Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Exactly, those who were coming out were Anne and her friends, and they wore the same expressions of derision towards Esther.

Esther was always taught not to have a quarrel with anyone in public, since that would only embarrass herself. However, what Serena stuck to was to have a toe-to-toe quarrel right the second if it was necessary.

So Serena immediately refuted in an ironic tone, “Miss Anne, stealing someone else’s boyfriend must be so fun now you even can’t help picking up a fight. Right?”

Anne always had a bad impression of a rich young lady like Serena. The most likely explanation was that she was jealous of Serena who came from a richer and more powerful family than the Cusacks. She glanced at Serena with disdain and said, “Miss Serena, you’re actually the one who is picking up a fight, aren’t you? Didn’t you see me ignore you? Why are you so eager to talk to me?”

“I’m eager to talk to you? You bitch, who do you think you are? Just looking at your back would disgust me. I don’t know why James could sleep with you. Is he blind or something?”

“Serena.” Esther grabbed her arm helplessly, “Is it fun to quarrel with such a person?”

“Of course not. I just hated to see what she did to you. She stole your boyfriend, but she still had the nerve to pick up a fight against you. Shame on her.”

“I stole her boyfriend?” Anne mocked her with a sneer, “You’d better ask her first. Has James ever slept with her? She doesn’t deserve James. She could only marry Mr. Terence, that ugly man who has been sick all the time.”

After Anne finished that, she turned around and said to her friends, “You know what? This woman turned to marry Mr. Terence who has been sick all the time to take her revenge on James. She must have thought that James and I would care about it. How hilarious! How could she think she would take her revenge on us by marrying an ugly aged guy who might die at any time?”

“Is that true? Does Mr. Terence look ugly?” One of Anne’s friends asked with a smile on purpose.

“How ugly?” Another one asked.

Anne sniggered, “Who knows? I’m afraid only Esther would know the truth.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Their continuous mockery irritated Serena. She would have slapped their faces hard if Esther hadn’t stopped her.

Just as she thought that Esther would do nothing but stand that, Esther suddenly let go of her arm. She took a few steps towards Anne and slapped her face in anger, “Anne, how could you be that vicious? You hate me, which I know clearly. You can just come at me directly instead of humiliating an irrelevant person.”

“How…” Anne did not expect that Esther would actually slap her. She was being furious, “How dare you slap me?”

“Way to go.” Serena was cheering from the side, “Give her one more.”

Esther didn’t do that. Instead, she stared at her, refuting, “He is ugly, and he has been sick all the time. But does that have anything to do with you? Why didn’t you see yourself in the mirror to check who you really were when you critiqued his appearance and cursed him an early death? Only a fool like James would think you’re the best and purest girl in this world.”

“You…” Anne was too furious to say any other word, and she just couldn’t refute what Esther said.
