Chapter 20 As Despicable as Always

Emma felt like ignoring Arianna, so she simply focused on having a taste of the coffee that she had made for her and Susanna. However, even though Emma was trying to steer away from trouble, Arianna clearly didn't think the same. When Arianna saw how Emma had completely ignored her, she placed her arms on her waist while storming over to stand in front of Emma and Susanna's table. "Hey! Did you turn deaf after going abroad for one year?"
Arianna was used to speaking as if she were a level above Emma, and she was used to addressing Emma in a rude tone. She had completely forgotten how Emma wasn't related to her at all after Emma's divorce. In other words, Emma was no longer obligated to tolerate Arianna's terrible temper. Emma sat firmly in her spot as she looked up and gazed at Arianna. "I do think I've changed, but it seems like you haven't changed at all, Miss Bateson."
Emma shot a glare at Arianna's arrogant face as she enunciated clearly, "You're still as despicable as always."
