Seizing upon her reluctance to make a scene in front of Franco, they brazenly ridiculed her.
Alexandra brow furrowed, about to speak, but her eyes caught sight of Hannah lifting a wine glass.
Splash! !
Hannah flung the red wine from her glass straight into Tyshawn’s face!

Tyshawn, unable to contain his fury, tossed the napkin onto the table and stood up.
“Don’t act so self-righteous! After your divorce from the Edwards family, you walked away with 20% of their stock!”
“Why not take up a career in tabloid journalism? You seem to have a knack for it,” Hannah retorted.
“If you’re envious, go marry into some wealthy Valmere family. If you’re skilled enough, maybe you can take 20% of their shares too.”
