Chapter 2030


    Arabe wiped her hands and looked down at the person sprawled on the floor with a disdainful sneer,


    "I thought you had some guts, showing your teeth and ws like that. Turns out you''re nothing. Next


    time before you strut around, weigh yourself up - don''t embarrass yourself so easily. You might not care


    about your reputation, but think about your family."


    Harriet bit her lower lip, struggling to her feet.


    "Do you need me to give you the McMillian family''s number so you can go cry to them? Or perhaps


    you''d rather tattle to my kin? Pick whichever you like."


    Harriet was seething with rage; Arabe''s arrogance was too much to bear!


    Beside her, Cathy watched with wide-eyed admiration; Be was badass, so cool!


    "Since you''re not in the mood to make calls." Arabe pulled a check from her purse and tossed it at


    Harriet, "Fill it out with whatever you want, consider itpensation for your medical expenses. And


    while you''re at it, maybe get your head checked too."


    Harriet clenched her teeth with fury.


    "Still here? Want another round?"


    At Arabe''s words, Harriet turned on her heel and stormed off.


    "Arabe, you''re amazing!" Cathy sighed admiringly, "She didn''t dare make a damn peep."


    "Try to be a bit more refined. No need to talk about the gross stuff."


    Cathy couldn''t help butugh. Just then, the waiter knocked and brought in their food.


    "Arabe, should we move to a different private room?"


    "No need. This is fine," Arabe noticed that Cathy seemed much cheerier than before.


    "Help yourself to more food, Arabe." Taking the tableware, Cathy started to fill Arabe''s te with


    an assortment of sushi, eager to share, "Our family is alwayspared to Romeo''s by others. I know


    there''s a lot of talk out there. Everyone seems to think that we''re not doing as well as they are."


    While munching on the food, Cathy continued, "Whenever both families attend a banquet, guests flock


    around Romeo''s family, not ours. And in meetings, the executives tend to heed his advice over ours."


    Cathy poured Arabe another cup of tea, and then added, "Truth be told, our families have always


    been close, unaffected by the outside noise. But growing up surrounded by whispers and feeling that


    difference in treatment, it''s impossible to say it didn''t affect me."


    To everyone else, the eldest son''s family wasn''t as prosperous as the second''s, where Romeo had


    be the wealthiest man in the world. Inparison, their own aplishments seemed to pale.


    As she finished speaking, Cathy''s phone rang. It was Romeo calling. She shot Arabe a look that


    screamed for help. Had Harriet run straight to him to tattle?


    Cathy braced herself and answered on speakerphone, only to hear Romeo''s lively voice, "Enjoying the

    meal?"


    Cathy was petrified, "Did Harriet b about where we were? Romeo, we didn''t do anything wrong.


    Harriet insulted Arabe, said she could buy you two’s affections with money. I told her to leave, but


    she wouldn''t budge and kept hurling insults. Arabe only reacted because she couldn''t stand it


    anymore. It wasn''t serious, just a soft p, like a breeze passing by." Reаd at


    Arabe thought, “A soft p? Like a breeze?” Harriet''s face had clearly swollen, with five distinct


    finger marks. And the marks on her neck were hard to miss.
