She always seemed to snatch everything that she loved, and now she even wanted to take her man?
The more Sallie thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn’t like the idea of Lucinda stealing her man from her. So she began to say abusive words which were filled with mockery.
“I wanted to help you because I’m nice. Don’t act like you’re rich!
You got the car on a loan, right? Isn’t it cool to have a boyfriend who would buy you a car?”
Lucinda scowled and stole a glance at Sallie.
But she didn’t want to retort. After all, they went through a tough time together at the orphanage. Lucinda intended to leave immediately she bought a car. They wouldn’t have anything to do with each other after that day anyway.
Sallie saw that Lucinda didn’t counter her and her arrogance grew.
She shot Lucinda a glare as she was about to pay for the car.
“The Roberts family just dumped her! What was she so full of herself about anyway? Does she really believe that she’s any better than me?”
Sallie didn’t even bother to keep her voice down, and Lucinda heard her loud and clear.
“What did you just say?” Lucinda abruptly halted, turning to give Sallie a hard stare.
Sallie felt a chill run down her spine at the coldness in Lucinda’s gaze. But she quickly regained her composure and put on a haughty expression.
“You heard me perfectly well.”
Lucinda’s expression grew even colder.
“I wasn’t planning to give you any attention, but you kept asking for it.”
Sallie felt a twinge of fear, wondering if Lucinda was going to retaliate.

But to her surprise, Lucinda simply walked away without another word, leaving Sallie behind.
Sallie wasn’t about to let Lucinda intimidate her.
“Do you think that was supposed to scare me?” My boyfriend is the vice president of Cloudset Group. Who do you think you are? I won’t let you leave!”
Sallie yelled at the direction where Lucinda went. In reality, she was scared for a moment, but she didn’t want to show it.
She didn’t take Lucinda’s words to heart. Instead, she clung to Jax’s arm and acted like a spoiled child, hoping to get what she wanted.
“Honey,” she purred, “I want a BMW. You’re the best, so buy it for me, okay?”
He froze for a minute. He knew he could afford a BMW, but that would certainly cost him a fortune.
But he didn’t want to disappoint Sallie, especially with all the saleswomen staring at him.
