Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1157

"Not only are you spending the money of the dead, make dirty deals, and even discredit the dead. Do you not feel guilty and wake up frightened?!"

"What a dog in the manger. When are you going to stop welshing?!"

Screaming and shouting, the only thing Cindy hadn't done was stomp. Waverly dusted her dress as though she heard nothing, calm and collected. She'd quirk her brows from time to time, but her sight remained on the red wine stain, looking as though she felt bad about her dress. Her behavior, languid, and gaze, desultory, only sparing a couple of glances at Cindy. Even so, it only looked like she was watching a jester doing something inappropriate, not stooping to her level.

Cindy was gasping when she finished her tirade, turning livid with rage in a split second. "Waverly Castle, you really are f*cking shameless! When are you going to return our betrothal gifts?!"

Pausing her action, Waverly glared daggers at Cindy but uncharacteristically chuckled.

"Haha, betrothal gifts? Oh, so now you remember I'm a member of the Wright family, my dear sisterin- law? Pity though; have you forgotten I'm widowed, not divorced! Since I'm divorced, why should I return the betrothal gifts?"

Her worlds shut Cindy right up, looking even more awful in an instant.

Waverly was all 'none of your anger bothers me' endearing princess kind of an attitude as she checked her nails.

"Seeing that we used to be in-laws, I'll let this slide this time! My dress costs a fortune, my dear sister-in-law. Better take a good look before you make your move next time, or I worry... you can't AFFORD the damage even if you BREAK THE BANK!"

She deliberately emphasized her words as she glared daggers at Cindy and even deliberately pulled her collar up in front of her as if she worried Cindy wouldn't notice her sexy and eye-catching revealing collar.

Sure enough, Cindy turned livid with rage the next second, speechless, "You, you..."

She stomped her foot.

"Fine, don't return the betrothal gifts, but shouldn't you use it to pay the debts?! How dare you hog all the money and live like a king when we have to shoulder the burden of bankruptcy and owing debts?! You evil wench! Your mother must've also died because of you! A courtesan who can't stand to be alone!"

Waverly guffawed with her head up and forced her tears back. When her gaze landed back on Cindy, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and smiled smugly.

"Why, are you jealous? Isn't it thanks to your family that I can live my pretty little life?! Speaking of which, I really have to thank my 'fake' wealthy father; experience sure counts. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have signed the prenuptial agreement, and I wouldn't be bound to any debts. Think of what you guys did before you go around accusing people. The whole of your family came together to deceive me, yet you have the audacity to accuse me of filing a divorce?! Do you really think you're royalty and make abusive clauses?! Pfft..."

With a sneer, a trace of cold determination appeared on Waverly's face.

"You are the one who should f*cking leave. Who do you think you are to criticize me?! I won't be this nice the next time!"

What a bunch of shameless a*sholes!

She hadn't wanted to stoop to her level, but some people just had to learn the lesson!

Just as she was about to leave, someone tugged

at her wrist. "You-"

As their gaze met, Waverly frowned, thinking, "What? Does she want a fight?" She refused to believe Cindy dared to do so in such an event.

However, her thought was only inchoate when she heard a slap and her cheek burned. With a stumble, Waverly's ear buzzed as she looked up with incredulity, wide-eyed.
