Having failed to hit her, Vivian was enraged. She pointed at Nancy’s nose, shouting, "Nancy,wake up! If it weren’t for my lack of desire for this marriage, you, being the useless daughter you are, would have never had a chance to become Mrs. Firth!"
Nancy slapped away her hand and said, "Yeah, I don’t deserve him. But we’re related by blood. We have the same father. What makes you more capable? After following mom into a wealthy family, you really think of yourself as a princess!"
"Sure!"
Vivian lifted her chin, "Even though we’re related by blood, mom loves me, not you. Otherwise, why didn't she take you with her as well?"
Nancy's face turned pale instantly. Her mom leaving only with Vivian had always been a painful memory for her.
She didn't yearn for wealth or nobility. But her mom had abandoned her and their father.
Every child longed for mother's love.
Nancy had never felt it.
Vivian saw that her words hurt Nancy and became even more pleased, "You’re destined to be wretched. You can only marry a poor man like your dad. But I’m different. Mom loves me, and dad also loves me. I am a little princess. You, a cheap woman who can't hide her hillbilly nature even when wearing luxurious clothes, can never compare!"
"Vivian, enough!"
Nancy nearly bit her lip to bleed and shouted in anger.
Vivian not only wasn't afraid but rather became even more smug. "Oh, are you angry now? Heh-heh, Nancy, if both of us stand in front of Charlie, who do you think he will look at? Me or you?"
Nancy didn't need to think to know that Charlie would definitely look at Vivian.
In his heart, he had always liked Vivian.
