“Huh? I don’t remember my mother even giving me a small sister. Elsa, do you know whether my mom gave birth after she gave birth to me?” Amanda asked as she looked at Elsa pretending to be curious.
“Of course not! How can Mrs Anderson give birth after giving birth to you and she was already satisfied with having five children?” Elsa answered as she looked at Eunice.
“Sorry, but I don’t know you. You are nothing to me. Did you say that I am an orphan? How can I be an orphan when I have you as my sister when you are living with your parents?” Amanda asked, making some of the onlookers snicker as they looked at Eunice.
Eunice felt her blood boiling as she wondered why Amanda was behaving in such a way.
“I am Damien’s younger sister! You are his wife!” Eunice shouted out of anger making people shocked as they never thought that the young lady was such a powerful person but what they were mostly curious about was why Eunice was being bullied when she was just silent watching what was happening.
Amanda shook her head as she never expected Eunice to be so shameless.
“Oh, if I am really his wife then what does it make Marie who is known to be his fiancee?” Amanda asked as she looked between Eunice and Marie.
She saw Marie clenching her fist and her eyes were full of fury as she looked at Eunice. She tried her best to maintain a good image and make everyone envious of her as Damien’s fiancee but she didn’t expect that her good friend would ruin that for her.
The onlookers were more confused when they heard that and looked between the three ladies as they tried to figure out what was happening but after remembering Elsa’s words, they looked at Marie with strange gazes as they now understood why Elsa was so against Marie. They also looked at Eunice as they wondered who was hanging out with her brother’s mistress in front of his wife and expected the wife to be lenient, tolerant and still caring towards her. They sighed as they thought that the rich families were more complicated and had a lot of disputes than those who were called poor by the young girl.
Eunice glanced at Marie and saw her anger but she did not think that there was something wrong with what she had said and opted to ignore her angry look.
“Why should I care? I am your sister thus you better treat me well and tell her to stop if you don’t want my brother to get mad at you for not protecting me,” Eunice said, making the congregation sympathize with Amanda since no one would ever want to have such an unreasonable sister-in-law.
“Eunice, maybe you should visit the hospital for the doctor to check whether you have any brain injury that caused you to lose your memory,” Elsa said as she was getting tired of Eunice.
“You! Amanda, are you really not going to do something about how she is speaking to me? Fine! If you are not afraid of my brother anymore then continue taking your best friend's side,” Eunice said angrily, making Amanda chuckle.
“Eunice, she is right, you know! I divorced your brother four years ago thus I don’t know why you still claim that I am his wife. I even feel disgusted every time I remember that I was married to such a cheat,” Amanda said, making Eunice shut up as she knew that what Amanda said was right.
How could she forget what transpired when the two divorced and how the divorce had caused just a great sensation in the upper classes?
Thinking of that, Eunice looked at Marie with dissatisfaction in her eyes. Marie saw it and lowered her head as she bit her lower lip. She knew that what happened had made Eunice hate her but she consoled herself that she would make Eunice understand everything when they left.
Eunice remembered every time she was bullied, Amanda always stood by her side and made those people envious of her for having such a caring and protective sister-in-law. As she looked at Marie she wondered why she couldn’t try being like Amanda when she always supported and spoiled her and she never did such things to Amanda.
“Pfft. Why are you regretting it now? Weren’t you and your mother the reason Amanda and Damien divorced since you sided with the mistress instead of siding with the daughter-in-law of your family?” Elsa said as she saw the guilt and regret in Eunice’s eyes.
Eunice looked at Elsa and wanted to refute but she couldn’t find the right thing to say. She knew that whatever she would say would just be used against her thus she opted to remain silent.
“Why are you just talking and attacking us? Oh, I forgot that your family business is being oppressed by Damien. Even though it is still on, in a few years, your family’s company will be bankrupt and you will be so poor. I am sure that you are here to go shopping because you are afraid that in the upcoming years, you won’t be able to buy any new outfits and bags. If I were you, I would buy some jewels so that you can sell them during that period,” Marie said with a smirk on her face.
Eunice's face got its colour after hearing her words and she was impressed by her.
Amanda’s and Elsa’s eyes turned cold as they looked at her. Amanda blamed herself for what had happened to Flores. If she had not left the country or at least visited them before leaving, the Flores situation would not have been the way it was. Only her family, Mr Flores, and his son know how much Damien had oppressed them. He wanted them to be bankrupt, if it wasn’t for Ariana’s intervention and support, they would have already been done.
When Adrian went, it was because she had instructed him to check on them. She knew that they did not want to help them openly as they wanted her to do that as she started challenging the Scotts. Now that she was here, she would make the other families envious of them. She would make sure that she made them the richest family in the city.
“Since you think we are here because of that, if we buy things worth ten million dollars then you two have to apologize to her and never come back to this mall. You will be blacklisted.”
