ever suffered such indignity?
What was the big deal about Lawrence's fiancée who hadn't even married him yet?
"She made you mad, so why are you yelling at me? You're just a bully who picks on the weak!"
Seraphina was even more enraged. They weren't even married yet, and Lawrence's sister dared to speak to her like this?
Once they were married, wouldn't Luna trample all over her?
As a wealthy heiress, Seraphina wasn't someone who took insults lightly either. "You sure talk tough, but haven't you suffered enough at her hands?
You were either thrown in jail or beaten black and blue, and even your mother got slapped around.
And the result? Not only did they refuse to apologize, but you ended up paying them hundreds of thousands of dollars for emotional damage.
Aren't you supposed to be arrogant and untouchable, Luna? Why didn't I see you acting tough back then?"
Seraphina, raised pampered and spoiled as the Quinn family's daughter, threw caution to the wind in her anger and poured out all her pent-up resentment.
Actually, if Luna hadn't said those last few words, Seraphina might have explained herself and apologized for her tone.
After all, they were on the same side, and Luna was Lawrence's sister.
