"Take the child outside, Mimi. I have something to say to Marilyn alone," Angeline said, her voice sounding a s if it was covered with frost and ice.
Mimi walked to Marilyn and reached out to take Tiger into her arms. She then walked outside, completely ignoring Tiger's ear-piercing cries.
When Marilyn realized that she had entered a lion's den, she stared timidly at Angeline.
Angeline stared at Zayne. "Go and coax the child."
Zayne nodded. Still feeling worried, he reminded her again. "Calm down, okay? Calm down."
When Angeline and Marilyn were the only ones left in the office, Angeline gestured at Marilyn, hooking her fingers toward her. "Come here."
Marilyn approached her fearfully. "Ms. Severe, where are you taking Tiger to?"
Angeline tried to scare her. "To the hospital. To perform a DNA paternity test for Ben and him."
Marilyn was so shocked that she immediately staggered and bolted outside.
"That's my child! You can't take him away."
When Marilyn realized that the office door was firmly
shut and she could not get it to open, she turned around to criticize Angeline furiously, "You’re just Ben's boss. Who gave you the right to meddle in our family's affairs?"
Angeline stepped on her stilettos and walked up to her gracefully. She stretched out a finger and gently lifted Marilyn's chin, saying with great disdain," Marilyn Auberge, I thought that you were just a vulgar yet simple and honest village woman at first."
After a pause, her elegant face suddenly turned ferocious. "But I would never in a million years expect to see a greedy, selfish, vicious, and ruthless black heart hiding behind that honest and good-natured face."
Marilyn evaded her gaze. "I don't know what you are talking about."
"You don’t know? It's okay. I will make you understand."
Angeline pinched her chin and increased her strength, causing Marilyn to hiss in pain.
Angeline asked, "Ben is really easy to deceive, huh?"
