‘How does Zina even dare to say such things?‘ someone thought in disbelief. ‘Does she even realize what she’s getting herself into? Is there really a woman this gutsy in the world?‘
Finally, someone couldn’t hold back and spoke up.
“Do you even know what you’re saying? This is the Lambert family. You can’t just say whatever you want here,” someone exclaimed.
“Yeah, she really doesn’t know her place,” another person chimed in.
“Are kids these days really this arrogant?” someone else muttered.
Amidst the crowd’s chatter, Zina clearly caught the gloating look on Rosie’s face and didn’t hesitate to call her out. “What are you laughing at?” Zina asked.
“What?” Rosie stiffened, suddenly put on the spot, and met Zina’s icy gaze.
Zina’s voice was crisp and unusually serious. She looked straight at Rosie and said, “What are you laughing at? What? Is that such a hard question to answer?”
“I–I wasn’t,” Rosie stammered, quickly shaking her head. She bit her lower lip, her eyes growing misty, and her voice sounded even more aggrieved.
“I don’t know why you’d say that about me, Zina. I was just trying to remind you to be a little more careful, and that’s all. If you don’t want me to, I won’t say anything next time,” Rosie said, sounding even more wronged.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, and with only half of her delicate face visible under the side lighting, Rosie looked as if she might break at any moment–pitiful and fragile.
Even Zina let out a couple of tsk–tsks, unable to hold back her sarcasm.
Someone in the crowd finally couldn’t stand it anymore and snapped at Zina.
“Seriously, what’s your deal? Are you really going to bully her in front of everyone like this?”
“Me?” Zina raised an eyebrow. “Let’s not even talk about whether what you all said about me is true. But just from her few words, anyone with half a brain can see what kind of piece of work she is.
“And now you’re all jumping to defend her. Are you basically admitting you’re super stupid?”
As Zina spoke, her gaze landed on the man who had just spoken, and she nodded to herself, as if confirming her thoughts.
She felt like she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn’t quite remember when.
The man’s eyes reddened with fury as he fixed Zina with a murderous glare.
