Chapter 8: Retaliation

“Bella, what do you mean by looking at me like that?”- said Nancy.

It turns out, that Annie was looking at her with cold eyes which scared her a bit.

"Uhm... Alright! Forget that! I'm just worried for you... your dress is dirty and... I'm so sorry for that!"

"Never mind! That's my dress and I don't need your care. I mean... people like you who always try to harm others."- said Annie.

"What...what do you mean? You mean that I intentionally poured water on your dress?"- Nancy was a little panicked.

"Nothing, I just wanted to remind you of something."- Annie smiled.

 There were many people gathered around, they pointed and talked about them. The way that Annie looked at Nancy, really scared her.

"Bella! Bella!"-said, Dustin. His panicked voice startled Annie.

"I'm here. What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing... I'm just... what happens to your dress?"

"Yeah... Don't worry about that! There is a lady who intentionally poured wine on me."

"Who did?"- asked Dustin. He took off his coat and put it on Annie. His voice was so scary at that time.

"No, don't worry, it's just an accident, right? I'm still talking to her now."

Annie went to the table, looked around, and picked up a glass of red wine, stared at the glass for a while. Then she took a sip of wine and poured the rest on Nancy which surprised everyone.

"You...What are you doing?"-she glared. Her hair and dress were all wet.

"Relax! Don't look at me like that!"-Annie threw the glass.

Nancy shouted, making a rush at Annie. Annie stepped back, lifting her legs, causing her to fall.

Annie: "Remember your action today!"

Nancy was really scared, she couldn't even look at Annie.

"Nancy, Nancy!"-The maid ran over to help her. The present also came, he doesn't seem to be hospitable anymore.

“Mrs. Bella, I need an explanation. I never like this kind of mess happening in my house, especially on special days.”

“I know, but you should ask your niece first.”-she said.

“What did she do? Please tell me!”- said the president.

“I don’t know, just ask your niece!”

“I hope you respect me because I’m your predecessor, right?”

“That’s right, but I never think you have a niece like this, need me to open your eyes?”

Her attitude made the president angry.

Maye couldn’t help but shout also:

“Bella, My grandpa invited you and your husband here with good intentions. Though you are the manager of the FC group or Dustin’s wife. Your attitude is unacceptable!”- She was so serious.

“I know what I’m doing, but have you guys ever respected me? I know all, I know what you’re thinking about me and your plans also. If you guys respect me, I’ll definitely do the same.”

This time, Maye didn’t know what to say. The atmosphere in the room became quiet. No one dared to say anything.

That’s totally Nancy’s fault. She always hates Bella. She is jealous of what Bella has, she loves Dustin but finally, he married Bella…

Maye bit her lip, still staring at Annie. Just when she was about to say something more, Micheal suddenly came.

Micheal quickly walked over, still holding a phone in his hand:

"Nancy, Nancy! Stop it! That’s enough! This is a party.”

She looked at her brother with resentment:

“But…She…”

Micheal threw the phone and shouted:

“Look at this, what did you do, Nancy? I never think you are that kind of person…”

Nancy trembled and took the phone. She was quiet. After that, her face turned pale. Everyone was also very surprised, and curious about the thing on her phone…

Micheal went up to Annie: " Bella, I'm really sorry for what happened today, that’s an accident and I hope you won’t blame them. They are still young. I promise to pay more attention.”

Annie still kept silent.

"This matter…" The president couldn't help but want to go up and advise Micheal.

“No, grandpa, I’ll explain later..”
