Farrah"s mocking makes Sophie screech like a cat. "You b.i.t.c.h! Who are you calling ugly?"The sight of Sophie losing her temper makes Farrah instantly feel better. She waves her hand casually and downplays her words.
"Since Miss Anderson can"t accept kind advice from others, please pretend that I didn"t say anything. But I believe that other people aren"t blind. Everyone can see who has a good figure and beautiful legs," Farrah says, glancing nonchalantly between Sophie"s and Katrina"s legs.
In the face of Farrah"s calm criticism, Sophie becomes more and more upset.
She knows that even if she is spoiled and comes from a n.o.ble and rich family, she is not as beautiful as Katrina. She does not have Katrina"s delicate facial features. Without makeup, the contrast between them becomes more obvious.
Her figure is not as perfect as Katrina"s, either.
She tries hard to keep herself in shape, enough to feel confident about her body in front of others. But she has always been insecure when it comes to Katrina. Compared to her, Sophie"s figure is not as well-proportioned, and her legs are not as attractive.
Sophie believes that no one is perfect. Everyone is flawed in some way.
But objectively speaking, Katrina is the exception. Sophie can"t pick out any faults in her at all.
Katrina is a poor woman who lost her parents when she was a child. With such an inferior background, she should be beneath Sophie. Yet Katrina is superior to her when it comes to natural beauty.
Sophie has always wanted to surpa.s.s Katrina in every aspect. Although Farrah"s words ring true, she would never admit it out loud. She can"t tolerate this blatant mockery.
Every time Katrina outdoes Sophie, Sophie hates her even more.
"Miss, the dress is ready," the saleswoman says, coming over with the shopping bag and smiling at Sophie politely.
But Sophie is fuming in anger. At the sight of the dress, she is overcome with fury. She takes the dress out of the bag and tears it apart furiously.
Despite successfully s.n.a.t.c.hing a dress from Katrina, there is no way Sophie would wear a dress that would fit Katrina better. It would only be asking for insult.
Sophie tears the dress apart with her bare hands, her heart filled with resentment.
A good figure? Beautiful legs? Even if the dress is perfect for Katrina, she won"t get her hands on it! If I can"t have it, then neither can she!
The saleswoman is shocked by the display. Rus.h.i.+ng over to save the dress is futile. By the time she reaches Sophie, the dress has been torn into pieces.
Still feeling angry, Sophie throws the shreds of cloth to the ground and stamps fiercely on the floor to vent out her rage.
Katrina and Farrah"s exchange stunned looks.
Even Farrah herself doesn"t expect Sophie to go on a crazy tantrum. Is she insane? The dress has nothing to do with us. Sophie destroying the dress has no effect on them at all.
Katrina feels a chill run down her spine. It feels like Sophie is venting her anger with Katrina on the dress.
"Miss!" the saleslady cries. "Even if you don"t want to buy it, there"s no need to do that!" She gathers the tatters in dismay, shooting dirty looks at Sophie.
The saleslady decides to call the police. In all her years of being a shop a.s.sistant, she has never seen anyone destroy clothes with such anger.
Sophie knows that if the matter is not properly resolved, the saleslady will not let her go. Since she has torn the dress to the point where it can"t be salvaged, she has no choice but to hand over her credit card. "What nonsense are you talking about! Who says I won"t buy it? "
After a moment of surprise, the saleslady rushes to swipe the card. Apparently, Sophie tears up a dress worth a thousand dollars just to vent her anger.
The shop a.s.sistant returns the card to Sophie. Gradually calming down, Sophie suddenly realizes that she was ridiculous just now.
Katrina is the one she is angry with. What did she tear the dress for? As a result, she had to pay for the damaged item.
The more Sophie thinks about it, the angrier she becomes with herself for her foolish actions. She won"t be satisfied until she vents her anger out on Katrina.
Sophie deliberately looks for trouble again. She belittles Katrina harshly, bringing up her family and mocking her with malicious language.
"Katrina, who do you think you are? You"re just a poor orphan girl! If my father didn"t adopt you out of kindness, do you think you"d be able to go to college or even be alive now? You"d probably be sleeping with some dirty old men right now!"
In the face of Sophie"s verbal abuse, Katrina smiles calmly. "It"s a pity you didn"t inherit your father"s kindness."
Even though Sophie"s unpleasant words sting, Katrina knows she would only make Sophie happy if she shows how much her words affect her. She is obviously trying to get a rise out of her.
Katrina decides to tolerate the abuse and behave nonchalantly, rendering Sophie"s humiliation pointless.
Sure enough, Sophie"s mockery doesn"t work. Upon seeing Katrina unaffected, she suddenly doesn"t know how to vent her anger. In the end, she sulks in defeat.
Just then, Sophie"s phone rings.
Still upset, she isn"t in the mood to answer the call. When the phone keeps ringing, she answers the call and snaps impatiently, "What?"
On the other end of the line, her friend Cindy can"t wait to share the big gossip with her. "Sophie, have you heard? Marcellus and Katrina have broken up! They broke up!"
Sophie is surprised at the news. "What? They"ve broken up?"
"Yes! Marcellus and Irene are now together! I checked her blog and she posted about it! It seems that Marcellus"s mother also likes her very much! She posted a picture with his mother. They look very close. She must be Marcellus"s new girlfriend!"
