Chapter 172: High Society Debuts Are Difficult! (2)
Fights.Quarrels.Conflicts. There were many types of discord in the world.There were large-scale ones, like when two massive groups clash over irreconcilable ideologies.And there were small, personal disputes that arose from trivial matters.
Often, fuel for conflict would accumulate slowly, only needing a tiny spark to ignite.The quarrel between Salome and Cariote was like that.Normally, Salome and Cariote paid little attention to each other.It wasn't that they deliberately ignored each other. Rather, it was as if their habitats were different, so there was no need to clash.Like how tigers in the jungle and lions on the savanna don't fight each other.
But what would happen if you put two predators from different ecosystems in the same cage?
That's right.Conflict was inevitable, just a matter of time.
The only question was when and where the switch would be flipped!And today, that switch was finally flipped!
At first, the two had a normal conversation.There was a sense of being housemates living under the same roof, after all.After bathing in their respective bathrooms, they exchanged light nods.That was usually the extent of their communication.But on this day, Salome spoke up first.
"I'm taking Hina to the park today. With all the travel, Christmas, and New Year's, we've fallen behind in her studies. I need to ask Brigitte to teach her magic too."
Salome wanted to raise Hina to be the perfect young lady.If she succeeded, Hina could inherit a large fortune from Judas, and it would prove that Salome was the most outstanding among the women.
- Hina is the smartest and prettiest. That means you, Salome, as Hina's mother, are the smartest and prettiest. You're my true wife.'Hehe, just like that.'As Salome was lost in such thoughts, Cariote seemed to be thinking quietly. Her expression was quite serious, so Salome was also coming out of her reverie when Cariote opened her heavy lips.
