A stillness as of death hung over the place.
The onlookers were stunned by what they had seen.
Some of them even held their breath.
They only remembered Alina as a weak and sick person. She was always submissive.
They couldn't even imagine what Alina was like when she got angry.
However, Alina had completely overturned their impression of her just now.
Leo's lips curled into a smile. He seemed to have seen this coming.
Alina finally took the most crucial step in her life.
She had learned how to be angry.
Anger made people brave.
Anger also made people strong.
That was what Leo had mentioned just now, "the best birthday gift he gave to Alina".
"Argh... My hair."
Emilie lay on the ground in a fluster, screaming for attention.
Seeing the cuts and wounds on her arms and body, Emilie was as shocked as angry.
"How dare you hit me?"
Emilie stood up, burning with anger. She quickly strode to Alina.
Alina had just woken up. She was surprised that she would actually stand up for herself now.
Seeing the scattered diamond on the ground woke Alina's anger again.
"I know you've always been bullying me because I'm weak and sick. You always make fun of me, but I don't care. I swallowed your insult and have been used to it. However, I won't do that again this time, because you've ruined Mr. Cohen's gift for me."
Alina didn't seem afraid at all and walked straight to Emilie. Her eyes were brimming with tears. She smoldered with resentment.
"I begged you not to do that. Why did you still have to tear it up? Do you really think I'm still the pushover I used to be?"
The flame of rage flared in Alina's eyes. She stared at Emilie, as if she and Emilie were the only ones left at that place.
Emilie suddenly stopped walking over and began to retreat.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Emilie suddenly felt a bit afraid.
"Do you know what the necklace and the wedding gown meant to me? You've ruined both of them! How are you going to make up for me? You could never afford the price even if you sell yourself!"
"Calm down, Alina."
Zain tried to stop Alina as cold sweats oozed out of his forehead.
He had realized a severe issue.
Alina had a heart attack. She would be out of breath after running a few steps. Also, intense mood swings would kill her.
That was why there were so many people bullying her. They knew that no matter how harsh they were at her, she would never resist because she was too sick.
However, things were different now. Alina's heart disease had started to recover.
She would never let anyone bully her again.
"Get out of my way."
Alina's expression was frigid.
Finally, Zain made way for her, and so did everyone else.
Alina walked over to Emilie and slapped heavily on her face.
"Argh!"
Alina smacked so hard that Emilie screamed in pain.
Emilie couldn't help taking a few steps back because it was hard to keep balance on high heels.
Suddenly, she stumbled over a piece of glass and twisted her ankle. She fell backward.
Behind her was a big cake that had been cut halfway.
"Be careful!"
